🚨 Sergio Agüero erupts: "Messi has been robbed there is no player more deserving of the World Cup Golden Ball.

🗣️ Sergio Agüero

For me, it's obvious. Lionel Messi deserves to win the World Cup Golden Ball. No player has influenced this tournament more than him. Every time Argentina needed a moment of magic, he delivered. Every attack, every important play, everything went through him.

I have huge respect for Rodri because he's had an outstanding tournament, but Messi has simply done more. He's scored, created, led from the front and inspired an entire nation once again. That's what the Golden Ball is supposed to recognize.

I don't understand how people keep saying Messi has robbed other players of awards. If anything, football has robbed Messi of individual honours he deserved over the years. This tournament is another example. No one deserves the World Cup Golden Ball more than Lionel Messi.

🇦🇷 Argentine newspaper Clarin: 'As never before, the Argentine team displayed, both on and off the field, a range of values ​​that are rare these days. From the pitch and beyond, they gave several lessons and showed the face of a country that we would like to see away from the football pitch.

'A team that was polite and respectful, despite a few unfortunate isolated incidents in the last match; that didn't speak ill of its rivals or try to justify its own mistakes by blaming others.'

[Red Sprint @utd_sprint]

🗣| Wayne Rooney on Lionel Messi's World Cup final performance.

"Look, I'll probably upset a lot of people by saying this, but I don't think Lionel Messi had the influence everyone expected in that final. For long spells, he was on the fringes of the game. When your team needs its biggest player to take control, I thought he was too quiet."

"People always tell me the greatest players decide the biggest matches. That's the standard Messi is judged by because he's earned it over his career. But if we're being consistent, we also have to admit when he falls short of those standards."

"I saw too many moments where Argentina lacked urgency and creativity, and I expected Messi to change that. He didn't."

"The problem with football today is that some players become untouchable. Every poor performance gets explained away, while everyone else gets criticised. That shouldn't happen. If we're calling someone one of the greatest ever, then the criticism has to be just as big when the performance isn't there."

"This doesn't erase everything Messi has achieved. He's one of football's all-time greats. But greatness shouldn't make anyone immune from honest criticism. In that final, I expected much more from him, and I don't think I'm wrong for saying it."

[IM🇵🇹 @Iconic_Mourinho]

I have been thinking about why Argentina are so hated by everyone.

Is it all the polemics with FIFA? I don't think that explains everything.

Is it Messi hate? That doesn't make sense, because all the neutrals also seem to hate Argentina.

And I think I found out the reason.…

For the first time in 30 years, Argentina won trophies. And within 5 years, they became the most hated NT in the world.

Are they hated because they win? No, past World Champions didn't get this hate (in fact, those teams got more admired after winning).

They're hated because of how they handled success.

Let's elaborate:

In many sports' rivalries it's easy to spot who is the dominant team and who is the smaller team, just by looking at each team's posture. This can be called the "big brother x little brother effect."

The "big brothers" are teams that are consistently the best, and they know it. When they win, they see it as a natural result of their superiority. So they shake their opponents' hands and move on to the next one.

Most dominant clubs in each league usually behave like this (Bayern is the best example). Good examples are also NTs such as Germany, France, Brazil, and Spain (more recently).

The "little brothers" are teams that feel like the eternal underdog. When they beat their "big brothers", they have to gloat, rub it in everyone's face and make it last. They do whatever is necessary to beat the bigger team (even unethical behavior). These teams are sour losers and obnoxious winners.

A great example is Atletico Madrid. But in international football, the best example of this - by far - is Argentina.

Since the dawn of football, Argentina have been the little brothers to Brazil. When Argentina won their first World Cup, Brazil already had 3. Argentina had Maradona, but Brazil already had "King Pele". For every world class player Argentina produced, their neighbours Brazil produced 5. Decades and decades of this.

What can you do? You accept your fate. You are the little brother. You taunt, you provoke, you do anything to get out of Brazil's shadow. For every relevant achievement, you rub it in everyone's face and you don't let anyone forget.

Then came the 2020s. Brazil entered a football crisis, and Argentina finally won again. But, unlike previous World Champions, they felt the need to rub it in all their opponents' faces, so no one would forget.

But why are they still so attached to this obnoxious posture in 2026? Brazil have gone decades without winning the World Cup, while barely producing any remarkable players. Argentina were going for back to back World Cups!

Why not win with some class? Why not be the big brother, finally? This would be the time.

Maybe this "little brother" phenomenon can also be individual…

How is the life of Argentina's players most of the time?

Apart from Messi, McAllister and Lautaro, it doesn't look great…

6 of them actually play for Atletico Madrid.

Enzo has never even won a domestic trophy. At Chelsea, it's been all disappointing seasons, while being highly disliked by many of Chelsea's fans.

Romero's club career is also a disaster. No domestic trophies. Tottenham went downhill right after signing him. He's also highly disliked by many of Spurs' fans.

Emiliano Martinez spent his career as an Arsenal reject, and later joined Gerrard's Villa, where he's never won anything.

Even Otamendi, who played for Pep's Man City, was always seen as the weak link of that team, the perfect target for opponents.

Argentina has a culture of "little brother", but most of their players also became "little brothers" in football. So they kept feeling like underdogs, even after winning 3 trophies in a row with the NT.

This was the year they should have become the "big brothers" and started behaving like a winning team.

They didn't. They became an example of how not to act in sports.

They became hated because they couldn't handle their own success.

Argentina, the greatest "little brothers" in football history.

[Appie Culé @appiecule]

They spent years calling Messi “FIFA’s boy.” But when a 39-year-old Messi—who can no longer run endlessly or press like he once did—still scored, assisted, created chances, controlled games, and carried Argentina to another World Cup final, suddenly the standards changed.

If Rodri wins the Golden Ball after a tournament where he barely decided games, then what more was Messi supposed to do? He scored, assisted, led his nation again, and was the defining player of the tournament.

The World Cup Golden Ball is supposed to reward the player who defines the tournament. For me, that player was Lionel Messi.

Ironically, the same people who spent years claiming FIFA always favored Messi may have helped create the opposite outcome. It feels as if FIFA became so wary of the endless “FIFA’s boy” accusations and the constant outrage and memes on X that they went the other way. I can’t prove that’s what happened, but it’s hard not to wonder if the noise influenced the decision.

Whether that’s true or not, one thing doesn’t change: at 39 years old, Messi once again showed the world why he is the greatest footballer of all time. No award can take that away. ❤️🐐

[BenHere @benhereB4]

sorry, when star player is deliberately surrounded by goons feeding you the ball, you are not best player!

[ᜰ @markklfc]

Thierry Henry on Rodri winning the Best Player of the Tournament award ahead of Lionel Messi at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

🗣️ “First of all, congratulations to Rodri because he’s an exceptional footballer. But if you’re asking me whether I agree with this decision? No, I don’t. Not for one second.”

“Messi carried expectations that almost no player in football history has ever faced. He produced decisive moments, inspired his teammates and once again proved why he’s one of the greatest to ever play the game. That’s why this decision will divide football fans for years.”

“Individual awards are always subjective, and that’s exactly why they create so much debate. People will have different opinions, but for me, Messi’s influence throughout the tournament was impossible to ignore.”

“When your team looks to one player every single time the game is on the line, and he keeps delivering, that’s what the Best Player award is supposed to recognise. Messi wasn’t just playing football—he was carrying the hopes of an entire nation on his shoulders.”

“People will look back at this tournament years from now and remember Messi’s moments, his leadership and the fear he put into every opponent. That’s why I believe he deserved to leave with the Golden Ball.”

“Rodri deserves respect for an outstanding World Cup, but if I had one vote, it would have gone to Messi. That’s football people will celebrate one winner, while others will believe another player did enough to deserve it. Those debates are part of what makes this sport so passionate.”
