Congrats to Lionel Messi for winning 2023 FIFA best

The Legend and GOAT

Halaand ruled 2023...but they still gave it to someone that did nothing significant last year....

The Bandit 😂🤣

THE BEST AMONGST ALL EVER

If it's Ronaldo now this thread would have been at the front page by now Lol

I disliked Messi less when he destroyed our chances of winning the Champions League in 2009 and 2011 than I do at the moment for winning undeserved awards.

This whole thing is nothing but a fûcking joke.

1 goal in the MLS which does not even count, 9 goals in the French League for the whole of 2023 vs KDB, Rodri, Haaland that dominated their position and won the treble.

Ruled, ruler, measurement tape.

It was voted for by coaches, captains journalists et al.
Messi n Haaland got equal votes... Wen this happens, according to FIFA, a tie breaker is used.
The person with d higher votes from his fellow footballers (in this case captains) wins.
It shows that his fellow players kno who their king is..

pls help check on Ronaldo n his sister.

Congratulations to Lionel Messi.

What will pain Ronaldo fans the most is that they have absolutely no argument to fault this because result of the votes is out in the open for all to see.

I can see Beverlyjean abi na Billy Jean up there is already lost for words and scratching her head to compose even a scintilla of antithesis to prove why Messi shouldn’t win. Watch how her likes will shout “rigging” even when the results are out for them to see.

The average Penduan would prefer Alvarez, Haaland, Giroud or even Lukaku to win ahead of Messi.

If this were to be a car, it would be called “End of Discussion”. In Mortal Kombat, it is called Brutality. In Tekken, we call it K.O.

Barca lost Messi won I’m pleased 😀

Hmm, to be candid, I never experred this.

Since there's a tie, I think this should have gone to Haaland.

The blame is on Fifa though confusing the voters by fixing the voting period to commence from 19th December just a day after the WC ended. This made many of the voters to still consider the WC cos there's no way only Lique 1 trophy and MLS cup will give Messi an edge over someone who won an European treble.

The Fifa award really fell off in its organization. None of the 3 contenders even attended. Ballon D'or has been the real deal for a while now.

Still nonsense....he doesn't even deserve to be among top 30... he did nothing last year.... Rodri, debryna , halaand , vinicious , Bellingham, salah , saka , odengaard , son , alvarez , mbappe , kane , oshimhen, leao, karashnikrevas, Gavi , Gudungan, benzema , martinez( inter) , bernando silva , grealish, Ronaldo, all performed better last year

But the Argentine coach that won the world cup wasn't even nominated for coach of the year....

Can someone pls explain to me how Messi won it this year. Yes Messi is an all time great but what criteria did they use to award him this year? The fact that Messi and haaland had the same point but they still game Messi imagine robbery.

fifa created the rule yesterday so Messi can win it, why does captain as to be the tie breaker because they want Messi to win it. Be sincere with ursefl what did Messi do last year to deserve fifa the best? Only deluded Messi supporters will support this robbery and try to give reason why he won it.

Messi didn't deserve this award since fifa the best is for best performer of 2023 which Messi wasn't among. If not Argentina coach should have been the best coach, mertinez best keeper. All because they want to give Messi award they made captain the tie break. Why not coaches? Blind fans want to tell me Messi did better than haaland in 2023 abi. Next year they will give him fifa best again and till point back to the world cup that was 2022.

Maybe the people giving these awards think that our skulls are filled with cow dung or something...😕

Ronaldo already has 5 each... Nothing to worry about

The only real G.O.A.T,

Messi won on tie - breakers , he and Halaand were tied on 48 points but Messi won because his votes came more from team captains and fans , so says the report, while that of Halaand came from managers.

The rule has been there even before the award.

Congratulations to the winner, anyway i.e
Lionel Messi.
