Default Re: Man of the Match

I think I've worked out their formula for games such as Croatia 0 Japan 0

FIFA checklist:

1) Did the favourites win? No, so Man of the Match must be player on other side
2) Do underdogs have quite a famous player? Yes
3) Let's give it to Hidetoshi Nakata

If the answer to 2) is No in a 0-0 draw
3) Let's give it to the goalkeeper e.g. Joao Ricardo of Angola
