Does anyone actually give a crap who wins??
The players definitely do.
Ballon d'Or 2021 | Lewandowski robbed again
- Thread starter Samid

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
The players definitely do.
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.
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.
Cringefest
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 
Müller, of course, being completely ignored again, not even in top 30.

Where can someone watch this live?
its really embarrassing on their part also what even is this design?! looks like a fusion between a pizza box and a plate...so lazy
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.
Lewa looks like a really grounded guy
I hope he wins this

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?
Ronaldo only in the top 6
I like it...
Thank you so much
Or....maybe....Ronaldo didn’t deserve it?

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.
Salah robbed
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 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.
What?
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.
He's an Everton fan. They can't buy an assist like that at the moment.
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.
Kante in the top 5 because he is a nice guy.
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
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.

Jorginho's highlights include a backpass.
