but curious to know, why did you put Yamal as poor or bad worldcup?
Not against it, but curious to understand why you say so.
BALON DOR IS ABOUT INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE.


YES, SPAIN WON THE WORLD CUP, BUT THE SPANISH TEAM WINNING STRUCTURE WAS CENTERED AROUND RODRI WHO JUST CAME BACK FROM INJURY. INFACT THERE WAS NO OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL PERFORMER IN THE SPANISH TEAM APART FROM RODRI WHO WAS THE ARCHITECT OF EVERYTHING, THERE WAS NO INDIVIDUAL BRILLIANCE FROM THE ATTACKING PLAYERS INCLUDING YAMAL. THE ENTIRE TEAM PLAYED AS A UNIT AROUND THE FULCRUM WHICH WAS RODRI.

I CAN'T REMEMBER ANY MATCH AT THE EXPANDED WORLD CUP THAT YAMAL HAD OUTSTANDING GAME.
EVEN ENZO FERNANDEZ HAD MORE OUTSTANDING MOMENTS AND A WONDERFUL TOURNAMENT THAN YAMAL.


THERE WAS A STORY LINE IN THAT WORLD CUP WHICH FLOPPED AT THE END, AND THE STORY WAS "THAT THIS WORLD WAS THE MOMENT THAT KING MESSI WILL HANDOVER HIS THROWN TO THE NEW KING YAMAL WHICH HE BATHED/BLESSED AS A CHILD"..... BUT YAMAL FLOP, AND THE ENTIRE FINAL WAS ALL ABOUT RODRI MAGIC.

I HOPE WE CAN STILL REMEMBER THIS PICTURE WHICH UNFORTUNATELY NEVER LIVED UP TO EXPECTATION AT THE WORLD CUP TOURNAMENT

Taught the award is based on performance for the award year ni? What has consistency got to do with that?
AndroBlaze:
Not better than either Mbappe or Yamal, but he has been Mr Consistent for quite a while. Probably deserves to be remembered.

Mbappe won zero trophy while Harry Kane won three trophies, both are strikers and Kane has more goals and assists.

UrVillageChief:
Really, Balon dor is individual award and you think Kane performed better individually than Mbappe last season?🤣
No, he won the award ahead of Mbappe because his team won trophies while Madrid didn’t. Individually, Kane didn’t do what Mbappe did in the UCL and World Cup. His major strength and achievement came from the goals he was able to pad up in the German league (the local treble)
Im happy for him but let’s say he was given out of pity and of course, this is fairer than giving it to Yamal.
Kane scored more league goals, won European golden boot ahead of Mbappe, scored 14 UCL goals that's just 1 less of Mbappe's 15. Kane had more assists and scored more game winning games than Kylian, Mbappe scored 10 goals at the World Cup while Harry Kane scored 7 goals, that's still in the balance.

Harry Kane deserve the award just as Salah deserved the previous one ahead of Dembele.

England and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has been crowned the winner of the 2026 Men's Ballon d'Or, claiming football's most prestigious individual award.

The English forward emerged victorious ahead of some of the biggest names in world football, including Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal.


After years of consistent performances, remarkable goalscoring records and individual brilliance, Kane has finally received the recognition many football fans believe he deserves.

The award marks a historic moment in his career and further strengthens his reputation as one of the finest strikers of his generation.

Congratulations to Harry Kane on this incredible achievement.

Do you think Harry Kane deserved the 2026 Ballon d'Or, or should Mbappé or Yamal have won instead?

Let's hear your thoughts.
Looks like this Mbape is cursed. A talented kid with no brains and respect. He disrespected messi trying to make Ronaldo look like a god. Now he can't even get a tip of an ice of what Messi became.

Humility is a virtue

That's the problem with you young people, Salah had the best individual season of any player in Europe and the only reason he wasn't even in the top 4 was because he didn't win the UCL, did Kane win UCL this season ?

Ronaldo won in 2013 without winning a single trophy, Ribery won the UCL but Ronaldo was given for his individual season just as Salah was the best individual player that season.

For goals and assists, chances created both Salah and Mbappe were better than Dembele that season, his only reason for winning it was because PSG won the UCL.

WORTH IT







TOTALLY WORTH IT...... I AM SATISFIED







WITHOUT MESSI AND RONALDO BIASES, A WORTHY WINNER HAS EMERGED.

HE HAD A GREAT CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
HE HAD A WONDERFUL WORLD CUP
HE HAD A FANTASTIC BUNDESLIGA

FINISHING AMONG THE TOP SCORERS IN ALL OF THEM. CONGRATULATIONS KANE.










BY THE WAY, WHAT IS YAMAL DOING ON THAT LIST? YAMAL HAD A TERRIBLE WORLD CUP AND CHAMPIONS LEAGUE............................IN A FAIR WORLD, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HAALAND ON THE TOP 3, DRAGGING TALENTLESS LAZY MINORS LIKE NORWAY TO AN EXPANDED WORLD CUP QUARTER FINALS IS NOT A SMALL ACHIEVEMENT.
EVEN RONALDO WITH ALL HIS STAR STUDDED PORTUGAL TEAM COULD NOT DO IT.




THERE WERE ONLY 5 PLAYERS THAT PERFORMED AT THE WORLD CUP;
1. RODRI
2. MESSI
3. HAALAND
4. MBAPPE
5. KANE
I might add Bellingham.

Yes he had a better season than Tamal, mbappe and Halaand. That shouldn't even be a debate unless you know nothing about football. Mbappe for all his goals ended the season without winning anything, not even a tinfoil cup and Halaand won no major trophy, Yamal won two but Kane's statistics were superior to his League and WC performances. The only player I would put ahead of Kane last season is Rodri

61 goals in last season. No player in the world out scored him last season.
Bundesliga champion
German Cup champion
German super cup champion
3rd in World Cup.
6 goals in world Cup.

And you dare say he won it with"no records"? How are you being truthful?

The win surprised me too. I expected Mbappe, but that doesn't mean I'll come and lie about the magnificent and extraordinary season Harry Kane had.

Be logical and ask yourself why the 200 other bundesliga players can't also do same multi Tapins?

So for Champions league na tap in him do too abi? Person wey be top scorer for champions league last season? He scored in every round of the champions league till Bayern lost to PSG in the semis. That's consistency. And who told you he scored only tap ins in the Bundesliga. Go and watch the goals he scored in the league last season. Some of Una no sabi anything about football. Na to just dey talk trash on this forum.

I’ve heard you. Una go come online and start to Dey cap nonsense. So you would give last season’s award to Salah ahead of Dembele?🤣
Amazing. All the jargons you wrote up there points to the fact that this wuruwuru award has always been inconsistent.
Why not give the Gerd muller award (best striker) to Mbappe at least? They could have done that to keep the thing consistent (like they did with Lewandoski in 2022)
Also, about your Ribery reference, what was Ribery’s contributions to that year’s campaign success? Why aren’t you telling us he actually came distant third?
No disrespect to Harry but he shouldn’t have won this just by padding up stats in the German league. It would have been far more understandable if he had won those local trophies (treble) with a struggling team (like Stuggart, Koln, Bremen, HSV, etc) in German but c’mon, those trophies are Bayern’s birthright. With or without him, they would still win them.
Didn’t they tell us that the award is often given to players who did exceptional things? Why not give it to the player who just broke the WC goal-scoring record then? Being the highest scorer in your local league, the Champions league and the World Cup is no small feat and definitely not a coincidence.
