Messi wins Ballon D’or

[Cotontoquinn]

Couldn't care less - the only people excited by such awards are generally duvet dwellers, console w*nkers, Dorito munchers, living with their parents.

Rags??

Real question is who wins Fifa The Best award?

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

These awards just proved to the world how much of an embarrassment they are.

That's what coming in third place and getting your arse handed to you in Europe gets you.

Surely they have now lost all credibility? Players should just boycott this nonsense.

These awards have been corrupted by commercial influence. This year's absurd Messi award must have been driven by his sponsors behind the scenes. Money always talks. The event can't be trusted.

So there saying Jorginho and kante are better than KDB, Fucking ridiculous

To be fair they achieved more than KDB did during the voting period. KDB was unfit for a lot of time. Jorghino was one of the leading players for Italy who won the Euros and Chelsea who won the CL. A Euros and CL double is significant success for any player. It is based on the last calendar year.

past it

The English prem is comfortably the most competitive, pressurised and demanding league, possibly in World football, so impressive stats (on the surface) from one horse town, easy leagues cannot be relied upon as a reflection of achievement and endeavor. To win or do well in the premiership and then to go on and do well in cups, European competition as well as international football is more deserving than being able to conserve energy and boost your stats in an easy league.
Not saying Messi isn't, as you put it, "goat", but not really deserving of the Ballon D'or accolade THIS TIME!

A bit off topic and I fully agree with this.

Closely followed by the Championship which you could argue has more at steak and year on year you can't really tell who will be at which end (apart from WBA)

Arsed. It’s akin to the bbc sports personality of the year award.

Sirloin?

 

[give it to gordon]

A joke

I find the team of the year a joke Chelsea.

City played every match they could apart from one match, the fa cup final.
Won the premiership
Won the league cup
Runners up in CL Final
Semi final FA cup.

It's all about who UEFA think can sell their products best, hence CL winners and Messi.

Messi has done all that in the last year, and here's me thinking he cried his way out of a struggling Barcelona and done next to fuck all at PSG.

No way has he earnt the award in the last 12 months, fuckin farce.

Hardly a farce, I’d have voted for Lewandowski, but jut look at what Messi did over the 12 months, we’ve have got used to his extraordinary numbers and achievements and take it for granted.
So if more voted for Messi I have no problem with it, and other than Lewandowski nobody else came close IMO.
