Not a ronaldo/messi fan... but it was obvious there was rigging... Messi was the least person who deserves that award

ZinoFasisi:


This particular statement shows whoever wrote this article is a Ronaldo fan, and is biased

1 claim by Nicaragua captain - Nicaragua case, fifa provided evidence of the captain voting, it was stamped and signed, sent by Nicaragua FA, the captain should goan face his FA.

1 claim by sudan coach that they voted for salah (Not van dyke or Ronaldo) ~ Sudan coach has denied saying that, and confirmed the whole screenshot wasn't from him

1 claim voted for salah - fifa gave reasons

Lets wait and see if other people will come out to deny the votes, because all votes were published

I want to ask a question. Which player performance the best last season?

Lets all be truthful in all we do regardless of fan base


for now those 3 votes are immaterial.

MedicH:
No coach ever can vote messi. There's no other player in the world that can be scoring against Spain in the world cup canceling all their 3 goals. That alone is incredible and out of this world. Let me not even talk about Liverpool UCL blunder. Of course everyone knows u can't have Ronaldo in a team that needs just a goal to advance and he won't do it. I can bet 1m.

Obec70:
Tell me among CR & VV who got the statistics put in place by FIFA as criteria for winning the world best player award? Let's face the facts even last year event wasn't fantastic, do we expect FIFA to repeat same mistake they made last year by given it to Lucas Mordric, were is he today as the reigning champion? No bi naija election bi dat take note.

Code of conduct bureau should investigate the matter. I don't like nonsense

chiefolododo:
Messi bought the award

And it's very comparable to 3 goals aggregate up and then on return leg, 4 goals down needs one goal away to advance and couldn't do shlt

Given that Messi won with an 8 point margin, those claims would have changed the voting process.

Whoever came up with this article is young, dumb and broke

Am an ardent fan of Liverpool
But i must confess Messi deserve this award
He is a legend

FIFA determines the best players based on the votes of national team coaches, captains as well as a journalist from each country



See ehnnnn


i thought Ronaldo was far behind Lionel Messi











Untill i watched Lionel Messi's third goal against real betis
And i realize i was hundred percent correct!

You need to see that goal!

Which player lost 3 cups last season? One of them in a most humiliating way?

Mac2016:
When last did Messi win it? All the while, no foul claim. He won! Noise started! I hate bitter losers!

From the beginning of last season till 1st leg against Liverpool at UEFA Champions League campaign, Messi outshone all players in the world. Ronaldo reduced his chances by switching to another club before he could find his rhyme, time don go!

Ronaldo starling performances were towards the tail end of the season while around that time Messi was wobbling owing to many factors best known to him but one attributable to his team downspiriting performance at Anfield.

But overall, Messi had the best season performance and He is the best player in the world. No doubt!

Asour:



You probably shouldn't bet then.

Because, in the 30th Minute of the Juv vs Ajax game in Turin. Juve led by 1-0, at home.— Ronaldo scored.
They just had to hold on to that goal— to qualify— but they didn't. By 70' they trailed at home 2-1.

No player always scores. None. Save your bet.

Aiyk2333:

you're just foolish I swear.. on who performed better last season it's vvd.. but there's a voting system. if two or votes are rigged or mistaken for a particular person then eyebrows would be raised

ogbonti:



ok ooooo so- it is not worth investigating when someone voted for a player and it didnt count or recorded? does the soccer world deserve to know if the allegation is true or false? you think say na NAIJA supreme court, APC and Buhari rubbish be this? your head no dey house

MedicH:


That's what stars do

WarriAproko:
u didn't see what he played in fit a world cup. Taking Russia to 1st ever world cup final. And played well at d league and UEFA champions league

Correcto:
Messi and Barcelona were below standard last season, others did well

Igbosmoker:
Penaldo and his fans have been dying ever since messi won the award, they went to Photoshop some image claiming those coaches did not vote messi which the people has denied.

The Sudan coach has denied ever saying that.

penaldo fans think FIFA is stupid to allow such scandal? The voting is in public and whoever don't like it can continue wailing
