First I want to say congratulations to Argentina but....

Why was Messi given the best player of the tournament instead of Mbappe? Even if it was given to Messi I think it should have been shared with Mbappe! That is 2 best players of the tournament!

Someone said because Messi won the world cup

Let me remind you all that in 2014 Germany won the world cup yet Messi who didn't win the cup still was given best player of the tournament that year.

This is the reason many people still prefer CR7 because he is not pampered like this. And all his achievements were done with so much hate from even people around.

If there is any other thing more than the best player of the tournament, Messi deserved to win it. Only those who watch the final will say what you are saying here. But those who followed world cup from the beginning to the end won't say this except they are biased

MrColdsweat:
For marketing purpose. Messi is the most marketable player in football. Imagine if Argentina had crashed out, so many Messi fans would have left qatar.

It's all about the money. Fifa is no different from nigerian politicians.

you get the drill

If you concerntrate on your life like you concerntrate on this nonsense, then you will not have time fooling yourself all over the internet. Shey Messi send your Mama ni? E no send am. Shey Mbappe know your Mama ni? E no know am.

If you talk they will say you are pained. Messi is always favoured. That's why Ronaldo will always be many goat.

u are so PAINED.

Mbappe should have won.

Fearyourcreator:

What did he do in the WC 2010 to win best for the year

fear your creator

All I see is hate hate hate... Messi. Is the real goat. The case closed last night.... Pls...... Always luking for excuses to say something..

HedwigesMaduro:


So, it should have been given to Ronaldo? By the way, anyone that knows anything about football knows Messi is far ahead of Ronaldo. The only thing Ronaldo competes either him is in goal scoring. Never, ever heard of anyone comparing Maradona with Gerd Muller. Maybe Muller wasn't using hair gel and wasn't backed by the biggest PR machine in football history.

Oga it’s not always about CR7 vs Messi so stop reasoning like a skunk. U Messi fans are pathetic and see everything as fight. Ronaldo leaves in your brains free of charge.

That award belongs to Mbappe that’s what that dude is trying to say.

And if u must know those goal scoring brought CR7 to the unbeatable legend status he has today. So rest abeg.... haba!!

The trophy was given to the best player of the TOURNAMENT and not the finals or in a match
Go and watch both performances throughout the tournament and compare. You'll know who deserved it

Mrfixiit:
If Messi was in french team then, Fifa would have given him the MVP award instead of Modric. Fifa is too corrupt for my liking

Fifa is corrupt cos of messi?

oyatainer:
Ronaldo fans cannot see anything Messi did with this average team. He is the leader who at the age of 35 played and won 4 man of the match. All these are accumulated to give him Golden ball. Besides, in 2006 world cup, Zidane almost won golden ball if not for the headbutting incident. Almost everyone wanted Zidane to win it, if Zidane was almost won the golden ball, and Canavaro won it can you please tell me what Zidane did differently in French team other than controlling the game in the midfield. So now compare what he did to many unforgettable moments Messi had in this tournament. Messi ticked all the boxes, goals, assists, chance created, leadership and marketing. In fact, he deserves more than Golden ball for this tournament. Modric no play half of what Messi played in this tournament in 2018 and he won it without people's complain. Why now?

Oga Ronaldo did sameness thing with his team at almost same age during the 2018 World Cup

If you're not pained you would've use stats like assists, goal contributions, and everything that is matters in football to back up yours yeye claim . but you rather use emotions, pain, hatred,, blindness, venom , bias to judge it .

You're such a pained man

TristanX:


U can’t compare a player who’s working on his own pace without help to a player who adds favoritism to his skills. That’s what makes CR7 outstanding

You noobs would just be typing nonsense.

How does favouritism relates to skill.

Can you define favouritism and skills then tell me how they relate in a sentence.

Which kind olodo Nigerians are these

Kingcalls:


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

Both players scored from the spot bro. Just give it to Messi the guy is phenomenal. How you see his defence splitting passes my guy. What about walking thru the ocean of opponent's legs and still make a deadly pass.

Landlord97:
Evil people, so up on all the playing that Messi played he doesn't deserve the player of the tournament truly humans are insatiable, and no matter what you do not everyone would like you, congratulations though to the only known accepted and confirmed GOAT.

Just as u guys are insatiable with CR7. The man is a GOAT and u can’t take his records from him forever

Sweetplum:

When we talk. It ll be like as if we hate Messi. On record without pampering, Messi has just 6 ballon dors. Anybody can contest it. The fact has been said. So many formats where changed to favour him. He has talent and he's being protected by FIFA. In fact, the world cup format was programmed that the final should be btw Argentina and Portugal

The world cup format was programmed to be Argentina vs Brazil semifinal. Isnt that a tough test for Argentina?

I challenge you to bring stats that prove that Mbape deserved the golden ball .
I know you can never bring it but I dare you to.

Yes he carried the team. He carried them to second round and ja

Mozegee:
God bless you,i am happy there are still people who still say the truth from their inner heart. You are one of them. God knows kylian mbappe deserve that award more than Messi

Bro, I want to learn. Could you tell me why Mbappe deserved it more than Messi. Give me stats.

One thing have come to discover is people who dislike Ronaldo is mostly cause of his attitude and may be his sentimental fans but people who dislike Messi is just cause they are Ronaldo fans and Messi is Messi because I see no reason why someone will hate Messi, a guy who is quiet, not arrogant or filled with pride and just doing his thing, why on earth will someone just hate that kind of person. The truth is he is just what his haters can never b or their choice of person can't be or may be he has done harm to their various football clubs or country and even that is a satanic reason to hate someone cause somebody who gat two eyes and have been watching football should clearly see and know what is right instead of acting like babies crying for mummy's nipple

You knows little about football. The best player of the tournament must come from the winner. That is how to logically think

There is Politics in Football. So, these awards are Shit to me. But that doesn't stop me from prefering Messi to that arrogant and Selfish CR7.

Messi deserve to be the best player of the tourney based on the overall contribution

Goals n Assists
Link between defense and attack
Corner n free kicks.
MOTM won
The only role they didn't give to Messi was goal keeping.

Overall, Messi work rate is higher than that of Mbappe

Mbappe n France didn't show up yesterday until 75mins into the game.

If Mbappe couldn't win yesterday's MOTM award, then he didn't deserve best player of the tourney.

It is probably only on a funny platform like here that Messi:s unparalleled greatness elicits ridiculous questions...

The rest of the world knows that Messi stands alone in the pantheon of greatness...

Which player would be 35 but played yesterday's match like he was 22?

Which human would be able to galvanize a team filled mostly with journeymen from an embarrassing first game defeat to Saudi Arabia to surviving the erasure of a two-goal lead with less than 10 minutes of regulation time?

Which individual would still go on to score at extra time and yet muster the mental toughness to put away the all-important first spot after Mbappe had score first for France?

Messi is the GOAT. Period..

No serious pundit would further waste their time discussing this settled issue ...
