In what should come as no surprise, Argentina superstar Lionel Messi was almost unanimously selected by The Sporting News staff to win his second World Cup Golden Ball. "He responded every time Argentina needed him, be it with a goal, an assist or simply controlling the moments of each game," TSN's Juan Estevez said. TSN's data editor Nathan Evans ...
In an extremely close battle with France teammate Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann won the vote for the Silver Ball with eight votes to seven. The votes were essentially split between the two. "The biggest reason for France's ability to become a better version of itself in the absence of key players is AG's stunning transition to a do-it-all No. 8,...
In an interesting category, Antoine Griezmann received the most votes with five, ahead of Kylian Mbappe (4) and Sofyan Amrabat (4). But with Mbappe receiving so many votes in the Silver Ball section, he is elevated to the top of the Bronze Ball list. TSN's Nathan Evans stated: "To potentially walk away with the World Cup Golden Boot at the age of j...
With nine votes, Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic saluted ahead of Morocco's Yassine Bounou, who picked up six votes.

In a two-horse race with England talent Jude Bellingham, Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez clinched the honour with eight votes to seven. "With only three caps to his name coming into the tournament he produced in a high-pressure spot and in a sensitive area of the field, looking like he'd played there forever. Technique, calm on the ball, good d...
Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni and Morocco's Walid Regragui could not be separated with six votes each. On Scaloni, Simon Borg said: He was facing the most pressure of any manager coming into the tournament and had serious personnel problems with player injuries and lack of form. He had to remake his starting 11 on the fly, but he had the guts to...
In a category with many different nominations, Saudi Arabia's shock victory against Argentina was one of the only moments voted more than once. "Saudi Arabia's victory over Argentina was the seismic shock that kicked the World Cup into gear and guaranteed a national holiday for the whole of the Middle Eastern country!" TSN's Pete Marshall said.
The scissors kick goal executed by Richarlison in Brazil's group-stage win against Serbia is the winner in this category, although there was disagreement over whether the team goal he scored against South Korea was better. TSN's Dom Farrell said: "Richarlison just edges out Richarlison into second place. His acrobatic volley against Serbia was spec...
In a wide open category, the Argentina vs Netherlands clash rose to the top, with the Dutch coming back from two goals down as Wout Weghorst scored a late brace, including a 101st-minute equaliser. Mauricio Codocea says: "Maybe the best game of what's already a huge World Cup rivalry. An amazing recovery from the Dutch, a powerful hold by the Argie...
