tesppidd:
stop playing ignorant and go read the rules.

it is a uefa award and it covers all international competitions as well including the world cup.

shut up, which dirty rules.. If it covers all international competitions why then do they still have FIFA best award?

Chop knuckle bro!

KNIGHTBlaed:


So true my brother... Marcelo is the silent engine house, him and Casimero. Truth be told, that Madrid team is too complete (infact over complete dey worry them). Just look at their bench players that transferred to other teams (they become regulars there).

Before people here begin to downgrade Marcelo; There was this interview with Danilo (when he newly signed for Manchester City), the interviewer was asking him who he thinks the most hard working player in Madrid was during his time with Madrid. Danilo answered Ramos or Marcelo, the interviewer was shocked because he expected to hear Ronaldo and he asked again who the most skillful player in Madrid was, Danilo again said it was Marcelo and by far. Seeing the surprise on the interviewer's face, Danilo then told him that all players in Madrid work extra had but that Ronaldo only wants to score goals and be in position to score goals.

The players themselves know who deserves the awards but just keep quiet since its not their decision to make. As much as I love Ronaldo, 5 Ballon d' or's is an insult to football greats. Ronaldo never play ball wey Zidane, Ronaldo de Lima, Ronaldinho play at all. Those awards na wash.

Ronaldo deserved it but Lucas deserves it more this time, world's best midfielder, narrow it from UCL down to world cup. He's simply the best.

addictiv:
Ronaldo may be the angel of soccer, but Modric is the Wizard of OZ. However in a world cup year the performance of players in the world cup are also considered not only champions league . Remember Italy winning world cup and fabio cannovaro who was the captain getting the UEFA title. Modric was spectacular in the world cup, Ronaldo was a flop in the world cup. Modric deserves it.. Case closed.

Don't be dumb. This is not the ballon d or, but rather UEFA footballer of the year award which is based on performances in europe, mostly UEFA competitions.

nelsonebby:
Ronaldo didn’t score or attempt to score in the semifinals and finals.

Scoring penalties can’t make you the best

Real fans know modric deserves it.



Man united fans are actually the ones complaining.

bros thank you, I like what you put down

Dailymemoirs:


So if someone scores 15 goals but doesn't score in the finals and semi final it becomes a poor performance?
I don't understand u sir

is it not someone DAT play and give him the Ball to score,his time and messi time has pass,now time for other people to taste it.. or is it his birth right

Nbote:
Some of U fanboys are funny.. Does it make sense dat becos he had a few gud games he deserves to win d award?? Ronaldo had a poor season last season whether U want to admit it or not... D awards are based on overall performances all over d season, not a few gud performances . D season started in August and Madrid had to do without Ronaldo's goals till January/February and if not for Modric's consistency Zidane would have been sacked by November and then becos Ronaldo scored in d quarter finals and semi-finals of d champions league he's better than d person who's being there from d group stages?? I'm sure U ppl are waiting for him to score in Juve to tell everyone how he's already d best player in d Serie A

God bless you for this write up, His time don pass

Dem no want Ronaldo to win am 4 times.

I think they will also vote modric as ballon d or and world player of the year winner.

Rubbish! Them no want ronaldo to pass messi.

Dailymemoirs:


He had a poor last season? By scoring highest in Europe all competition with lesser games played. 15 in the Champions league. If that's Ur definition of a poor season then it is one many players dream of

who work the ball from midfield, cos I believe he is not alone on the field

tokrizy:
Now i knw say u no dey watch football.

shey u knw marcelo?

na d player wey pass ball give ronaldo pass for madrid

if the midfield is not in order how will the attack function well?

Rooneyboy:

Shut up your trap, just make your comment and don't try to be stupid, we know you are but must you always act and display it everywhere

he pain am

LZAA:
Sneijder was robbed in 2010 Ribery was robbed in 2013

Ribery was definitely not robbed.

sureteeboy:
As far as whoscored.com statistics is concerned, Modric is not even in the list of the top 10 performers in that champions league

So you believe that neymar who was knocked out at the round of 16 was the best player at the champions league?

Frankiss44:


What consistency are u talking about, aside world cup, Modric had a few decent games en route the Champions league final.. His assists and goal stats says it all.. Meanwhile Ronaldo didn't just finish as the highest goal scorer, but he won 8 man of the match award enroute the finals, meanwhile Modric that was present in all the games never won 1...

so who was coordinating that midfield if they don't give him ball how will he score?

Zceesneh:
are you serious? FIFA is in charge of every football activities in the world, without FIFA, there will be nothing like UEFA, This is World cup year, so world cup will determine 70% of who will win both the ballon d'or and UEFA best player

So why did Messi and Ronaldo win the world best in 2010 n 2014?

SEONaijaExpert:
I hope Modric will prove himself again next year.

You can't just take it away from Ronaldo, he's an all time performer.

so the thing pain you like this...

#new era, Cr7 and messi era has ended...

LM10 for FIFA balon D OR

ClintonNzedimma:
Modric will win balondor fair and square

I support your claim

STILESGANG:
Stop disturbing yourself. He cant win any other individual award again. Definitely not in juve. His glory days ended the monent he stepped out of the great madrid jersey.

So ronaldo did not win any individual award in Man united.

ClintonNzedimma:

don't be silly, every football fan knows how poor Ronaldo was during the first half of the season...I predicted that modric will win it and he did

and he will win FIFA balon D or again

post=70770152:
Time for another debate .

Modric had a great world cup, if that was one of the criteria, which we don't think it is.

So you like sport?

dasensible1:
I don't understand people's problem. Ronaldo won the "best forward" award yesterday, obviously in recognition of his goal scoring prowess last season in Europe. Was he the best forward? Yes!!! Was he the best footballer? No!!! I so much love the fact that Modric got the recognition he deserved yesterday.
I don't know how many of us can sit down and watch Ronaldo play for 90mins, when he is not scoring goals. I'll rather be punished picking a bag of beans! Ronaldo scored the highest number of goals last season and he got the reward "best forward".
Boycotting the awards yesterday says a lot about Ronaldo, he has no respect for anyone else except himself. Coaches, captains and selected media persons voted for their choices in different categories, but because the almighty Ronaldo didn't win, they can all go to hell.
Ronaldo and his fans should organize their own award to make him the best player if they feel cheated, UEFA has spoken and that's the final. I hope Mbappe, Griezman, and Modric emerged the final three for Ballon Dor, so we can have a winner from amongst them.

You talk as if modric was awarded the best player award because he played the role of a goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and forward.
So by your admission he should have won the best midfielder award only as he only did the job of a midfielder abi?
So was modric as a midfielder better than Ronaldo as a forward? If so, How?

Evangkatsoulis:


So ronaldo did not win any individual award in Man united.

Would he have won five ballon dor if he remained at manu?. Im sure messi would have won at least 8. Ronaldo was good but the world class Madrid team made him better. You ronaldo fanboys should get that into your skull

He left Madrid. That's the sole reason Modric won. These awards are all elections and it always helps to have Papa Perez at your corner.

Evangkatsoulis:
Dem no want Ronaldo to win am 4 times.

I think they will also vote modric as ballon d or and world player of the year winner.

Rubbish! Them no want ronaldo to pass messi.

For your mind.. If not for the partiality, we no suppose dey compare Ronaldo and Messi...
You can compare Ronaldo and Salah for now... Not with Messi...

Put Messi in that Madrid team and Messi will score 60+ goals total until he retires...
Every other player in Madrid does the hard work for Ronaldo to score in Madrid. Even when Ronaldo does nothing the entire game, he can simply tap in a goal or nod in a goal or shoot and score... then the next thing we hear is Ronaldo has rescued Madrid... lmao
In Barcelona, Messi has a bad day (not that he will not still play o, cos he will still be the best Barca player on the pitch) then Barca struggles badly. Messi plays averagely then Barca wins, then when he is at his best (which is most likely the case) we see the best of Barca.
Yet some people will come and be comparing a player that hangs around the penalty box to score and a play that does the who playing for his own team.
I love Ronaldo and I'm not saying he is not good but the comparison with Messi is not just in any way. They both score goals and when we want to compare in terms of goals, lets do so and not compare them the way we play.

Ronaldo plays for a Madrid team with Very good players that makes him better and does the work for him...
Messi plays for a Barcelona team with equally very good players that he makes better and they struggle when he is not at his best....

Most of the awards Ronaldo won was because of the long legs of Real Madrid and the Politics they play there in that Mighty club. Now that he is not in Madrid, shey na Juve president wan dey push am

Just watch out for Bale... If you watched the last 2 Madrid league games, you will know that Ronaldo is not missed in Madrid

einsteine:

Confirm!!! Thats the truth right there... If Ronaldo had left Madrid, he would never have won the Ballon d'or 5 times which still remains an insult to soccer greats..

ClintonNzedimma:

I am a Barça fan, I can beat my chest to defend modric any day....He will even win the balondor I am sure....The problem with fake Madrid fans is that they just masturbate anytime Ronaldo scores... I have always been of the opinion that Ronaldo is just a brilliant pure striker....Modric is the engine...

you deserve handshake from me.......

Lol, messi played in prime barca and only scored 60+ in a season, and that was 2012, what happened in 2009,2010,2011,2013,2014?
Argentina nko? From the days of riquelme, aimar, saviola, tevez, milito, to higuain, aguero, di maria etc.

And no, if messi stayed in the box waiting for the ball, he wouldn't score up to 30 a season. Does he have to postitioning of ronaldo, is he good in the air?

Yemsam01:

Please can you explain that kind of attitude that ronaldo has and will make them choose modric over him. If something is not good, it is not good. Don't find some excuses that are not genuine

when messi knew quite well last season that the award belong to Cr7 was he not there...

Cr7 don Bleep up with that his self centerd attitude,he only thinks of himself to win it till he retires from football

STILESGANG:

How do you know he would not have another ballon d or at man u? Shebi man u no win league 2011, abi dem no enter another champions league final 2011.
Dude stop speculating.

Prime barcelona> prime real madrid.

Nbote:


See d problem with U guys... A season's performances are based on 38 matches in d league and ALL d matches in d Champions League and in dis case there was d group stage, knockout, quarters, semis and den d finals. How can U base an overall seasons award over a few matches in d quarters and semis alone? Ronaldo had an inconsistent season and wasn't even Madrid's best player last season.. I don't get how some of U reason.

Im glad you see football in the light i see it also. Ronaldo = gimmicks

[quote author=ominilongest post=70775151][/quote] So who do you think will win the ballon d’or
