No, actually we're not getting anywhere.

Again,we are talking best individual player performance here, not how much somebody made somebody else magically play better.

Well we've removed Kahn, so that is progress.

Did you ever play football?
I use to, and in one of my last seasons, I was a CB and my team captain. I had this GK who was piss poor, couldn't stop a shot and couldn't kick a ball properly to save him. my defence and I knew this, we adapted our game around this, and I would clear anything and everything regardless of whether my GK made a call to get it or not. Then, about 5 games into the season, we got a new GK, a very good one, one I had played with before a knew well.

He was great with his feet and a fantastic shot stopper. The confidence he brought to my defence and myself was incredible, and because of it, we all played better, which meant we conceded less goals. Not because he was saving everything the other GK couldn't save but because the entire defence was playing better with the knowledge that we've got a good GK to back us up if we made a mistake.

All the parents could see this change, and more than once told us about it.

Now, let me ask you this, surely, as an educated football fan, you would be able to see a similar change from the influence of one player?

And if you can see it, surely, whoever votes on these awards can see it, therefore, surely, this has an effect on the winner?

So somebody better made you have more confidence? Are you for real? It's not that the other player made you play better, it's the fact that you were hampered by the other player. Players are their own personal people, they all have different behavior, it's not like some guy from nowhere will make everyone automatically better than they are. Surely if you've played football, you understand that it's not other people who's supposed to magically make you play better, it's the tactics which is supposed to make team function better? Again we are not talking team edge here, we're talking individual edge here.

What we do know that no player in history has affected other teams tactics as much as Messi, and who had to sacrifice their own game more.

I feel that Robben was the best player in the world cup. Lionel Messi was the second best after Robben.

Why? Robben scored less, created less, dribbled less, defended less, wasn't as important, as marked, and had more space and time than Messi?

I just feel that Robben performed better within the parameters of the system laid down by Louis van Gaal. Lionel Messi looked lethargic in a lot of games. Robben worked hard and ran a lot and worked harder for us while Lionel Messi was walking about the pitch lackadaisically when Argentina were dispossessed.

Lets face it, these awards are given to certain players based on percieved clutchness (especially in big games), not some meaningless statistics no one cares about. And lol at comparing ronaldo 98/02 zidane 06 and maradona 86 to messi 2014..just give up already, if anything, messi is the only controversial winner here.

Feel has nothing to do it. If you can't argue why it was better directly then you don't have rational argument.

Funny thing you say Robben was working harder when team were dispossessed. Messi had 11 tackles and 2 interceptions to Robben's 2 tackles and 1 interception.

As shown here, example Ronaldo 98 and Romario 94 are not even remotely close Messi 14 in overall performance.

Fanboys will always badmouth no matter what, but what I can do is to show how ignorant they really are. Because truth is always in my side.

Messi 14 and Maradona 86 are rather similar performance's, where as Maradona provided more perceived quality, he had more space and time to do so. Both however are well beyond Pele 70.

Current ranking based on provided relative statistic, importance and performance comparison:

1. Maradona 86/Messi 14
3. Romario 94
4. Pele 70
5. Ronaldo 98

That's what it is, excitement, because Robben excites you, it clouds your judgement and you feel it's better. That's how most football fans base their rankings, how it made them feel. Again, feel has nothing to do with judging quality. Quality is something that can be directly and rationally evaluated from concrete evidence, videos, statistics and so on.
