What about the player that won it then?

Griezman?

So why didn't Madrid players fire on all cylinders when they met ATLETICO Madrid?

Lol
We all know that griezman wasn't the best player in the french team, and Modric won the player of the tournament remember? that aside, Athletico dropped out of the champs league, they could not compete against the elites and ended up as one eyed man among the blind of Europa

OK.

He lost this due to his poor international appearance.

Let him improve on the toward the coming ceremony.

As far as I'm concerned, Ronaldo or Modric will be winning the award.

Ronaldo spot is just unshakable smiley
Salah replaced Neymar in his usual 3rd position and Messi replaced by Modric in the 'usual' 2nd position.

sense will not kill me grin grin
don't fool yourself.

both ronaldo and messi will not be on the podium.

messi was not nominated.

a day before the award ronaldo will learn that modric has won and he will skip the award ceremony and cry.


sense will not kill me!

Year of Modric!

transformed:
It is partly an individual award, you dont just win because your team won the world cup, and you might not win it despite scoring the most goals and providing the highest number of assists.


Griezman played better than the three contestants.
Lionel Messi played better than CR7 domestically but the earlier isn't there
Cr7 edged him in CL.
Sallah and modric played well in all competitions while the earlier won nothing, the latter won CL.

Grizeman didn't only played well but was also consistent. He was consistent for the whole season alongside world cup.

It's now a popularity contest.

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?

George didn't the win world player of the year.

They only gave modric the uefa player of the year to recognize him for his efforts........and you guys no that...

FIFA award is fast becoming useless and ridiculous,,hw can u place salah dat won nothing ahead of messi,,totally awful...modric will win tho
Re: FIFA Releases 3-Man Shortlist For Best Player, Lionel Messi Excluded by Nobody: 3:34pm On Sep 03, 2018
They were looking for a way to squeeze Salah in and since Messi is the gentle guy that will not cry aloud and complain they decided to use him as the scapegoat. After winning league and Spanish cup and European golden boot. Griezmann isnt even in bullshit. Even if they want to give it to Modric, Griezmann should be in the top three. That award is meant for Griezman or Modric but the award is now a popularity award based on size of fan base

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

Greizman didn't make the cut, Mo Salah did. May Modricthe best player win.

You didn't even come close to sense.. How will a Ronaldo who couldn't win Europe best, scoop home the World's best.. The voters don't think like Ronaldo fans, you know.

kiss the truth!

Lol. Iniest won the uefa best 2012 but messi won the world best; ribery won uefa best 2013 and ronaldo won the world best.

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?
Good bless you for this.

Winner of which cup? Did Modric not also win d Champions League?
Re: FIFA Releases 3-Man Shortlist For Best Player, Lionel Messi Excluded by karika2018: 3:45pm On Sep 03, 2018
I want you guys to read what the award says...........fifa best.......and you think that they would give it to modric.......you guys are funny..................Did you remember when iniesta won the uefa player of the year.....and then what happened that same year in the balon dior......messi took it.............


they are not just going to give it to ronaldo because he has been the best player which he is....but also for marketing purposes.....................

is either ronaldo and messi are not there then modric would have won the award..........but once messi is not there....automatically ronaldo picks it.............Go and ask frank ribery

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.
seconded, all Messi's votes and anti ronaldo's votes will go for Modric.

Sorry Penaldo, the beginning of the end of an era is here

Which did not win him UCL and /or world cup or even a place among the top 3 best players.
U said he is on a decline, nd I reminded u he is still the top goal scorer nd assist maker so far this year. Does he need to win UCL nd world cup to justify he is not on a deciine?

I am happy,the selection is fair.Luka Moderic all the way.Let Messi n Ronaldo leave the stage 4 other people.Both of them have ruled 4 almost 11 consecutive yrs.As 4 Mo Sallah,he is really giving Africa good representation.Had it bin that that hand-breaker from spain allow him win the champions league n his country knows a little abt football to help him reach world cup final,he wud av bin de one to win this ballon d'or award.I feel for him.Lest i 4get,Infantino let me state this b4 hand,that i dont wnt to see wot happened to Westly Sneider in 2010 happening to Moderic this year...ooo!That after he had won the UCL with Inter n played in the final of world cup,instead of the award to be given to him,they rather gave it to some one who went out of the UCL in round 16 n was equally knock out in group stage of the world cup.
