So who was the real best player in the World Cup?

So who was the real best player in the World Cup?

unironically and without memes, neuer
whatever you think of him normally and whatever you think of his goalkeeping style, you can't deny that he played a fucking massive part in germany's success

This. Neymar was good too. Schweinsteiger is another German who you could say deserves the title

LCIM

Messi. He won the golden ball

Well he completed more take ons (46) and created more chances (26) than anyone else so maybe you're right

kroos

Suarez desu

Note that his team still hasn't lost a World Cup game with him playing yet

Mascherano

Not a bad choice either

Messi or James Rodriguez.

Take any German off the team and they still win the World Cup. Take Messi or James off their teams and they get booted out in the group stages.

Dan Carter

Messi, Neuer, James, Robben and Suarez deserve to be considered here.

Leaning towards Messi desu

lol

fred

take off nerman and... lel

Kroos, Neuer, Muller, Schweinsteiger etc all had some mediocre games but no one cares because Germany was good enough to win them anyway.

No one was as consistently good as Messi and James.

Good shout. I'd probably have him 3rd or 4th with Robben

Robben of course

the fuck???

Germany was never in a situation when Neuer had to save them

The best player was Kroos, James second, Robben third

Robben and its not even close, looked dangerous literally every single time he touched the ball. 2014 Brazil was probably his absolute peak, he was in the form of his life.

Messi had more
- More Goals
- More dribbles/take ons (more than triple)
- 5x more tackles
- Less unsuccessful touches
- More passes (more accurate in both long and short)
- More chances created
Robben is definitely second though

He was the more exciting player in that tournament but overall messi had more goals, assists etc

If I had to pick a memorable player though it's definitely lcim

Well not more than triple, I was reading someone else, but still 10 more

well i can't be messi, because he did fuck all in the knockout stages and let his coutnry down in the final

It's as if nobody saw Costa Rica play. Navas was on a.... whole...... nother.............. leval.

didn't you watch the Algeria and France match?
