neuer made 3 more passes than messi
252/255

with more accuracy..

4 goals and 1 assists, many players have more assists, a few have more goals and there are still players with both more goals AND more assists, I'm pretty sure the most dribbles completed was Arjen Robben and the most chances created was a German.


flopped vs Germany
flopped vs Netherlands
flopped vs Belgium
flopped vs Switzerland
not even top 10 on the Castrol Index
Not to mention 2 of those MOTM awards were undeserved, much like this golden ball trolol

His first half vs Belgium was really good, but in the second he was near invisible.

Messi had a good tournement.
He didn't really flop against Germany at all. He was very lively, him and Lavezzi were Argentina's best players in the 1st half, dribbling through Germany's midfield and creating chances for Higuain who had a terrible game. Then taking off Lavezzi for an unfit Aguero was a bad move, and Messi suffered as a result.

It's funny if you compare Müller and Messi's statistics head 2 head Müller has him beat in almost every single way. goals, assists, even tackles that the guy above claimed was an amazing statistic for Messi. not to mention distance covered. every German player and Robben that I compared to Messi has run 80+ km but Messi's only run for 60km.




awards = subjective opinion, for example my opinion is that Nicola Peltz is hotter than Megan Fox. Green is the best colour, etc.
statistics/indices = objective facts, for example 100 is a higher number than 10, 7 comes after 6 and 2+2 = 4




Indeed he did, but no where near the best. He wasn't even the best Argentine player of the tournament. I'd give that to Rojo and Mascherano, with Messi third.


Edit:

I just noticed that the picture of Messi with golden ball states that Messi had 11 tackles, but according to Fifa's own website he only had 7. Müller had 8.

Fucking pathetic Messi fanboys have to lie about Messi's statistics in order to prove he deserved something he didn't. Now I'm definitely sure Messi didn't create the most chances or complete the most dribbles.

He was only the best player in 4 matches.

ty.

He also won the golden ball. How stupid is everyone.

He played like a god with the tactics Argentina was playing with.

8 n the back . Messi + Di maria vs. 11
Sometimes Lavezzi would run (yes just run with the ball)

To make it worse, Aguero would come in for Higuan who can't hit the target. Aguero, a class striker, played worse than Fred, Eder and Jo.
