fifa is seriously making football uninteresting to us
all. Messi did give a good account of himself in
Brazil, but the Golden Ball award to him is indeed a
joke. Robben, Muller or better still James Rodriguez
deserved the award.

The truth has to be said. Messi does not deserve it. FIFA is biased!

Yes, Messi deserves it, and here are the reasons why:

He created 23 chances (the tournament-high);
scored 4 goals;
gave one assist;
and produced 3 back-to-back Man-of-the-Match performances.

None of the other contenders matched this.

And all these with over 7 billion pairs of eyes (from friends and foes alike) trained on him. Yes, the entire world was watching. The pressure on that young man was enormous!!!

Let's look at it this way, Germany won the world cup withoutt their best player i.e reus meaning without muller it would have made no difference. But without messi, Argentina will definitely not come near the final sef. So year he does.





the award is tornament best not team best bro

ddippset: james rodriguez didnt go far enough to win the golden ball, he should manage the golden boot. robben was very good, great dribbling skills and great diving skills, but he didnt play in the final. muller scored a lot of goals including a hattrick against 10 man portugal and he had at least 6 other players in his squad as good as he. but messi was an impact player, decisive against iran, bosnia, iran, belgium, holland. without him argentina would have crashed out like last year but they played in the world cup final after 24 years. messi deserves his golden ball. mods- WHY IS THIS EVEN A TOPIC?
People saying Muller deserves it do not know that Germany played dependant on one another...whereas Argentina simply heaped pressure on Messi!!

Two assists actually and 4 consecutive man of the match performances. Without him Argentina wouldn't have smelled the finals.
People keep yelling robben, a captain that couldn't take the first shot on penalties against Argentina cos he didn't wanna fail. Messi tool the shot and scored it. Get ur facts right haters.

Rossonero: Messi deserves it and no one else. This category of award goes the marketable footballer present in a world cup final match and not to the best performance in the overall tournament. An example is 2006 WC final. Zindane was not the best in that tournament but he won it. So basically, its more or less an honorary award to the best "seller" of the footballer brand on that pitch
Did u jst say zindane wasn't d best player @ 2006 world cup,dude did u watch d world cup at all? Wat of diego forlan who didn't play 2010 world final but was given the award...

chaberry: No he doesn't deserve it, i would av prefer Arjen Robben or James Rodriguez, but looking at it from different angle he solely brought his team this far... In another news Brazil (14) goals is the highest goal conceded by any team in this worldcup, making them one of the worst defends in the mundial, infact they conceded more goals than the other three semi-finalists in the tournament(12). You're hearing it 4rm me 4 d first time, Admit it

I think Spain would have given up more goals. The only thing that saved Spain is they went home early.

If that's the case then mueller should have it. He had more goals, more assist and he went the furthest. He won the damn cup.

check the quoted statistics bro. each statistic has some points attached, and are weighed accordingly. FIFA then uses the points to determine the best. tell me who else beats those numbers. and yes, its all about this particular tournament.
