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.

See, the simple difference between Messi (The Goat) and CR7 is that Messi is Talented, while CR7 is hardworking.

For marketing purpose. Messi is the most marketable player in football. Imagine if Argentina had crashed out, so many Messi fans would have left qatar.

It's all about the money. Fifa is no different from nigerian politicians.

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.

So Ronaldo is froma poor home and Messi is from a rich home according to your analysis ?

Best player of the tournament is not decided based on the World Cup final alone, Mbappe was no where to be found in France vs England match but Messi was instrumental in Argentina's 3-0 win over Croatia. Messi has been there for his team in every match through out this tournament, his dramatic goal of the tournament opener against Mexico ensured Argentina's World Cup dream was not over even before it got started after their shock 2-1 loss to Saudi in the first match. So Messi deserved that best player of the tournament title but that is not to say the Mbappe's heroic showing in the final will not be something to talk about for years and decades to come.

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������������������‍���‍���‍�

Stop this nonsense.. Ronaldo worn a world footballer of the year after playing playoff against Sweden, fifa reopen a closed voting system to accommodate it.. Question is did he not play qualifiers? Are there no teams that qualified for the world cup directly without playoffs, why don't fifa do say for others? Same when ribery won every Ronaldo took the balon for.. Ronaldo is the one pampered. He was bought billion of pounds of players by his side in real Madrid, who did Messi play with? Pedro, gomes, affelay etc.. If it was Madrid who lucky got Messi, and Ronaldo was in barca, I swear he won't see 1 balon dor.. Because Perez will buy every player to support his greatness.. Yet Messi won more golden boots, balon dor etc.. You say he is pampered.. Oga the spirit of CR7 foolishness is still hovering around you, you have banish most but small still remain but you are better than the others with the Legion.

Winning the world cup is more than enough for Messi tbh! Guy wouldn't even have been bothered whether he won that award or not.

Mbappe should have been given best player award alongside the Golden boot!

Well, what's done is done... No point arguing this.

This is Messi's last world cup... Mbappe should keep working on his craft. Glorious days are ahead for him.

He, Haaland, Foden, and others are the current stars to keep the game flying!

chief... did you really watch the game from the beginning? Mbappe did amazingly great. But Messi is just out of the world. Take an example the match between Morocco and France, Mbappe was totally swallowed in the match. But check each of Messi's games.. I understand and respect your stand, but out of the two outstanding men, the winners produced a more outstanding winner. The goat will now retire as he accomplishes his lifetime dream.

No! You Messi fanatics can't deceive the whole world. grin cheesy
Even Messi fans are saying Mbappe deserves the best player of the tournament's award but the fanatics are just not having it.

It’s not like Mbappe was all round better than Messi. Mbappe 8goals 2assists. Messi 7goals and 3assists. Just like he was instrumental in their run to the final, so was Messi.

Messi was pulling the strings with defense splitting passes, playmaking and also scoring to secure their qualification to the next round.

The 2 best player in the World Cup made it to the final. In this case, whoever wins the tournament should be crowned best. You obviously don’t know how it works. Germany had no exceptional player in their team that year.

Do you think Messi would have won golden ball if Germany had an outstanding player like James Rodriguez?

Messi was outstanding in 2014. He was individually better than all German players. The only person that would have stopped Messi from winning 2014 golden ball was James Rodriguez but unfortunately, they knocked Columbia out in the quarter finals. When they robbed Ribery to crown him world best in 2013, he wasn’t pampered.

When they robbed Juventus in the champions against Madrid, he wasn’t pampered.

When he scored offside against Bayern & ATM, he wasn’t pampered.

Once Messi win anything, una go look for excuse. This shit is stale already…….Messi won Balon D’or, he was pampered. He won European Golden Boot, he was pampered, he won Copa America, pampered
Again, he won UCL, still pampered.

When it became clear, he was leading Argentina to the trophy, you guys started with this emotional blackmail cos Portugal was out.

Can you guys just take your time to watch Messi’s and contributions for once?

At 35, he was running the show for his country and competing with a 23years old electric and energetic Mbappe.

These are the records he broke and set in this World Cup yet you still think he doesn’t deserve golden ball

first and only player to score in all knock out games.

First and only player to score and assist in 3 World Cup games.

Most goal contribution in World Cup history

Most MOTM in World Cup history.

Give the guy some credit biko


Wotoporiously cool speaking

Aboli no waste your saliva for this penaldo fans abeg, they will never see football in general, na only Ronaldo concern them so needless arguing with them...bunch of hypocrites

Let them keep crying, their tears is like thick tea I use to eat my toasted sardine bread grin
