Did u watch France Morocco ?? Did u watch the group games ?? Did u watch what mbappe did to Poland ... Messi was just scoring penalties while mbappe was firing goals ... Scoring a hat trick in a world cup final no b beans .. not just scoring , pulling ur team back ... Mbappe deserved the golden ball... If Messi did the same thing mbappe did and mbappe did same that Messi did , they wud have still given Messi , they will say mbappe was just scoring penalties... Mbappe had 12 goal contributions for France out of 16 goals scored by France ...only 2 penalties played... Messi on the other hand had 10 goal contributions out of the 15 goals by Argentina with 4 penalties... And he played more minutes... Mbappe deserved it
Finally you came out of your hole only to come and lie. Mbappe had 10 goals contributions and not 12 so stop with the lies and he scored 2 penalties. The only things he did better than Messi was scored more goals and had more dribble completed nothing more. Griezmann, Fernandez, Kane and Messi and any other player(s) were the top assister with 3 assists to their name so stop telling lies to win arguments or give false tongue to gain advantage as usual

Brilliant! Thanks for saving me the effort of schooling these annoying twats.

Imagine them still opening their yeye mouth to discredit a 35 year old Messi that scored a massive 2 goals in World cup final. I mean these are the same peeps that their Idolo did not even score at all in the Euro 2016 final that they used to taunt Messi for years until the GOAT shut them up by himself.
He didnt even complete the match, he was out by the mid 1st half due to injury.

I get your point. Ronaldo is great but he is not liked by majority. Fifa and people feel he is the only one that can challenge messi. I had a brilliant guy in secondary school always collecting best students award but as i joined the school it became a competition but he was mostly favoured when there was a tie and because he did not come from a well to do home which they can tag as a disadvantage or humility. I feel pity for ronaldo because he is not at his best time. if ronaldo was banging at d moment he will just ignore this messi acheivement, score like 50 goals, probably win the champions league again, showing he is still there no matter what. The funny thing about life is that no matter what people like me still take cr7 as the goat. My opinion, what do i know.
I completely agree with you, Funny enough I was telling my brother this morning that no footballer has Ronaldo’s kind of mental strength, fifa, Eufa etc they always make him feel inferior to M10 but he never gives up, imagine the Ballon D’or gap between them but he managed to catch after which the powers that be, started gifting Messi unmerited Ballon D,ors to spit CR7. They gave Ballon Dor meant for CR7 to Modric because he left Real Madrid for Juventus. Do you know that if CR7 were to contest for gold boot with 4 penalties out of 7 goals they would still castigate him by calling him penaldo but since it Messi's everyone is turning blind eye to it. Honestly the men that be in football doesn’t like him one bit, it’s really sad that he’s loved to a fault by those whose opinions don’t matter in the game.
CR7 for life.

Just shut your mouth there. Olodo, you are calling juan mata and KDB could have won ballon d'or. How many goals and assist can they show for it. How many trophies have they won. KDB is good with chances created fine, what about the goals, what about the trophies, assist. you pick only chances created as if that was the only criteria i mentioned above. oga Rest
You're a classified idiot. KDB is an assist king go check records before displaying your stupidity Ode

First I want to say congratulations to Argentina but....

Why was Messi given the best player of the tournament instead of Mbappe? Even if it was given to Messi I think it should have been shared with Mbappe! That is 2 best players of the tournament!

Someone said because Messi won the world cup.

Let me remind you all that in 2014 Germany won the world cup yet Messi who didn't win the cup still was given best player of the tournament that year.

This is the reason many people still prefer CR7 because he is not pampered like this. And all his achievements were done with so much hate from even people around.
You will live long.

Firstly, I must acknowledge that I am a Ronaldo fan and till tomorrow, I will be. The reality I acknowledged after Argentina made it past Croatia was that 'might' be Messi was a better player to Ronaldo. And even today, something deep down tells me, probably he is the real GOAT after all.

However, with all sincerity, if Argentina made it past Round 16, Quarter final and now the final, it is not because of Messi, it's because of the Goalkeeper.
I feel FIFA should have acknowledged this fact and recognize the Keeper's contributions.
Again, if we truly want to be objective, we will realize that compensating Messi in 2014 with player of the tournament even when he wasn't deserving of it and denying Mbappe similar compensation after his lawfully earned Goldenbooth amounts to double standard or speaking with both sides of your mouth.


Again, Messi might have accomplished more than CR7 and probably is even the GOAT, the fact still remains that I remain ever sympathetic to CR7 because all his awards were duly earned without pampering or unnecessary sympathy from any body. This is evident in FIFA acknowledging that XAVI should have won the 2010 Balon d or. Again, for winning Copa America while Ronaldo did not enjoy similar privilege for winning a more prestigious title in Euro. Moreover, Lewa should have won it that year.



This not withstanding, Respect should be given to whom it is due and MESSI deserves nothing but that������������������‍���‍���‍�

According to your logic Ribery should have won 2013 Balon d'or because he won the champions league,Bundesliga and a League cup, right?
Remember to 2013 Balon d'or award to Ronaldo was the most controversial balon for award in history..

Its not just about the world cup, Messi was the best player in the tournament even before the finals..

You guys no little about football, how will someone who won 2 man of the match awards win the best player ahead of the other person that got 5 man of the match award.

Man of the match is the first parameter used in awarding best player in the world cup, in 2014, Messi had the highest Man if the match award too.

When it was Messi; you downplayed penalties like it’s not an acceptable way to get goals. You mention Mbappe scoring a hat trick in the finals but refuse to highlight that two of the goals were penalties.

Guy, go take medicine. I no sure say you well.

Re: Messi Should Not Have Won Best Player Of The Tournament (opinion) by Impactech: 4:41pm On Dec 19, 2022
Op, Are you judging based on the final alone? Even with the final, Messi had a better performance than mbappe. Mbappe was not visible for the first 50-60minutes of the game now compared to Messi that was remarkable throughout the game, he creates more chances for the team, and accurately passes. Mbappe is a fantastic player no doubt but it was just his goals in the final minutes in the final that brought him to the limelight in the final. Overall without biased Messi had a better game in the world cup compared to Mbappe.
