Has he?
He has had some good moments but his great moments came against Iran, Nigeria and Bosnia, as well an assist against Switzerland.
Hardly great meanwhile Muller, Kroos and Schweinsteiger who has been struggling with fitness have put in some great performance not to mention Rodriguez
Also the voting is done at half time.
I think it's all subjective, put Messi in that Germany side and he would be the best player of the tournament and by a mile; for me, Muller, Kroos and Schweinsteiger are not even 1/3 as good as Messi and I would have Messi in my team over those 3 anyday.
Muller, Kroos and Schweinsteiger are made to look good by the German system and the sum of the parts; individually and as a candidate for the Golden Ball, they hold no candle to the magic of Leo Messi.
