Lionel Messi Didn’t Deserve Golden Ball, It Was An Error – Ex-fifa Sepp Blatter by Jokerman(m): 9:49pm On Jan 24, 2023 |
Former FIFA President, Sepp Blatter has said that Lionel Messi did not deserve the Golden Ball at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. He received the Golden Ball as the FIFA Committee voted the Argentine the best player of the tournament for his eye-catching performances at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Blatter said that the former Barcelona man did not deserve the accolade. The former FIFA boss said the decision by the committee was not correct. Messi scored four goals and provided one assist in seven games as he led his nation to the final of the tournament. He was, however, unlucky, as his side lost to Germany 1-0 courtesy of an extra time strike from Mario Gotze. Messi was picked as the showpiece’s best player ahead of German international, Thomas Mueller and the Netherlands’ Arjen Robben. “Shall I be diplomatic, or shall I tell you the truth? Listen, I was myself a little bit surprised when I saw Lionel Messi coming up for best player of the tournament,” he told AS. “I think the decision was incorrect,” he added. Blatter said he was surprised when the committee presented their decision to him and told him they had only considered ten of the players who took part in the final. https://dailypost.ng/2023/01/22/world-cup-lionel-messi-didnt-deserve-golden-ball-it-was-an-error-ex-fifa-president-blatter/

Ronaldo fans have been in severe pains ever since Messi won the world cup.. You set up a technical committee who's job it is to give points and award the best player, the same committee did it's job and years later you are claiming it surprised you while the newspapers twisted it to error.. The same Ronaldo fans who claim FIFA favours him and rigs it in his favour 11 Likes 3 Shares |

Golden ball or no Golden ball, it doesn't change the fact that he's the greatest football player of all time and it doesn't change the fact that he has won the greatest trophy in football. It will take thousands of years before a single player breaks all of Messi records and I doubt if that will ever happened in this life . 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Jokerman you no go rest? You re still jerking like a freshly decapitated fowl. Between a technical committee's decision made up of more than 8 experts and that of only Sepp Blatter which do you think is more credible? Doesnt this news (if true sef) even debunk all those stup1d rumours peddled by Pendulums that the 2014 golden ball was Blatter's gift to Messi? Contenders for 2014 Golden ball were Robben, Muller and Messi. Messi had more goals and assists than Robben and got to the final so he edges out Robben (both of them had no KO goal). So that leaves Messi vs Muller and though Muller had slightly more G/A than the GOAT, he was merely part of a well oiled German team that would have won the cup without him. Argentina on the other hand wouldnt even have gotten out of the group stages without Messi's output. Quality of Messi's play at that WC also dwarfs that of Muller and only Robben had similar impact out of the three. So I'm sure that was the objective basis the Committee rightly adjudged Messi as the best. 10 years from now, you can create another thread and wail about how Messi didn't deserve the 2022 WC. The GOAT doesn't care and neither do we! 5 Likes 2 Shares |

ThierryJay:Blatter is busy creating more and more controversy for himself. By his logic, we can simply say Iniesta or Sneijder should have won Golden ball in 2010 and not Forlan. Under normal circumstance, a German player should have won 2014 Golden Ball but Germany had no stand out performer just like Spain in 2010. In 2014, James Rodriguez was the only player that would have given Messi a good run but Columbia were knocked out in the quarter finals. In 2022, Messi was all round better than every player in Qatar. He was scoring and pulling the strings for Argentina. 2 Likes 1 Share |
