Ballon d'Or 2021 | Lewandowski robbed again

I have no interest at all in seeing who a bunch of journalists believe is the best player in the world.

I will no doubt catch who wins it at some point tonight, and it will have no profound effect on the world of football at all.

But each to their own I suppose.

People here seem to discover that 90% of the Ballon d'or is won between january and august when CL knockouts and international competitions occur. Strange.

I don't think a few of them have figured out just yet that that this Ballon D'or is for 2021 not 2020.
 
Striker of the Year? Inventing an award just to let Lewandowski down easily for screwing him over.

Rather between March and the beginning of July.
 
Lewa's top 10 goals of the year highlight reel had about 7 Müller assists :lol:

Müller, of course, being completely ignored again, not even in top 30.

Nobody puts Müller in the corner.
 
Him and Marquinhos are among the most underrated players in the world (Chiesa, Kimmich or Mendy should have been in as well.

If we let you, you will end up with 40 players in your top 20.

He is heavily underrated, i believe it has to do with him not having an style much pleasing to the eye, but he is super effective, very good passer, and great player as well.

Forget about Ballon D'or, bar the podium no one cares about who is 10th or 20th in the nomination.
Plus I'm sure Müller doesn't care at all if some unknown clueless journalist from Faroe Islands, Philippines, or Vanuatu thinks that Jorginho and Sterling are better than him.
 
This award is rubbish but they managed to embarrass themselves here. Giving it to Messi instead of Lewa this year is a complete mockery.
 
UEFA really hate us don’t they? Second Ronaldo joins us and all of a sudden there’s no talk of him getting it. Not seen a single mention of Bruno getting it either.

Maybe ahah, but there's a couple of players i'd have removed. Kjaer, Morena, Modric, Pedri..

Sorry Kjaer but anyone with a medical background knows what he did was absolutely useless.

I think that it is a good idea to have multiple awards for different positions. I mean no defender has won since Cannavaro, right?

Müller is really underrated. The supporting type of players like Rooney always get overlooked.

Well he did nothing this year?
But Messi getting is also a scam, Lewa deserves it this year.
 
Donnarumma boring everyone to death by thanking every man and dog on the planet.
 
It's funny how the best keeper in the world isn't even a starter at his club and someone who's going to be top 3 in the main prize isn't even a top 5 midfielder in the world.
 
I hope Lewa wins it, so I will not have to hear the ridiculous argument of Cristiano fans, who will say, Messi has only won 4 deserved ones and Cristiano should have won 6.

I think its between Lewa and Messi, Messi won Copa so he might be preferred just because of winning a trophy.

People always like a narrative when voting, it doesnt matter about goals scored or an individual level trophies won matter more.

Ronaldo won the Balon Dor multiple times when he was lesser than Messi on the field those years, but he won the CL.

The award isn't about the best keeper in the world, it's about the best/most remarkable performer during that period. He won it for his Euro.

How can you say that, he gave you a great assist this week-end.

Best performer over the year = best keeper in the world during that period, no? I know that international tournament performances inflate these awards but it’s still a bit daft at times and slightly amusing that he’s not starting every week at his club but still winning the award. If anything it shows how overinflated the weight an international tournament performance can have.
 
If they're giving Lewandowski best striker they're clearly giving Messi the main award. Absolute joke if so. Worst season in his career, Ronaldo who isn't even in the top 5 has been superior this year.

The Jorginho thing is definitely mind-boggling.

He won the Copa, why wouldn't he win it? Only other contenders were Jorghino and Lewa. The award criteria stays the same but it looks like each year people understand it less and less :lol:
 
Fortunately I have never cared about this kind of individual award.

Fair enough if I'm in the minority but I really don't care.
