Messi was good in the group stages but has not done much in the knock out stages in my opinion. I think the award should go to one from Kroos, Muller or Rodríguez. I'm also not sure why Neymar is on the list..
To be honest i agree with you on Messi, but i didn't wan't to just name a load of German players  . James was my favourite of the tournament but there's no chance he'll get even the Bronze ball, he'd be the first Quarterfinalist in a 32 team tournament too if he did. While Muller has been great i'd probably have Lahm and Neuer ahead of him as well as Messi who has done more for his team as a whole imo. Neuer has obviously not been shortlisted because he'll win the Golden Gloves award, but i think his aforementioned sweeper contributions have been ignored. Neymar deserved his inclusion imo at least. He was the only presence Brazil had in attack for their first 5 games, seeing him limping into the tunnel in his full kit made me feel horrible for him. I don't think he deserves any awards, but i do think he was one of the top 10 players of the tournament. The award i'm wondering about is the young player award. I can't think of anyone who's under 21 that's featured prominently enough to deserve it, like Muller in 2010 and Podolski 4 years ealier. Am i forgetting someone? Off the top of my head i can only think of Paul Pogba for France but he's over 21 i believe . Just checked he's 21, i think you've found the answer good work DE NIRO

Super bowl is a joke two teams that only play in the United States  The only thing I really dislike about the WC is the commentary. Like I need to hear others try to explain to me the only game I really love. I turn on the tv with the volume off, and then listen to all kinds of music on my iPad while I watch them game. Listen to this one Check out this video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLJllk-0o6c&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I was rooting for Argentina because of Pope Francis  . Oh well, congrats to Germany.

Germany Had to win the World cup.
Germany and the number 7
"Germany contains 7 letters.
Germany was in group "G" or group 7
Germany ended group stage with 7 points
Germany scored 7 goals in group stages
Germany scored 7 goals against Brazil
The final was also their 7th match in the tournament
We are in the 7th month of the year
The conclusion is that it was meant to be for Germany to win thevWorld Cup
WOW! Only fitting description! Just WOW! Whatever you got I need, pill? Plant? Give me the guys number!

Here's the WC All Star team picked by FIFA. GK - Manuel Neuer. DF - Marcos Rojo, Mats Hummels, David Luiz (  ), Phillip Lahm. MF - Bastian Schweinsteiger, James Rodriguez, Toni Kroos. FW - Arjen Robben, Lionel Messi, Thomas Muller. Phillip Lahm (06,10,14) becomes the third player to be named to three All Star teams after, Djalma Santos (54,58,62) and Franz Beckenbauer (66,70,74). The only real problem i have with this team is David Luiz, i'm not even sure who i'd replace him with but his inclusion is a joke. I would also probably swap Schweinsteiger with Mascherano.
