Messi player of the tournament?

 

Really?

 

I can only assume it's because he was there

Surely Muller would've been a good bet?

Player of the tournament? You are having a laugh.

 

Rodriguez, Muller, Hummels, Robben all better.

I suppose the justification for Messi getting it is that without him Argentina would have had a succession of no scoring draws.

Neuer gets Golden Gloves? Surely Tim Howard.

 

Don't agree. I think Neuer had the better tournament.

 

Let's no forget, in the pinnacle of Howard's tournament, he still conceded twice...

What Utter nonsense. No wonder Jimmy isn't there to collect the golden boot.

Agreed on this.

 

Neuer absolutely deserving of this. However other finalists were Romero and Navas, not even including Ochoa or Howard. No trouble with Navas, but Romero over Ochoa and Howard?!?

For me, he had a good tournament, although hasn't shone in last couple of games.

 

Others had better tournaments, though, in my opinion. Mueller, James, Mascherano, Robben off top of my head.

 

Was expecting Neymar to get it as a sympathy vote...

Agreed, no way Messi. Rodriguez for me, he was the player who truly announced himself at this World Cup. Messi disappointed when he could have secured the trophy for Argentina.

Romero had a few shut outs, and a decisive role in a shoot out victory.

 

I'd place that ahead of Howard's tournament.

Deserved it. Not an unlikeable player in that lot. Maybe Muller. :D

Lovely goal by Gotze. Absolutely detest the writhing around in added time by pig climber. I realize that probably makes me not a proper football fan. Still hate it.

 

:cornette:

 

They practically kicked him off the park.

They can try and talk up Messi's tournament all they want, but he was disappointing. If it wasn't Lionel Messi, he would never have won. Did absolutely nothing in the knock out stages aside from set up a goal for Di Maria.

 

Compare that to Neuer, Rodriguez, Muller, Kroos, Hummels, Robben etc who were consistently superb for their teams.

He wasn't exactly unknown to the football world though. He's a player who has already had a ?30m+ transfer.

In fact that's who I forgot. Kroos. He deserved it, over the tournament, I reckon.

 

Never really seen much of him before. He's a superb player.

Not sure if Messi deserves the Golden Ball tbh.

 

 

I am sure!

 

He doesn't.

Those montages always make me really sad that the event is over.

 

Me too. Feels like the summer is over.

 

On to next season now. Onwards and upwards for the jambos!!

Germany played the best football in the tournament. In patches. Not great champions for me, too many average performances and deeply unconvincing defence

Cannot believe some even mentioned Messi in a sentence with Pele or Maradona.

 

Messi is a world class player but not in that elite class.

28 years now since the losing team scored in a World Cup final.

 

France scored and lost in 06?

:) Aye ok.

 

Smashed the hosts, smashed Portugal, disposed of a very good French side, hardly conceded a goal.

 

Just average though eh?
