England's Kieran Trippier receives FIFA 18 World Cup upgrade
England finally won a World Cup penalty shootout last night, and Kieran Trippier was one of the men who slotted home from the spot.
He's one of four players to get Man of the Match upgrades in FIFA 18's special World Cup mode.
Alongside him are Swedes Emil Forsberg and Andreas Granqvist, as well as Yerry Mina, of the defeated Colombia.

Granqvist is actually the highest rated of the bunch at 87 overall, although he won't be a particularly popular choice for Ultimate Team. With just 59 pace, he won't be able to keep up with most attackers, despite his high stats in defending (90) and physical (89).
FUT players will like the 86 rated Mina more, although his pace (67) still isn't great. His other stats are pretty comparable to Granqvist, with 89 in defending, and 88 in physical.
Emil Forsberg will make for a decent attacking option at the CAM position. He's got 80 pace, 87 dribbling, 83 shooting, 88 passing, and 72 physical.
It's Kieran Trippier who probably has the best all round stats though, despite being the lowest rated of the four at 85 overall.
The England man has 82 pace, 82 dribbling, 81 defending, 84 passing, and 81 physical. His shooting is just 62, which is surprising given how adeptly he scored his penalty.
With the round of 16 over, we can now look forward to EA Sports' upgrades for the standard FIFA Ultimate Team mode. During the group stages, we were treated to extremely good cards, some of which were even better than the Team of the Season cards which came out recently.
Expect to see them within the next couple of days.
