zimakoalic: No,hes a good player but no he doesn't deserve the golden ball,he play nothing in this tournament.,muller,klose,neymar,Fifa have been helpin career frm day one,startin frm human growth hormone.shame on fifa for putting natural dwarf on the peak of football,messi dat barca went an borrow height for.imagine

kenex4ever: He deserves it. If he doesn't then who?
Robben is a cheat, diver and scored less goals dan him.
Muller is just one of d average german players. Scores goals but is not as dangerous as messi dat is y no special player is assigned to mark him but b4 messi could put his leg on d ball he is surrounded by 3-4 germans.
Messi single handedly dribbled 4 swiss defenders and set up dimaria to score in d knock out stage dat is y he won man of d match in dat game.
Without messi argentina wouldn't have survived d group stage but without muller germans would have won d cup.
People are just jelous dat messi played in d world cup final where as ronaldo can never play ordinary quarter final in his career. Haters will always hate.
If it was ronaldo no anu mpama willll open dis kind of thread

rozayx5: Messi haters
if not for Messi argentina would have been gone since group stage, he tried


and before people shout FIFA, the same fifa extended voting to favor cr7, so fifa is no messi lover
i should ask
[size=15pt]
DID ronaldo deserve Golden clipper? [/size]

katordidi: extension or no extension ronaldo was clear favorite 4 balon d'or, he actually won it before the extension

fredoooooo:

carry ya case go heaven

oluwamessi forever

ebullientV: T. Mueller had 5goals and 3assists couple with the fact he played very well 4 Germany in all games.

L.Messi in comparison had 4goals and an assist and didn't really sparkle after d group stage, where he'd racked goals against weaker opponents..

And he won d Golden ball? Absolute joke and bias by Fifa. In my opinion James.R, A.Robben and Mueller, even Kroos deserved it more than Messi..

The ridiculous look on his face after recieving d award, indicates he was as suprised as most of us..

vislabraye: . Mascherano was better than Messi is this WC. But wait a minute, you say the who Argentine team were lazy

naijalodge: To me its Arjen Robben,shikena...messi scored against weak teams,Nigeria,iran and bosnia...against Holand,he was no where to be found,Arjen robben ruled the whole 120 minutes or so....

jydolism:
I don't know when you people will stop been sentimental, messi is a great player and no one is disputing that fact. But the question is 'did he deserve the world cup golden ball

Anuoluwap: if mascherano was absent it wouldn't have been the same case if messi was absent. Gago, Di Maria would have substituted him. But pls can you even think of argentina without messi? Secondly, just look at the passes. Messi's passes are the most dangerous throughout the tournament but sometimes when mascherano passes it's always futile.

ebosse:
As a messi fan I've to admit robben deserve it more.. But I think FIFA based the award on importance.


Do you know that messi created the most chances (21) @ the word cup b4 the final game (against germany)?.. No other player created up to (15) in the entire tournament , you can't blame him if his teammates aren't delivering.


Take Muller( just like kreus) out of the German squad and they would have still won it.. Take Robben & J.Rodriquez out of the dutch and Colombian squad and they would have still make it to the Q.Final

Take Messi out of the Argentina Squad and they wouldn't have made it pass the group stage against the so called weaker teams.

Though I still think he should have finished 3rd behind Robben (1st) & J.Rodriquez (2nd) but saying he didn't perform its just pathetic.

thegoodjoehunt: Argentina was not a high scoring team. Argentina reached the finals because of their defence. Mascherano was the most important player. Without him, Argentina would have been knocked out long ago. So without Messi, Argentina would have made it this far. Without Mascherano, they would have been knocked out. Based on importance, Messi Prix not deserve the Golden ball.

kendrick93: robben hell no. wat critera did robben beat messi at? tell me. stop sayin rubbish abeg. james didnt make d semis nt to talk of final

kendrick93: without messi argies wouldnt hav beat iran nigeria bosnia.

thegoodjoehunt: Then Müller. Messi was not the best player at the World Cup. He was not even the best player of his team.

thegoodjoehunt: Without Mascherano, Messi's goals would not have had value. Look at the knockout stages. The 1-0 wins and the match against Netherland. Remember the Mascherano block against ROBben. Without Mascherano, Argentina would not have reached the finals. So how is a player who was not even the best of his team be the World Cup's best player?

kendrick93: messi was d best playa in argentina.. who killed naija,bosnia,iran.. give me ur evidence.. u are just being a biter ronaldo fan.. u just a ronaldo fanboy

kendrick93: lmao? take messi out i guareentee u nigeria would hav beaten dem.. u are lame. jog on
