I had a dream I was watching a Barcelona match last night and Rakitic was phenomenal. :worthy:

Robben - Why is there this myth that Robben was vastly superior to Messi? He had an exceptional group stage and scored all three of his goals in the first two matches. He spent the majority of his time in the knockout rounds looking for penalties and when Argentina gave him the attention Messi...

Keylor Navas deserved the golden glove more than Neuer too but winning these awards takes into account how far they were able to take their teams. If James got past Brazil he could've been the clear golden boot and golden ball. Brazil would've been saved from the v humiliation. :lol:

I'll do Robben tomorrow as I have a lot to say.

Let's analyze the golden ball candidates. Let me know if I missed any. Neymar - Good vs Croatia but scored a penalty that never should've been. Good vs Mexico but Ochoa denied him. I didn't watch the Cameroon match. Vs Chile he wasn't his best and vs Colombia he was completely shut down by the...

I didn't think Robben was as impressive in the knockouts as people made him out to be. He didn't score(same criticism of Messi) and he spent most of his time diving.

How many of the people saying Messi didn't deserve the golden ball watched at least half of the world cup matches? I watched at least three matches of each player nominated and the only player who had a case was James and he got knocked out too early. I'll analyze more later tonight in a more...

It would be a huge slap to the haters if Messi wins a Champions League with this new look Barcelona team. People have been wanting him to prove himself with a different set of teammates. Here's his chance.

What a twat. Thankfully, nobody will really remember him as a great player in 20 years. He's the king of tap ins.

I'm heartbroken that he lost today but the truth is that anyone with brains knows Germany had way more talent. Only idiots and casuals would judge Messi solely on world cups. If he takes this completely new look Barcelona to Champions League glory; he's without a shadow of a doubt the GOAT. I...

Because Messi has done so much for us and is already the best player or at least one of the best players ever depending on who you ask. I'm incredibly happy Argentina made it to the final and nobody can take that away from Messi now. However, there will be a big difference to the Messi haters...

He looked great at first and then the whole defense got worse. The Brazil defense would've looked way better with Filipe Luis instead of Marcelo and Miranda instead of David Luiz.

I'm so nervous for tomorrow. I hope so much that Messi plays the best match of his life and leads Argentina to glory. He deserves it. :worthy:

If he were one of the best players in the world he'd finish the chances he creates himself instead of diving for free kicks/penalties.

So there are only two arguments left against Messi that people can use without sounding like a complete fool. 1. Messi needs to win a world cup. He has his chance on Sunday. 2. He has only ever proven himself on a phenomenal Barcelona. I did some research and if Xavi leaves, the only...

So what assist records can Messi break now that we have Suarez?

He's a fantastically talented player but dives way too much. People were drooling over him and I said it after the groups that he'd become way less effective when denied space(happens to everyone but he needs space more than some other players) and Argentina didn't give him an inch until the end...

Amazing how he's stepped up. I read an article just before the world cup talking about average players playing great to help their teams and Demichelis and a few others have done it. Masch is very good but this match he played like the best DM in the world. :worthy:

He had some great moments but both teams did amazing defending as units. He needs to play like it's his last game ever on Sunday. Also, what a difference Biglia and Demichelis have made in solidifying Argentina's defense, huh?

No matter what happens today, Messi is the goat for me and I'll defend him to the end. Having said that, he could cement himself as the best ever with a great performance and win today and put himself one win away from silencing even the most passionate Messi critics. It's sad that the next two...
