The only true robbery in BdO history is the one single year where France Football/FIFA re-opened the votes for the award in very convenient fashion and timing for a player who went on to win the award whilst having won no trophies in the voting period and having a worse individual season than the runner-up.

Although I suppose eliminating the perennial World Champions Sweden was quite the achievement.

It's amazing someone gets such amazing credit for winning a play-off game (yes I know Messi did too against Ecuador). The perverse thing is if Portugal had qualified automatically - as they should have, them not was a failure - the guy would never have won the BD. Ridiculous when you think about it.

Ballon d'Or guidelines for the past 15 years have basically been give it to Messi if you can find an excuse to and only give it Ronaldo/RL9 if you can't find an excuse not to

They should have followed their policy all the way through, give the man 15.
