Pukey Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 It's the pinnacle prize to be won as a footballer that's why. No doubt he is one of the best but people just put Pele/Maradona that little bit a ahead because they won the greatest prize on offer.No one has said Messi is average because he failed to win a WC... Hyperbole. But it's played once every 4 years, you can't suddenly not consider someone a great because they didn't win a competition they played in twice (or not at all in some cases) I get winning it elevating people, but it's not everything. Look at what Messi has achieved, how the hell is he not a great? (Not aiming that at you, just at those who argue he isn't a great) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD nawrat Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Mascherano undoubtedly better than Messi in this tournament, yes. There's about 10 players who had better tournaments than Messi ffs. I actually wouldn't have minded seeing Neuer win the Golden Ball. However I don't think FIFA knows that you can nominate non-forwards, so what do I know.

PMLF Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Champions League worth more than a World Cup imo. Maybe I just say that as a Scotsman because I know we will never win a World Cup (certainly not in my lifetime). Yes, I think so too, the World Cup is fun and everything but it's just a big party. The quality of top level club games is higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
