Media discussion - 2024/25

Not published no, but with over 100 voting, i would imagine its from all over the place. Its laughable, see below, Brazil now claiming European bias, despite Messi hugely undeserving of winning it over Haaland last year.
Rodri won it on football terms, beating a PR campaign to give it to the Madrid crybaby.

The awards, organised by France Football, are based on voting by a panel of journalists from the top 100 Fifa-ranked nations.

Each journalist selects 10 players from a list of 30 nominees, placing them in order from 10th to first.

Galvao Bueno, one of the biggest Brazilian sports commentators, posted a video in his YouTube channel, with over a million of followers, criticising the selection methods.

"It's not just a matter of football, of who plays better; this award has a European bias," he said.

I'm probably biased in saying this, but isn't that because the best players in the world primarily play in Europe?

The first premier league player to win it since 2008. You think the media would be celebrating, along with the premier league. Great advertising opportunity for them, proving you can win the top honours here. Instead all we've had is the reporting on Madrid throwing their toys out of the pram and other crap headlines. They hate us and we certainly hate them.

I honestly thought VVD had won this when the dippers won the *pl

I didn't know they had to get our permission - how the power balance has changed, eh?

Yep they also asked our permission to jib a ride in our plane and we told them to fuck off.

How apt. Winter being described as a floater.

Watch him when he's on the back page review on SSN. Always has his SJA award on the shelf behind him!!!!!!!!!!!!
