Who the fuck will win this year's Ballon...

>the ballon d'or is the CL trophy
When did it become that way? Did the UEFA marketing team get to zoomer that bad

CL is only relevant when Messi or Ronaldo win it, and possibly Neymar and Mbappe. With all of them out they will give it to the actual best player in the world, which is Messi. If Salah had another season like last year he could have won it, but he hasn't.

Messi and Ronaldo have both won it before without winning the CL, it's just that recently one of them has been winning the CL every year

I genuinely don't think you can call Messi the best player in the world anymore

>When did it become that way? Did the UEFA marketing team get to zoomer that bad
There are lots of domestic league champions, but only 1 CL champion per season

UEFA needed to market an idol rivalry for marketing purposes. Since they gave the last BdO to Modric, it means they don't care about Messi and Rnaldo anymore and instead they are looking for new blood

So? Its a couple of games per year. Why not stop playing football altogether and just have the cup every year? People are just being brainwashed by the Superleague marketing team

>So? Its a couple of games per year
Who cares about the world cup if its just a couple of matches every 4 years?

UEFA aren't even in charge of the Balon D'or anymore, its back to being fully France Football. I wouldn't read too much into the Modric win as World Cup years pretty much always have a winner who played well in the tournament

messi

Salah once he lifts Egypt to the AFCON on home turf

>I wouldn't read too much into the Modric win as World Cup years pretty much always have a winner who played well in the tournament
>Spain wins WC
>Messi wins 2010 BdO despite not scoring a single goal in the tournament
Tsu wins 2014 BdO despite Germany winning the WC and Argentina being finalist
What did they mean by this?

Sissoko la

Why do you think VVD will win it when last year Varane won the CL and the WC but didn't win the Ballon

Who cares? After Modric won last year, it could just as well be Ashley Barnes. The award is nearly as much of a joke as Nobel Peace Prize.

2010 and 2014 were the only 2 World Cups where FIFA had control over the Balon d'or and not France Football

Van Djik has a bigger presence on Liverpool than Varane had on Real

that's because you're a fucking retard
he's a one man-team, without him barca would crash out from the groups

Van Dijk has been more important to Liverpool than Varane was for Real

Exactly, it shouldnt count as the only thing in a football's year

>All of Netherlands convinced their bald dwarf would win bdo in 2010
Just sad LCIM never got one

Kane

IT'S COMIN HOME LA

What if Liverpool wins the CL and Switzerland wins the Nations League?

BASED

>Switzerland wins the nations league

it is a popularity contest, kosovar player will never got it.

Imagine if he does the eagle upon receiving it.

Messi will still win it. Its a reward based on individual performance.

Because he's a man mountain and non stop praised in the media

Salah’s all round game is better, he’s been one of the best playmakers in Europe and scores 20 goals in the league. People are just saying he’s worse because lower goals and he went on a run of not scoring for a month

as long it isn't penaldo i'm ok with every one. mané would be nice, for the memes and such

>portuguese who doesn't like penaldo
that's a first
porto fan probably

They’ve got to give it to a premier league player, fuck me it’s been forever since it happened. They’re dominating Europe this season. I think if Salah didn’t have those eight game goal drought he’d been seen differently. Perspective is everything. Salah would need to play the game of his life in the final to stamp his name on it.

van dijk if liverpool win the cl

unreal in the league
unreal in europe

>They’ve got to give it to a premier league player,
Why have they got to do that?

>unreal in europe
Yes that 1st leg performance against Barca and those diabolical and shambolic performances in the group stage were certainly unreal.

i don't like him because he and his fans (99.99%) doesn't know how to win gracefuly
portugal/ronaldo is like that homeless who won the lottery - you can take the poor from slums but you can't take the slums from the poor

>all these messoys
Holy heckin' cringe

That's a myth

Do you really wanna know? I’m a based tipster millionaire, I’ve already placed a YUUUUGE bet on the next ballon d’or winner.
I placed it after yesterday’s game.
Let me guide you through it.
Amazing League performance; amazing UCL performance and clear cut favourite; probable Copa America winner (UNL won’t count as much, also VvD won’t win it).
The next Ballon d’Or winner will be....
[spoiler]Allison[/spoiler]

Messi will win, but I've got no clue who will finish 2nd and 3rd. This trophy is a joke anyway, anyone who genuiely cares about it is a retard.

It’ll be de light when Ajax win

Son after he wins the champinons

No matter what happens now it will be controversial
1) Messi gets it:
There will be a big number of people who will argue he doesn't deserve it because Barca bottled a 3:0 lead.
2) VVD/some other random player gets it:
There will be a big number of people who will argue that Messi was by far the best player this season and performed well in all competitions - even in the tie Barca got knocked out.

This, desu. It's just a marketing tool.

Imagine if they didn’t rob Ronaldo’s 6th to give it to Modric of all people.
We could have a GOAT showdown for the 7th

Messi gets it for sure, Barca still won la liga and Messi has too good stats.

will be a dutch player if the netherlands wins the nations league
maybe an english player if spurs and england win the cl and nl, but thats a bit more of a stretch

might be VVD
its pure marketing of course but they'll want to build in some new blood now and [spoiler]set up messis final punished campaign [/spoiler]

messi

t.Adrien dos Santos

Messi is the best player in the world and their loss yesterday can't be attributed to him, whereas their lead in the Nou Camp mostly can be. Nobody is going to blame him for their CL exit and the Balloon Door is an individual competition anyway

Tadić

I really hope you mean the hand sign

if Tottenham the Champions win it will be Son

winning the Champions + winning the Asian Cup to be allowed to skip military service.
No one would have done anything more remarkable than him this year

would be funny if he did the eagle from scrubs aswell

Genuinely think the MAN MOUNTAIN will win it.

M A N
M O U N T A I N
so they can keep the fashion of giving the prize to the most worthless member of a winning team

I'M CAPTAIN NOW

>We already know it can't possible be Messi or Ronaldo
4/10 bait, quite weak desu

Now you remember Modric got it last year. Is this BdO even worth anything anymore?

Attached: IMG_7427.png (399x400, 140K)

Messi, Van Dijk and Ronaldo will be top 3 but only Messi or VVD can win

Sneijder lost it even though Messi choked everything.
It will be Messi.

Le FORTNITE cunty manlet.

>This trophy is a joke anyway, anyone who genuiely cares about it is a retard.
So much this. Modric getting Ballon d Perez last year confirmed it being a shallow marketing instrument.

based

it'll be ronaldo after he wins the nations league

top kek pleb, whoever score the most goals in the CL wins the ballon d'or, cr7 didn't get it last year because of the rape allegation

And the winner of the Balcon d'or for the best player in the world is...
>Big Shaq

Messi, although at this point he likely doesn't give a fuck

He deserved it though.
It was a tough call between him Ronaldo and Griezman.

Ronaldo clearly deserved it more, but it was Perez's way of showing him the middle finger for leaving Halal and leaving it in shambles. Ironic how now Zidan wants to sell the "best player in the world" don't you think?
