player of the tournament.

 

[Judgeneo]

yes get in germany. i had them backed to win the World cup before it even started,

Why?

Because this is a team that has been built from the ground up 10+ years ago.

All of these players have grown together for long long. Happy for them

This is how you build a world champion team

Indeed, how long before we try something similar in the UK? A long time I imagine...

I'd give it to one of the Germans but he's single handedly got this team to the final.

No he hasn't, their whole defensive unit and a bit of luck on penalties has got Argentina to the final.

Messi had a bad tournament by his standards, even so he was still good at times. Definitely not close to player of the tournament though.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Mascherano deserved it more than Messi tbh.

Messi wasn't in the best 10, maybe 20.

Goals, assists and Opta disagree with you.

if not just to save the embarrassment of the player having to do that walk twice.....

How the hell has he been crap? He has created the most chances than any other player by a long way, his passing has been superb, and bagged 4 goals, also took Argentina to the final almost on his own.

We've had these reviews of the setup over and over again, another one a few months ago, in which they agree that the rest of the world doesn't know what they're talking about because we invented the game, so we must do what we think is best.

We've had chance after chance to make the same changes Belgium, Germany, Spain, etc, have all done. The solution is simple, copy their programs. But English idiots agree the English way is best... even though it fails over and over again.

What would we be doing right now if this was England walking up those stairs?

Wish I was Calvin Harris - hearing your song at the World Cup victory parade must be surreal.

Personally I think Argentinas great defensive displays have been the main catalyst to getting them to the final. I think they have been solid.

Dreaming?

Sleeping.

I'd probably be wondering why they were still in Brazil after getting knocked out 2 weeks ago

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Bet Angela's dirty.

How was Messi player of the tournament?
