SMH..... But winning UCL only can make you the best? Winning World Cup and UEFA super cup can't even if Europa league can't produce world best?
Yes, the quality of opposition matter.

When did modric score any helpful goal?
...what are you saying?... He is presently the world best midfielder and you expect him to score goals like a striker, is that his work... Xavi and Iniesta were scoring goals abi... Modric has been the engine room in Real Madrid and you don't expect Ronaldo or Madrid to be winning if modric was not instrumental in everything they do... Moreover modric won best player in the world cup and the world cup is FIFA no1 competition...so what are you saying

Europa been lesser than UCL isn't a reason at all. Sallah won nothing, Ronaldo and Modric won only UCL. Grizeman won World cup, Europa and UEFA super cup while been second on the table. This is total robbery on the person of Grizeman. He even scored in the finals of all these competitions. This is a complete robbery
Sallah played in UCL, anything Europa has never and will never make the shortlist. Check history

Still surprised Griezmann isn't in the final list, I mean is FIFA high? A World Cup winner, he performed in Europa league and also won the super cup. He is a deserve winner for this.

Salah has no business there as he didn't win anything. Imagine Ronaldo having Griezmann performance and miss out? Is that even possible?

It will make no sense for someone that only perform for 3 or 4 months out of the 12 months in a calendar year to win the award.


Honestly, this is blatant robbery on his person. His agent, fans, coach, club, social media personnels should with high urgency dismiss this list and call FIFA out for this fraud.

The bolded is exactly what has been happening In the last three years, late February to May. Score lots of goals to pad the stat and then you are the best player of the year. It should be changed to best player for 4 months then it will be perfectly understood.

Do you read to understand or you just want to back and forth messages? So his world cup meant nothing? If Europa is that so then it should he scrapped or another body should handle it. What about UEFA super cup. Atletico were also second in La Liga

You claimed the world best is an individual award based on indiVidual performance. I then asked whether Ronaldo had a better year than Kahn since he missed over 7 months out of 12 due to injury, and the only tournament to assess his individual performance was the world cup in which Oliver Kahn won the MVP. So how was Ronaldo better than Oliver kahn individually in 2002 if not for winning the world cup?

It is not highest goal scorer award. It is not just about goal scoring. Since ronaldo left Madrid, madrid strikers has been firing on all cylinders. Modric got his team to WC final trashing Ronaldo Portugal enroute

Lol

I still wonder why modric name is there... He did absolutely nothing to be there...

In the Champions league, it was Ronaldo that helped push the team, evicting Juventus that almost killed them..

In the world cup, manduzic and Rakitic were helpful...

Griezman won the world & Europa league...

So why should Modric win the world best player?

U obviously did not watch the CL last season neither did u watch the World Cup to say Modric does not deserve to be there.

They were looking for a way to squeeze Salah in and since Messi is the gentle guy that will not cry aloud and complain they decided to use him as the scapegoat. After winning league and Spanish cup and European golden boot. Griezmann isnt even in bullshit. Even if they want to give it to Modric, Griezmann should be in the top three. That award is meant for Griezman or Modric but the award is now a popularity award based on size of fan base

I wasn't aware that Salah has more fans than Greizmanngringrin

Eyptians and Muslims all over the world are really trying for the guy.

Champions league is bigger than la liga and copa del rey put together.

This year is about champions league and world cup.

Any other trophy is too small to FIFA.

Which warrants a trophyiles CL finalist Sallah to be on the list

It is done by voting.

Coaches, captains, sports directors casted their votes and Modric, CR7 and Salah had more votes than Messi and Griezzy.

There is nothing fraudulent here.
It is by voting not outright decision.

Btw dont underate Salah's ability to win massive votes.
That guy is an icon in the Arab world.
Millions of muslims are always backing him.
