love how the brazilians are celebrating our loss haha, yet they seem to forget we gave germany a hard time and they lost 7-1, 3-0, and ended fourth place.

What did you expect? Of course they are cheering Germany.

If instead of Brazil it was the argentine team losing 7 - 1 against Germany, argentinians would still cheer for Germany against Brazil at a WC finals. C'mon...
 
I think this World Cup was the best I've seen, Italia 90 was special too as it's the first I remember and USA 94 was also pretty cool as the stadiums and fans were awesome.

Regarding international competitions, it comes a close second to Euro 2008 in terms of quality games.
 
They're crying out for a creative midfielder though. Like I said above, Messi is expected to create and finish almost every attack because no one else in the team is capable of that.

Yep.

Argentina 8 goals this world cup.

Messi scored 4.
Messi assisted 1.
Vs Bosnia The own goal was off his cross.
Vs Belgium He pressured Kompany off the ball, dribbles around a few players, then gave it to Di maria who found higuain for the goal.

1 goal with no involvement of Messi and if I remember correctly it was Rojo and his header from a corner.

If it isn't messi involved..then yeah..
 
Saying Messi carried Argentina is to discredit Mascherano and the whole Argentina defense who was simply sublime.

Messi had a great group stage and an assist against Switzerland. No more than that.

Already praised them. But, again, expected to create and finish. None of that Argentina midfield could do shit going forward. Di Maria was fucking crap most of the tournament, especially the goal he scored the winner in. Aguero the same. Both also got injured. Without them, all the impetus going forward falls on one man, who is expected to come deep and pick the ball up and then do everything by himself.

Argentina would have won if Höwedes got the red card which he totally deserved.
 
It was funny watching this thread when Messi was getting that award. Everyone here was slamming that decision, completely against it even though he either scored or was involved in almost every goal Argentina got this World Cup.

But there was one person that clearly wanted that award even less than any of you wanted him to get it, and that was Messi.

He looked humiliated. If the earth could have opened up and swallowed him whole, he would have been grateful.
 
Haha, James not even top 3. Muller gets the Silver Ball, and Robben gets Bronze.

Think I'd go with Robben as player of the tournament, James 2nd, Neuer or Mascherano (best player of semis/final) 3rd. Wasn't as conclusive as previous years though.
