yes they shouldThey should just give him a 2020 ballon d'or in retrospect.

Does colossal loser mean winner in Spanish, or what am I missing here?Messi would be a ridiculous win. Literally rewarding him for being a colossal loser with his national team.
I think it means not winning the world cup.Does colossal loser mean winner in Spanish, or what am I missing here?
Bad take.Messi would be a ridiculous win. Literally rewarding him for being a colossal loser with his national team.
He also won the CL that year tbfBad take.
Messi was top scorer of La Liga, and best player of Copa America.
Cristiano in 2016 wasn't best player of the Euro, it was Griezmann...and he still won Balloon D'or that year.
Messi winning the Copa America is being blown out of proportion simply because 1) he's Messi, and 2) he had inexplicably failed to win it until now. Nobody was arguing that Luis Suarez or Alexis Sanchez needed to be anywhere near contention for a Balon D'Or because they were the best players during other Copas.Does colossal loser mean winner in Spanish, or what am I missing here?
The award is, as far as I'm aware, for the calendar year, not the season.Messi was top scorer of La Liga
They also didn’t go up against a team as good as the Brazil squad Messi faced and they didn’t break records during those respective CopasMessi winning the Copa America is being blown out of proportion simply because 1) he's Messi, and 2) he had inexplicably failed to win it until now.

Better than any team those other teams you mentioned played against in the finalsThe famously unstoppable Brazil squad of 2021. Garrincha'd be shaking in his boots. Zico wouldn't make the bench.
His Copa got blown up for a reason you're deliberately ignoring because you're so biased, it's also funny how you argue that the award is for the calendar year and then in your next sentence you highlight four league games.Messi winning the Copa America is being blown out of proportion simply because 1) he's Messi, and 2) he had inexplicably failed to win it until now.

Messi joined PSG this summer, where he's scored zero league goals.
Over the calendar year ? I don't think you realize that it includes the months in which Salah wasn't close to the player he's been these past few weeks.as a united man its feels wrong to say. if its not salah its wrong. its supposed to be over the calender year and no one has been close to him
even when liverpool werent playing well or even winning at start on the year. he was still scoring and from april until now he been unplayable. however it is a cert he wont score this weekend cause i triple captained him so he wont get a touchOver the calendar year ?

Voting ended a while ago, so they can't change their minds now, Messi has won it.Messi winning thanks to a Copa America that should have never been played after Lewandowski was robbed of it because FF decided to withdraw the award due to COVID would be the height of injustice
I hope the journalists see this too and do the right thing
We don't know if the leaks are true.Voting ended a while ago, so they can't change their minds now, Messi has won it.
Sure, whatever makes you sleep at night bud.His Copa was blown up because he's Messi. That's it.
Can apply the same exercise with France 2016 that lost the Final to Portugal at homeThe famously unstoppable Brazil squad of 2021. Garrincha'd be shaking in his boots. Zico wouldn't make the bench.
0 chance.Not saying he should win it but does anyone feel that Ronaldo is in contention for this , or is this award something that’s only in his past now?
Won’t be top 3Not saying he should win it but does anyone feel that Ronaldo is in contention for this , or is this award something that’s only in his past now?
Really should be, even more so with how he’s started this season. 22 in 16. Animal.It really should be Lewandowski
No way, he was playing in Serie A, which is far from being best league in the world, he could score 40 for Juventus, still i don't think it will matter much for being top contender for Ballon D'or...same reason Messi will be judged for his CL run at PSG, not for what he does in Ligue 1.Not saying he should win it but does anyone feel that Ronaldo is in contention for this , or is this award something that’s only in his past now?
This year, he is not in contention to win it.Not saying he should win it but does anyone feel that Ronaldo is in contention for this , or is this award something that’s only in his past now?
It's really more about the 2020-2021 season than the 2021-2022 season otherwise they wouldn't close voting in october and have the award in November.Messi really doesn't deserve it this year. I like the guy, worthy winner in all other years but he's basically played half a year of football
