Before the 2010 World Cup there was a lot of controversy about the Jabulani, the official tournament’s ball. The players and goalkeepers complained about how difficult it was to control it. Despite all that, Diego Forlan was one of the only players to truly master the Jabulani. His 5 goals in that World Cup made him the best player in that tournament. He scored with amazing shots from large distance, taking advantage of the domain he had of the Jabulani. Every time he had the ball it represented real danger to the opposition because he could shoot from every inch with amazing power and curve. Our World Cup API provides data on every shot taken in the match for your users to be able to recognize how dangerous some players are.
Javier Mascherano was a real warrior in the field. Despite playing as a center back in Barcelona, during the 2014 World Cup he had a key role playing as a center midfielder in Argentina’s campaign. He did an amazing job in the midfield fighting for every ball, intercepting passes and winning duels without committing many fouls. His contribution was very important to Argentina rock-solid defense, which only received just one goal during the knockout stages. One of the most iconic moments of that tournament was his last minute save against the Netherlands, when he blocked Arjen Robben’s goal with an amazing tackle.

Juan Fernando Quintero is one of the most talented Colombian players of all time and one of the best free-kick takers in the world. He has scored different types of free-kicks during his career from lots of angles. In Colombia’s first match of the 2018 World Cup against Japan he became the first player to score an under the wall free kick in a World Cup. That amazing goal also made him the first Colombian ever to score in two different World Cups (2014 and 2018), a record later reached by Juan Cuadrado who scored in the following match that year against Poland.
