Modric for Golden ball winner

[resistanze]

Ribery, Xavi were all victims of the times tbh

Barça got to the CL final in 2008 only because of the ref scandal of the century where Chelsea got robbed 5-6 penalties in semis. United was likely to win vs Chelsea, and Ronaldo got robbed of his second Balon D'Or in 2008.

Not sure how Snejder or Forlán didn't got the trophy in 2010, either.

Ronaldo's win in 2013 was suspect too. It should have gone to Ribéry.

UEFA and FIFA just wanted to create the Messi vs Cristiano rivalry. Legendary players, no question about that, but neither could shine in World Cups past group stages.

Players like Rossi, Maradona, Romario, Ronaldo and Zidane always delivered. No wonder their teams won the Mundial.

Nah sons. Messi and Sidenaldo deserved all the Golden Balls they won. The Golden Ball is given to the footballer that performed the best individually in a given season. What Messi and Sidenaldo did on those years they won had never been done before. Back then, since it was a novelty, justice was made and voters didn't give a about team accomplishments. Now seeing Messi and Sidenaldo score 60 goal per season and hand 20 assists got old, so they went back to the re ed "most recognisable player on winning team" bull criteria.
