Bros, you are going too far. Forget about better stadium and pitches.

Can you compare picture quality of what we have in Africa to Europe and South Africa?

CAF is the problem of African football.

You nailed it
I can't forget the stress we have to go through since the supersport has stop airing most of our football matches...Africa football still has a long way to go.

Sneijder won UCL that year na!

Ribery wasn't Bayern's best player that year. CR7 and Messi had almost equal records that season but Ronaldo edged it.

Milito and not Sneijder was inter best player

Not Nsofor. I am mixing it. It is Makinwa. I think he was also a Churchill boy who played for Chievo. Not Inter Milan but he moved to Italy together with Martins.

Better season indeed CR7 scored 30 plus league goals that season Ribery 10. CR7 finished 2013 UCL highest goal scorer with 12 Ribery scored only 1 goal grin true true Frank shine well that year cheesy

If you then want to use trophies won please use the same energy to remember Jorginho.


What trophy did cr7 won 2013 ?

He remains the only trophyless ballon d or winner so that shows he doesn’t deserved the award grin

Jorginho was never a competitor for ballon d or ,I told you guys but una no hear word

Yes I already agreed but his cumulative performances in the UCL and the WC should have earned him the Balon d'Or in 2010

Read Bleacher's take on it.

Wesley Sneijder was part of Jose Mourinho's treble-winning Inter Milan team—in fact, was the lynchpin and shouldered the offensive duties alongside Diego Milito. He played a key role in Inter winning the Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the coveted Champions League.

He was promptly named the UEFA midfielder of the year, which just serves as a testament to his consistency and effectiveness during the best part of a successful campaign where his individual performance aided the team to a treble.

His exploits don't end there. After guiding his club to glory, Sneijder reprised his world-beating form for the Netherlands in the World Cup. He was the mainstay of an above average Holland side that contested in the final of the World Cup—to the surprise of many—which they eventually lost to Spain.

However, Sneijder scored five goals and received four Man of the Match awards and fittingly was named the second best player of the tournament.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/535952-ballo-dor-2010-wesley-sneijder-snubbed-by-comic-fifa-in-favour-of-barca-trio

Sneijder best player of 2010 is not a debate. FIFA and their lobbyist know the oath they swore with Messi because I am still trying to find out.

Modric example and that of Sneijder is not the same. CR7 had also won the UCL that season was even more instrumental than Modric for Real Madrid. At the World Cup Modric wasn't the obvious best player of the tournament so how they decided to give him the Balon d'Or only the organizers and people that voted for Luka can decide but don't forget Ronaldo had a rape accusation hanging over his head which maybe scared voters.

Sneijder I repeat performed excellently at two of the biggest football spectacles for that year no one would have batted an eyelid if they had given him the Balon d'Or for 2010

Sneijder lost UEFA player of the season to milito, lost world cup player of the tournament to forlan but deserves ballon d'or.

Modric won UEFA player of the season, won world cup player of the tournament but didn't deserve ballon d'or. Got it. Loud and clear.

Since he was named into euros team of the tournament why was he not named the player of the tournament?

He wasn’t even Italy best player at the euros

Jorginho doesn’t deserve the ballon d or and he is not even a world class player ,only some Chelsea fans thinks Jorginho is world class grin

Chelsea won the champions league and kante and France didn’t do well at the euros that’s why they gave him that uefa award but Na ballon d or una eye Dey ,una no Dey fear ?

Messi was not the best player. Mikel was the best without a doubt. They all knew it. Mikel was the king and stood all through. Even in the final, he was majestic.

Plus CR7 nailed that hat trick in that World Cup. Modric was not the best. The FIFA guys did not want Ronaldo to come close to Messi and they know it.
so because he scored a hat trick in a competition where they were thrown out in the R-16 it shows he’s better than a man who carried his team to the final of the same tournament?

And ofcourse there is always a sad origin for these people looking at Messi's achievements through biased lens.

Either a Nigerian pissed at Messi for his showings against us, or a man u fan yet to recover from the torments Messi inflicted on their greatest ever coach, or a Madrid fan that watched a 19year old Messi pummel them with a hat trick at the bernabeu.

There is always a sad origin for the illogical bias

Mikel '05 was something I never saw in football. He changed my understanding of the game. In that final I was screaming, "Maradona, have you seen how to play the number 10 role?" Keep in mind, Maradona is my best player ever but Mikel showed us a new dimension.

Imagine a player without a goal in open play was to win the best player of the competition. That alone showed how good Mikel was in that tournament.

Then Gbam two penalties. Man of the match, best player of the competition.

I said, Yekpa Alluminati.
