[Post Ironic]

Unless Messi somehow does something out of the ordinary at the next WC in 4 years... Tarnished legacy.

Pele, Maradona, Zidane, Ronaldo (Brazilian), Beckenbauer, Puskas, Romario >>>>>> Messi

Messi deservedly best player of the tournament

Good one, your trolling has gone up to Cronios level.

[Rufio]

I blame it on the chokin' azurri uniform.

Nah, GER was the better team of this WC before, during and after, and they confirmed it.

 

[acmilan]

All the Messi riding aside, kudos to the Argie team for making adjustments on the fly - something Brazil miserably failed to do - and coming within a set of Higuain or Palacio balls of possibly even winning it all. They looked pretty average up to and including the 1/8 finals but found balance and a way to solidify their game, playing as a team ... quite possibly not a coincidence that happened only after Di Maria came off injured vs the Belgiums.

Still, when all is said and done, I think the best team won the WC. Well done by the Schwabs

I can understand the golden glove for Neuer, but i cannot understand the "best player" for Messi

He played his best game in the final, yes, and he was carrying argentina's frontline (tho not decisive this time)

But other players deserved that award more, imo. And this is me trying to be objective.

Thiago Silva was much better then Luiz, but apart from that position, seems correct

 

[MikeM]

Lavezzi was Argentina's best player today.

 

[Bezzy]

Germany deserved to win and proud of my country with all the players from our crappy league well done Louis van Gaal

Fuckin party pooper, you could have at least waited for the reaction first

 

[Mister]

Lavezzi was Argentina's best player today.

Sabella playing counter attack with 0 width . Lavezzi was the only genuine winger he had and he subbed him off . Higuain for aguero would have been a better sub.

Vlaar or Garay should be there instead.

 

[j0ker]

No Romero

 

[Zacheryah]

I thought you said several times it is the direct counter to the barca/Guardiola/Spain style. Argentina play nothing close to that.

It is against both.

The tactical plan when not in possession and the way they directly attack is the counter against barcelona

Argentina relies on a pressing game and organised defence behind it. The direct counter is good off the ball movement and short passing. Both Barcelona and Germany are epitomes of that. But the Germans ability for direct play puts them ahead.

However, the germans depend heavy on Kroos, who had a poor game

 

[Trequartista]

Rizzoli was stellar

Best Italian referee since Collina.

Come to think of it, Mascherano would deserve a place in there aswel. And Vlaar
