So, Yaya Toure once again won the BBC African Footballer of The Year yesterday and it for me thinking. How did he win it over players like Aubemeyang, Ighalo, Mahrez and Ayew? Who voted? On what basis did they vote? http://afritalks.com/threads/football-monopoly.508/ 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Anyone who wrote this article cleary don't watch football.... he mentions the messi ronaldo era as as monopoly instead of acknowledging that these two have been one of the most if not the most consistent footballers in the history of the game, scoring nothing less than 50 goals for the past six or seven years now with countless assists to boot... yeah lets give the ballon d'or to cech or alaba because you want a change... lmao... what a ridiculous article..anyone who thinks messi or ronaldo haven't deserved there world best running for 7 seasons or so should quit watching footy... For the african footballer,i will it to aubamayeng but i understand why yaya gonna win it,it's not cut and dry... As for ighalo,are u even kidding me?!! 3 Likes 2 Shares |

kendrick9:what do you rate performances by? Goals scored per season? . Are C.Ron and Messi exceptional every season? Even in a World Cup year? Did Messi deserve the Ballon in 2010? Una wet sabi football pass tell us if 2 players are the best each season out of thousands in various leagues. Is it normal? 3 Likes 1 Share |

kendrick9:since you rate players by goals, I may not have any candidates you will agree with. Meanwhile, the article isn't based solely on this year, but the past 6 years |

safarigirl:no,i rate them based on performances,something which these two have consistently doing for years.... To say otherwise is nonsense..

safarigirl: I agree with you on the Ronaldo and Messi's monopoly. Gone are the days where Defenders and Goalkeepers were included in the last three but these days,score 50 goals in a season and you are good to go. I still maintain my stance that Sneidjer deserved the Ballon'dor in 2010 but he was overlooked cos he didn't score much. Iniesta is also a player that could have won the Ballon'dor if the criteria is not goal based. Chelseafan# 2 Likes |

safarigirl: [b]Messi clearly merited it this year and CR7 closely followed behind. Followed by Neymar and then Suarez. Those were the best performing players on the planet. Is it not this year CR7 hit five in a game against Espanyol? The Messi magical goal in the Copa Del Rey Finals? Remember Messi's performances home and away against Man City. After the game, I exclaimed with a frustrated voice, "Give Messi the World Best again." As for African levels, the likes of Mahrez, Ayew and Aubameyang started performing this season. Last season was awful for Dortmund ans Aubameyang. Yaya performed okay with his club but coupled with his Afcon winning performance, Yaya Clearly takes it. Mahrez, Ayew and co. have to perform this well next year to knick it off Yaya. Messi's Wonder goal against Bilbao. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzPLC9gbHd8 I have downloaded and watched this goal many times but I was still breathless as I watched it now. Imagine Messi did this in a cup final. Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) five goals against Espanyol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzx-FYtVc4A [/b] 1 Like 1 Share |

hmmmm.... Interesting! Well lots of things need to be considered. For the world Footballer of the year being btw CR7 and Messi10, I think the closest of players close to those two are Neymar, Suarez, Ibrahimovic, james, Lewandoski and Muller (always underated), CR7 and Messi10 are miles ahead. Why not goalkeepers and defenders..? Well Neuer came close last time and Canavaro in 2006. Depends on what criteria they are using. I would have prefered Xavi won it in 2010. He was instrumental and master class in midfield and kept that for a very long time. Why always Europe? In terms of quality, brand and Rating, Europe is the best in the world especially with the Ucl, UEL, EPL, Scudetto, La liga, Bundesliga, ligue1, Eredivisie etc. You want to show case yourself on the very big stage? Come to Europe, that's why you have lots of South Americans and Africans plying their trade there. As for the APOTY, I don't wanna say yaya toure should win it because he won the AFCON. No doubt for the past years he's been at the very top and an engine for Man city. But from last season to now his form has dipped while the likes of Aubameyang, Mane, Mahrez, Ighalo and Brahimi has improved and becoming key members of their various clubs though the size and performance of their clubs might go against, but individually they can challenge Toure. APOTY should go to Aubameyang, he his fast and have been scoring of lately. I don't know why the likes of Arsenal and Man United won't snap him up? Ratherthan wasting money looking for forwards. 2 Likes 1 Share |

khattab02: I do not think we can give it to Aubameyang after the terrible season Dortmund had that led to the departure of Klopp. No doubt the young man has come back with a bang but the cloud of last season is part of 2015. He can not get my vote until he has a better year. Yaya was not so bad club wise. The Cityzens finished second. He still has the AFCON to go with it. Yaya for me. |
Re: World Football Has Been Ruined By 3 People by kendrick9(m): 2:00pm On Dec 12, 2015 |
TheGoodJoe:just lyk i said i will personally give it to aubamayeng,he has been fantastic this year 2015... afterall this award is for 2015 not last year so ur dortmund burrara is irrelevant...facts are aubamayeng has produced since the turn of the year 2015.. i understand why some may chose yaya due to the afcon win. 1 Like |
Re: World Football Has Been Ruined By 3 People by TheGoodJoe(m): 2:10pm On Dec 12, 2015 |
kendrick9: Aubameyang has been immense in the second half of the year. However, the Dortmund collapse is not a 2014 thing but a 2014-2015 thing. It is also part of 2015. So I personally think he would not get my vote because of the earlier part of the year. As you pointed out, it is a personal choice. Some might look at it as Aubameyang picking himself from a disaster and making and ending in an immense year. Props to the guy. Definitely one of the top African heroes of 2015. |

Re: World Football Has Been Ruined By 3 People by TheGoodJoe(m): 5:58pm On Dec 12, 2015 |
safarigirl: Couple of years ago, they were wrong. Mikel was clearly the best. Mikel did not only influence a great return of Nigeria as AFCON champions. He was part of the team that won the Europa League for Chelsea and had a nice confederation cup show. I am okay if Yaya is rightly awarded his awards but that year, CAF got it wrong. |

Goalkeepers and defenders are being cheated every year. Now it's about how much goals and trophies you win. That's bad. |
Re: World Football Has Been Ruined By 3 People by E383: 2:14pm On Dec 31, 2015 |
Safarigirl is right. Did yaya perform better than Brahimi? No! Suarez, despite his non playing time due to a ban managed to score over 30goals and still was not short listed in the top 5. This FiFA arrangement is a sham. A disgrace in itself. I'd rather believe Nigerian politicians than believe FIFA and their antics. Pffffft. |

seankay:the greatest disservice in the fifa award was in 2010(messi didnt deserve it that year). Then 2013 against mikel also okocha 1998 n 2004. Unfortunately, one of d disadvantages of public voting, people vote with emotion n what d media influence. Eg headies 2015 saga. But d solution should be better voters enlightment on d criteria used. Try n read Philip Lahm article on goal website. Goalkeepers n defensive players are always cheated by d glory hunters upfront not d type of selfless service d render. Cc: safarigirl 3 Likes |

zanga420:honestly, the fact that no one considers that of not for the likes of Ramos, Marcelo and Neuer, all the Messis, Neymars and CR7s in the world, can't win you trophies is pathetic. Is it Mess I stopping balls at penalty shoot-outs? Is it CR7 that ensures a goalless draw? All those guys do is wait for the ball to reach them all the way from the other half 90% of the time, yet they get the encomiums, where is the justice? 1 Like |
