lol maybe they gave it to him cuz he was there. after single handedly dragging argentina through the group stages he didn't to much from there on out when it mattered. should have gone to either rodruigez, muller or maybe even robben.

apparently it was due to his sponsorship with Adidas. Adidas is the 1 who sponsors the award as well as sponsoring Messi

Blatter is such a corrupt old dude....I'm stunned that after the Qatar bid controversy that they don't throw that dude out

cryptocap · 07-13-14, 05:44 PM

The public doesn't care much for Blatter, but the people inside FIFA absolutely love him. Not sure why, as I am on your side, but FIFA thinks thinks the guy is the shit and wants him to run for presidential re-election despite his promise not to.

James Rodriguez deserved the award not even a question,he was incredible in this WC.

pavyracer · 07-13-14, 08:20 PM

It's all about marketing. How did Kevin Durant do in the playoffs when they gave him the MVP? Tony Parker should have won it.

Messi won Golden Ball?

but higuain fuked argentina in the ass, fuking loser should have scored, so that little trophy means nothing
ronaldo is te big winner, people cant say messi is better because he won the world cup thx to his teammate higuain

Give it to him. Let him cry with it at night.

kaliboyz · 07-13-14, 10:12 PM

i don't really understand how Messi get awarded the GOLDEN BALL, LoL.

Cuse0323 · 07-13-14, 10:22 PM

Wasn't even close to the best player.

Messi didn't look happy about winning it. Guy is a team player, would've traded all his individual trophies for the grand finale win.

Good to see ya, happy 15K.

I do feel bad for Messi, he would trade it all for a WC.

Ronaldo is much more selfish, he would've been content with the Golden Ball even being on the losing side.

Thanks, 15K was actually many months ago, must've had posts removed somehow. I haven't been around much lately.

Messi is the best player of all time....not

It was more of the timing the award was given. After a loss you just want to go home..not getting awards and celebrating.

oldscho0led · 07-14-14, 07:48 AM

Not even Argentina's best player since KO stages. Mueller/Kroos were better.
