Just missed it.

If there's any justice, Gigantic Neuer should win.

Sick of the Garlic Belt getting all the plaudits ffs.

Completely random post...

Someone on Twitter just mentioned about Diego Milito playing in Argentina....

I assumed he must have been 2nd or 3rd in Balon D'Or in 2010.... wasn't even on the 23man shortlist Scored the the winner in the Italian cup final, the goals that won them the league and the Champions League final goals.

Surely Simeone has to win the coach award, the season he pulled off last season, is in my opinion, unrivalled from any manager in the last 10-20years.

A goalkeeper can never be voted the best player on earth, its not even the same game they play.

Its got to be Ronny,

Neuer is fantastic but he plays for Bayern ffs. He only makes a couple of saves a month.

As much as he deserves it, I don't think they'll give it him after the way he kicked off in the Champion's League final.

I think they'll give it to Löw .

And a couple of diving headers outside his area the £#%&!ing mooncat.

So is this it? The same 2 @#%&!s as every year or some demented german keeper? Is the dearth of actual world class players that bad these days?

Zlatan is up there with Ronaldo and Messi. But yes not many worldies around.

All over social media now you see all sorts of #@&%!heads worshipping Ronaldo, all support teams like aston villa or Wolves who were only too happy to boo the £#%&! out of him when he was at United and call him an over-rated cheat.

He's nowhere near, tbh.

He's a top player, but Ronaldo and Messi are far superior to him.
