i actually did watch some of the games...It's not that hard even for a casual watcher to see that Howard is NOT the best in the world compared to the others...Better then Neuer? Funny
I missed the celebration, so I'm going to go on a little rant here.....
WTF did Messi do this tournament to win the Golden Ball for best player? Was he really that much better than Mueller, Kloos, James Rodriguez, or even Neuer?? The guy was largely invincible for most of the knockout stages, I know he's a great and one of the greatest to ever play, but damn Blatter's man love for him as reached epic proportions. Its disgusting.
Where was Giselle? I watched the whole post game thinking she was going to present the World Cup trophy. Was she in the line of stewardess looking girls behind everybody?

Disagree completely, Howard kept them in every game and they were overmatched in every game. gi ven your take on him as opposed to everyone else who watched the tournament I am starting to think you have a bias against him from the EPL.
I think Jerome Boeteng deserves a spot in the final 11. Guy was a brick wall every game I seen.
Ivan, I think you're guilty of looking through rose-tinted glasses here fella.
The US weren't over-matched in all of their games at all, and the only one where Howard was required to make a significant amount of saves was the Belgium game.
If you look around, certainly at the British media, you'll see most have a similar view of the keepers in the tournament and whatnot. Club bias has nothing to do with it.
I thought his performances were typical of Germany - average early on then got better as the tournament continued. Hummels was the key to their defensive solidity though and Vlaar was exceptional for the Dutch. Giancarlo Gonzalez was unlucky to miss out I thought and I would have actually picked your boy Omar Gonzalez as fourth centre back. I thought him and Yedlin were utterly superb.
Sorry Az but your bias is showing through here. I would have given the award to Rodriquez but Messi carried Argentina and they went to the final. he didn't have a good final but he had a great tournament and was as deserving as anyone for the honor. He clearly didn't care about it and imo that goes to who he is as a player, the only thing that mattered to him was the result and they lost.
