man of the match in a game btw world cup new comer or 43th ranked team
wat of muller hatrick against portugal earning him d man of the match



Nigeria was new comer in 1994, yet we defeated Bulgaria 3-0. If that had happened to Argentina against Bosnia, you would be the 1st to mock Messi.
This is world cup. No team is small or new. Why didn't Pele play with d best in Europe? He played with new teams @ d world cup, yet people say he's d greatest.

Stop this bias and say d fact. Messi deserves it.

Well I'm not too sure Messi deserved the golden ball award.

Apart from the group stages where he was highly influential, his performances in the knockout stages were average at best.

Gone are the days when best players bully other players around or muscle their way past defences, Messi is the best of this era, but this tournament has debunked his "so called" invincibility, Messi is capable of producing moments of brilliance at any time, but he's totally stoppable with the right strategy.

He was totally subdued in this final, at some point, he was just a shadow.

The golden ball should have gone to Manuel Neuer just like Oliver Khan in 02, Argentina were lucky to even be in this final.

chances created as wat... Messiah had just 1 assist dz tournament... Rodriguez had 5

Chances created is different from goal assists. Goal assists are only those created chances that were actually scored by other people. FIFA considers all of these, particularly on close-call situations like in this world cup.

he does not know anything about football. there is a very fine line between an assist and a created chance. that's why he and his likes need to watch the full matches and stop watching hightlights only. messi created many chances that were wasted by his team mates. are you gonna blame it on him?

Messi was on his way to winning it with that performance till he got injured, so cr7 should thank his stars that he smelt another balon d or grin
outdated excuse. nobody asked him to get injured.

Messi was the best player on the field (man of the match) 4 times out of seven. Muller 2 times. Robben 3 times. James 3 times. Messi also created the most goal-scoring chances (23). With better finishers in his team, he'd have bagged the highest assists by far.

This dude was directly involved in every Argentina goal except the one by Higuain (Di-Maria's assist from a Messi pass).

The golden ball is not for the highest goal scorer, there's a golden boot for that.

The golden ball is not for a player just cos his team wins, there's a gold medal for that.

The golden ball is for the overall most influential player to team success. Messi is that player. Only James' influence is comparable, his team just wasn't successful.

Muller who?

If Muller swap team with Messi, he won't have any influence on Argentina. However, if Messi were German, omo, he would shatter records.

Why not
Messi is the best.
Do you know how many players it takes to hold messi?
Look at what happened to Brazil when Neymer was out
If it is possible I will take this world cup from Germany and give it to messi.
Hope he wins world best this year.

Perpetual Messi Haters

You are no more routing for C. Ronaldo, abi?

I always knew someone will come up with a thread like this. Even if Argentina had won the world cup, a thread would have created asking if they deseved it.

How many of those other players you are mentioning can carry a mediocre team like that always with four, five players on him to the final.
