Messi carried that Argentina team. When he wasn't scoring he was creating. The pass against Holland in the quarter finals was brilliant.

Especially when you score 7 goals in the competition (2 in the final & a goal in every knock out game) & get 5 man of the match awards in the competition, add in 3 assists.

Add in 2 Trophies with PSG and 1 with Inter Miami.

Definitely not a robbery.

So what is the the criteria for the Ballon Do'r? Is it a European based award or a world award? is it for clubs or a mixture of both?

I've never really understood the winning criteria of it
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Your surname must be Messi or Ronaldo. If you have been the best player in the world but do not fulfil this essential surname criteria you will not be considered.

Some people can get very exercised by who wins these awards. Just like with all-stars in GAA, I personally pay as close to no attention as possible to individual awards in team sports. Ballon D'Or is a player of the year award by a football magazine in France. That's it.

Agreed. Nice to win and all but have paid 0 heed to it since neither Xavi or Wesley Sneijder won it in 2010. Always going to be subjective and you'll always find plenty of people with a different opinion.

Well you obviously pay a bit more than 0 heed to it if you felt the need to come on and whinge about Messi winning it this year  ;D

Quote from: Armagh18 on October 20, 2023, 07:03:58 AMMessi getting another Ballon Do'r. Is that based off the calendar year still? I thought they changed it to run to the season. If so bit of s robbery he gets it for scoring a few penalties in Qatar ahead of Haaland who won a treble.
World Cup winning Captain beats any treble.

Like Maradonna before him he carried a fairly average Argentinian side to ultimate glory. Undisputed GOAT and of all his Ballon D'ors this one is the most deserved.

He deserves it for the achievement, but mbappe was well within that mile of him and is probably the heir apparent.

Ajax bottom of their own domestic league and bottom of their group in the Europa league it's not so long ago they were playing in a Champions league semi final.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Qatar opened up the impossible. Saudi Arabia will change the face of football over the next decade. They will tap into the South American and African Market. They will buy their way into the Champions League.
