Why did Messi win the the Award?

[Nick Young]

IF Messi had Higuain and Aguero show up he would have like 3 or 4 more assists. Di Maria going out hurt him bigtime... only player that could keep up with him. Their link up play was amazing in the group stage.

what about 6 goals James Rodriguez? What about Muller who scored more and actually won? This is the most undeserved trophy ever.

People new to football will be watching it and seeing the World Cup's "best player" diving all over the place. What kind of example is that? He played amazing against Spain, I'll give him that, but after all that, he just had a few good and then a few quiet games.

Dont care that much about these Awards, but the lad didnt do anything in the Knock out games. 0 goals.

FIFA is a disgrace.

I think that's called pulling off a Rooney, mate

dont remember any player that was out in the 1/4 winning the golden ball.. no matter how good he was.. and james wasnt really at his best against brazil either.. muller didnt really do much in the knockout stage either.. no show in the final.. if you wanna pick a german, you look at hummels or neuer

Neymar > all

Muller deserved it: 5 goals + an essential part in Germany's tactics.

Why do people on this board overrate Robben so much? He's a diving ****. Messi carried his team to the finals, he deserved it.

Messi carried his team out of the group stage, not into the finals..

He was a no show once the K.O stages began.

to please the sponsors

It was an Adidas award. Notice the big ass logo.

Sure.
Except Robben, Muller, Hummels, Lahm and pretty much any other credible candidate are all adidas testimonials as well.

I won't say the Muller that shouldn't have gotten it... but I have no problem with Messi getting it.
