I would give up anything to see the look on Ronaldo's face right now.

Very egotistic 1diot.

He was very happy seeing team mates and friends around him while collecting awards.
Even rivals.

Now he can't even stand his own team mates and friends receive awards.

Same way he would score 50 goals but shout at Bale orAbeloa who dares to attempt just one goal without passing to him.

His useless so called fans keep on pampering, patronising him and making excuses for misdemeanors and arrogance.

"He is only competitive"
"He hates to lose"

bla bla bla.

andrew444:
Mugu so you expect Modric to score 54 goals like Ronaldo ? As a striker or what ?

Stop disgracing your self man,you just did so by expecting a midfielder to score more goals and get more assist like Ronaldo



DUMB

Better change your name from lesbianboy to gay girl .
How about assists or key passes? Isn't he supposed to be winning Ronaldo on those ones as a midfielder?

We should not judge Modric based on goals, we should not judge him on assists and we shouldn't judge him on key passes either. What exactly are we supposed to judge him on?
He doesn't have amazing completed dribbling stats like Hazard and Neymar, and he isn't exactly known for interceptions or tackling, he isn't an assist master, one assist the whole UCL campaign and abysmal 2 assists in 25 LA liga matches last season speaks for themselves. He isn't a free kick specialist, he isn't a pass master like Xavi and now Jorginho.
They say he won UCL for Madrid, but dude registered only 1 assist and a goal, the whole UCL campaign and not a single man of the match award. Ronaldo even have more assists, key passes and Man of the match awards in 2017/18 UCL.

What exactly is Modric outstanding at, to deserve WPOTY award ahead of CR7.

He wasn't Croatia best player of the world cup. Whoscored.com stats placed players like Rakitic, Perisic and Brozovic ahead of him in match ratings. Only against Russia did he win Man of the match award, yet he was quickly projected as the tournament MVP, to justify awarding him this WPOTY award tonight. And worst still , it's not like Croatia won the world cup.
Shouldn't the world cup MVP have come from France outstanding players like Mbappe, Pogba, Varane or Griezmann.
But they had to award it to Modric, to justify awarding him the WPOTY award tonight.
The footballing world desperately wants the Messi-Ronaldo duopoly to end, but it doesn't mean we should replace them with inferior players.

What a shame. Ronaldo did well not attending. I guess Messi boycotted the event as well.

So happy for Luka Modric...back in 2010, Fifa also gave Messi the award while other players performed better...
Now the battle has ended, 10yrs on the run btw Messi and Ronaldo.

I don't know you sir/ma, but God's blessings shall find you and stay permanently with you. CR7 and Messi have made football look so easy that we ordinary mortals tend to take that for granted because we see them do it everyday. Modric knows he was handled the 3 majors awards so UEFA and FIFA can spite Ronaldo.
PS: Why do all these awards happen after Ronaldo's departure from Madrid? Is there a retaliation by the RM board for leaving them?
Too much Ronaldo hate on this thread by the way.

Only Toni kross created more chances than cr7 for madrid last season ,not even mordric

Ronaldo did well not attending ? Can you listen to your self ?

Messi did not attend at least he was not nominated.

Messi attended last year even when he already knows Ronaldo will be the winner

Modric was the best player at the World Cup okay

So Ronaldo is the only player in Real Madrid ?

So Madrid won the champions league by only Ronaldo effort ?

Anyway go and ask FIFA and co why Fabio canavaro won the award ahead of midfielders and strikers during 2006

When I tot INEC was terrible after d election on Saturday shocked How can Courtios win best keeper and not be in top 11? How can Salah win best goal and among top 3 finalist but he isn't in the top 11.... Finally for every year that FIFA has given awards they have always dropped/released the PDF on how people voted but this year they haven't ..... This is a big shame to the organisers
This things are base on individual and collective performance at times. The highest footballing honors are still that of nationals. Not club. At club level, one is seen as more or less a messinary or professional and can switch alligence at any time. However national football is born out of petrotism and the need to give back to one's own country.

This is why Maradona or Zidane it seem will always be rated higher above di Stefano or pukas as all time greats. Their world cup achievments.

This event only come once in every 4yrs. Think about it. Once in every four yrs. Performance here is key. I think modric award is well earned. Plus he also won the Champions League too just like ronaldo.

Respect to ranaldo Still.

When I said Ronaldo is full of arrogate and selfish his fans termed me being jealous, each time he doesn't score or win award he becomes sad and furious, knowing the award is not for him he shamelessly stay back, what a being who hate celebrating someone progress, self-centered player I have ever seen.
Using your exact words;

Lionel Messi shamelessly stayed back in 2016 when he knew the award was not for him. He also shamelessly stayed back this year cos he is not among the last three. In the same vein, Messi is all you said Ronaldo is, am I right?
