Finals

In fairness to Messi, he almost constantly had 3-4 players on him whenever he got near the ball. He needed the rest of the team to step up and give him some support, one player can't carry a team against an opponent like Germany.

Exactly this, people are being unfair on Messi.

That's why he's no Maradona, Maradona could deal with that. 

 

Messi's performance was a disgrace, spent most of the game coasting, effort level wasn't there and his end product wasn't either. It was really his last chance to really do it at a world cup and he didn't quite live up to expectations despite the odd flashes of brilliance at times during the tournament. He'll be 31 at the next world cup and past it.

Germany well deserved winners tonight and the tournament overall. They were the only ones looking for the winner in extra time.

 

Argentina deserve credit for actually getting to the final despite being so negative but thankfully their dour football couldn't lift the biggest prize.

To be fair to Messi, Maradona never scored 91 goals in a year or get voted best player on the planet 4 years running. Dunno why they only focus on what Diego achieved as the benchmark.

 

But he did score in the knockout stages of a World Cup, which Messi has never managed.
