LesbianBoy: I agree with you. Mordric won best player in 2018 world cup. Fifa just like many organizations are for making money. Messi is a good player with many fans and endorsement. Fifa need messi and other star players in the last 4. Small country can never win world cup. Population, fans, endorsement and adverts are source of income for fifa. Brazil didn't do well against croatia and later would likely lost to Argentina in the Semifinal. Portugal didn't do well against morocco. Fifa didn't manipulate that because Morocco stands for Arabs, Africans and Islamic world. Of course, Ronaldo also has a huge fans. Brazil v argentina semi-final would have been an historical game with many eyes watching it. Either Brazil or Argentina at the semifinal was a good deal for Fifa with either of them facing france or portugal at final. Subtle manipulations were done to ensure Argentina gets to final. Early penalties in the most Argentina games unsettled vibrant opponent- Netherlands, Croatia and France. I can say messi effort, fifa manipulation and luck helped Argentina. It is like that in the most life achievement. Corruption has overtaken the entire world. 5 Likes 1 Share |

LesbianBoy:It’s not like Mbappe was all round better than Messi. Mbappe 8goals 2assists. Messi 7goals and 3assists. Just like he was instrumental in their run to the final, so was Messi. Messi was pulling the strings with defense splitting passes, playmaking and also scoring to secure their qualification to the next round. The 2 best player in the World Cup made it to the final. In this case, whoever wins the tournament should be crowned best. Someone said because Messi won the world cupYou obviously don’t know how it works. Germany had no exceptional player in their team that year. Do you think Messi would have won golden ball if Germany had an outstanding player like James Rodriguez? Messi was outstanding in 2014. He was individually better than all German players. The only person that would have stopped Messi from winning 2014 golden ball was James Rodriguez but unfortunately, they knocked Columbia out in the quarter finals. When they robbed Ribery to crown him world best in 2013, he wasn’t pampered. When they robbed Juventus in the champions against Madrid, he wasn’t pampered. When he scored offside against Bayern & ATM, he wasn’t pampered. Once Messi win anything, una go look for excuse. This shit is stale already…….Messi won Balon D’or, he was pampered. He won European Golden Boot, he was pampered, he won Copa America, pampered Again, he won UCL, still pampered. When it became clear, he was leading Argentina to the trophy, you guys started with this emotional blackmail cos Portugal was out. Can you guys just take your time to watch Messi’s and contributions for once? At 35, he was running the show for his country and competing with a 23years old electric and energetic Mbappe. These are the records he broke and set in this World Cup yet you still think he doesn’t deserve golden ball first and only player to score in all knock out games. First and only player to score and assist in 3 World Cup games. Most goal contribution in World Cup history Most MOTM in World Cup history. Give the guy some credit biko 88 Likes 14 Shares |

Messi was the best player in the competition before the final. While Griezman was rated the best in the France team before the final. So, there's no how Mbappe's masterclass in the final match can overshadow Messi's who has been the best in Qatar plus winning and scoring two vital goals. 30 Likes 4 Shares |

If you want to win, do it honourably. I have always disliked Messi because of the football fraud they do for him, right from his Barcelona days when they rigged so many matches for him including that PSG win which the referee was demoted after several complaints. This Worldcup is not an exception, the fraud was so much, I don't know who is better amongst Ronaldo and Messi but I always use Ronaldo to motivate myself, he's an Underdog. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Connected1: This is first class jealousy and hatred for Messi. Maybe you watched back of your TV all through the world cup. Messi and Ronaldo can longer be compared because the argument is no longer valid. You were among those praying for France to win but Messi and his boys humbled all of you. You people are now using fraud excuses ![]() France was awarded 2 PK in the finals una no see fraud. Oya tell us the fraud u see for the tournament ![]() Messi.......... 39 Likes 7 Shares |

LesbianBoy:highest Goalscorer is not the criteria for choosing world cup Golden Ball,this is one of the reasons I always believe you Ronaldo fans are not always the intelligent type when it comes to football matters, y'all believe football start and end with Just the goals. Davor suker of Croatia was 1998 top scorer yet Ronaldo de Lima won Golden Ball despite losing final to France.De Lima Ronaldo was 2002 highest Goalscorer and won the trophy but Golden Ball still went to Oliver Khan a Goalkeeper.miroslav klose was 2006 top scorer yet Zinedine Zidane won the Golden Ball despite the controversy in the final and ended up on losing side, Thomas Muller was 2010 top scorer yet Diego forlan won Golden Ball despite crashing out in the quarter finals,not even David Villa nor Wesley sneidjer could displace him. Who in the German Squad would you have given the Golden Ball in 2014 ahead of Messi? I guess by your logic,shurlle or gotze should have won it, Lol. Despite Mbappe brilliance in 2018 by coming back with 2 Goals against Argentina round of 16 and scoring in the final against Croatia,these couldn't make him win Golden Ball ahead of Luka Modric who didn't even do half of what Lionel Messi did in Qatar.

LesbianBoy:Kylian Mbappe scored 6 goals in the run of play and 2 penalties while Messi scored 3 goals in the run of play and 4 penalties. Yes Messi had 5 man of the match Awards but the final Man of the match award was a travesty as Kylian deserved it and that would have tied them at 4 each rather awarding it to Messi meant Mbappe had only 3 MOTM(Man of the Match) awards. Mbappe had 2 assists with no yellow card while Messi had 3 assists with a yellow card. Messi played more minutes than Mbappe in this world Cup which should add up to less efficiency than Mbappe. 3 Likes 1 Share |

LesbianBoy:Broh apart from goals mbape had nothing against messi. Messi was doing both griezman and mbape work at argentina. He created more chances had more assit helped in mildfield. While mbape teamates worked for him. Griezman was better than mbape. Mbape didnt turn up against england and morocco. Messi turned up . 21 Likes 4 Shares |

realsammie: Did u watch France Morocco ?? Did u watch the group games ?? Did u watch what mbappe did to Poland ... Messi was just scoring penalties while mbappe was firing goals ... Scoring a hat trick in a world cup final no b beans .. not just scoring , pulling ur team back ... Mbappe deserved the golden ball... If Messi did the same thing mbappe did and mbappe did same that Messi did , they wud have still given Messi , they will say mbappe was just scoring penalties... Mbappe had 12 goal contributions for France out of 16 goals scored by France ...only 2 penalties played... Messi on the other hand had 10 goal contributions out of the 15 goals by Argentina with 4 penalties... And he played more minutes... Mbappe deserved it 8 Likes 1 Share |
