Messi was given to it by Blatter, there were many players already mentioned that deserved it more. Funny thing is I knew he was gonna waste that Free Kick at the last minute, he was selfish and thought only for himself there. The difference between Diego Maradonna and Messi still stands. Scoring on low quality teams in the group stage and failing to step up doesn't merit his award. Still, he had a great tournament. Congrats to him for making the final.

Get out.... 3 goals in 3 world cups. Dudes clearly not the best.
What does World Cup has to do with anything? What matters is in his club (Real Madrid) where he scored 252 goals in 246 games

This year he was clearly the best

lol... i don't give a shit , he is and that's it , deal with it.

I don't have to deal with it cause it's not true and you know that :)

Real Madrid and Barcelona are composed of the best players around the planet. If he were really "the best" he would have shown it in the World Cup , which he clearly didn't. Neymar scored 4 goals in this his first World Cup. Ronaldo has a total of 3 and he's been in 3 world cups.

No, someone like Robben, Müller, Lahm or Schweinsteiger deserved (and a few others) it more, he won because he is Messi

But honestly if it was possible I would have given it to Neuer

He deserves an award for good sportsmanship, at the very least.

Oh my god dude, he isn't used to playing with Portugal's team, he was injured, they didn't pass through the group fase and they played against ****ing Germany

By that logic Klose is the best player ever, now do you think that's true? When you're going to rate a player you're going to rate him in his usual team not in a team that aren't used to playing together

Cuz then both Messi and Ronaldo wouldn't be the best players

He played well during tournament. And he played well in first half of he finals, not on the level in Barcelona, but good. Though I think that James Rodriges deserved golden ball. :)

They should have given it to Muller in my opinion, if they wanted to give to an Argentine, then Mascherano is the choice for me he worked his very hard for them.
There were many players who had a better tournament Robben, Rodriguez, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Neuer, Kroos.
Messi was good but underwhelming, he is not on his level of 2008-2011.

I don't think you watched the same match, because he was shut down alot. Hummels and boateng handled him pretty well. Mascherano was way better than Messi, but Blatter only has eyes to one player.

OP: bullshit? no no, it's called FIFA.

Nope he didnt. I thought a lot of players played better. Personally I dont think Messi played that well. Sure he scored a few goals but if you watched the matches you would have seen how invisible he was. And whoever said if you dont get to the final you dont get it no thats not true. Last WC nobody from Spain or Holland got it.

That's FIFA being FIFA for you. Lol
Though I do respect him for playing calmly even with so much pressure on him.

Why not? Sure James scored 6 goals and all but Messi is practically the only reason why Argentina went to the final
