I didn't think so, Perez was excellent
in the group games Di Maria's final ball was shocking. 

I'd agree with this, he is capable of magic, just hasn't produced at this WC

Didn't deserve that, in fairness. He had a top notch world cup. Unlikely to ever win it now. Only has one more chance really.

Wouldn't have given him the Golden Ball(James deserved it) but without him Argentina would have struggled to get out of their group. The rest of the Argentina attack had very disappointing tournaments.

Brilliant player who had a very, very good tournament.

Sabella: "Messi reached the level of true greatness some time ago. What happened today doesn't change that."

Stop being a victim LOL

If I remember correctly, Zidane was an unpopular Golden Ball winner. The award was voted for before the head-butt.

Messi is being judged according to Messi standards, not anyone elses. If he was James Rodriguez and we hadn't heard as much about him (although we'd heard a little about Rodriguez) and had taken that team to the final, we'd be raving about him. He did well and was at least one of the valid choices for Golden Ball.

Exactly. The only player people are judging Messi against is Messi himself. All things being equal Messi was clearly one of the best players at the tournament even if he didnt live up to his own standards.

Man of the match "fact" is incorrect. Navas of the Costa Rica won four man of the match awards also.
