He won la-liga, won worldcup. The world-cup at just 19yrs old.

What are you saying!

But am afraid, those useless football journalists and writers might give it to rodri.
I no know wetin dem see for rodri body!
Mbappe also won the league and WC in 2018 but didn't get the Balon d'or

Mbappe was joint 2nd highest top goalscorer at 2018 WC but didn't win the Balon d'or. Rest with the Yamal hype.

Mbappe was also 19

Some PSG players won the Ligue 1, Champions League and World Cup with Spain.
So sentiments aside, one of them deserves the Ballon D'Or not the popular names you mentioned

grin grin grin
This is not how it works lol.

One of these players will win it.

Kane, Mbappe, Yamal, Rodri. No PSG player will win it. You can bookmark this post.

The 2026 Ballon d'Or is going to be keenly contested between Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Rodri. Who do you think is most deserving of the award this year?

Personally, me thinks the WC shouldn't be the only criterion to determine who wins the award this year. I mean, it was just a one-month tournament, which took place in the middle of the year; and we have players who have performed right from the beginning of the year.

Therefore, I tip Harry Kane or Kylian Mbappe to win the 2026 Ballon d'Or
it's btw kane and yamal... Mbappe didn't win any trophy last season

wunmi590:
huh

It is very difficult to ascertain from this group, but all eyes 👀 on mbappe.

It's an individual award, so Mbappe tick the box, with most of the record he broke
Harry kane had a better indiidual year and some trophies to show for it

Harry kane

Are you people high? What is Mbappe's name doing here? He didn't win any major trophies.

Also, where is Kvarashkeila on the listhuh?

If not for world cup, the Balon D'or would have been sure for him.

Don't be surprised when Ifantino brings or better still includes his partner

Man U fan spotted, the pain is real

Foden got a wrong call red card from on the pitch ref and for 60 mins Man U could not take advantage of that
foden was rightfully sent off, the only major issue in that incident was not issuing bruno a yellow card as well

But he is not too old to take this and he performed excellently well at the world cup!
For me, Messi will always be the best in any competition he competes in as long as he plays football.

However, I think football administrators are beginning to feel that there's a need to make other players feel interested in playing football. It's likely the reason Messi wasn't given the MVP at the last world Cup even when it was obvious he was the best.

If not for hunger, I wouldn't eat.

In a world cup year. Bdor is determined by those who performed there plus what they did in club football.

Kvara will be lucky to make top 5. He's from a poor footballing nation so it's not his fault. He can still win it by performing in a non worldcup year.

In a WC year, it usually always the player that performed at that tournament , which suggests Rodri has a strong shout.

However, unlike these pseudo football pundits, I don't think Rodri was the best player at the WC ( not even the best player for Spain sef) as both Messi and Mbappe clearly out performed him.

I don't know who I would call the best player in the world, but it is definitely not Rodri
So what happened in 2010??
Re: 2026 Ballon D'or: Who Is Winning The Award Among These Names? by Osariemen12: 8:47pm On Sep 14
Rubbish list 😭😔.

Where are Hakimi and Chukwueze in the list? They deserve it more than any of these players you listed here.

Kvara would be top three bro. The World Cup isn't the only tournament in the world. And why are people mentioning the flop mbappe?

Based on last seasons's performance, Kvara is the best player in the world right now.

Fiscus105:
How Mbappe comes to the scene? Is because of few goals he scored against weak countries in world cup.

How will 9 games in world cup supersede a footballer who performed excellent throughout a year, including world cup?

Stop going emotions wen rewarding hardwork.
mbappe was the top scorer in la Liga,ucl,n wc, that's not an easy feat mind you, mbappe surely deserves the award.

Messi wasnt the best in champions league. Wasn't the best in ligue1 , wasnt the best in copa America...all hype no show

I wont argue much till the award is out.

Top 3 will be Kane, Mbappe and Yamal in no particular order. I expect one of these to win....bookmark the post.

Lol.

Kane did not reach the level of those three guys.

You that is asking what someone smoked and you omitted Kane. You really smoke oo.
Re: 2026 Ballon D'or: Who Is Winning The Award Among These Names? by hopexter(m): 9:18pm On Sep 14
Kvaratskhelia deserves the balon d’or.
Re: 2026 Ballon D'or: Who Is Winning The Award Among These Names? by Love800(m): 9:20pm On Sep 14
He tried sha.

Won FA-cup and capital-1 cup with mancity last season.

Won the world-cup. Best player award at the world cup. And he was also instrumental too in the midfield.

He should be given some accolades. Kudos to him.

But actually sha, me personally no see wetin rodri dey play for that midfield.
The guy na just hype.
Jmichael1:
Truth be told,I no dey see wetin rodri dey play...
Re: 2026 Ballon D'or: Who Is Winning The Award Among These Names? by Bahamas95(m): 9:20pm On Sep 14
Rodri is the luckiest footballer in the world.


I'm yet to see what's so special about him. Even prime Ngolo Kante didn't get this hype.

Lamine yamal wil win it bookmark it
He doesn't deserve it o. Kane or Mbappe. No Messi. He tried but it's Kane's or Mbappe's tome.
Re: 2026 Ballon D'or: Who Is Winning The Award Among These Names? by Love800(m): 9:26pm On Sep 14
Mbappe never get real value and PR dat time. He was still a Jonny just come. Nobody go reason the guy.

I know you will not understand.

Yamal get weight currently because he has won three titles with Spain, came 2nd or third in previous ballon d'or. And he is instrumental in his club. His name is echoing everywhere. Unlike mbappe in 2019.

Mbappe was also 19

Mbape mouth too wide oo.
Re: 2026 Ballon D'or: Who Is Winning The Award Among These Names? by Empresa: 9:34pm On Sep 14
A wold Record for most goals scored in a world cup by Mbappe is enough to give him the title.
Re: 2026 Ballon D'or: Who Is Winning The Award Among These Names? by 43Ronin: 9:40pm On Sep 14
Harry Kane deserves it
