That would be last year hence Modric winning.You can pretty much dismiss league form when there's a WC year. Only WC and CL counts.

That was the Ballon d'or, this a different award.That would be last year hence Modric winning.
He won Fifa best player award last year in Sept as well.That was the Ballon d'or, this a different award.
The Cristiano Ronaldo award for being Cristiano RonaldoThey should make a separate list for Ronaldo and Messi and stop including those two in any other lists whatsoever.
Its a fair point but ultimately trophies always play a huge part in these awards and arguably the biggest factor.Honestly judging a player based on trophies feels so false to me. It's a team game, and the FIFA awards are awarded based on individual performance.
You can't say that player x is better than player y just because he happens to play on a better team. He might have been more successful in winning trophies with his team, but it doesnt say everything about his individual performance.
Ah ok. This is just some arbitrary award picked by a handful of "experts" who probably base it more on international and European Cup form than league since it's impossible for them to watch it all.He won Fifa best player award last year in Sept as well.
Nooooo!Van Dijk for sure.
I agree based on the shortlist but given that the public make up 25% of the vote it may not be that straightforward as he has competition from both International and Club team mates that could split his vote as captains, coaches and media make up the other 75%. Someone like Ronaldo has a massive online fan base so he will be there or thereabouts. Only Real Madrid players have won it so far - Ronaldo twice and Modric once.Van Dijk for sure.
To highlight how ridiculous the voting was : Koulobaly finished 13th, Laporte 17th, Alves 5th, Oblak 5th , Eriksen 14th , Son 14th in their respective positionsTweet

The gala right now is so boring I nearly fell asleep twice already. I'm not even getting into ridiculous examples you've given.Might be the worst Fifpro XI in all these years. How did they manage to fit in Marcelo, Modric and Ramos along with Hazard in MF is beyond imagination. Bernardo Silva, Salah, Robertson, TAA incredibly unlucky to miss out.

The Ballon d’Or.Which of the 2 best player in the world awards is more prestigious now? It has been split into 2, hasn't it?
This is chosen by international players and they put Marcelo as the best LB of the past season, that says enough about what a charade this trophy is.Which of the 2 best player in the world awards is more prestigious now? It has been split into 2, hasn't it?
December/January most likely. France Football has not announced it yet, to my knowledge.4 Madrid players, 2 Liverpool ones, Marcelo in there. Laughable to say the least.
When does Ballon D'or take place?

Alisson has a lot to thank his teammates for.Honestly judging a player based on trophies feels so false to me. It's a team game, and the FIFA awards are awarded based on individual performance.

isn't this this Ballon D'or?
No. This is FIFA’s version, the Ballon d’Or will be held later.isn't this this Ballon D'or?
That is incorrect.Kicker reports it that way, saying he is now sole record holder again with 6 times.
Google has it completely wrong.No. This is FIFA’s version, the Ballon d’Or will be held later.
How can people not know this by now?
I got confused because Messi and Ronaldo both have both trophies the same amount of times.That is incorrect.
Because most normal fans don't really give a shit about the Ballon d'Or.No. This is FIFA’s version, the Ballon d’Or will be held later.
