How does Rodri not win in a treble winning year but this year, especially when you could say Yamal lit up the Euros morethan he did, Foden got all the PL plaudits, Vini was more decisive in the CL including the semifinals and final and voted best player.
Even if you argue he was Cities best player which is right, Foden still lit up the Prem. So I struggle as to see how he trumps Vini this year

You know how Modric got a lifetime achievement for 2018 and the talk of Lewandowski getting one for Covid.

Real Barca Messi and C Tart broke the system and made the award a joke.

"The Ballon d'Or period typically runs from the beginning of one calendar year (January 1) to the end of the following year (December 31) for which the award is given. For example, the 2023 award considers performances from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022."

They flipped it in 2022 and been using the European season since which is why Rodri won the treble in 2022–23 but Messi won the last edition of the award

For the second time in the history of the award, it was given based on the results of the season instead of the calendar year, with the season starting on 1 August 2022 and ending 31 July 2023.

sure gringos are generally against brehs but brazillians in football escape a lot of that.

vini less so than his compatriots but i suppose that depends on how the brazilian looks. see hulk playing in russia.

" In 2012, he joined Russian Premier League side Zenit Saint Petersburg for €60 million, winning all three domestic honours and being named the competition's best player and being top scorer, once each"

Not sure what you're trying to argue here.

Hulk blasts Russia over racism in 'almost every game'

Zenit St Petersburg’s Hulk accuses Spartak Moscow fans of racist abuse

Lol y'all are crazy. Like I said earlier Vini isn't the hill to die on. Y'all claiming racism when it was obvious Madrid PR couldn't help the split votes with Jude and Vini. They killed Jude's PR after Euros and tried to hype Vini but it was too little too late. Now Madrid got 3 guys who Papa Perez promised Balon D'Or. Good luck with that team chemistry.

Y'all's acting like Vini is nelson Mandela, when he only speaks up about cism after he needles his opponent's and then the Spaniards respond with their racismo. Guy finished second in Balon d'or and threw his toys out the pram, makes me respect all the other runners up over the years a whole lot more.
wrong again

he literally called out Madrid fans a few days ago for chanting racist shyt at Yamal after they got trounced 4-0

Rodri is the worst balloon d'or since Nedved

guys PL finally have a ballon d'or winner :heh:

Damn. Figured he would sign a pre-agreement for next season.

His last game is today. Against Nacional. Wonder how the Sporting fans will react. :lupe:

Seeing how Ole & Jose looked during their final months at Man Utd, Amorim going lose that hairline by 2025.

Yanited/Ineos cannot afford to have an interim till the end of the season. Your team is broken your players are broken and old. And the Wreck-It Ralf tenure showed interim doesn't work because the players know someone else is taking over in the summer.

He didn't stand out ? Dude was literally player of the tournament... And he made both team of the season in EPL and team of the tournament in Euro.
Breh when I say standout, I mean balling outta control and peaking really high. Like Cannavaro won it 06 for the WC but did he outshine Zidane, no. Yamal peaked higher than Rodri at the Euros and you could argue Olmo and fabian ruiz where just as good as Rodri was.

How do you think United get back on tracks ?

Ten Hag bought like 5 or 6 players he had at Ajax. How can any manager build on flawed foundations like that.

Do Ineos do like 08 Madrid with all its dutch players and sell them all to start a new era ?

No DM will ever shine like an attacking player, it's the nature of the position.

Vini deserved it as well and so did Bellingham and Carvajal but there can only be one winner.
