U don wake

u neva knew

emeijeh:
Good for them.

Ronaldo should have at least showed up

pride

LordAdamX:


Personally, I don't think it's that big a deal. But I understand why others would see it that way.

Contenders don't show up all the time for award galas in the entertainment industry, no one gives a sh*t and those are not even as competitive as football. It's about Modric not Messi or Ronaldo.

-Lord

You know football is quite different from the entertainment industry cus many things can make a musician or an actor not to show up...e.g having a performance or being on tour and shooting movie....let's leave this story for another day.

What do you think of FIFA making it known to award winners that they'll be winning cus thought it was supposed to come as a surprise?

And lastly,I think this shows that Sneijder was robbed in 2010 cus his feats surpassed that of Modric's and still the award was given to Messi.

What’s the difference between the Ballon d’Or and FIFA Best Player Award?

It never comes as a surprise. Award winners are told ahead of time every time in nearly all facets of modern civilization. Remember your class valedictorian, s/he was told ahead of time to prepare a speech.

A lot of people have been robbed over the years. Like it's a long list stretching to before the start of the CR7-LM10 era. I'm just glad Modric didn't join the list.

Because if CR7 had won, the complaints would have continued for two weeks at most then it'd die down. Everyone will move on. He deserved it, he got it, case closed. Unto this season which is shaping up to be a cracker. Neymar, Mbappe, Messi, Ronaldo, Salah, KDB, Hazard could all win domestic doubles, so UCL will be the determinant of if the Ronaldo-Messi era has truly ended or if this is just a blip on the radar.

Modric will not even be in the top 3 next year. That's why it's important he won this year. It's like Kaka winning in 2007.

LordAdamX:


Mumu was that picture photoshopped, yes or no?

You explicitly said Ronaldo NEVER attended the awards gala when Messi won. I showed you proof, you are asking me to read Goal. Don't quote me again, take your L quietly, and live to argue another day.

-Lord

Sure bro....nice one.

Kingsley1000:
all these kids sef
he was the best player in the world cup



world cup and UCL which one is more superior


I bet you are below the age of 25

Oga you are the one that is a kid here. Messi was not the best player at the 2010 world cup. They were eliminated at the round of 16. I bet they have birth to you in 2014 .

Kingsley1000:

lol...ure a disgrace ..He answered you with proof, but you still wont stop typing rubbish.

joshuaidibia:
Oga Juventus get midweek match, you don't expect Ronaldo to fly to England for the award and get back and train. If him get injury cos of jetlag Shey u go happy. We all know he doesn't joke with his training. Even on after their Saturdays games, dude still trains on Sunday alone when others aren't there.

so only Juventus has a midweek match? Other clubs don't and Madrid don't also have a midweek match

Cajal:
...modric was obviously better than the duo..
Remove goals ...what else
Thiery Henry scored goals he was not recognized

Ronaldo and Messi still had more chances created for their teams than Modric.....

Kingsley1000:

Then why did Messi win in 2010, and Ronaldo in 2014

What do you think about these pics

congratulations to him

i think he showed up, and was looking very pale, when the winner was called up

LordAdamX:


Messi should also have at least showed up. After all Ronaldo showed up to virtually all the awards Messi won.

Ronaldo voted for Modric and Varane, Messi voted for Modric and Cristiano. Not showing up takes nothing away from Modric's achievement or their respect for him. Stop making mountains out of molehills.

Who is this kid that just started watching football last year that is abusing others.

Argentina �� lost 0-4 to Germany �� in the round of sixteen so tell me how Messi was the best in the world cup. Messi did not even have one short on target in that match.

Messi won La liga and Copa de Roy, Sneijder won treble (Champions league, Serie A and their local cup) and was in the finals of the world cup with Netherlands �� which was defeated by Spain �� 1-0.

Stop abusing others while showing your ignorance

donbenie:
Messi was NOT nominated for the Best Player Award,therefore his not showing up is much more excusable than Ronaldo not showing up and should not be dragged into a conversation on why Ronaldo didn't show up..

Was Marcelo, Dangote and Otedola nominated for the best player award before they showed up.....my friend suspend!

This one weak me "jetleg".

The EFL is back!!
Derby look to pull off an upset against Manchester United when they pay a visit to Old Trafford in the EFL Cup. Frank Lampard will be hoping his return to Old Trafford would mirror one of his many memorable visits there as a player.

I hear you,so if Ronaldo had a REALISTIC chance of winning he would not have made it to the Awards?, ALL the times over the years he was in serious contention and attended there were never mid week matches to be Played?

Auladimeji:
Ronaldo fans right now

Nice one,congrats to you guyz.

Real Madrid and Croatian star, Luka Modric was crowned world player of the year, bringing an end to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's decade of dominance, pictured beside him is Marta, Fifa Women's player of the year as she wins it for the sixth time.

That's exactly the issue,haven not been nominated it was not MANDATORY for Messi to show up,Ronaldo was NOMINATED and that makes it MANDATORY for him to be at the Awards..
