How the ratings work
Ratings are reader opinion scores on a scale out of 10 where 1 is very poor and 10 is outstanding. These are not official match statistics or professional grades; they show how fans judged individual performances in the game.
Keep your ratings focused on in-game contribution: effort, decision-making, defensive and attacking impact, and composure under the unique pressure of a final. Different viewers will weigh aspects differently, which is why we aggregate many votes.
How we aggregate poll results
We calculate a simple average from all reader-submitted scores for each player. The published final ratings display that average and the total number of votes received so you can see how widely held each rating is. A larger vote count gives greater confidence in the reported average.
Votes update in near real time while the poll is open. After the match ends we allow a short processing window before publishing final figures to ensure recent submissions are included and the averages are stable.
Match context for the ratings
This poll covers performances in the World Cup final featuring Spain and Argentina. Finals are high-pressure fixtures that often change how performances are judged; impact and temperament matter as much as technical quality.
When scoring think about the match context: how players coped with big moments, contribution to team shape, and reaction to set pieces and tactical switches. Avoid focusing solely on one showpiece moment; the aim is to rate overall influence across the game.
How to rate substitutes and short appearances
For players who played only a short time, judge them on impact during their minutes on the pitch. A substitute who changed the game can warrant a high score even with limited time, while a brief cameo with little influence may receive a lower mark.
If you feel a player did not have enough time to be fairly judged, you can choose to skip rating them; the averages will reflect the number of voters who did score that player.
When to check final ratings
Come back 30 minutes after full time for the published final ratings. That interval gives time for all votes cast up to the final whistle to be processed and averaged into the final figures.
At that moment we will publish average scores alongside vote counts for each player so you can compare your own scores to the aggregated reader view. If you want to change your mind before the poll closes you may do so; only the last submission before close is used.
Non-spoiler note on prompts and privacy
To keep the voting prompt consistent and fair, this page avoids naming or emphasising specific in-game incidents in the rating prompts. The focus is on overall performance rather than isolated moments. No personal data is requested to submit a rating.
