    yah I can't agree with Messi winning the golden ball either, I know he is top 3 in the world, and his presence on the field demands multiple coverage but he didn't setup or score a goal in the quarters, semis or finals.

    I don't know if I could isolate one guy for the ball but my choices would be between:

    Rodriguez, Muller, Schweinsteiger, Robben and Neuer. Each for their own reasons.

    Schwein took a beating in yesterdays game, but he was honestly all over the field. I can't remember what his final distance covered was but I'm guessing 13-14km at least?

    what a fantastic world cup. the best team won the tournament, and it didn't go to penalties in the final.

    it's amazing how much some of these players run in a game. Ya, Schweinsteiger probably covered close to 15km that game. He was probably at about 11km at the end of 90 mins.

    Messi definitely didn't deserve best player but it was probably a FIFA-political
    move which could be somewhat tangibly justified (carried the team to the final, scored 4 goals and a couple assists, made some dazzling runs). I'd say minus the diving, Robben would be a candidate as well as a lot of players on the German team (Hummels, Kroos, Muller). Then you have guys like Rodriguez, Mascherano, Howard, etc.

    bar Japan being dissapointing, it was definitely the best world cup I've seen by far.
