Of the close to 200 countries in the world, was that why he won.

3 disputed votes?

Get out, man!

That is an evidence that the process is manipulated, untrue and unfair representation of the voting. Hence the process is arguably perverted.

Those were some countries that made their cases known officially or publicly. Some other countries kept quiet.

FIFA is perverted hence, their opinion on the Male World Footballer of the Year is unacceptable and counterproductive.

Alao046:
Please I am hungry, somebody save a soul this night. Congrats leo king.

Your king should feed you nah

calculator123:


The Captains and Managers voted, there are not all drunk..

Tell FIFA to publish the votings as presented by the captains and countries so we can be certain there was no manipulation.

Balloon D'or is perverted too bah?

But when voting was extended so that Ronaldo could win, it was not perveted?

Expert17:


MESSI.,....

Congratz merciless merci him self... Wanted CR7 to win though

Wallade:

Petition them naw.

In this age when the press has zero tolerance for missing anything newsworthy, it wouldn't have come out?

You grappling at thin straws unku!

pazienza:


Ronaldo dribbles past players steadily. Even last UCL against Atletico, he dribbled past three players before he later scored a hat trick in same match.

Even his dribbling is too mechanical, comical stepovers, and his goals like i said are mostly tap ins, you cant compare them to the beautiful goals messi scores.
Messi's style just has the edge for me
And messi's dribbles are far better thats y hes averages far more dribbles
Messi is also a far better playmaker, possibly the best in the world too(because of his vision, passing and dribbling)
Ronaldo must be respected, make no mistake about that.
Messi is i think at least 50% better than him especially now
2007-2010 they were prolly very close but not now
So its fair that messi finishes his career with more ballon D'ors

cRobo:
All votes based on sentiment in favour for Messi

Ronaldo still remain the best

Messi is a one team man can't excel beyond Barcelona

Also good for VVD for talking trash of Ronaldo that he wasn't a rival to him, stardom gotten to his head, unimaginable disrespect for Ronaldo

Does extention change your final voting? What is the guarantee that the extension worked in favor of CR7

Cletus77:
it's all good. Everyone is a winner

Am only laughing at those CR7 fans that wanted VVD to win because of bitterness shift lemme get a better view

pray Liverpool don't draw Barca again dis year in UEFA Semis.

memories of 4-0 will be Resurrected @ ANFIELD.

u must have cried 4 a month after barcas heavy defeat @ ANFIELD.

After d 4-0,...... Who win World best?

Tears everywhere

See them, the congregation of lazy youths.

kingkakaone:

Stop using that Barcelona talk as an escape pod.
Nobody voted on sentiments, they saw the stats and did it accordingly.
Even the players and captains who voted in FIFA the Best did same for Messi.

Isn't it surprising to you that most players rate Messi higher than Ronaldo?

It is non footballers who know nothing about the game that come up with change of club bull craps.


In ten years, nobody will talk about a nomadic player who moved up and down, everyone will talk about what you won overall and how many balloon D'or, and other trophies you won.

This z d most valid point....stat even shows that those times cr7 won,it was mostly on the votes of non performing coaches n country captains.....internationally aclaimed world class coaches and team captains who know what good football is have always voted Messi...Although i must say he is mostly enjoying his Talent rather than his hardwork.ronaldo deserves some accolades for his commitment to improving...if messi trains 30% as hard as ronaldo...he'll be d king of sport.thats Ronald's pain,he thinks everything is about hardwork...talent is not skill,nature simply placed the little man yards ahead of him b4 d race started.

No absentee has ever won this award, once cr7 is not there, he already knows the outcome.

Congrats to the GOAT Messi!

The purpose of dribbling and all elaboration is to score.
Ronaldo gives you that. He scores, assists and helps team win while keeping it simple. Some of us like simplicity.
CR7 has proved himself a better footballer all round than Messi. He delivers for Portugal and his club sides. Messi is a very limited player who needs Barca system to thrive. When the going goes tough, like in later stages of the UCL, Messi goes missing while CR7 brings on the party when the going becomes tough.
Messi is no equal to CR7, he is only winning this 6th balon d'or ahead of CR7 because CR7 was robbed last year. VVD definitely would have been a more deserving winner than Modric was last year.

Goke7:
Messi try learn English nah, haba

English is not a requirement for winning Ballon do'r... Join us and celebrate king Messi. English no help anybody.

That's the only silverware messi will carry till he retires. They are just deceiving him by giving him those awards so that he will postpone his retirement. GOAT Wey no fit chop grass for ANFIELD, That one na goat. ; As usual he will bottle their ucl quarter-final.

Even Messi knows he didn't deserve it.

I don't know that and I don't believe so. The election that saw GEJ out was postponed for some weeks but it didn't change the eventual loss to confused PMB.

The World's Greatest Sportsman Ever

It still won't qualify him to the 2019/2020 champions league final

m140:

Lolzzzz, bros this thing no dey pain me , he still doesn't deserve it than VVD. Things he cant do in WC, only in Barca shirt

Celebrate divine giftedness! Don't let envy kill you. Messi is a superb divine talent. I wonder why you guys hate seeing the best at the top. May a mediocre not rule over your life!
Clamour for the best and stop being pedantic!

'' Messi is a very limited player who needs Barca system to thrive''... Thank u sir

Whatever that works and give you joy. There's no way you won't excel.... Messi love FCB with passion and it is working for him.

Ojoro.... like say na cr7 get advantage, dem for give Van, like they robbed him twice with Moderic & Kaka...

Tenny05:

Yes because you deserve the award for jealousy and bitterness. That dude is a divine craft. Accept it! He will win at least one more before he retires. Brace up for more emotional trauma.
