Dhulqarnain:
According to Mr Houllier,d final ws counted like evry oda game.
Like he rightly said,ppl only rememba d 2nd half of d final,using it to judge Messi's tournament.
Again,I ask,if Messi had won d WC,wud u av questned his golden ball award?

thegoodjoehunt: There is a whole lot of difference. Corner kicks, you do not have to work hard to take it. It is a dead ball. Crosses, takes you out running, beating your marker to put it in. A player like Lavezzi can win a corner and Messi has to go and take it.

thegoodjoehunt: ROBben had the highest number of crosses in the whole World cup. I am not ready to start digging out stats. Most of Messi's chance created were ramped up by corners. Messi did not deserve the Golden Ball. Even the stats point most Messi fans are claiming were the reasons for the award, castrol index proves it was not true. Finito.

Baddestguyp: how many of robben's crosses were accurate? So if i start crossing d ball anywhere it makes me d best? By there way, the are low through balls nt only high crosses

Baddestguyp: the through balls counted are actually the accurate nd successful ones so u hav no point. Messi has the highest number of accurate through balls

thegoodjoehunt: Are you saying all Messi's corner kicks were accurate? What I am saying, this has never been the criteria for given the World Best player.

Based on Performance and impact, Messi was not the best. Based on starts as Messi fans claim, Medal was not the best.

Baddestguyp: not all of messi's crosses, corners or through passes we accurate bt he still had d highest number of accurate ones

thegoodjoehunt: It is only his through passes that were tagged accurate. The question is, was that why he won the Golden ball?

Baddestguyp: For y'all screaming robben, how many man of d match did he collect? Probably the highest "dive of the match". James also shouldnt be compared. Yes he scored more goals nd dat was why he got d golden ball. Even tho messi didnt score at the knockout stage, he was still very influential in the knockout stage. He played for the team nd had to pass at least two lines of defence to get to the opponents post unlike muller nd others who just chill at d front nd wait for d ball. Do u tink messi wouldnt hav gotten d highest goals if he had stayed up front? He did all this nd was still able to be the best player. He created most of their chances, had 3rd highest dribbles in wc history, bagged for man of d match, had many tackles as an attacker? Still scored half of his team's goals, involved in 3/4 of them. Pls how many of these things did zidane nd forlan get when they won golden ball. Bt they will complain becos its messi. If aguero or even lavezzi had these statistics they would gladly accept. Stop being biased messi deserved it

Baddestguyp: pls who else had 4 man of the match? If ur remove robben or muller 4rm their teams, deir teams would still go far bt imagine argentina without him. These other players u mention play in matches too bt why dont they get motm if they are so outstanding

thegoodjoehunt: Has the Golden ball ever been given because of Man Of the Match award?

thegoodjoehunt: It is clear you did not watch Forlan or Zidane when they performed and won their golden balls in 2006 and 2010.

Go and check, they were magical and mind blowing. Not like Messi, you guys have to look for excuses to call him the best.

Baddestguyp: its one of the most important criterias. Being the best player in most of the games makes u d best player in d competition

Baddestguyp: for ur info i watched those games. Bt i think its u who didnt watch most argentina games

thegoodjoehunt: James Rodriguez won 3 man of the match awards and scored 6 goals. He scored in every game he played. He scored the goal of the tournament.

Baddestguyp: nd thats why he got d golden boot. Most of his motm awards were cos of his goals nt reli his influence. Simple

thegoodjoehunt: You guys are funny. Man of the match? Please three were in the group stages. Against Bosnia, Nigeria and Iran. Lol. That is why I said you guys did not watch the past world cups and know what it takes to be true greats of a World Cup.

That Messi's golden ball will stand as a disgrace to FIFA and Sell Blatter.

It is no more statistics, since Castrol Index proves is a lie. Now it is man of the match.

thegoodjoehunt: ROBben had the highest number of crosses in the whole World cup. I am not ready to start digging out stats. Most of Messi's chance created were ramped up by corners. Messi did not deserve the Golden Ball. Even the stats point most Messi fans are claiming were the reasons for the award, castrol index proves it was not true. Finito.

thegoodjoehunt: Yes, I would have questioned it. Messi was no where the best individual player at the World Cup. He was not even the best player in his team. Mascherano was.

thegoodjoehunt: What do you mean by shots? So that should be the criteria for selecting the golden ball? Do you know that some of the so called created chances by Messi are corner kicks?

Leave these jokes. It was clear corruption.

tuffgongjo: And this same Messi ain't in d WC First 11?fifa is a joke.

Baddestguyp: u make me laugh. messi is on d list check again
