ddippset: no player can win the world cup all alone. but in this tournament, messi show how a single player can drag his team almost singlehandedly. you were one of those saying at the beginning of the world cup that this argentine team are not good, belgium will knock them out, holland will knock the out and so on. then they reached the final and all of a sudden you guys remember mascherano made 1 million tackles. against iran with 10 men behind the ball and 1 min to go messi struck! against bosnia with 25 mins to go and 1 men behind the ball, messi struck! against switzerland with seconds to go and 9 men behind the ball, messi struck, against belgium with all their stars messi drew 3 defenders and laid a through pass to de maria for the only goal, against holland with all of the holland stars running from the first penalty messi stepped forward and led his team by example. even with mascherano's 1 million tackles and passes, argentina would never have crossed the quarter final.

ddippset: na wa o! you said forlan took them to the semi final, abi you nor talk am. can any body jump from first round to semi final? you go from quarter final to semi final. so stop trying to be smart- i permit you to say forlan took them to the quarter final , never say forlan took them to the semi final.

ddippset: na wa o! you said forlan took them to the semi final, abi you nor talk am. can any body jump from first round to semi final? you go from quarter final to semi final. so stop trying to be smart- i permit you to say forlan took them to the quarter final , never say forlan took them to the semi final.

rahazaqa: Reus is not from Germany.

ddippset: i said 'almost single handedly' you try to twist it to 'single handedly' lols.

ddippset: how is suarez not in the debate? you tried to mis inform that forlan took them to the semi final when it was suarez who punched out the goal that was to dump uruguay out of the world cup. you think we've forgotten?

ddippset: self denial again! you are one of those who started shouting mascherano just because he made a tackle on robben after 6 games, lol. garay great, rojo great, even demicheles great, but even a 5 month old foetus knows that without messi, argentina would make the quarter final. i will not school you on this one as well.

ddippset: wtf are you talking about?

ddippset: see who is talking incoherency! what is forlan and shudder? what is shudder. surely you dont mean sneijder! so now you want to play god by judging what is a beautiful goals and what is not? i keep telling you, your opinion is entirely yours. stop thinking you and making a lot of sense to the world.

ddippset: 'head and shoulders', 'head and shoulders', 'head and shoulders'. these words only exist in your imagination. if there was anything like head and shoulders then one man will get 100% of the votes. there are 5 top contestant and each had a case, each had pros and cons. drop this your head and shoulders for one side abegi!

ddippset: never in my life have i seen or heard of a player still being criticised after getting to the world cup final. out of 32 teams (whether you play sweet or ugly), you make it to the top 2, and still being down rated. this is sad. messi took argentina almost singlehandedly to the world cup final, and they are still criticizing? man is indeed wicked!

ddippset: lie of the century! in 2010, any of sneider, iniesta, villa, muller, casillas could have beaten forlan to the golden ball, esp sneider. he was the reason uruguay reached the semi final? another majestic lie. what did he do against ghana? a suarez turned keeper was the reason uruguay reached the semi final. ( and so tell me mr know it all, who was the reason spain reached the final? who was the reason netherland reached the final? or you want to tell me now that semi final is bigger than final?)

ddippset: the essence of the world cup is not for james or anybody to come and win the best player award. the essence of the world cup is for a country to come and win the world cup trophy. getting to the quarter final is not enough.

ddippset: messi has no case? messi has no case? messi has no case? messi has no case? lwkmd. argentina's first final in 24 years! the only guy with 4 man of the match awards? 4 goals and 1 assist! highest dribbles! highest chances created! one of the best goals of the tournament! and he has no case? this is getting ridiculous.

ddippset: lemme indulge you one more time- james did not win the golden ball because his team didnt advance enough; a quarter final spot is not good enough to win you a golden ball, no player in the history of the competition has ever won it from the quarter final position. robben, lots of runs, lots of dribbles, lots of dives! messi didnt score in the knock out, robben didnt either, robben scored only 3 times, messi 4 times, robben got to semi final, messi final, robben won 2 man of match awards messi 4, robben's team got eliminated by messi's team, so how in the name of zeus' bvtthole should robben be placed above messi? muller, yes that's the guy i expected to win it only ahead of messi, maybe he didnt win because he wasnt as indispensable to his team as messi was. maybe. so do you understand now? i know you will never understand.

ddippset: you are pained! you have posted more than 100 negative comments on messi's golden ball since yesterday. you better give it up already. by next week just check wikipedia and you will always see- WORLD CUP BRAZIL 2014, GOLDEN BALL-LIONEL ANDREAS MESSI.

ddippset: This year we have messi, james, robben, neuer, muller and kroos. everyone of these 6 players has a strong case for the golden ball but only one has to win. but why is the crying so much this year? SIMPLE! because messi is involved! ever since 2009, everything has been messi or ronaldo. anything messi wins, ronaldo fans would come out in thousands crying, anything ronaldo wins, messi fans would come out in thousands crying. 90% of those crying about this golden ball to messi are ronaldo fan boys either openly or in disguise. but they will keep crying.

ddippset: good you say zidane was the stand out player, others were below par, ronaldinho and co. but that was not the situation in 2010 and 2014. in SA 2010, there were a lot of stand out players and there was controversy as well, was it to be forlan, sneider, iniesta, xavi, villa, muller and casillas. each one of these 7 players had a very strong case for the golden ball. when forlan was awarded there was a bit of grumbling i promise you. this year we have messi, james, robben, neuer, muller and kroos. everyone of these 6 players has a strong case for the golden ball but only one has to win. but why is the crying so much this year? SIMPLE! because messi is involved! ever since 2009, everything has been messi or ronaldo. anything messi wins, ronaldo fans would come out in thousands crying, anything ronaldo wins, messi fans would come out in thousands crying. 90% of those crying about this golden ball to messi are ronaldo fan boys either openly or in disguise. but they will keep crying.

sweetguy10:


If you like analyse till day after next tomorrow , Messi don collect am and ur sentimental opinions doesn't count an Inch. If you are so pained , lagos Lagoon can do you justice .

Habeyy: . stop analysing what u don't know...u said messi played well which was only in. d group stages..what about muller that scored an hatrick against Portugal and carry his form to the final or James Rodriguez that won't stop scoring from d group stage till d quarter final...probably u don't know he. also played and scored in d second. round. against Uruguay ..let ur argument be devoid of sentiment.. I believe NL is full of reasonable. people

ddippset: o yeah, you love to use examples that are so convenient for you. so when forlan won the golden ball in 2010, he was the best in what? when zidane won it in 2006 he was the best in what? when ribery won the european player of the year he was the best in what? you dont have to be best in anything, you have to be the best player. being best player doesnt stop at scoring the highest goals. it's left for the constituted panel to sit and decide. your problem is that you feel you know what is right and what is to be done! you ve got only one head, other people have got only one head as well. because you think something is right does ot make it right.

yegbamee: What best did Zidane win to be 2006 Golden ball winner?

ddippset: you again! you never tire? iam sure you didnt sleep well last nite because messi now has a world cup silver medal and a golden ball. james rodriguez did more and yet he went home in the quarter final, comparing him with messi who played in the final? so sad.

Messi plays with Lavezzi, Di Maria, Higuain, Mascherano, Zabaletta, Aguero = 4 goals and 1 assists in 7 games.

James Rodriguez plays with Teo Gutierrez, Ibarbo, Cuadrado, Jackson Martinez, Zuniga = 6 goals and 2 assists in 5 games.

ddippset: all these ronaldo fan boys sef! they are like an abused housewife who keeps coming back! 69 goals astonishing? what about 91 goals? lol. okay messi did not deserve the award, messi is not the best ever, messi is not greater than maradona. has ronaldo ever played in a world cup final? has ronaldo ever won a world cup medal? has ronaldo ever won a world cup bronze ball? no he cant. forget maradona, a new assignment for your 30 yr old ronaldo. at least this can make me sleep well at night.

pascalmilan11: Germany has d team but Argentina has messi ...remember golden ball is an individual award so dat boy deserved it

Ephemmm:


You mean Ronaldo won "peak milk thing" before getting his last award? for your information, he won it in a season when Mourhino went trophyless for the first time in his carrer. C ronaldo was not even the highest goal scorer in La liga despite Messi's injury. Check it out. In 2006, Zidane won the Golden Ball award with 3 goals(2 penalties) and 1 assist. Got a red card in the final and his team finished as runner up. So what is the big deal here?

You are so thick skulled. It was not and had nothing to do with bragging. Read the entire thread and you will understand what transpired. And yes what i reeled out is my salary (take home and all). I don't curse, i only advised you to think forward and think big. If continue to think small, you will remain a 'big' fish in a tiny bowel of water
