Messi was decisive for his team in four matches chewy. Why have alexis ahead of him?

as far as honorable mentions go I thought Besic from Bosnia looked a really tidy holding midfielder …he’s only 21…

Neuer[/QUOTE]
Votes are before the final finishes.

Surprised Neuer didn’t get a mention for the main award. Think Muller and Robben are the front runners though.

Who votes for this? Would be happy to see muller win it.

I think a goalkeeper would have to be extraordinarily brilliant to win

Neuer

Johnson
Vlaar
Demichelis
Rodriguez

Kroos
Mascherano

James Rodriguez
Messi
Robben

Muller

Messi has been shit in the knockout stages.

No he was shit against Holland but good in the other two games. And I just checked and you have Di Maria in your team :smiley: And you’ve picked three lads that didn’t even get to the knockouts :smiley:

What’s wrong that they didn’t play in the knockout?

Di Maria has been the Argies best player. Messi was shit against Belgium and Switzerland.

Against Switzerland Di Maria was battling it out with Higuain for the honour of being the worst player on the pitch. He got a goal due to Messi laying it on a plate for him. Didn’t see the Belgium game but I doubt Messi was shit, I saw a video of one outstanding pass of his and one outstanding dribble by him

He was shit
