I wouldn't give it to Robben ahead of Messi ever, and I'm a big Arjen Robben fan. Definitely the Dutch's best player at least consistently.
They were never going to give it to James Rodriguez as Colombia were only quarterfinalists. It's understandable. Macherano deserves mention, but they were never giving it to a defensive player. I actually expected Muller to maybe get it, because Germany won. In my opinion, Germany didn't truly have standout individuals, but performed well as a team.
Robben outplayed messi IMO. Messi didnt play well the last 2 games, maybe he felt something i dunno, he looked light he had an injury. And holland played much harder opponents in the group stage.
They could give it to a defender, didnt they give it to cannavaro in 2006?
