Ballon d'Or 2014

[nnao]

He actually changed it,doing it this way will influence next generations of GKs .he took it to a whole new level and it will be taught to young GK prospects .that is the reason he gets hype .b/c while he isn't better that Buffon/Casillas at their prime he is a one who will affect goalkeeping for future




RM media tried to hype him ,they tried it again in 2012 too .but with Xavi&Iniesta it wasn't him gaining such momentum that Neuer has now .he doesn't simply have a competition from fellow Germans,Muller ain't that good tbh and all of Germans are hyping him

I place all 3 at same level.

I agree with you on that and personally I'd place Robben and DiMaria above them.

Your statement just sounded as too much of a generalization to me.

 

[Jägermeister]

If you are not even capable of writing his 5-letter name correctly, maybe you should refrain from participating in this discussion altogether, escpecially since you are on record admitting to being a German hater.
Let me be frank, your opinion is essentially a worthless pile of crap.

No need to get offensive.
Everyone has the right to say his opinion even if it's against the oh so holy Bayern.

I mean good enough to to compete for the Ballon d'Or,he is obviously a very good player

 

[Ursegor]

"Messi/Ronaldo scored another hat-trick the other night." "Aye, but did you see Neuer come miles off his line and punt the ball into touch?"

He deserves this one. But his 2nd, he didn't. It was a pathetic, with the corruption of reopening votes, bladder intentional "joke", etc. That tainted this award beyond repair, imo.

France football made a really bad decision when they decided to unify their award with fifa.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Imo Leo did not deserve the 2010 one. It should have been Xavi and Sneijder 2nd.

Why didn't Ronaldo deserve the second one??? He was the best player in 2013. You can't just discount Messi's injuries. Even without the injuries, Messi really was not better.

Ronaldo only came in the recknoning during his last couple of freak months before the voting ended.

If a couple of months is enough to deserve it then you're right.

Even with injuries, Messi had a better year. He won la liga, was pichichi with 46 goals. Messi also has a good run of games with Argentina. I fail to see why cr deserved, as the voting ends in november. If anything, ribery deserved more than he did.

Ronaldo was more impressive throughout the first 4 months of the year. Have you forgotten how poor/injured Messi was in the big games in that stretch? If anything, Messi was only more impressive in September and maybe March.

??? Ronaldo finished with a lot more goals than Messi and also a much better goal per game ratio for 2013. Pichichi doesn't matter, a huge chunk came in 2012 anyway. Barca's league win was pretty much also settled in 2012 and Messi also did not play in quite a few games in 2013 that led to the 100 points.

Messi did not have a better year, if that was the case then Ronaldo had a better year in 2012 because he won La Liga?

 

[6 Ballons for Messi]

Anything else than leo winning it would be a disgrace.
