Fifa Ballon D'or 2014 by Badosqi(m): 4:11pm On Jan 08, 2015
Are people still arguing about who should win Ballon d'or?

Ronaldo won the award even before the world cup.

And people are still talking?

What is ballon d'or?

Its an award given to the best player of that calendar on the basis of individual performances(NOTE: individual performance not team performance) of the whole 12 months.


Now lets examine messi...

58 goals 21 assists

world cup golden ball

am I missing anything? I think not.

Messi wasn't even nominated for European footballer of the year,

Only God knows how he made it to top 3 of Ballon d'or


Neuer...

He won the bundesliga

The DFP pokal

The world cup

and the world cup golden glove

The germany best player

Bundesliga best keeper

Very impressive year

Although I feel 2013 would have been a better year to nominate neuer, not Ribery

Bayern won everything and neuer broke many goal keeping records.

he deserves 2014 ballon d'or as well.


As for Ronaldo. Where do I start?

62 goals and 22 assists (Top scorer of 2014)

UEFA champions league

Copa del rey

UEFA super cup

And the FIFA club world cup

La Liga top scorer

Champions league top scorer

European golden shoe

La Liga best player

La Liga best forward

La Liga goal of the season

UEFA super cup man of the match award

Fifa club world cup silver ball

World soccer player of the year

European footballer of the year

Tropheo alferdo di Stefano (La Liga player of the year)

ESPY best international athlete

BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year

Globe soccer player of the year


Lets not waste each others time here,

Ronaldo has no competition for this award

I could mention more awards outside football that he won.


As for those who want to complain about the world cup.

It could have been a strong argument

But ever since Messi won the 2010 ballon d'or without even making it to the semis or even scoring a goal

it gave a new understanding to the ballon d'or

World cup is the best football trophy but its also a one month tournament

the remaining 11 months carries more weight


And I also say this

WHY SHOULD THE WORLD'S BEST PLAYER COME FROM THE WORLD CUP WINNING TEAM WHEN THE BEST PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT DIDN'T EVEN COME FROM THE WINNING TEAM LMAO Sami khedira was the only German to win champions league and the world cup. Maby they should consider him.

Call him gaynaldo, divenaldo, crynaldo, Pele+ronaldo = (Penaldo), or Ronaldo He is surely winning this award.
