Forget league, it is basic. It doesnt count much.

The 2 most important competitions in the year were world cup and the UCL.

Modric stole the show in WC.

CR7 and Salah stole the show in UCL.

It is an unpardonable embarrassment of Messi to get booted out of UCL at QF.

He had WC as second chance but he ended up even awful in WC.

Guys, let us put sentiments aside, Messi has no place in Top 3 in the world in 2018.

Re: Fans React Angrily After Lionel Messi Got Snubbed From FIFA's The Best Award by emae009(m): 3:22am On Sep 04, 2018
smh.... if an award that's supposed to be based on individual performance is now based on two competition that's played in a qualifying other which by the way have their own award then I'm done.... so if we're going to ignore league performance why bother playing the league. everybody can just take a vacation and wait for the ucl to start or the world Cup then

Yes, Griezman had a very fantastic season too and I'm sure he would be in top 5 (don't be surprised if this Messi we are arguing about actually finised 5th like he did in UEFA - FIFA will publish Top 10 after final result).

However, Modric beat him in WC as MVP.

He didn't even play UCL knockout rounds not to talk of beating Salah and CR7 in UCL. I hate to say it, but Europa is for losers. No one wins award by being outstanding there.

In other words, he could not have displaced either of the 3 guys. He may displace Messi to 4th position.

I have been disappointed with this government. But if faced with Buhari and GEJ again, I will keep my vote/support. GEJ was and is no better.

With what I knew in 2015, GEJ needed to go. No regrets supporting Buhari.

With what I have seen now, I wont support Buhari in 2019 but it doesn't make GEJ any better.

this is a stupid take. Messi's individual stats are much better than any of the nominee. Sarah literally just had what Messi would call an average season and suddenly he's ahead of Messi? SMH.

2013 when Ronaldo won only Spanish super cup, lost the league and champion league but was Europe highest top scorer... He was given the award ahead of Frank ribery who wan the Champions League... Messi should have made the list be was the top scorer in the entire Europe with two trophies....

Same thing happened to Ribery in 2013, he won the Champions League, Bundesliga and was still left out Ronaldo on the other hand just won Spanish super cup. He was ahead of Ribery because of the 55 goals he scored. Based on individual or team performance Messi deserved to be there.

In the 2013 champions League and the domestic league was the two most prestigious trophies and yet Ribery won both of them, Was he given the award?? No but Ronaldo that won only Spanish super cup won the award because he was European top soccer on individual performance merit. Messi performed well individually won two trophies Salah is not supposed to be there. He won nothing. Individual performance Messi is ahead of him trophies he's still ahead of him... So what's your point Even coutinho who left Liverpool had a better season. There's nothing compared to the first position. Fifa got it wrong undecided

Some don't even know how this selection was made. Messi won La liga and Copa Del Rey. Does that mean we include DeBruyne because he won premiere league and EFL cup or include Di Maria because he won all in France too.

I would marginally agree with Messi losing out to Salah. Individually, Messi's performance was greater than any of Modric, CR7 and Salah as he put in more consistent high quality displays throughout the season.

However, it's unfortunate that only two matches cost Messi a chance to win the best player award once again:

vs Roma - UCL second leg QF
vs Iceland - penalty missed WC

If Messi had aced those two, he would have pipped Salah and possibly CR7, who was the least consistent performer of the three nominees. Modric would still have been a favorite though.

By the way, I do not agree that Salah had a better WC, despite being half-fit, than Messi. It's not just the number of goals. Messi's solitary goal and two assists carry a greater weight than Salah's penalty and lob. Overall, Messi's efforts at the WC were superior to Salah's.

Because only those obsessed with physic can think Ronaldo comes close to Messi.

if you really know football you can't embarrass yourself this way.

Now let me ask you what wing does Ronaldo play for Madrid?

from 1-11 pick your answer.

You can google it if you want cos I'm sure you don't even know.

You just join the crowd and open your mouth and air the word "Ronaldo better than Messi "

it is not by number my friend (200 coaches), it should be by logic. the award is no longer relevant with the way it is.
saying modric was outstanding at the World Cup and deserved the best player award is even wrong. come to think of it, the highest number of MOTM award won at the World Cup was 3.and this number were won by 4 different players. Griezmann, Kane, hazard and modric. and they all had higher numbers of goals and assist (except for Kane) than modric, griezmann even won the World Cup! and then they give the award for best player to who?.... on what criteria I ask?.... simply on sentiment, cause he was a runner up.
now back to the UCL, if performance over the course of the tournament is anything to go by, it will reflect in the number of man of the match won by that individual....going by this do u know how many MOTM award won by modric?.... none. all his other stats are no where near the trio of MESSI, RONALDO OR SALAH!
so I ask why is he among the top three finalist?.... simply sentiment, cause for a decade the show has been run by two outstanding footballers. I bet if he wins it's cause Ronaldo isn't in Madrid anymore, and most loyal Madrid fans will support their own modric over ronaldo. the same will apply to Barcelona fans, as they will prefer a neutral like modric to win it over Ronaldo, even though he clearly doesn't deserve it, to keep it as a tie between Messi and Ronaldo at 5 awards a piece.
it's time this award follows simple logic than some sentimental votes...or else it will become another useless award given based on sentiment.
