here is the short list for the winner of Fifas Golden ball - awarded to the Tournament's best player Angel Di Maria, Javier Mascherano, Lionel Messi, Mats Hummels, Toni Kroos, Phillip Lahm Thomas Muller James Rodriguez Neymar Arjen Robben My three would be Muller , Mascherano & Hummels
I'm surprised Demichelis hasn't had a mention, he's looked a different, better more solid player to his Citeh performances.
Neymar will get it. The sympathy vote. Messi has gone a bit too quiet to win it unless he goes berserk in the final.
Muller, Robben, James. Despite the dive, robben has been arguably the most influential player for his team this tournament .
No Neuer? Worthless list. Messi? Missi more like. It's like the annoying ****athon by the commentators on these so called big players, who apart from the Germans haven't delivered is started and nurtured by FIFA. Best player? There's been much better players than that list but they're not the commercial darlings that list portrays I guess.
A player of the tournament has to get to at least the semi final. If Messi turns it on in the final and they win it will be him. If not one of the Germans should win it, Muller most likely. Happys right Neuer should be in the list. Monster of a goalie.
Yes neuer definitely. Not only should he be in the list I'd make him 2nd. He's been crucial for Germany.
He's a silly ****. Agree Neuer should be in the list but who else is missing? It's not like Messi or the others on that list haven't been good is it?
We were talking about "superstars" in the various teams at this world cup at work. It seemed fairly easy: Italy - Pirlo Portugal - Ronaldo Brazil - Neymar Argentina - Messi Germany - Every single one of them
