FIFA Ballon d'Or and Panchina d'Oro [P+R]

[kp41]

Btw, I do agree that world cup is 1 month ... but that's the most important month in football every four year and that should be special ... I'm personally against these personal awards but I liked UEFA model few years ego, GK, DF, MF, FW and MVP award.

Also, the voting mechanism should change ... most managers and captains voted very biased ...


Bastian Schweinsteiger, Germany captain – Manuel Neuer, Philipp Lahm, Thomas Mueller

Dunga, Brazil manager – Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Joachim Loew, Germany manager – Manuel Neuer, Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger

Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal captain -Sergio Ramos, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema

Lionel Messi, Argentina Captain - Angel di Maria, Andres Iniesta ,Javier Mascherano

But that's nothing new. Personally I find it both funny and retarded how Messi and Ronaldo praise each other in every interview, yet none of them has ever put the other one in the top 3. Ok, I'm not saying they should put each other on the 1st place because 5 points would give the opponent a big advantage, but at least 3rd option.

Javier Aguirre(Japan's coach) and both Antigua and Barbuda's and Sierra Leone's captains voted for Courtois as the best player in the world in 2014 Kompany did too but it's more understandable.

Tahiti manager voted for Pogba Get him a job at Juve, ffs!

 

[Filipower]

What a couple of arrogant, unsympathetic ****s who only think about themselves and think they're above everyone and hate each other. Bastards.

Cristiano Ronaldo smiles after receiving the 2014 FIFA Ballon d'Or award for player of the year during the FIFA Ballon d'Or ceremony at the Kongresshaus in Zurich on January 12, 2015.

The key word is "smiles"

 

[chygry]

The look on Henry's face.

Economic analysis of the value their teams gain from Ronaldo vs. Messi's goal scoring

Spoiler Alert: Messi wins.

 

[Arnau]

2015 Ballon d'or:

1-Messi
2-Ronaldo
3-Neymar

And Blatter will win FIFA Presidency. Politics, not merit.

I think CL final is very decisive ... If Juve win and Tevez shine, I can see him winning European footballer of the year award ... Also, Barca transfer ban can play a factor if they do shit at the beginning of next season ... Remember two years ago ... Messi had a better previous season but Ronaldo won it mostly thanks to his performance against Sweden and late December goals ...

I really want somebody else to win it even Neymar

Vidal could win after winning the treble and leading Chile to Copa america

 

[kp41]

he doesn't score enough goals to attract voters ...

One funny fact, champions league top scorers won the last 8 ballon dors ...

 

[Mus]

Yeah Messi will probably win it for dragging Barcelona past Bayern single handedly

 

[Dytza]

Messi will win it even if Juve gets the CL

 

[Xaviesta]

This one is Messi's 100%. Ronaldo second, then Neymar. But if Suarez scores in both finals I can see him in top 3.

Why? I can come up with a scenario right away which has Tevez win written all over it. Juve treble which would suit me. He's the top scorer in Serie A? No? Most likely yes. He's been phenomenal for Juve in the CL. A real leader on the pitch who has the ability to change the outcome of some match on his own. A real matchwinner. Now he's back in the Argentina squad as well. Wouldn't be surprised if Agüero gets injured and Tevez takes his place in the starting XI. Argentina win Copa America with Tevez carrying them. Done. This I wouldn't like, Colombia all the way! But the way Sneijder was robbed of his ballondor same could happen to Tevez, he doesn't seem the most likeable person so FIFA could just tell him to fuck off to maintain their "clean image".
