Ballon D'or Tonight

[Oasis_City]

Ballon D'or goes to... Messi for the fourth year running!

3rd

 

[adrianr]

We really are going to have to rename that award. It's misleading letting everyone think anyone else has a chance!

However, Lionel.. you may be the best footballer in the world, but even you ain't pulling off that suit.

Baconface - FIFA Presidential Award

Is that an award they made up tonight?

Who won the "Best Rug Wearing Striker called Wayne" award this year?

 

[Oasis_City]

Rooney came 5th

 

[Unknown_Genius]

Rooney in team of the year is an absolute joke. I'm glad his flukey, shinned goal didn't win the Puskas award.

 

[VanPersie]

Rooney ahead of this guy. Yep makes sense

Really thought Xavi deserved it, not only was he instrumental in Barcelona's La Liga triumph but also took his country to a first ever World Cup trophy.

But at the end of the day it's only an award decided by some panelists (I believe a mixture of FIFA officials and French football magazine editors or something....?), doesn't mean as much as it should to me anywho...

Agreed. If RVP doesn't get a mention after the year he's had he never will tbh.

 

[manimanc]

didn`t paul sholes receive the biggest twat of year award,having a testimonial,gathering all the monies up and then deciding to return to the swamp?

fuckin snidey little ginger tosser...

What a crock of shit. When you look at that list of names and there's fuckin spud head Rooney at the end it makes a mockery of it.

It's all about the BRAND with these fatcats at FIFA and UEFA. Shrek is an image boy who is on the cover of FIFA, even though he scores more goals, is a better footballer, and is better looking than Shrek, Van Persie is not quite fashionable enough to make the "Team of the Year" because he doesn't play for one of the top BRANDS (United, Barca, Real, I suspect Bayern and Milan will be back on the list soon).

 

[bluefandk]

Cleverly got robbed, how this footballing genius didnt win is an absolute travesty!

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

should have gone to Jordan Rhodes...

P43 Gls: 35, Ass: 4.

;).

 

[kiam06]

All the corrupt bastards meeting up to arrange who wins what this year, Rooney in the team of the year give me a break? Sponsors running it and supported by the most corrupt organisation on the planet.

United were there brown nosing though, they ain't stupid.

see the agenda thread. point proven.

ballon d'arse is a back slapping meeting of bent clubs,organisations and general shitheads.

If balotelli scores 40 in a season, builds a whole city in Africa and finds a cure for cancer in the back of his bentley he still wouldn't win it. they'd give it to Phil baresi.
