@CoachAmaani@9xchqtngf4@MichaelCR777@TMfutbal@ballondor The only reason you call Argentina's run easy (in complete disrespect to their opponents on a path Brazil and Colombia could not survive), is because it's Messi's team.
If Spain or Portugal had had that run, you'd have called them resilient comeback kings.
@CoachAmaani@MichaelCR777@TMfutbal@ballondor What Rodri? How many MVP worthy games did he play leading to the final?
Not even a top 5 player before the final. The only reason he was given was because Spain won and the organizers were afraid of being accused of favouritism, given the hate campaign against Messi in that WC.
@AFOSMIDE@MichaelCR777@TMfutbal@ballondor No he wasn't. His team had the player with the most assists (Messi only second to him) and another teammate scored many goals as well.
Not remotely close to the same impact for France as Messi had for Argentina.
@MichaelCR777@TMfutbal@ballondor They all played in the world cup together, and Messi was by far the overall best player of that tournament, despite FIFA panicking over the strong hate campaign against Messi and giving the MVP to Rodri instead.
@CFCbyTchel@allcrowns94 No worse than he has been treated after the many cup finals he lost or the games he failed to register a shot - indifference.
The bar is below the ground for Cristiano. Hasn't even managed to score a non-penalty goal outside the group stage, you are talking about final.
