I have never seen it so popular in the States as it has been this year. They are actually showing it at "portable" drive-in theaters and many drinking establishments are running promotions.
How about Messi's Golden Ball? Fair?
Not in my opinion, but FIFA thinks differently.
I really hope that soccer stays unpopular. Imagine how long we would have to hear about Messi. ESPN would make their analysis of LeBron look like nothing. We would go months with ESPN developing models about how Messi and Maradona compare.
Completely unacceptable...Messi score all of his goals in the group stage and did nothing after that. What about Klose? What about Müller? These guys actually did something...
Yes, Müller and Klose would be much better choices too, but somehow I enjoyed very much watching Robben, was a great World Cup for him.

Arjen Robben perhaps ...
The better team won. But Argentina deserved to be playing. Awesome defense. Congrats Germany.
So it is ok to cry for Argentina?
