James Rodriguez deserves the Golden Ball

[PorkChop]

The list:

Angel Di Maria
Javier Mascherano
Lionel Messi
Mats Hummels
Toni Kroos
Phillip Lahm
Thomas Muller
James Rodriguez
Neymar
Arjen Robben

Honestly, if anyone else wins it I'll be mad as fuck, especially if it's Messi - I feel he really underperformed in this tournament. Rodriguez was consistently outstanding.

Golden ball should of either went to Muller, Rodriguez or Mascherano.

Messi just fucking won it. What a fucking joke.

For some reason I thought he picked up the top goal-scorer award, not the Golden Ball award! Ridiculous. Not a clue who voted for that but poor that Rodriguez didn't nab it.

100% sure they fixed it to give it to Messi, pathetic decision - he's had a shit tournament.

I wouldn't be surprised if they fixed it either. All things considered, Messi has probably been the most disappointing player of the tournament.

It's just an empty trophy to Messi without a World Cup win but nonetheless he should be proud of how far he carried that team.
