Great100000:
Tell me how Fabio Cannavaro won it then Sir.

CSTRR:
Are you saying someone like xavi Hernandez and pirlo cannot win the balon d'or.?

CSTRR:
He is the brain behind the team.

He plays just above the defense like a regista.

You don't expect him to rack up assists and goals.

ojaysam25:
Do you know that he was the only guy who was indepensible for chelsea last season....no single player plays more games than him... has the highest pass accuracy for chelsea and italy...he did his job for both team excellently just like kante did his...and other players like cr7 and messi did theirs...his only edge is the galores of trophies that he will be winning for club and country.

ojaysam25:
He is a defensive midfielder, you dont expect him to score goals like the likes of lewa, ronaldo and co...he has done his job pretty well for both club and country and integral in their successes...

CSTRR:
Yes, it is.

He was critical in the Champions league and also the brain behind the Italian national team.

If you remove him, Italy collapses.

Yes, he deserves the balloon d'or on his personal achievement especially if Italy wins the Euros.

It would have been kante but France fucckked up.

fergie001:
Noted.....


Paulolee...no die ontop Messi matter oooo....na so you do gra gra chop Lewandowski 8 the other time.

ojaysam25:
According to bbc, a balor d hor penalty send italy through...if italy wins the euros plus chelsea winning supercup and club world cup, just give the guy balor d hor.

paulolee:
oil dey ur head....I don leave fergie for u bcoz his sentiments for cr7 is too alarming....calling players dt were never in d race to win ball on d or because its an euros year..
so jorhinho dt was poor with Chelsea all season would win votes from french journalist n win ballon d or ahead of messi dt was consistent all year....some kind talk eeh

fergie001:
I partly agree.
Then, it was a FIFA Ballon d'Or that involved votes from all over the world and not just Europe.

Messi & Ronaldo will always do their thing here for obvious reasons.


Lewy's performance still best-ed everyone else's.
Infact, he had a better stat than last year....31 matches...34 goals, 4 assists (last year).

This Year....29 matches....41 goals, 7 assists. Only missing thing for him this year was the UCL....didn't he have a fine run like Shevchenko. [Outside International Goals].


Copa America? OK ooooo....
Mbappe is OUT.
De Bruyne is a NO.

Let me ask you, Messi won the Copa del dey just as Neymar won the French Cup. If Brazil wins the Copa, will Neymar stand a chance for the Ballon d'Or? Be sincere.

Great100000:
Ha! After All Years.... Well He Don Win Them Plenty Trophies, Make He Kuku Go To Arsenal Because Arsenal & Free Transfers Are Like. 5 & 6.

fergie001:
You even surprise me by not knowing that Ballon d'Or is a French word coined from the English word..."Golden Ball". The Ballon d'Or started in the 50s while the FIFA Player of the year started in 1991.

You see the problem?
Look at your bolded and quote where I said that?

What I wrote is still up there & I haven't edited it.

I asked you a question and you didn't answer......Did Figo win the EUROs in 2000 before been awarded the Ballon d'Or?

Did Ukraine qualify for the EUROs in 2004 before been awarded the Ballon d'Or?

So, if nobody can displace him with votes why are you praying for him to win the Copa?

Messi got to the finals of the World Cup in 2014, and was MVP yet lost the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

You have summarised it that he must win it.....because he will definitely have votes more than the other. It is now Prayer Time.

Messi didn't have an outstanding season and that is unquestionable....I will root for Robert Lewandowski as my FIRST pick, for obvious reasons. He was Europe's best Player last season & this Season.

The person we are arguing about doesn't even have a club yet we dey tear cloth. Don't let sentiments separate you from the facts, we weren't even arguing but you have turned it into an argument galore.

DoggoneDogg:
A league title compared to a treble is nothing.

fergie001:
I have explained up there what happened between 2010-2015.

It is a long read...go back to the initial pages.

DoggoneDogg:
[s][/s]

Sneijder won treble (league, cup & UCL) in 2010.
Got to the WC final.


Another dumbo.

DoggoneDogg:
The only player I can remember that won the Balon D'Or without winning anything was Messi in 2010.

Stole Sneijder's award after same Sneijder kicked him out in UCL & WC. Robbery.

fergie001:
Will the French Journalists vote him for winning the Copa @ the expense of say, a Kante (who is French) or a Lewy who hasn't won it before yet smashing records in a year that belongs to European football?

Those two are my front-runners.

kenzysmith:
your hatred for england will consume u , I will quote u after harry Kane has lift this trophy who is Denmark to stop the star studded England

kenzysmith:
England will surely destroy Ukraine they should those who have not played to handle Ukraine for me.
Then dey will probably meet Denmark at the semis. Which I expect them to go through

Were they will likely meet Italy or Spain I pray Spain knock Italy out
Do u know Spain are yet to defeat England in their last 13 attempt?
Is coming home at last

izombie:
Arsenal is a mid table team now. How many years ago did you buy auba, lacazzette, even pepe? The worst part is that arteta is your coach. What a disaster it has been for arsenal. Conte is clubless, zidane is clubless but arsenal is sticking with arteta. A manager that finished 8th in the league. Until arsenal is relegated the owners will continue to milk it. Nonsense.

complexBoss12:
Imagine that you have a team, in modern football, you want to compete at the highest levels and you can only mention these 4 as your Best businesses. And as a matter of fact, these 4 guys you mentioned, in their current forms, non of them can bench a player in Aston Villa team.

And you mentioned Man U, Chelsea and City as the only people that spent more, even tho there is no stat to support your claim, because Tot and even Everton has spent good in the last few years, but my question, is it Norwich City, Arsenal is expected to spend more than.

Arsenal doesn't just need good players, Arsenal even needs new name, because they are gradually moving from gunners to unknown gunmen.

paulolee:
they all joined for free because this current barca is broke since after dt covid n d players are even going for wage cut..
wen barca dey spend above 100m on d likes of neyma, coutinho, dembele n even griezman, where ur broke arsenal dey?
arsenal dt was asked to increase their 40m bid for Suarez wen e was about leaving Liverpool and all ur board could do was to add 1m...azin who does dt?
increasing a 40m bid to 41m because na pepper or fish u de price abi?

complexBoss12:
Arsenal will be in his house now, begging him to come play for free. Arsenal will doing that they don't like spending money, till they get relegated, they are now a mid table team.
