Golden Ball and other WC Awards

Cannavaro clearly deserved Golden Ball in 2006 not Zidane.

Also, who says Messi had a bad tourney. He did what was expected of him.

What about how Messi ghosted against Switzerland ALL game and then provided an assist but was apparently the hero of that match. The rest of the knockouts Messi was nonexistent.

Hames was the best player in the group stages in the tourney. Hames was once against the stand out player of the round of 16 by demolishing Uruguay.

WTF does pressure have to do with this award? Hames was the outstanding player of this tournament, why does anything else have to matter?

And he only scored 1 from the penalty spot you dweeb.

Lol, what's more funny is that u seem to believe yourself.

who are you again?

I'm sure you wouldn't understand any of the reasons above as you just learned that football even existed (sorry I should say soccer, shouldn't I?). Go back to watching baseball and let the adults continue the discussion.

James terrorized Brazil defence actually. In the second half everytime he got the ball Colombia looked manacing. Especially the later parts of the 2nd half.

Aside the fact, that i mentioned 2 penalties which i was wrong in,i believe i was giving my own opinion,just like everyone else..First you cal me a dweeb, now you're insinuating that I'm an American, when u don't even have a clue where I'm from, now u suggest I know nothing about football cause I didn't agree with you? Or do you think being a keyboard warrior would make anyone see your point of reason? Smh. You seem to have an issue with confidence and self assertion. Anyway, I wouldn't argue with u on this issue anymore. My opinion still stands not withstanding,(that neuer was player of the tournament and that James was nowhere near the top 3 of that award). Of course,I expect you (the football expert) to rain abuses on me after this, just like you know how.

Regardless of we think should have won we can all agree that Messi winning it was a joke.

I don't agree that it's a joke.

I second your statement. I wonder how these things are done tbh. Blatter and maradona even expressed amazement at the result..IMO neuer should be no 1, robben should be 2 and messi/Muller should be the third. But then again, who are we to judge who and who shouldn't be given
