Clap for urself... I didn't watch Ronaldinho bla bla bla... But I watched him sumtime around 1999 wen dey came to Nigeria to play d youth World cup...
Na only u sabi football OGs..
I bet u also know d Nigerian who played for Chelsea FC wen they were not even as big as Watford et al.. U can hide behind google to answer this sha.
Cristiano is just a great goal scorer...
His foot work is not better than Iheanacho.

2018 was for Modric. He was in all d finals Ronaldo played that year, n he went one better... D he got to d BIG world cup final, Ronaldo got kicked out early... He had to run to Juventus to get media attention.

Playing world cup semi in those days under d wings of Figo.
We r talking of d main players, not passengers.



What u posted shows u are simply a teenager... at no point was Chelsea like Watford in the 90s... they were always top 5....man united, arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Leeds, Newcastle... I fit bet say u no know who de drag shirt with babayaro... make I even test u...when Chelsea played barca in 2000 , what significant thing did babayaro do??

Balloon award wey French journalist sit down for their parlour and decide who to give. FIFA award is more authentic because FIFA is an oganization or better still an Institution. Compare balloon to Dubai award they are the same they give who they love while FIFA gives who merit it

Correct...but the ref dint officiate badly ooo... he got a red card for fowling Figo...Figo set him up for telling him to 4k off ... kluivert was fowled in the box but still ended up scoring in extra time, but the goal was cancelled cos the ref had blown for a fowl...Rivaldo ended up missing the spot kick.. they still sha won the game 5.1...

BBC is a media name or let's say company name , now mention that of BD .

I asked you again why footballers themselves are dying to win BD over FIFA? have you heard Caf once emerged the award with BBC before same way Fifa did with BD?

BD is what players needed most start by asking yourself why that. which player care about BBC award over CAF award ?

So, BD isn't a media award ehhhh? See, as BBC award is to BD, so CAF award is to FIFA. As a player of football, the highest and most prestigious award is given by FIFA who's in charge of all footballing activities in the world. Or you don't understand the word prestigious

They're both media awards. One is just popular than the other, simple. You said they award the best player each... So, are they the organizers or coordinator of the game to give the best football player award each year? You should have known than sometimes, different player wins the award same year. But the best player in the world for that year will be recognized by the FIFA award only. Every other awards are good but they're secondary

Funny enough when kids always brags and make noise online. To know a kid is simple they always talk about age instead of the subject matter, even if you are 100yrs you still behaves like 12yrs old and is very unfortunate for you..

I've proven to you even from the players, from all research done even before fifa award the prestigious ballon BD has been there, you won't bring any evidence to deny that because you have none all that matters to you is Age, my mother and my father,

Why players themselves rated BD so high and even fans should be your headache not age and when father and mother met, you can keep crying about age while I keep dealing with you with facts and figures.

But d fact remains, Cristiano Ronaldo is just an undisputed great goal scorer... Nothing more.
Lionel Messi, Dinho, De Lima, Zineden Z, Jay Jay even Salah n Simon Moses r better ball players.
Can Ronaldo even romance d ball like Eden Hazard did in Chelsea?
Before u talk abi type, google ur Ronaldo, n his first mission in Man utd. Don't come here to tell me he is now an ancestor. Dude has never pressured d ball. Hazard even got more man of d match awards, to show dt football is not just abt d goal scorer.

U can never understand cos u are a child... how can an award organised by a French magazine that only allows journalists to determine the best player better than FiFa , the organisizers of global football that allows coaches and team captains to vote who is the best... which seems more logical to u?? Even a baby will say fifa ... balon d'or only became prestigious in 2010 when FIFA merged with them ... if in 2010 after the both merged , if it was called fifa player of the year de balon award with fifa maintaining the same plaque which the gave winners of the fifa awards , instead of the golden ball plaque , dont u know balon dor wud hv died off the moment fifa pulled out in 2016... again this period of social media helped balon dor... there is no difference between balon dor and the like of BBC awards , espn awards , dubai global awards , they are all same... how can journalists determine the best player... the glamour than comes with balon dor during their events were never there, it started when fifa merged with them... balon dor used to announce their winners just like BBC back then , then invite the winner to claim his plaque

Na now I know say u get oil for head. U nor be smallie.
Y I mentioned Denmark game was d fact that me n my friends then bragged with it.
We so much believed in Peter Ruffai (he was d goalie before Ike Shoromu... Don't know if I spelt it right). In Taribo West, aka d juju of Africa, we had confidence. Sunday Olise, Jay jay Okocha (then he used to dye his hair)... Kanu was our poster boy, after d olympics.
We were confident, me n my friends.
Only for us to start conceding.. Jay Jay kept dribbling n we were initially hailing him until we realised that instead of equalising, we were conceding.
Luckily for me, I managed to eat small tin before d match, if not I wouldn't have been able to eat again dt nyt.
Then NEPA took light, cos obviously d NEPA officials were watching.
Imagine, nobody in my street protested. We were in shock.... D entire place felt like a grave yard.
Na radio we take hear of d consolation goal.
In those days, everybody had strong passion n belief in our boys.... Nowadays, it's just passive.

As for Paraguay, with that their goal keeper that always scores... Chilavert or sumtin..
National games were d bomb before sha.. Not now.

Bt back to d issue, goals must not determine d best player. There r other considerations.
Ronaldinho, Zizou, that Italian player at d 2006 world cup were not d greates goal scorers, but they became d best players.
Nowadays, somebody can stand through out a game, others will labor... At d end he gets a header or a tap in or a shot or a penalty... Suddenly he is more recognised than others who sweated.
Remove d likes of Modric in Madrid as at 2018, n Ronaldo wouldn't win those trophies.
One person mustnt take d glory for d hard work, except d person has produced more than goals.
Check out Man Utd ryt now. The team is not too happy. They don't seem to want to sweat for him to take d glory, cos he doesn't track back to pressure d ball.
Last season, they were rising.. This season, they started falling.
This is d FACTOS.

We so much believed in Peter Ruffai (he was d goalie before Ike Shoromu... Don't know if I spelt it right). In Taribo West, aka d juju of Africa, we had confidence. Sunday Olise, Jay jay Okocha (then he used to dye his hair)... Kanu was our poster boy, after d olympics.
We were confident, me n my friends.
Only for us to start conceding.. Jay Jay kept dribbling n we were initially hailing him until we realised that instead of equalising, we were conceding.
Luckily for me, I managed to eat small tin before d match, if not I wouldn't have been able to eat again dt nyt.
Then NEPA took light, cos obviously d NEPA officials were watching.
Imagine, nobody in my street protested. We were in shock.... D entire place felt like a grave yard.
Na radio we take hear of d consolation goal.
In those days, everybody had strong passion n belief in our boys.... Nowadays, it's just passive.

As for Paraguay, with that their goal keeper that always scores... Chilavert or sumtin..
National games were d bomb before sha.. Not now.

Bt back to d issue, goals must not determine d best player. There r other considerations.
Ronaldinho, Zizou, that Italian player at d 2006 world cup were not d greates goal scorers, but they became d best players.
Nowadays, somebody can stand through out a game, others will labor... At d end he gets a header or a tap in or a shot or a penalty... Suddenly he is more recognised than others who sweated.
Remove d likes of Modric in Madrid as at 2018, n Ronaldo wouldn't win those trophies.
One person mustnt take d glory for d hard work, except d person has produced more than goals.
Check out Man Utd ryt now. The team is not too happy. They don't seem to want to sweat for him to take d glory, cos he doesn't track back to pressure d ball.
Last season, they were rising.. This season, they started falling.
This is d FACTOS.

U are absolutely right when it comes to goals not being a factor fir winning balon dor....but it all started with messi.... we know back then it wasn't like that... thats y I am always against messi fans cos they are hypocrites... this goal thing started with messi... messi won 2010 balon dor based on goals, thats how it scattered.... iniesta or Sneijder deserved it more... in 2012 , Ronaldo deserved it more than messi it cos he wrestled la liga out of dominating barca after 3 years, iniesta deserved it more than Messi cos he won Euros and scored in the final , but they gave it to Messi cos they said he scored most goals and broke mullers record ....in 2013, they also planned to give messi for winning la liga , but when Ronaldo also scored the highest number of goals, they had no choice but to give Ronaldo, thats y when people talk about Ribery being robbed, I laff cos Ribery even finished 3rd... Ronaldo surpassed expectations and it really pained that, that why they attack him till date... in 2018 he deserved to win it, but just cos they dint want him to surpass messi , they denied him and instead gave modric and overlooked his goals , but dint overlook messis goals in 2010 despite playing with an iniesta that won the world cup... thats y I will always say messi is overhyped.....if he was better, he wud hv won more champions league and wud hv had more goals than Ronaldo.... dont forget Ronaldo played for a midclass Portuguese side... Ronaldo's hatred started in 2016 after he won the Euros , thats when the attacks started...

Lol...talking about Nigeria Denmark....we actually tit Denmark wud b a walk over cis we defeated Spain, we were looking forward to a Brazil vs Nigeria quater final...but we no know say na suegbe coach we carry, Bora militunovic ... but we should hv known cos the man was good at winning games we felt we wud loose but lost games we tot we wud win...na the coach way b dat
