And this is the first time I'm hearing FIFA best player is greater than Balon d'Or. How Balon d'Or overshadows something greater than it should be studied

Copa America �.... You can donate your tears to fill the cup to the Brim

No be you talk se make we call you bloody bástard if Brazil lose to Argies?!

Off Season dey reset Brain though. How on Earth Balon D'Or is greater than FIFA The Best Awards?! Is there any Competition greater than FIFA organised Competition?!

Kilishihunter:
Yes you're right, most interceptions at the euros and Chelsea's highest goal scorer though it was filled with penalties, I think he's the massive favorite for the UEFA player of the year and maybe slightly for FIFA the best but for the ballon d or, I don't see how he wants to individually topple Messi and lewy who were the best players in their teams this year and have more juicy stats to offer since they are forwards (sad bias), Jorginho wasn't the best in both Chelsea and Italy though he played key parts in their wins, And chief the Italian journos are just a select few na

you want me to mention all the journalists

Trevor012:
What was your reason in the first place for typing that nonsense

You're still the kid that you are, when you learn how to chat respectfully, I'll engage you.

I don't know why Trevor won't let Patrickmuf rest. Guy go just pick on him as if it's intentional. And I think it's.

Patrick tell us what village you got this nonsense from

patrickmuf:
Fifa world player of the year tops the Balon d'or yesterday, today and tomorrow ...If you no dey sure of something, no dey do strong head if not you no go ever learn...

Jodera:
Nah... It's still the FIFA best player award.

Balon dor gained big time prominence in 2010 cos of its attaché with FIFA award.

Else no won took balon dor very very serious before

We are talking currently,
if saka was to win an award would you prefer he win the best or ballon d'or?

BlueAngel444:
there was never a time balon d'or was higher than fifa best award, balon d'or is like if there's a BBC player of the year award, then becomes popular if merged with EPl player of the year award.

the Ballon d'Or takes into account a player's performances over the course of the calendar year, The Best assesses players over the course of a season, so from summer to summer. The winner of the Ballon d'Or is voted for exclusively by a panel of journalists from across the world. The Best, on the other hand, is decided by what FIFA describes as an "international jury" comprising the coaches and captains of national teams, journalists and fans.

Naturally, the trophies themselves are also different. The Ballon d'Or is a striking golden ball resting on a pyrite base which is made to look like a bed of crystals. FIFA's The Best trophy, meanwhile, is a platinum and carbon construction, which resembles the highest prize in football - the World Cup.


Though Balon d'or, aka, Golden ball started in 1956, is older than the fifa world player of the year which started in 1991, it has more recognition and prestige than the former.

In 1991 the winner of the balon d'or placed second in fifa ranking, same thing in 94', in 96 the award was giving to Matthias instead of Ronaldo who won Fifa World Best, and Matthias didn't even make too three, where players like weah and shearer were recognized.

In the year 2000, that was when we knew balon d'or was a consolation prize, given to figo, who did well but came second to Zidane in fifa world rating.

2001 you now have figo with Fifa award but Michael owen winning balon d'or but missing out in top three, where Beckham was second.

Now the fact Henry didn't win a balon d'or is surprising, Sheve deserved his, maybe Nedved was slightly better than Henry in 2003.


Fifa award and balon d'or most likely combined because of Messi and Ronaldo, imagine fifa giving one of them and balon d'or gives the other one. The debate of which award is higher no go end.

I understand what you are saying, the current FIFA best awards is the highest award on paper currently,

the ballon d'or is more respected currently by players and fans alike, the best awards is different from FIFA world player of the year by virtue of the name.

If not so, why was there much fuss when it was cancelled last year, with Bayern and lewandoski wailing even when lewy won the best men award?

Jodera:
Na wa oo.

Fifa the best award was originally or formally FIFA best player award. What is a balon dor compared to FIFA best player award. It's like comparing UCL and UEL and starts saying UEL is the best. Who dash monkey banana?

Na FIFA sha for merging the two together, else dey for no get this disrespect

FIFA Bleep up for merging, FIFA world player of the year was the most adorned individual trophy, after merging ballon d'or took central stage, with the break out, e go take time for them to get back that respect they had initially.

The boy is annoying...If he was any respectful, I'd engage him but no, he rather blabs...

You go just open your mouth waaaaaahhhhhh

Not surprised you are a fan of ice cold cunt

LostMyZeal:
My point is: Ballon gets more traction mostly cos of the prestige.

And furthermore, FIFa the best award precedes Ballon award.

It's usually after them give FIFa the best that people wait for the grand ceremony - which is Ballon.

Prestige, talk points, Media and all na from Ballon. Capisce

I honestly don't see how they don't get this point.

melodyogonna:

They are still having a nostalgia of FIFA world player of the year.

Bro ... me sef shock.

There's something not right somewhere

KingAlabi:

Currently, I'll prefer saka to win fifa world best over balon dor cos FIFA world best will always stand the test of time... Balon dor won't.

All that's just needed is 3-4yrs from now and they'll be distinct difference between FIFA award and balon dor award clearly.

When such comes, everybody will recognise who won FIFA award in 2021 and not who won balon dor. Just like same way Ronaldinho won balon dor in 2006 but everybody knows about canavaro who won the FIFA world best award

True FIfa fvcked up by merging the two.
Tho I don't know the real reason why they did that, but from 2007, it was almost certain that anyone who won balon dor almost automatically won the FIFA award. In 2007, kaka was clear favorite, same thing in 2008(C.Ronaldo) and in 2009(Messi).

So maybe they just thought that a merger will be better.

But from inception, FIFA award was always the pinnacle of men's football award.

The bolded is what I am saying since now, currently ballon d'or Trumps it, but in the near future it might not be so.

And again, I don't think saka will agree with you Sha.

KingAlabi:

lol.. Really it's not nostalgia.

Before the merger, the balon dor was just strictly "balon dor" award.

When they merged it turned to "FIFA balon dor" award

TrebleChamp:
That Alabi is even in doubt of this fact is surprising. A good example was when CR7 won the Balon d'or at United, it was seen as a normal achievement cos other United players had won it in the past. As soon as he was named Fifa World Player of the Year, the celebration started and he became the first and only Player to Win it in the EPL. Fifa best player and Balon d'or was merged awhile back, but the merger was discontinued soon after. Fifa World Player of the Year over Balon d'or anytime, anywhere....

Alabi no sabi anything na today you know?

Yeah, you have said it all, But FIFA the best awards will need to walk its way to the top again, fans currently no get respect for that award like ballon d'or even when it just a bunch of bias journalists deciding the winner.

I know you are intelligent, but that makes up just 25% of brain, I guess been stupid is the other 75%.

When I mean 3-4 years time, I mean that it's wen balon dor will be finally relegated to the back waters. Now it's still new, that's why that excitement of balon dor is still dragging shoulders with FIFA.

Even lewy is happy winning FIFA over balon dor sef. How much more saka

Jodera:

The FIFA the best can never be compared currently with FIFA best player of the year award.
Even if na the same organization dey give out the awards.

Stop dey mention them in the same sentence

Cannavaro won both Ballon dor and Fifa World Footballer of the year award in 2006. The only year Ronaldinho won it was in 2005.

Scummies swear that Yoonited doesn’t support Ole to excuse the failure of a coach that he is. They are about to get him Varane again, let’s see how it goes.

Yeah... True.

But they don't need to stress to work their way up. The players and coaches already respects balon dor more than FIFA. Na just fans dey think otherwise

Make messi and Ronaldo era end, cos na because of them this balon dor levels full everywhere
