Golden Ball
Thomas Muller
(fair enough), Toni Kroos
(not by any stretch), Philipp Lahm
(no way - had at least one really poor game), Mats Hummels
(one German who hasn't stood out) (all Germany), Lionel Messi
(by default - but he's been poor), Javier Mascherano
(one good tackle, lots of running around?), Angel Di Maria
(good and awful at the same time) (all Argentina), Neymar
(astonishing - he's been utter shit) (Brazil), Arjen Robben (Holland)
(cheats obviously do prosper), James Rodriguez
(certainly stood out) (Colombia)
