When I included Argentina (Messi, Mascherano) as the winner over Germany (Neuer, Muller, Gotze etc), I am just attempting to provide myself some childish consolation over the former's loss in the 2014 WC. Germany's world cup win was well-deserved though Messi did not disappoint the fans in any way, IMO.
On a side note, after Colombia's match against Brazil was stolen, Germany was appointed as 'instant Karma' to vanquish the Brazilian side in one of the most humiliating manners in recent memory. And guess what? FIFA has quietly placed Colombia above Brazil in the ranking table.

(http://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/ranking-table/men/) But Messi was phenomenal in yesterday's game with contributions in all the three goals in the match that missed out on opposing fire-powers of Ribery and Robben . It is a team sport but Neymar and Dani Alvez also stood out pretty well. Most of all, the sports news channels are now peppered with the acceptable comments that Messi is the greatest player in the history of the game. Now get this, no coach strategy works when an inspired messi is at work.
In the mean time, the media has to keep themselves gainfully employed by fueling the debate on who the current best footballer in the world is, by continuing to pit Messi against Ronaldo, for now.
