Let's be real. If Mbappe did what Messi did and Messi did what Mbappe did and the outcome of the world cup remains the same, it would still go to Messi because there is kinda a bias towards him. We all know that.

Mbappe deserves it but nothing wey you won talk Messi fans no go gree. So save yourself the stress.



Mbape was missing in action (not active) in the last two games before the final.

Against England Walker kept him quite. Against Morocco, Hakimi pocketed him. He only has one or two moments in those matches.

Messi on the other hand was in action (active) in all the matches.
Currently, Mbape is better than Messi due to his younger status. But for that award, if you watch all the matches (not just the final) you will know Messi deserve it more.

I agree with you. Mordric won best player in 2018 world cup.
Fifa just like many organizations are for making money. Messi is a good player with many fans and endorsement. Fifa need messi and other star players in the last 4. Small country can never win world cup.

Population, fans, endorsement and adverts are source of income for fifa. Brazil didn't do well against croatia and later would likely lost to Argentina in the Semifinal. Portugal didn't do well against morocco. Fifa didn't manipulate that because Morocco stands for Arabs, Africans and Islamic world. Of course, Ronaldo also has a huge fans. Brazil v argentina semi-final would have been an historical game with many eyes watching it. Either Brazil or Argentina at the semifinal was a good deal for Fifa with either of them facing france or portugal at final.

Subtle manipulations were done to ensure Argentina gets to final. Early penalties in the most Argentina games unsettled vibrant opponent- Netherlands, Croatia and France.

I can say messi effort, fifa manipulation and luck helped Argentina. It is like that in the most life achievement.

Corruption has overtaken the entire world.


After reading all these nonsense from you, I have to shake my head sadly because I now know that I share this wonderful planet earth with people with no brain at all.

You're talking trash. Messi and Ronaldo dominated world best awards since 2007 since kaka won it because of their goals. If chances created and assists are the main parameters used, kDB and Juan mata would have won ballon d'or

Modric 2018 ballon dor was not because of his goals.

Good opinion. Messi has won the world cup and is the player of the tournament for the second time. Does he deserve it? Yes! Does Mbappe deserve it? Yes. Once you make an opinion and bring Ronaldo into it then it will be seen as mere envy and not logical. Learn to be objective in your criticism without unhealthy comparison.

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.

The funny part is that the op could not give a reason why Messi do not merit it.

First point
Messi was involved in all matches either in goals,assist,both or in game control. But mbappé can't claim this point.

Second point
Argentina was not even the best team nor the favourite to win this competition but one Man was exceptional in the team which is Lionel Messi.

Third point
Remove Messi from the Argentina team and their journey will end at the group stage, but remove mbappé that will not happen. Although mbappé is very vital for France but Messi is more important when you compare this two and their teams.

Forth point
They both turn up when they're needed the most but if you've been watching the game from group stage, Lionel Messi is the reason people don't laugh at Argentina, so he takes this point too.

Fifth point
If you play absolutely well and reliable in the competition and carry your team from the group stage to the final, even if you end up losing in the final, you might end up winning the golden ball like Messi in 2014

Sixth point
If you carry your team from the beginning and you win the world cup there is no way you're not winning the golden Ball.

I can go on and on.
Messi is just brilliant.

I no longer take football serious now a days, everything about the beautiful game has been politicised, a few decide for the majority. The game is no longer neutral, sides are now being taken by those in charge..... The same messi was given best player in the world 2times when he never deserved 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

When you see person wey know about football e nor dey hard to know. Greetings brother.

When we talk. It ll be like as if we hate Messi. On record without pampering, Messi has just 6 ballon dors. Anybody can contest it. The fact has been said. So many formats where changed to favour him. He has talent and he's being protected by FIFA. In fact, the world cup format was programmed that the final should be btw Argentina and Portugal

It's like the opp only watch today's final. Let me ask you a question. Between Mpape and Messi, who has carried their team from match day one the most. Or should i also remind you of the number of assist Messi has in this world cup. What about Chances created.

The problem with penaldo fans is that they think football is all about goals. that Is why you keep seeing cr7 fans bringing some stupid stats like "more headed goals, more right footed goal more left footed goals. Haba now.

Messi more than deserve the best player award.
Fact is, the award for player of the tournament should go to the most consistent player. Mbappe was silenced in both the quarter-final and semi-final matches (if you have other views on his role in both matches then you probably didn't watch the entire matches).
Messi was consistent all through, If you claim he scored pks, be reminded that he gave man of the match deserving assists in the quarter and semi final matches (again, if you have a different opinion, it's probably because you didn't watch the entire matches live). Was involved in the DiMaria goal with the pass that opened up the French defence. He was the best player of this Tournament and people should learn to acknowledge facts.

Exactly the point but Messi fans will come here to abuse and talk trash. People still prefer CR7 because this is a man who worked hard to achieve his career without help from FIFA or officials, and the hatred never pulls him down. Yes Messi is iconic but the pampering gives him a leverage over others. Imagine giving him best player of tournament because he won the cup despite Mbappe’s shine. Even if Messi didn’t win the cup they will still reserve that award for him.

There are millions of football lovers around the world, I mean genuine fans not one sided ones who cannot see a fixed worldcup because it favors their favorite player.

Ronaldo is the most followed person on earth on social media, so your argument isn’t great in that sense. But true, Football is all about money and the politics that comes with it.

If this worldcup tilted towards Portugal and Ronaldo, I am sure Messi fans will be cry babies all over. The World Cup was flawed right from the start and people like us who knew early didn’t scream. The politics in football has taken over the round leather game!


Stop blabbing shit with your deluded and ignorant programmed mindset you gat. You think you are smart and you know shit but you just living in your world and fooling yourself with animations and objects you create from your comfort zone to justify the sentiments you already installed in yourself.

Zidane won the golden ball in 2006, he was given the award in the semifinal.

Besides, in 2006 world cup, Zidane almost won golden ball if not for the headbutting incident. Almost everyone wanted Zidane to win it, if Zidane was almost won the golden ball, and Canavaro won it can you please tell me what Zidane did differently in French team other than controlling the game in the midfield.

If you want to win, do it honourably.

I have always disliked Messi because of the football fraud they do for him, right from his Barcelona days when they rigged so many matches for him including that PSG win which the referee was demoted after several complaints.

This Worldcup is not an exception, the fraud was so much, I don't know who is better amongst Ronaldo and Messi but I always use Ronaldo to motivate myself, he's an Underdog.

Can you list the fraud they did for Messi and the reason Mbappe should have be crowned the player of the tournament?
