James Rodriguez Robbed of Best Player

When Lionel Messi won the best player of the tournament award for the World Cup I thought it was bullshit.

He essentially did not do much in the important matches for Argentina. James Rodriguez had six goals and carried his Colombian team. He also had a load of assists. The award is obviously geared towards a player who played in the semi finals. But even if that was the case you could argue Thomas Muller of Germany deserved it more for Messi.

More proof that Messi is over rated. Seems like he won the award before the tournament started with his okay play and Argentina’s easy schedule.

I’m not sure what the age limit for “best young player is” but if it’s under 25 James Rodriguez definitely deserved it over freaking Paul Pogba. If it’s under 23 then I am mistaken. Paul Pogba played not bad. I thought the real robbery was Messi over James.

People Need To Stop Saying Messi Has No One On Argentina

Over and over I keep reading people saying how Lionel Messi has no one to play with on Argentina.

My thoughts? Shut up.

He does so.

His defense is playing lights out at this world cup and on paper is one of the best in the world. Zabaleta and Mascherano are both the best in the world at what they play in.

Angel Di Maria and Sergio Aguero are both no slouches in the midfield either. Again, they are both one of the best in the world at their respective positions.

Lavezzi and Higuain are both very good when they are on their game.

Like Samuel L Jackson said in Snakes on a Plane, “I’ve had it with people saying Messi has no one to play with internationally!”

He does. Enough, stop it. If he doesn’t win the world cup this year it will be a bust just like Germany with their stacked roster.

Saying Messi has no one to play with is an insult to Cristiano Ronaldo who has to play with scrubs on team Portugal outside of Pepe and a past his prime Nani in the midfield. How they even gave Spain a tough match in the 2010 world cup and 2012 euro cup is beyond me.
