MrRenaissance: I think NOT. Messi was outplayed by Robben. This is broad daylight robbery. I've learnt that FIFA is the worst Hypocrites and Rascist ever. I don't even need to mention names, the case of Onazi vs Matuidi and Neymar Vs Zuniga, readily comes to mind. If you like go and give it to C-ronaldo: all I know is Mercy will always speak for Messi. 1 Like |

vislabraye: . I can imagine Ronaldo laughing. FIFA has a poor sense of judgment. The same way he was laughing when he won the last Ballon D'or without being a highest goal scorer even in La liga not to talk of winning a single title. Why can't you carry this Messi's award and give it to Ronaldo then? Well, all I know is - Mercy will always speaks for Messi, or can you spell Semis without spelling Messi? All na grace bros! |

Ephemmm: Hahahaha...what a funny joke...the mportance of mess"s goals indeed.messi scored 4 goals n the group stages and one assist in the first round and got missen n the quater finals,semi finals and the finals...the 3 most important stages in the tournament and you talk about importance of his goals and funniest is people talking about messi taking argentina to the final and wonder how. Its a pity FIFA is dragging its rep through the mud this way and losing its credibilty aand pedigree because of messi.It use to be robbing CR7 to pay messi and everybody gave FIFA the benefit of the doubt but this is just obvious and echoes the fact that CR7 has been robbed over the years. You people should stop manufacturng flimsy excuses to justify this aberation. 2 Likes |

Re: Did Messi Deserve The World Cup Golden Ball? by thegoodjoehunt(m): 9:42pm On Jul 14, 2014 |
Ephemmm:The World Cup is not Ballon D'or. This is a tournament. It takes a best at something to be crowned the best player of the World Cup. Best goal scorer, best assists, highest in combination when you look at assists and goals of all players. Best defender, best keeper. Or, a magical performance that gives your team the World Cup. Look at 1982 final look at Paolo Rossi of 1982 World Cup who won the golden boot and scored a hat trick in the finals. You can not argue with it. Forlan in 2010, his five goals and one assists. Even the CR7 Ballon D'or of 2013 was declared the highest goal scorer in a season in 2013. An astonishing 69 goals. So what was the best Messi won to be the Golden ball winner? Nothing. 1 Like |

pascalmilan11: Germany has d team but Argentina has messi ...remember golden ball is an individual award so dat boy deserved itI have never heard of a Golden Ball given because a player was the most important. It is what the player brought to the table. By the way, Argentina had better individual talents than the Germans. The Argentine chose to make Messi the point of their game. I feel that has been the downfall Of this Argentine Generation since after the 2005 WYC. Messi must be the best player, not Argentina must win. The Germans chose to play as a team, the Argentines chose to make Messi shine in a World cup. James Rodriguez did more than Messi in Five games compared to Messi's seven games. Messi did not deserve it. |

I was not talking about CR7 being better than Messi read again. You will see you are the sentimental one here. I said you have to be the best in some criteria before being tagged the best. Just like when Messi broke the scoring record of Gerd Müller. You just went ballistic because I used CR7 as an example. I was responding to someone saying CR7 went trophyless and was still crowned the best. He was the best at being the season's top goal scorer. In the World Cup, Messi was not an assists king or top goal scorer. |

yegbamee: What best did Zidane win to be 2006 Golden ball winner?We can not deny that Zidane was actually the best player in the 2006 World Cup. Without doubt, he was head and shoulders above everyone in that tournament. Note when I listed criteria, I said something magical to give your team a lift. Zidane gave one of the greatest world cup performance ever seen in the game against Brazil in 2006. His game also against the Spaniards was breathless. Zidan in 2006 World Cup was nothing less than magic. Zinedine Zidane vs Brazil - Magical Performance 2006 WC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNxDze0Ggag |

You will see you are the sentimental one here.o yeah, you love to use examples that are so convenient for you. so when forlan won the golden ball in 2010, he was the best in what? when zidane won it in 2006 he was the best in what? when ribery won the european player of the year he was the best in what? you dont have to be best in anything, you have to be the best player. being best player doesnt stop at scoring the highest goals. it's left for the constituted panel to sit and decide. your problem is that you feel you know what is right and what is to be done! you ve got only one head, other people have got only one head as well. because you think something is right does ot make it right. |

murimoney: those of u who are lamenting, lemme clear d air 4 ya. Golden ball is 4 best player of d tornament golden boot is 4 highest goal scorer. Messi was d driving force of argentina, whom still led them to d final, yes I know he didn't score any goals in d tornament. Robben played well but was a cheat all along, best diver lol. James rodriguez played his last worldcup game @ the quarter finals n he scored 6 goals which is d highest so he got his golden boot what else? Shurrle was always a subtitute, most of his goals were not vital, but his last asssist was n dat isn't enough. 4 me messi deserved it. #my opinion. stop analysing what u don't know...u said messi played well which was only in. d group stages..what about muller that scored an hatrick against Portugal and carry his form to the final or James Rodriguez that won't stop scoring from d group stage till d quarter final...probably u don't know he. also played and scored in d second. round. against Uruguay ..let ur argument be devoid of sentiment..

Ribery was in the record breaking treble winning Bayern side. I think in the Bayern side, he had the highest assists. Zidane had one of the most memorable performance in World Cup history. He outclassed Two former Ballon For winners (Kaka And Ronaldo Da Lima) and the present Ballon D'Or Winner then (Ronaldinho). Forlan had Five goals (highest in the World Cup) and Three assists. So tell me about Messi in 2010. |

thegoodjoehunt: We can not deny that Zidane was actually the best player in the 2006 World Cup. Without doubt, he was head and shoulders above everyone in that tournament.good you say zidane was the stand out player, others were below par, ronaldinho and co. but that was not the situation in 2010 and 2014. in SA 2010, there were a lot of stand out players and there was controversy as well, was it to be forlan, sneider, iniesta, xavi, villa, muller and casillas. each one of these 7 players had a very strong case for the golden ball. when forlan was awarded there was a bit of grumbling i promise you. this year we have messi, james, robben, neuer, muller and kroos. everyone of these 6 players has a strong case for the golden ball but only one has to win. but why is the crying so much this year? SIMPLE! because messi is involved! ever since 2009, everything has been messi or ronaldo. anything messi wins, ronaldo fans would come out in thousands crying, anything ronaldo wins, messi fans would come out in thousands crying. 90% of those crying about this golden ball to messi are ronaldo fan boys either openly or in disguise. but they will keep crying. |
