Messi did not deserve that at all. Muller or Mascherano would have been a better choice. Even James Rodriguez.

I'm flicking to BBC, I cant stand this, jesus talk about the match not Ireland

Of course talk about Ireland, it 's an Irish TV channel.

Did Schweinsteiger pick up an eye injury in the celebrations or was I just not paying proper attention?

No one wants to mention the elephant in the room, Messi is simply past his peak, which he hit in 2012.

Hercule Poirot

Who did Sabella skip there? got some booing

Corholio

Messi won it?? Wtf?

Outrageous decision, and thats no Messi hating or anything, but there was a comfortable number of players ahead of him who should have got it.

Nuri Sahin

Crappy that Reus, Gundogan, Lars and Sven Bender miss out on this.

Messi player of the tournament... Bwahahaha. Joke.

I like messi, but that decision is a joke. Robben was streets ahead of Messi in this tournament.

Incredible from RTE..

Standard from RTE - overestimating their own importance in the grand scheme of things.

Yep - he didn't deserve it and he knows it.

To be fair BBC & ITV have stuck with the actual event and are talking about that, not England.

Was looking at some players Wikipedia pages to get more info on them and found this on Götze? :P Just refreshed the page and it has now been deleted lol :P

"After scoring the game winning goal in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final, Götze set a world record by bedding over 100 women the night of the victory."

Always figured he was gay actually

Robben player of the tournament IMO.

I see some jerseys have the 4th star on already.

Messi wasn't even Argentina's best player of the tournament, let alone best of everyone.

BBC is an English station but let there showing all the presentations and not talking about the English team

He was off for a couple of minute earlier with blood running down his face.

Enda: "For fek sake, that's nothing. Mayo won the Connacht championship and I presented the fekn trophy to Andy Moran.. bate that!"

Di Maria was better than him before his injury too

Its about knowing not to take a stupid shot on like that, not whether you have a realistic chance of scoring it. He should have known it was ball in to the box time.

All hindsight really. Messi is lightyears of levels above any of us in footballing terms, knowing better than him is a bit much.

Bacchus wrote: »

None of the above contradict my opinion that that was a terrible free kick. He hoofed it into the crowd. If Messi is to be held up as this all time great, this was a moment to do something, at least hit the target or put in a cross.

It was a poor free kick, there is no excuse.

No, his status as a great player is not hanging on the success of that one free kick.

Do emirates sponsor the trophy presentation???

What the **** are we going do for the next month now.

Oops sorry, just assumed she was Argentinian

The Sunday Game will be in a rush to show all the highlights of the weekend's games before the draw for the qualifiers at 8.30am in the morning..

I can't wait for all the John Terry photoshops....

Considering the vote is held at half time, not surprising really. 4 MOTM performances in 6.5 games is tough to argue with.

Well, they seem to sponsor everything else to do with football.

Don't get this anti-Ozil tripe at all. He's created two clear cut chances tonight, and more chances than any other German player at the world cup. What do people want?

To have a pop. Clear as day fr some of the posters.

Forget it tbh, we'll see how well Arsenal do 'carrying' him this season.:)

Amirani

Schweinsteiger was a fecking hero tonight. One of the great battling WC final performances right there.

The Connacht final highlights won't take long.





There were none.

Never said his status was hanging on it. Just saying a player of his quality should have done far better and it was a poor free kick in anyone's book.

That's only cause they've little to say 'bout their team.

It's actually a British station, not just English.;)
