Congrats to Germany, was the best team overall in this WC

Shout outs to Ku53v... I couldn't take that lightly as well little homie.
All Argentina needed was Tevez... they had the midfield almost entirely in the first half & for the most part of the second one... Tevez would have given the defenders hell & would have made a lotta more space for Messi & Lavezzi.

Congratz to Germany anyway... & too bad for Reus for getting injured just before the WC.

Lol at everyone saying Messi was shit. 4 goals in the group phase, one crucial assist in the 8th finals. He single handedly brought Argentina to the 1/4.

He Wasnt that great but with players like Higuain and Aguero who need 15 shoots to score once, he did great.

James should have won the award though. And for giggles sake, he did better than Cristiano but that's not saying much.

When is the Euro cup?

Euro 2016 France...

Best World Cup I've witnessed so far

If you agree or disagree with him getting the Golden Ball (like me), you can't argue with statistics

EDIT: but I think it's stupid to focus on who got the Golden Ball, whether it was deserved or not, etc. Germany won, let's celebrate/hate that and just look forward. Even Messi don't give a shit that he won.

Best World Cup I've witnessed so far

Italia '90 & Germany '06 are still by far my fave ones...

[SajN]

Are you guys going to watch the ladies WC? The next World Cup will be hosted by Canada in 2015.

No lol

[Francesco]

The Italian ref was really good yesterday tbh.

He did some mistakes but overall he did good...

[SajN]

When should we close this thread? lol

Mourinho told Yahoo:

"All my respect to Messi because he played for his team and this can't be said of all players at this World Cup.
If Messi wanted to be the phenomenon we all know he is, he'd just have played up front, close to Higuain, waiting for a chance.
He was trying to create something out of nothing for his team. His assist to Di Maria was for example brilliant.
Messi played in zones that are not his. He had to play so low that he had to cross 2-3 lines. Always had 2-3 players on him.
Messi sacrified himself for the team. He wanted to win, he didn't wanted to be topscorer or mvp, he wanted to make history."

Messi took his mediocre team to the finals what more do you guys want from him???

True statement. He wasn't the best but without him Argentina would have flopped so hard this year. Aguero was nowhere near his best, Higuain flops in front of the goal as always, and Di Maria wasn't half as good as he was during this season.

Argentina's defense was great but they were really bad in front of the goal.

[SajN]

Argentina's defense was great but they were really bad in front of the goal.

Which is the opposite of what everyone including me were thinking before WC :heskylaugh:

[SajN]

He's been throwing up several times this year. Dunno why that is happening :/
