World Cup Golden Ball

Who is your player of the tournament?

Mine would have to be Mascherano, I personally believe he has been the glue in the Argentinian side, and his defensive side of the game is just world class. He keeps things simple yet effective, has the presence/aura when he plays and is extremely commanding.

Always thought he was the best defensive midfielder in world football, and personally, I feel he has been wasted at Barca since he joined them. It's nice to see him get the recognition he deserves.

Mine would have to be Mascherano,

YES,YES,YES.   

David Luiz    

But seriously, I think probably Sanchez who carried Chile

James Rodriguez.

Didn't realise how good he was until I watched him in this World Cup.

Can't believe Messi won it, thought Masch  or Muller for sure.

Messi never player of the tournament

We were shouting conspiracy here when that decision was announced!

Qatari F***ing hostesses behind Blatter, who sponsor Barca who feature Messi predominantly in their ads!!

The little F***ing munchkin should hand it over to his teammate Mascherano, who for me was the player of the tournament.

Complete farce that Messi won that.

Qatar. F***ing Qatar again. bas**rds.

Don't know how he won that, shouldn't even be on the shortlist IMO. James Rodriguez for me or any one from Lahm, Schweinsteiger and Muller.

Who votes for it? FIFA?

Good point that.

Masch for me too.

Disgraceful that Messi got that.
Wasn't even the best player for Argentina.

Mascherano was F***ing boss.
Should just walk up, look Messi in the eye, and say "we both know this is mine".

Are we all saying FIFA is corrupt? Surely not! 

Horrendous decision. I understand Messi created the most chances all tournament, but you can't compare his World Cup to the ones James Rodriguez, Javier Mascherano, Thomas Muller, and even Manuel Neuer had. FIFA is such a F***ing joke.

Crazy decision but remember, at one point, David Luiz was the front runner for this accolade... or was that the Golden Ball-bag?

Forgot how much you loved Luiz Mouse.

Robben by a country mile. Never Messi who went missing after the group stages where he shined against some of the worlds best teams

FIFA is whats wrong with the game. If i were messi id told them thanks but no thanks and mail it to Robben

Agreed. FIFA and the Media treat Messi like the second coming of Christ, even when he doesn't perform to his high standards.

Robben should have won it IMO. 

Mascherano, seriously? Before the semifinal, his name wasn't mentioned not even once as one of the best players in the competition.

Wouldn't have given it to Messi either, for me it should be between Muller, Robben or maybe even James.

Fred for mine for his great work ethic

You are gonna give Diego a heart attack, lmfao.

Serioiusly, i remember vividly every single Brazil since 1989, and i have to say this might have been the worst of them all. Even when Neymar was playing they didnt seem "Brazilian", if that makes any sense. Very very poor.

Same goes for Argentina, scrapping results, even in the group stages.

Germany was the best team, and i have to say France impressed me.

The USA are on the rise, played some nice football.
