World Cup (M): Match MVPs

This is so cool!

So after every World Cup match, the local organizers get to pick the best player of the match regardless if the chosen player is a starter, comes off the bench, best scorer of the match, best digger and etc. There’s no set criteria for selecting the Most Impressive Player or the Most Valuable Player of the Match. As far as we know, a player can win more than one award as long as her teams keeps winning or the best player from the losing team can be the chosen too. Loves it!
