thats what I said, but so many seem to blame Messi. Where's the logic. Blame Blatter and his mates.

Not you Pino, just people generally on social media and press seem to pummelling Messi right now. Generally seems to tad unfair. He didnt choose himself as Golden Ball winner and he was in poor form. its one of those things.

It doesn't diminish his previous achievements. but thats what I have seen, people saying "well he was never that good really" and IMO thats nonsense.
