Ballon D'Or team XI
Ballon D'Or team XI
In the words of Catherine Tate's gran character.."What a load of shit!"
No one from the premier league, no English women's players and the best eleven players are mainly playing for Real Madrid or Barcelona. Its so bias its a joke. Sanchez no where near it but Modric is one of the best eleven players in the world. Its a farce and a joke. Pointless exercise...waste of money and its sordidly full of slimey football politics.

It's the problem with an uninformed democracy.
The captain of Tonga and the coach of Laos get the same vote as everyone else,. I wonder how much they know other than what they read or occasionally see on TV.
Sergio Ramos has been playing at CB and has, for the most part, been pants, but he is the captain of Madrid.
And Marcelo has lots of hair, so that clearly makes him better than Phillp Lahm.

Whilst it is ridiculous that fanboy players and managers from Tonga can vote for this (probably on their iPhones with Ronaldo wallpaper) and it is a crime against humanity that Modric is even mentioned in the same sentence as the words "best eleven players in the world", at least the right man won it. The very thought of the prancing diving cheating step-over queen Ladyboy Fake-Ronaldo winning it made vomit appear in my mouth.
Messi is the best player in the world. No doubt. No argument.

Re: Ballon D'Or team XI
why are you dissapointed to not see any of the England ladies players in the ballon dor? It's a vote for the best footballers in the world, not the third best women's footballers.

Re: Ballon D'Or team XI
The women came third and Chlesea women won their champions league and not a single player made the top 11 women players. Look at the list all nomination play in USA or Japan. Putting it simply as long as a player male or female plays for an English club wont make the final cut for the award.Henry Norris 1913 wrote:why are you dissapointed to not see any of the England ladies players in the ballon dor?

It's a monthly thing and they're all a winner!
In other news Diaby won an award too.....the Iron Lung.
Re: Ballon D'Or team XI
You seem surprised for some reason.
Obviously Messi and Ronaldo are quality players, but the rest?

Re: Ballon D'Or team XI
Just the same dull old names.
Iniesta!!!!! the bloke hasn't done fuck all for 5 years. Neuer is top keeper but i think De Gea was much better last season.
can't argue with Neymar, Messi or Ronaldo. But shameful no Bale, Sanchez, Aquero, Vidal or Suarez.

Re: Ballon D'Or team XI
These type of awards have always been the same. In 25 years the World Player of the Year has only ever gone to somebody from Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Inter or Milan - with the exception of when Ronaldo scored 3,589 goals in 2008 to take United to the PL and CL.
English football is struggling in relative terms now but it's always been tremendously unfashionable in the modern game - you'd never guess the Premier League dominated the CL from 2005-2012.

In comparison to what you have to do to get the Ballon D'Or (in Messi's case just score more goals than anyone else in Spain) it makes you wonder why Henry never won it.northbank123 wrote:English football is struggling in relative terms now but it's always been tremendously unfashionable in the modern game - you'd never guess the Premier League dominated the CL from 2005-2012.
Doubt it, personally.
