Hope Luka Modric wins, he was phenomenal for both club and country.
Edit
Greizman also won trophies with both club and country, he could win this as well. May the best player win

Griezman deserves to win it but since na vote go count...

Lol

I still wonder why modric name is there... He did absolutely nothing to be there...

In the Champions league, it was Ronaldo that helped push the team, evicting Juventus that almost killed them..

In the world cup, manduzic and Rakitic were helpful...

Griezman won the world & Europa league...

So why should Modric win the world best player?
The last game ronaldo scored in the champs league was in the quarter finals

This is simply WICKEDNESS.
In the year 2014, ARGENTINA came second, CR7 who was eliminated in the group stage was eliminated, why messi.
Now both of them left same time...and Messi has been left out

That's because world cup performance is not the only criteria used to pick best player, if not the likes of George Weah would never have won. Club performance counts as well. CR7 won champions league with REAL but didn't go far in the word cup , what did Messi win with Barcelona and Argentina?

According to Spanish outlet Diario Sport, Lionel Messi has been left off the podium for FIFA's The Best. Incomprehensibly, the Barcelona forward is not in the final three for the world football governing body's prestigious annual prize.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Antoine Griezmann are the three finalists.

They top a shortlist of 10, which did include Messi, along with De Bruyne, Varane, Salah, Hazard, Kane and Mbappe. The official shortlist will be announced by FIFA on Monday.

Last Thursday, at the Champions League draw, Modric was named as the best player in Europe for last season. Real Madrid also scooped the positional prizes at the event: Keylor Navas (goalkeeper), Sergio Ramos (defender), Modric (midfielder) and Ronaldo (forward), now at Juventus but chosen for his performances with Los Blancos.

Messi has finished second in the two editions of The Best to date, always behind Cristiano. Neymar was third in 2016 and Griezmann in 2017.

The winner will be named on September 24 at a gala in London. The prizes are voted for by players, coaches journalists and fans through the Internet.

Modric would win it.Ronaldo fans would not like this I am sure Mendes would cry after the award has been given.
Messi should do better he still remains a GOAT that would continue to be compared with the greatest players who have graced the game of football.
Ronaldo is still a GOAT sha.
Lucas can not win it. They will give it to the winner of the cup

OFFICIAL: FIFA have announced the three finalists for The Best FIFA Men's Player Award 2018:
�� Cristiano Ronaldo
�� Luka Modrić

No Lionel Messi for the first time since 2006.

In World Cup year, best players at the world cup usually win it except 2010 when ojoro made them deny Iniesta and decided to give Messi. I would have said Griezmann but he exited UCL early. However, Modric may not be that spectacular at the UCL. The WC wins it for him.

Modric
Ronaldo
Griezmann/Salah

Only Grizeman deserves the award but we know it's about popularity and he might not win it.

Dude won world cup defeating Luka Croatia
He won Europa league
He won UEFA super cup defeating Luka Madrid
His team was second in La Liga.

Let see If It goes anywhere else then we confirm the fraud FIFA world best player award is
