Hahaha. Messi the best player my ass..

Messi gets the golden ball? What the fuck is this?

Messi winning the Golden Ball is like when Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Messi can suck Pele's and Maradonna's dick. He was invisible for most of the tournament other than a few moments of magic.

Golden ball?! James and Robben were WAY better.

Uh... I'm gonna take the controversial position and say that this was his biggest goal AND the one that meant the most to him.

Obviously!

But at the club level, I do disagree.

Perfectly said.

For just one second, it seemed like the German players were clapping for Messi as he was walking towards them with the golden ball in his hand.

It turned out, they were just clapping for the entire Argentine team.

 

[Back Door Skip]

I will agree and say Messi getting the Golden Ball is a fucking joke. Even Neymar deserved it more.

 

[newbie original]

Okay, time to start the speculation.

If Angel di Maria was available, I think Argentina might have won this.

 

[Filipower]

Even Messi was kind of "for real?"

 

[newbie original]

Hold on hold on....

Isn't LAhm the captain? Whye is Schweinsteiger the first to receive the medal?

 

[Mandieta6]

Captain goes last.

 

[newbie original]

why is platini there?

 

[Mandieta6]

Such a shame that guys like Reus and Schmelzer and Bender don't get a medal but they can always lift it in Russia.

Was Gotze holding a Reus shirt?

I thought that Germany weren't quite strong enough to make it all the way, as they seemed a bit too young before the tournament started. But they also had the best "team" mentality/chemistry out of all the favourites. They will eclipse Spain's 3 tournaments (2 EUROs and 1 WC) & I see them taking out 2016 and 2018 too (2 WCs & 1 EURO).

Would be a nice gesture.

If they can find a left back and a striker, it's going to be very tough to beat them. Especially if Neuer keeps getting better, because that man is a fucking brick wall right now and allows Germany to press like in AvB's dreams. I'm not sure those questions will be solved by 2016, but certainly they should be able to find a striker by 2018.

He did. He draped it on the Champions billboard thing.

can't see that happening. The way they play is high-risk high-reward. Either it works against all their opponents (hard to do, as Ger-Arg 2014 showed) or they lose 2-0 to Italy in the SF.

Spain or Italy are capable of stopping them.

Pfff.. I wanted Argentina to win and Messi finally lift the trophy, but it wasn't meant to be. It was a good World Cup and at least i'm proud of Holland finishing 3rd. :P
