George Weah won it 1995. Ronaldo De Lima won it. Rivaldi won it. Zidane won it. These are players of colour. Your point no valid.




Hemanwel:
Even though I believe Vini Jr. hasn't played half of what a lot of players who didn't win the Ballon dor during Messi and Ronaldo era, I think he's the best player on earth today.

I am 101% sure he wasn't given this award simply cos of his skin color.


My submission!

Who's talking stat with u. I said go watch the work rate and hard work of Rodri.
Na Vinicius or Carvajal nor get work rate? So, the Balon d'or is now based on work rate? Lol.. All the times Messi was collecting the award, what was his work rate? Una be clowns I swear.

If you even want to even talk about work rate, Vinicius and Carvajal has a better work rate than Rodri. And what you call work rate is even subjective, that is why it can't be the yardstick for giving some the Balon d'or.

Previous times, it was based on the number of goals scored and/or competitions won. He reach black man turn, them start to use work rate. Lol

Show it let's see, I no know when Carvajal enter the picture from Bellingham to Vinicius to Carvajal Una no even dey stable self, we have been consistent on Rodri winning the award from the onset and it's well deserved
Una be clowns I swear. What is the yardstick for giving Rodri the Balon d'or? Please, I want to know.

Carvajal: Won la Liga, super cup, champions league (MOTM of champions league final, scores a goal), won the euros, won the super league.

Carvajal is being brought up because some people are arguing Rodri won euros but Vinicius didn't win Copa America. So, if that is the case, Carvajal should be the winner (I actually believed he deserved it more than Vinicius and Rodri).


Whichever way una carry am go, Rodri doesn't deserve the Balon d'or. If you want to use number of competitions won, give it to Carvajal. If you want to use number of competitions won, number of goals scored, and overall contribution to the team, give it to Vinicius. E reach black man turn, them change the criteria.

where did you confirm the result please, who releases results for votes cast other than the organizing body, why would you take rumours seriously, why do you live on speculations?

STOP, vini won them the ucl...they were consistently using his wing during attack and he doesnt fail to dribble in and score or assists
Freshtruth:
Even Bellingham made more impact than vinicuis junior let tell ourselves the truth his only crime because he is English if he is from another country vinicuis won't even be in d conversation
Re: Man City Midfielder Rodri Wins Ballon d'Or 2024 (Photos) by Hotspurs: 1:43pm On Oct 29, 2024
messi raised no shit..its this same shitty politics giving him some of the acclaimed balon
Numerouno94:
Messi and Ronaldo have both raised the bar tooo high. Especially Messi the little Magician. He has raised the bar to the peak of "Mount Everest" now we are forced to seeing slightly above average players being nominated for the balon d'Or award.

Football legends like Thierry Henry, Iniesta, Xavi, Ribery, Robben, Neymar, Ibrahimovic, Salah, Suarez, Aguero, Villa, Silver, Lewandoski etc never won this prestigious award. While players who aren't capable of lacing their shoes are now being nominated for the award. A letter of apology should b written to them.

Congratulations to Rodri, the midfield maestro.

Btw, Vini was not being hyped nor considered much for the balon d'Or award, not until he scored an hat trick against Dortmund booooom everywhere Vini, Vini, Vini, Vini. Even from Carlo Ancelotti.

hmmm good arguement

Fake award.....how come Messi no win am this time ....afterall, he won copa ... the reason they gave it to him in 2021 .... or maybe they should have given it to lauturo ... he gave Argentina the title and also won the serie A.... so copa is only important when this useless organisation decides if it will be or not...

Now we can all see that most of those Messi awards were fake ...

he dribbles better than kaka and romario, right now tell me any footballer still playing that dribbles better than vini
APOPTOSIS:
Don't mind penaldians.
They think FootBall is a UFC game😂😂😂
Complain and Fight as usual.
The ReaL Samba Brazilians we know don't quarrel like Vinicius does.
Pendu Fans trained him to be a UFC champion rather than a Samba Brazilian.
Is Vinicius close to KaKa in anyway not to talk of Romario??

My submission!
I don't think so!
I realized there are criterias for Ballon Dor especially 'fair play and conduct category' and believe me Vini lack those traits. I wish you see that dude behaviors and aggressiveness on the pitch. Even I read where Ancelotti said that Vini doesn't listen to instructions and do have issues with his teammate frequently. Apart from Messi and Ronaldo talent and performance, believe me, good conduct also contributed to those prizes they won. I've never hear or see either Messi or Ronaldo having issues with coach or their teammate.
Professionalism and sportsmanship is also part of the game.

If he doesn't change and adjust his characters, he will never win Ballon Dor. Period!

honestly, i never hear of this rodri guy grin

Bacteria8:
Rodri was not the best player for Spain
Rodri was not the best player for Man City
Rodri was not even nominated for best player in EPL

He was not the best player in Champions League.

He was not on the Champions League first 11

But yes, he's the Ballon D'Or winner
grin grin grin

They just wanted to give it to any body so long a Black boy from Brazil who is fighting racism does not win it!

But the people know their champion ❤️

Congratulations Rodri.
Marid and Barca has been on this cup. It's time for English league to taste.
Yes

Cole Palmer will win it in coming years

The young man is a special football talent

Thought Kevin debryne would have done it before now

It's good it came to premier league so that Real Madrid and Barca will stop attracting premier league Best talents

Up coming stars will see that they can win it in the premiership

Not like what Real Madrid did to Chelsea s golden boy Eden hazard

All because of quest for ballon dor
Re: Man City Midfielder Rodri Wins Ballon d'Or 2024 (Photos) by Munashak: 2:24pm On Oct 29, 2024
Rodrys best season was wen city won that tremble but they rightly denied him the award because his fellow team mate haaland was the best player in Europe. But poor haaland, messi had won the copa america even though he had not seen champions league finals for over 8yrs. I mean who has ever won a balon dor from MSL?. It's like saying a person who won afcon and npfl in the same year be considered for the award
This day light robbery didn't surprise me a bit

When people who don't know anything about football open their mouths, you will just know.

Every year the ballon d'or takes place in a year the world cup also takes place, the winner of the ballon d'or is almost always selected from the best player or world cup winner for that year.

Messi won the ballon d'or last year because of his performance at the world and he also won the world cup.

The year modric won the ballon d'or, he had won the champions league and lead Croatia to a 2nd place at the world cup. He was the best player at the world cup. Where was Rodri then? It is only someone who started watching football last year that will be deceived by this stat. Modric won the ballon d'or because of his performance at the world cup and champions league. Same with Messi. This year is not a world cup year and Rodri doesn't deserve it based on the records.

World cup year is always different my guy.

This will tell you that the award has been joke for sometime now.. How can someone win the award and can't make top 30 the next year. FIFA is a disgrace not only to football but to humanity.

If someone leaves the mainstream football and there was no tournament as prominent as the world cop in the current year under review, then it’s possible to go from 1 to below 30.

Euros may not be as popular and appealing as UCL but it is just as weighty.
Re: Man City Midfielder Rodri Wins Ballon d'Or 2024 (Photos) by verdade00: 3:31pm On Oct 29, 2024
Are you OK ? you have to think before you talk .Rodri is better let me explain since you don't think well .
Rodri won UEFA Nations League: 2022–23 was best player of the tournament .
He also won UEFA European Championship: 2024 was also the best player of the tournament.
He won 2022–23 UEFA Champions League and was best player of the tournament.
He was best player in three tournament in a roll .

So how is Daniel Carvajal Ramos better than Rodri ?

True. But Carvajal won the euros too. Including winning the champions league, la Liga,. Super cup and super league.

Whichever way one wants to look at it, Carvajal or Vinicius is more deserving of the ballon d'or than Rodri. Except there are other criteria they are using that we don't know of.

Ps: I was actually rooting for Carvajal to win the ballon d'or. He deserves it most.

What I've seen about u is that u are just sentimental and likely a Madrid and Ronaldo fan and an anti-messi. First of all, all the time Messi and Ronaldo were winning ballon dor no other players stood a chance. If u a close observer of football without sentiment u will understand that Rodri brilliant and exceptional performance and work rate didn't start recently.


Even the season they won UCL that everyone was hyping haaland it was Rodri that was the main man for city. Rodri , de bruyne, bernado Silva were clearly more important for man city than haaland.


The vini jnr u hyping is fortunate to be in a star studded and ever influential Madrid team. Rodri contributed massively to Spain and man city success winning multiple MVPs. Vini jnr could not do the same for Brazil
