So odd for Messi to get this.
Was that presentation to remind us this is the FIFA wc?

yeah IK i don't want to put a positive spin on a subpar tournament performance. but there is something infuriatingly gleeful in a lot of the Messi criticism, not just at this tournament but at any moment in his career when he's less than single-handedly dominating every game he plays. i dunno if it's resentment or what exactly but there's a section of press and public that yearns to see him fail, even when his failings outweigh most players' successes

think James Rodriguez has entertained me most this tournament, hard to give best player to somebody who didn't make the final maybe but then Germany must have stronger candidates than Messi
― Daphnis Celesta, Sunday, 13 July 2014 22:00 (ten years ago) link
They couldn't give the golden ball to a player who's already back home, I guess?

Interesting both trophies are sponsored by Adidas, with the massive logo all over the glove. Wonder what would've happened if someone off-brand had won.
And the moment this German side has dreamed of all its lives will be soundtracked by... Calvin Harris.

Lets all stay strong on this...Messi is the best player in the last 20 years etc. he's done more than enough, given us lots of joy, its hardly awful that he has not won it (although it is, but this is a good German side too)
Cruyff didn't. Lots of great players don't.
The Maradona-Pele-Messi debate was a silly crappy debate I don't want to see being trotted out outside of a pub. I would only compare with players within the last 20 years worth like Zidane...frankly I'm relieved we saw him in a final. It wasn't looking good after what happened four years ago and the injury hit season last year.
