2022 Ballon d'Or

[jamrock]

3 is definitely huge, but in his mind I'm sure he thought he would match those two.

 

[soul24rage]

Funny thing is if either CR7 or Messi didn't exist, we would have a player with like, 10-12 ballon dors now?

So, potential for even more is clearly there, if only one super player appears in a generation.

Imo,

2008 - Torres
2009 - Xavi
2010 - Xavi/Sneijder
2011 - Xavi
2012- Iniesta
2013 - Ribery
2014 - Neuer
2015 - Neymar
2016 - Suarez/Griezmann
2017 - Neymar/Buffon
2018 - Modric/Salah
2019 - VVD
2020 - Covid
2021 - Lewy
2022 - Big Benz

Xavi would have been the the super player of the non-Messi/CR7 generation

france football should strip messi of his fraudulent bdor and give it to lewa

this year its benzema without a doubt

 

[Flavius]

Only if DeBruyne does a masterclass vs Real and qualify in the final and wins the premier league too, than he can take it away from Benz.

 

[Rassvet]

Mane could end up being a big contender in this after all. Two more goals for him today and he might be able to usurp Salah as the Liverpool player who could win this if they manage to win the champions league. He also has the edge of winning AFCON and qualifying for the world cup over Salah.

True, I have Mane as 2nd behind Big Benz currently.

Still lots can change to the end of the season.

Ceremony is on october 17th, nominees announced on august 12th.

Set your calendars.

Big drip benz. Dude was clutch as fuck, biggest difference in crucial ties, both cl and la liga. No brainer for me

 

[Rassvet]

Could be an all Madrid podium with Benzema, Courtois, and Vinicius this year after the final

 

[khaled_a_d]

So, players born in 90's wait another year to win that award.
See you in 2023

 

[Rassvet]

My preliminary top 10

1. Benzema
2. Courtois
3. Mbappe
4. Lewandowski
5. Vinicius
6. De Bruyne
7. Salah
8. Mane
9. Son
10. Rodri

 

[jamrock]

11. Messi

 

[JohnS]

As good a season as Benzema has had how can anyone vote for someone who should be in prison for Blackmailing a team mate. He was given a Fine of 75000 Euros(less than a months wages and a 1 year suspened prison sentence. His club should have sacked him. Balon d'or he should have got tBalon and chain around his ankle

 

[Horatio]

Suarez got boycotted for biting.
