[Kylian Mbappe](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231388/Kylian-Mbappé) is the best player in the world right now. [Jude Bellingham](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/291281/Jude-Bellingham) is one of the consensus picks among ESPN's writers in Qatar, but who else makes it in our World Cup Best XI lists so far?

World Cup quarterfinals: Teams, predictions, schedule and more (ESPN)

With the 2022 World Cup quarterfinals set, we bring you one key factor and one player to know ahead of the matchups, plus predictions.

[Matty Cash](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/234698/Matty-Cash), the Poland right-back, had a decent game against Mbappe and France in the round of 16. [Paul Pogba](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/138860/Paul-Pogba), [N'Golo Kante](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/173556/ngolo-kante)) and the players who have disappeared since the triumph in Russia in 2018 ( [Blaise Matuidi](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/85010/Blaise-Matuidi), [Corentin Tolisso](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/192060/Corentin-Tolisso)), the France head coach had to find a new plan and a new structure. [Antoine Griezmann](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/140416/Antoine-Griezmann) in this World Cup and it is fascinating to see. [Vinicius Jr.](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/252107/vinicius-junior), [Casemiro](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/173666/casemiro), [Raphinha](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231050/raphinha) -- the list goes on.

[Kylian Mbappe](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231388/Kylian-Mbappé) from a defensive point of view, but Kane has always wanted to be judged alongside the very best in the world: playing a defining role in a World Cup quarterfinal against top opposition would be one of the biggest moments in his career. [Frenkie de Jong](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/219022/Frenkie-de-Jong) to try and nullify Messi. [Neymar](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/132948/neymar), tucked in behind the centre-forward, will be in his zone a lot of the time and that's not a fun ride for anyone. [Netherlands](/soccer/team?id=449) vs. [Inter Milan](/soccer/club/_/id/110/internazionale). [Bracket](https://www.espn.com/soccer/bracket) [Croatia](/soccer/team?id=477) vs.
