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 beat everything and everyone
else. For the fourth time in the history of the FIFA World Cup, Germany have laid hands on the most
treasured trophy in football. But away from the action itself, a number of impressive players have
been acknowledged with individual honors, pioneered by Argentina's Lionel Messi, called the
tournament's finest player by FIFA's Technical Study hall.
A real captain and a true matchwinner. There can be no finer compliment to Argentina skipper
Lionel Messi, who was so prominent in his team's course to the Final. With some questioning simply
how prominent he would be in Brazil after a requiring season for Barcelona and concerns over
http://www.facebook.com/pages/WorldCup2014/1494897594057798?fref=nf a problematic
hamstring, he silenced the doubters by merely being his normal motivational self. He mesmerised at
the Maracana by scoring and setting up another in the 2-1 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina. He
scored late on against Iran to send out the group through to the Round of 16 and then added 2 in the
3-2 win over Nigeria. However he didn't stop there. He played the sphere 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 penalty to help his side beat the Dutch. And while the
personal award might be scant benefit for a runners-up medal, he can be justifiably pleased of his
performances at this FIFA World Cup.
Colombia's No10 made an immediate 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 procedure. He got the exact
same honor in the next match, a 2-1 win over CA?te d'Ivoire, discovering the target once again. The
Monaco guy was at it once again in the final group video game versus Japan, getting in the fray as a
second-half substitute, yet making time to produce 2 goals for Jackson Martinez and credit score
himself. Rodriguez then made history when he scored two times in the 2-0 win over Uruguay,
ensuring Colombia got the quarter-finals of a FIFA World Cup for the first time. There he tasted
defeat for the first time versus Brazil, however converted a consolatory charge and earned a
standing ovation from the crowd in Fortaleza for his efforts.
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 during Brazil 2014, conceding just 4
goals in 7 games and impressing FIFA's Technical Study
hall with his shot-stopping ability, his commanding
presence and his capability to begin attacks from his own
charge area. Undoubtedly, he has been called a 'sweeper-
keeper' by areas of the media for his efficiencies at this
World Cup, including lots of evidence of his desire to come off his line and play exact passes when
under pressure.

2. The France midfielder was thought about to be the choice
of the players born after 1 January 1993 at this World Cup.
The Juventus midfielder played in all five of Les Bleus'
games, having an impact in the 5-2 win over Switzerland
by creating a goal for Karim Benzema and afterwards
scoring in the 2-0 win over Nigeria, in which he was
named as the Budweiser Man of the Match. In picking up
this award, he has won the Golden Ball award at the FIFA
U-20 World Cup and the Young Player award at succeeding tournaments.
The Group C winners who reached the quarter-finals were given this award, not just for collecting
just five yellow cards in their 5 matches at Brazil 2014, however for scoring highly in the criteria set
by FIFA's Technical Research study Group, that includes favorable play, regard to the opponent and
match officials, in addition to the habits of their team authorities and supporters.
