1. Germany vs Argentina: Germans see win as a sign of
international might
On the day of the Final, the winners of the FIFA World Cup Trophy outperform everything and
everybody else. For the fourth time in the history of the FIFA World Cup, Germany have laid hands
on the most prized trophy in football. But far from the action itself, a number of exceptional gamers
have actually been recognized with specific awards, pioneered by Argentina's Lionel Messi, called
the competition's best gamer by FIFA's Technical Study Group.
A true captain and a real matchwinner. There can be no
finer compliment to Argentina skipper Lionel Messi, who
was so prominent in his group's course to the Final. With
some questioning simply how prominent he would be in
Brazil after a demanding season for Barcelona and issues
over a bothersome hamstring, he silenced the doubters by
simply being his normal motivational self. He mesmerised
at the Maracana by scoring and establishing another in
the 2-1 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina. He scored late on versus Iran to send the group through
to the Round of 16 then added 2 in the 3-2 win over Nigeria. He didn't stop there. He played the
round to Angel Di Maria, who scored in the 118th minute of the match versus Switzerland to send
them through to the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals he brushed home a charge to assist his side
beat the Dutch. And while the individual honor could be scant benefit for a runners-up medal, he can
be justifiably pleased with his efficiencies at this FIFA World Cup.
Colombia's No10 made an instant effect at Brazil 2014, scoring in the last minute in their 3-0 win
over Greece, earning the Budweiser Guy of the Match Honor in the process. Rodriguez then made
history when he scored two times in the 2-0 win over Uruguay, guaranteeing Colombia certified for
the quarter-finals of a FIFA World Cup for the very first time.
After winning the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup with Bayern Munich, the
28-year-old now has the adidas Golden Glove to contribute to his growing collection. The Germany
No1 was in great kind for the Nationalmannschaft throughout Brazil 2014, conceding simply four
objectives in 7 video games and impressing FIFA's Technical Study Group with his shot-stopping
capability, his commanding presence and his capability to start attacks from his own charge
location. He has actually been dubbed a 'sweeper-keeper' by sections of the media for his
efficiencies at this World Cup, featuring plenty of evidence of his desire to come off his line and play
precise passes when under pressure.
The France midfielder was considered to be the pick of the gamers born after 1 January 1993 at this
World Cup. The Juventus midfielder played in all five of Les Bleus' video games, having an effect in
the 5-2 win over Switzerland by creating a goal for Karim Benzema then scoring in the 2-0 win over
Nigeria, where he was called as the Budweiser Man of the Match. In getting this honor, he has won
the Golden Ball honor at the FIFA U-20 World Cup and the Young Gamer honor at successive
tournaments.
The Group C winners who reached the quarter-finals were offered this honor, not only
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIFA_World_Cup_red_cards for gathering just five yellow cards
2. in their five matches at Brazil 2014, however for scoring highly in the requirements set by FIFA's
Technical Study Group, that includes favorable play, regard in the direction of the opponent and
match authorities, along with the behavior of their team officials and supporters.
