OT: FIFA World Cup

[Heldig]

Congratulations GJF! The best team won.

I loved the look on Messi's face. I just don't understand he got the golden ball for best player of the tournament. Müller, Neuer, James Rodriguez and Robben were all better in my opinion.

My top choices were Robben and J Rodriguez.

Messi did not deserve the award. Pure politics.

IMO, Messi wasn't even the best player playing for Argentina.

Great win by Germany and an exciting final. I can't understand the Golden Ball to Messi but then again I'm not surprised really. Overall just a fantastic World Cup, really enjoyed it

I really liked that Rojo kid, but I was watching him intently as Spurs have been linked to him while we also need a LB and CB and he fits the bill for both.

Mascherano should have won just because of this:

In the mixed zone, Javier Mascherano spared no words to describe the move: "I do not want to be rude ... I tore the anus that play. So the pain ..."

I can see why they played that well.
