Beverlyjean: You can continue wailing since you don't understand that the award was voted for by national team captains, coaches, journalists and fans. If you feel that Messi did not deserve them why was mbappe doing in 3rd position of not because of the world cup euphoria! Please someone bring a bucket for penaldo to start donating tears as usual. Their oga don drop motivational quote on IG ![]() ![]() ![]() |

OJEEMAH:he had the same point with haaland, but they chose to create a rule that made him win even when he isn't among the best last year. They could have used any other criteria to select the best among the 2 but they chose captain instead. Like captains know the better player like coaches do. 2 Likes |

Re: OFFICIAL: Leo Messi Wins The Best FIFA Men’s Player 2023. by ThierryJay: 7:41am On Jan 16 |
OJEEMAH: Absolutely. I remember a lot of people here did not have clarity on the voting rules when the award opened and I even had to go and read through the Fifa brief to understand the criteria. Did they think many of those football captains have that patience? They should have kept it simple. |
Re: OFFICIAL: Leo Messi Wins The Best FIFA Men’s Player 2023. by Patosky4U: 7:45am On Jan 16 |
tuzle: See how low you bring yourself in a public forum saying they choose to bring a law to make Messi win. Ask yourself this simple question. Was the law created this year to benefit Messi? Or after a transparent democratic vote and a winner is chosen then FIFA will say because of some little penaldu we should not award the rightful winner ![]() Untill we get to 10 awards before we allow any player touch that award again. So be ready to cry blood because as e dey pain Una e dey sweet us |

Patosky4U:there has never been a tie, so the rule was obviously created this year. Be sincere with urself as a Messi fan, what did he do last year to win it? Just tell me one thing he did better than haaland or even mbappe or even rodri self that made him win it? 2 Likes |

obonujoker: Here's my message to all those Brainwashed, crying Rigged, illiterate bandwagon fans, here's some insights and facts for them. (1) Firstly the insights- this award is vote based i.e captains, coaches, media and fans of national teams vote for it, and yeah fans votes got Messi to a tie breaker with Halland and Messi won it because of more 5-points (1st position votes) by national team captains (as per the award rules already existing). (2) Facts - captains of all 7 national teams that Argentina faced in the world cup- Saudi Arabia, Mexico,Poland, Australia, Netherlands, Croatia and France -ALL OF THEM VOTED Messi as #1. Yes, you heard it right Madristas - Modric voted Messi as #1 (and so did Mbappe Van Dyjk, Lewa and others). Btw, another Madrista voted Messi as #1 - Federico Valverde, were they paid by Fifa to rig the awards? Saw some of the English fans (and many Liverpool fans) getting hyped up in some posts, here's one for you- Harry Kane voted for Messi, so did Salah and Andrew Robertson. So ask yourself before mumbling "Rigged, Fifa paid, blah blah and coming out sounding dumb, ask yourself- How is this Messi's fault? My man Messi voted for Halland as #1 and Mbappe as #2 btw above his team mate Julian Alavarez (as number 3). Yes, ofcourse the voting could have been better and should have helped Halland win it (as a Messi fan, im again saying this) but how is this rigged? So, once again all these Messi haters who are shouting at Messi fans on all these posts, they should shout at Modric, Federico Valverde, Salah, Andy Robertson, Mbappe, Harry Kane, Van Dyjk and many other captains as well. Respect and Peace! 1 Like |

Beverlyjean: Errmm BJ, just to let you know that it's your fave team players that gave Messi the win. There was a tie with Haaland, and whoever had the higher captains votes was used to select the winner. 13 captains voted for Messi while Haaland recorded 11 captain votes. Well, the tie breakers were Modric, Valverde and Mbappe himself. So direct your queries to them ![]() ![]() ![]() cc: obonujoker, Ojeemah, Real Madrid won this award for Messi ![]() ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share

Abi shey they want Messi to kill himself ni for an award he didn't even want ![]() Haaland should just go and wash his head African style cos it seems he is an award-repellent at the moment. This is the first time a favorite has been clearly usurped. Fifa should have extended the deadline like they did for Pendu in 2013 to force Haaland's win. 1 Like 1 Share |

Lionel Messi is just the best football player of all time. Simple. The harder u deny that fact, the more painful it will be for u. I don't understand d haaland hype. Man city has been performing well since he's not been playing. KDB and Rodri are d real MVP for man city. A fact all the coaches and captains know very well. Real Madrid has also been performing well since tapnaldo exit. Barca has been struggling since messi exit. So where is the hatred for messi coming from? I don't just understand. |

Awards are subjective. Messi and Haaland were tied with 38 points so they used the votes of the national team captains as a tie breaker. It's Haaland for me but it's not Messi's fault that people love him. If Haaland stays humble and hungry, he will win many. Congrats to Messi. 1 Like |
