Now I get you are demented. The Euro tourney is independent just as the Nation's League is independent. This is about the first time any continent would have two tourneys other than their main. You claim there is no automatic qualification into the Euro tourney for winning the Nation's League. Was there any any point I mentioned this? You used the FA and EPL as your case study which clearly shows you are out of touch with this subject matter, perhaps there is an automatic qualification into the World for winning a continental tournament. Your cluessless is dumbfounding!

What are the benefits of Copa America or the Euro? Does it guarantee you an automatic spot into the World Cup? The DEFENDING CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD CUP NO LONGER GETS AUTOMATIC QUALIFICATION AND YOU ARE BLEATING THIS RUBBISH with all arrogance and Stupidity. Should we then argue that the World Cup is a World Friendly tournament?

The biggest goat alive.
Benefits of winning the Euro and Copa America gives you a spot in the confederations cup Goat.
Mention one benefits for winning Uefa nations league cow?

If there was a chance someone might give messing serious challenge,it had to be a Man City player, say Sterling (EPL,FA cup, EFL) or Bernardo Silva(EPL, FA cup, EFL and UNL). It is surprising they aren't in the reckoning for the top 10.
In my own opinion, Sterling was the best player in the premier league last season, he was terrorising defences from the first day of the season to the last, his goals,assists, workrate, runs, dribbles are breathtaking. VVD won it based on hype.

The best Liverpool option would have been ALISSON BECKER (UCL, Copa America),EPL, UCL and Copa golden gloves too, but the VVD hype has blinded them from seeing the obvious.

I still maintain that it is no big feat for a CB to be undribbled all season, I'll be impressed if it was a FB or DM.

Pique has won the treble twice, Ramos and Varane won three consecutive UCLs, Varane even won the UCL and world cup last summer as the mainstay of both Real Madrid and France's Defense, so what has set VVD apart to be considered the best player in the world?? IMHO, he isn't even the best player at Liverpool. I agree he should be in the reckoning, but to say he deserves to win.....

The FIFA state it that for you to be the world best you should play for different team ?

No profession states that but it's an edge we all know at some point of our career to rejevenate it. It's human to seek more challenges and fronts at a peak. It draws you close to a perfectionist.

Because in each of those years those monsters played, Messi and Ronaldo overshadowed them.

No one would give Pique best player for winning a treble when Messi is there. No one would Varane or Ramos best player for winning three consecutive UCLs when Ronaldo is there.

Last year Salah made the cut ahead of VVD because he was unplayable. This year Salah and Mane didn't really have the edge over VVD. And Messi and Ronaldo were not in the Final.

Seriously, Ronaldo had more goals than Salah and Mane in the UCL even though he had a red card and crashed out in the QF.

Trust me if either of Messi or Ronaldo had gotten into the final, VVD would not be in the top 3.

Context dude, context!

You have no point. Messi, a player who has won multiple Champions League and destroyed the likes of Arsenal, Man Utd and Bayern Munich has failed to work outside Spain?
Who is the man that has replicated dominance across continents? Surely not Ronaldo cos he has done next to nothing in the World Cups he has participated in. He won the European Championship and UEFA Nations League with Portugal, all within Europe. So where's the dominance across continents please? Stop talking nonsense. Messi has played the final of the World Cup with Argentina in 2014 where they were unlucky to lose to Germany because idiots like Higuain refuse to step up. The National team trophies you guys attribute to Ronaldo, he was no where to be found in the finals, other players stepped up- Eder in 2016 vs France in the European Championship and then Bernardo Silva and Guedes in the UEFA Nations League final 's Netherlands this year.

Liverpool lost like 3 times with VVD in the UCL last season including a 3-0 demolition by Messi led Barcelona, even the 4-0 reverse wasn't because of any outstanding performance of his, it was due to Coutinho and Suarez's wastefulness, the defense was split by Messi's passes time and again.
