Something about Pogba that's kind of interesting is that he counts as a home grown player for Man Utd for CL squads, which helps a lot with roster flexibility, since none of the young guys of the past few years panned out except for Rashford. And I think Mou doesn't like youngsters in general?

Also another reason I always buy Pogba in FM.

Impossible for Ronaldo to lose Ballon d'Or this year, right?
CL win with Real and Euro final with Portugal which was partly carried by him.

Only person with a shot should be Suarez and even if he outscores him by 3:1 for the first half of next season I still think it's quite unlikely

What about Griezmann? MVP with Atletico most of the season, MVP with France. A lot less goals than Ronaldo, but for a me, a much bigger impact this season... Also it's not like Messi has had a bad season: la Liga, Copa del Rey, Copa America final, a good amount of goals (including beating Batistuta's record with Argentina).

Unless Ronaldo carries Portugal on Sunday, I can see the Ballon d'Or being given to the one with the most flashy August-October. So most likely Ronaldo/Messi. 65/35 Ronaldo for now but you never know.

Messi and Suárez were better than CR over the year IMO, but he will probably win it and if he wins the Euro then it's basically 100%.

Wondering if the one he was given without winning a single trophie is more bs than this or not. The lucky wins and shitty teams he had to beat to get both finals is just jaw dropping lol.

It's still less ridicilous than Messi winning that year when Sneijder won everything at club level and Spain won World cup.

I think it's close Cannavaro was probably worse than the two tho.

Based on the past ~10 years the biggest value for Ballon d'Or title seems to be CL goals. So yeah CR7 is going to win this year.

CR7 and Messi are in top2 as usual, doesn't matter how "bad" they played. In my eyes, Di Maria 2014 and Suarez 2016.

I would have voted Iniesta in 2010, but Iniesta/Xavi/Sneider all deserved more than Messi.

Ballon d'or is ridicolous since they changed the format, Asian and African votes just vote the most famous player. So I would not expect Griezman in the top 3, despite he deserves it.

The State attorney on Messi's case is Maria Silva Lapuerta.

Maria Silva is a former RM directive and right hand of Florentino Pérez between the years 2000-2006, who then got a directive spot in a builder company (Sacyr) between 2003-2009, which is nice considering Pérez builder company is like the biggest in the country. She is also the daughter of a former fascist (Franco) minister, which means nothing but it's always cool because the PP party high ranks are filled with them to the tits.

Not saying Messi is innocent of course, just sharing these bunch of sweet coincidences

While this is a legitimate complaint, I think you will complain about this to your grave everytime the award is brought up.

That wrong isnt an excuse for another wrong and is totally unrelated at this point. Even the statute of limitations on murder isnt as long as you have been complaining about this lol.

I only bring it up when someone mentions Ronaldo's unfair Ballon d'Or. That's fair, isn't it?

Who cares? Whatever biases the prosecutor has against the defendant are irrelevant. She is not required to be impartial, quite the contrary.

yeah for that case maybe, but choosing to selectively uphold the law isnt exactly in good taste.
