Wasn't it decided by fan votes online? That's probably why some of the selections are so awful.

List of who everyone voted for in the Ballon d'Or

Conclusion: The media really wanted Ribery to win.

I think it's a good thing that it's not just the media decidingwho wins but that there are multiple voters all with different backgrounds. It makes it fairer.

anyway Ronaldo is a hero for me only real men dare to cry in incredibly emotional situations.

Why is Matic so keen on rejoining Chelsea. I mean yes it is a step up again from Benfica in terms of playing in the league and team mates, however they did let him leave in a deal to sign another player lol. We haven't exactly been nice to him xD

Oh well, better news for us

"Matic has announced he has played his last game for Benfica and wants to re join Chelsea"

TBH, I don't think professional players pay that much of attention to their treatment in the past. As long as the clubs are paying for their services and managers don't handle them like Ferguson did with Beckham, they probably don't care. Plus, even if Matic fails completely in Chelsea, he will still be free to go somewhere else and it's certainly easier to fly away from Stamford than from Portugese League. I think he's just like "This is my chance and I gotta take it cause there might not be another one".

Damn, typing that made me so nostalgic about times when Eto'o held the grudge against Real and stated that he will bang the goals in Madrid's net till Perez admits that letting him go was the biggest mistake of his life.

sure but in baseball for example, which is the only sport that rivals football in cultural history, the MVP award is almost never given to a player who played on a losing team. When the competition for the award is very close, it makes sense to judge how well their teams played as opposed to further analyzing their individual contribution, especially in football where stats mean very little compared to other major sports.


He made the difference for Portugal though.

99% of players dont care one bit about loyalty, honour or how they were treated

Yeah seems that way lol.
Very strange, i know we bought Matic through the youth system and everything but you would of thought he would be more cagey to rejoin or wouldn't be as willing as the media are portraying it to be.,

Well but if Matic never played in the Chelsea youth then Benfica probably would've never noticed and bought him.

I'm hoping the delay in the confirmation for Matic's transfer is because there are other players involved in the transfer with whom Benfica has to negotiate contracts.

EDIT: Actually just read in O Jogo that the deal should include 2 Chelsea players.

Benfica didn't exactly buy him, he was included in the David Luiz deal.

The most impressive thing for me is that he created 47 chances. Not to mention he put in a lot of defensive effort as well.
I think Uruguay may well have 2 best strikers if you count offensive as well as defensive capabilities.
Imagine a place where the Alps meet the Mediterranean, where you can pick autumn fruits in the morning, bathe in the Adriatic in the afternoon, and go night skiing in the evening…It’s Slovenia!
