FIFA . . . That explains it . . .
According to the BBC website,

He was joint bottom on 40% for shots on target.
Did not feature in the final and seems to stroll around in other matches.
But the hidden agenda of FIFA pulls another turkey out of the hat. |  | | |  |

He had that award sewn up a year ago.
Personally I'd have given it to one of the Germans maybe their goalkeeper. Outstanding. |  | | |

Financial politics in football gone mad,i can think of 3 goalkeepers who deserve it more than him just for starters.
The whole set up is so corrupt that it barely gets questioned,when it does it gets an astonished deflection whilst the gravy train just keeps chugging along.
Messi looked embarrassed collecting the damn thing. |  | | |

I thought he had a decent game last night, every time they got him on the ball in the final third he made things happen but the Argies played far too deep and didn't get him on the ball enough.
No way player of the tournament (Rodrigez or the German keeper for me) but I thought he had a decent tournament. |  | | |

No one's saying he's rubbish Maka, just that he's not player of the tournament. Which he's not. | |

I was thinking about this question coz I was also baffled by it. I suppose he was the most important player to his team. Argies made it to the final and came relatively close to winning it because of him. Without him they were fairly pedestrian -- well organized at the back but not much to write home about. With him they had a chance to win the world cup. For Germany, there were many players who had great tournaments, but no one player stood out as the reason they were successful. |  |

I think the simple reason he got it was because FIFA wanted to hand it out to someone in the final and they were either too dumb or too drunk to think of anyone else on the pitch to give it too. Messi looked embarrassed by it all | | | |

Messi got best player and apparently Pogba got young player. You could have picked those before the tournament even started as obvious candidates, even though performances of others were far better. Messi and Pogba were good, but some people were brilliant.
Robben, Rodriguez, Mascherano, Muller, Schweinsteiger, Neuer, Kroos, Ochoa, Shaqiri, Benzema, Lahm all had better tournaments than Messi IMO. | |
