5 Players who won a World Cup despite putting in questionable contributions

Colombia v England: Round of 16 - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia

4. Bernard Diomede – France

France has always been one of the aggressive teams. Being a part of the team in 1998 World Cup, Bernard Diomede came out as a very agile, witty and aggressive player. With other players like Zidane, Viera, Thuram, Desailly, Trezeguet, and Henry, the team displayed a very powerful game.

But looking back into the game, we see that Bernard Diomede played only two group games and around sixteen matches for France, and didn’t play any further. France; however, went on to beat Brazil and won their first world title.
