Andrés Iniesta

[Corb]

He probably meant Ronaldo de Lima.

That would make much more sense.

With all due respect to the best player in Europe, I don't see Iniesta winning the Ballon Dor and here are the reasons why:

The European award was live voting and the Ballon Dor isn't. Big chance that the journalists talked before the gala and decided to vote all the same.
Both Ronaldo and Messi scored a brace in the 2-2 clasico, which is a shout out to all that its a fight between them two.
The European award had 50 journalists, the ballon dor is at least 150+ individual votes. The more people vote the less likely it to be mistake prone.

That is how I see it.

Dude, with all due respect, your reasons don't make any sense...

1. Why would journalists talk and agree on whom to vote for? Couldn't the 150+ Ballon d'Or voters do the same via email?
2. While the game attracts a lot of attention, it's only one game and the award goes for a whole season! What if Iniesta was the one who scored a brace? Would Messi be out of the race?
3. Are you implying that Iniesta winning European Footballer of the Year was a mistake?

Its easy to talk before and during the gala. No one will be sending emails. I'm not implying anything about the European Footballer award.

As much as I love this player, no way Iniesta wins the Ballon dor. Mark my words.

 

[xaviniesta]

its a conspiracy, the emails and talking before gala...

[Ode to Django]

Maybe they should have two Balon d'or awards and give both Ronaldo & Messi one, so the snoozefest can end.

 

[footyfan]

Well if you take the literal meaning of the award Best Player in Europe 2011/12, do you really think Iniesta winning it was not a mistake?

Don't get me wrong, I also agree Iniesta won't win it, it's just that your reasons seemed odd to me...

I don't think the 20 people who voted for him did it by accident... If he deserved it or not is a completely different discussion, but surely it was no mistake...

xavi iniesta busquets in midfield - you could put 100 white shirts around them, they would still keep the ball.
