#WorldCup Golden Ball (best player) short-list: Di Maria, Hummels, Kroos, Lahm, Mascherano, Messi, Muller, Neymar, Robben, James Rodriguez.

 

Neuer should be in there, guessing they don't let keepers on the main award.

 

They do, Oli Kahn got it in 2002.

 

So he did. :thup: Seems extra daft to have left him out then.

Golden Glove innit blud.

 

Aye, know there's a separate award. Still think he should be up for the main one too though.

 

Aye I think it's a commercial thing too really. He's been great but he'd have to be a miracle worker to get both!

F'ng Germany have a semi out of form Goetze and injured Reus and they still comfortably got to the final, insane.

 

Had Germany v Argentina in the final in my bracket/cup challenge and originaly had Germany winning; Reus injury made me change it to Argies winning as I felt Di Maria, Aguero back, Messi, Higuan...fucking hell.

Rodriguez was fantastic but it's always someone from the winning team that gets it.

Apart from the last two times?

 

Cannavaro got it in 2006 no? But yeah Forlan deserved it last time though, was excellent.

Think Zidane got it and Cannavaro won the ballon D'or but I could be wrong

I cannot recall one extraordinary save from Neuer this tournament. Has been very solid and a big part of Germany's tactical deployment as a sweeper, but hardly worthy of the Golden Ball.

 

:thup: I wouldn't even give him the Golden Glove, for me the Costa Rica GK should get that.

The one from Benzema right at the death of the France game was pretty fucking legit.

Agreed. Really a testament to Germany's defense that he hasn't faced much of anything. Been solid when necessary, but not much in the way of heroics. Hasn't been needed.

He pulled off a couple of really good saves in the second half against Brazil too

Tim Howard isn't Costa Rican.

Hasn't Di Maria been really shit? Amazing season with Real but very poor in the World Cup.

One more game and that's it  :(

It's been a cracking tournament, one of the very best I can remember.

 

Hope the Germans do it, can't help but admire them.

 

Despsite them inventing it schadenfreude dictates Argentina to win hopefully. Can't see it though unfortunately.

Two games unfortunately :anguish:

 

Aye, right enough, forgot about the total unneccessary third place play off thing. LVG is right IMO, no requirement for it at all

And to wait another 4 more years will be an absolute borefest going back to the nufc/Pardew shit..and there's no guarantee the next World Cup in Russia will be as spectacular as this one. Wonderful tournament it has been.
