Re: The Official Balon d'Or 2014 Thread
I'll rent a helicopter on 12. January and fly from Berlin to Zürich, with stops in Wolfsburg and Sinsheim, which are along the route anyway.
Then I'll land on the roof of the Kongresshaus and crash the party with Ricardo Rodriguez and Roberto Firmino.
Top 10 players in the world ffs, absolute disgrace they're not nominated.
After we've been removed from the premises Rodriguez can take a tram to visit his family, while I go to have a drink and gamble a bit in a casino with Roberto.
I can sleep a couple of hours in the train station and take the MeinFernbus bus back to Berlin next day, only 33€, dirt cheap.
Rodriguez and Firmino got enough money to pay for a flight.
Or maybe I've been winning at black jack and go fly with them, which would be better, 12 hours bus ride is a bit undesirable

@M99 Loic Perrin is the CB for St Etienne. Very good. he was part of the extended squad for WC with France NT. Not sure how he made it into this list though He's the only defender there

Has a player who went out of the WC in the group stages, ever went on to win the Ballon d'or?

Re: The Official Balon d'Or 2014 Thread
Paco Aguilar is no longer Spanish journalist to vote for Ballon d'Or after last year's Madrid-inspired manipulation to let Ronaldo win. [md]
Aguilar says Ballon d'Or co-organizer France Football has turned into a Real Madrid fanzine and that he has been victim of mobbing. [md]
Not that it's surprise to anyone if you follow even remotely the media.

I wonder what will happen when Ronaldo wins the next two ballon d'ors. I wonder if he will have to console little Messi again:
It's ok. All will be well.

Re: The Official Balon d'Or 2014 Thread
Why not include every official game they played? If I got the numbers right:
Messi played 49 official games (CdR 6|WC 7|CL 7|Liga 29) in 2014 so far.
Ronaldo played 43 official games (CdR 6|WC 3|CL 9|Liga 22|ECQ 1|SC 1|USC 1) in 2014 so far.
Btw I have Messi at 40+20 and Ronaldo at 47+11.

Re: The Official Balon d'Or 2014 Thread
Btw stats like that matter *bleep* all. At the end of the day football is a cup game. The wc is a cup, the cl is a cup, the ec is a cup. The biggest tournaments there are are cups and in a cup it doesn't matter if you win top scorer or stuff like that. Only thing that matters is being the main player in the big games. General stats are nice to have and if I'd like to know which player I want to buy I'd rather use them but to judge a players' year I wouldn't use them. You can score 100 goals - if you fail in the biggest games you still failed that season.

Re: The Official Balon d'Or 2014 Thread
It doesn't matter how much you play, player who plays is better than player who doesn't. It's about overall output of the year, that's why Cronaldo won it last season. Because he could play more than injured Messi.Hapless_Hans wrote:

Re: The Official Balon d'Or 2014 Thread
Why do people find it annoying that it's always Messi or Ronaldo? I know it's hard to appreciate because they've been around for a while, but they are arguably the two best players of all time and playing out their primes before our eyes. The media shoves them down our throats, yes, but that's because of how ridiculous what they are doing is. Nobody else is close to them.

Really? What about Philipp Lahm who excels as LB, RB, DM, CM or whatever position he is thrown in bar goalkeeper? Only because he doesn't score goals, his playing intelligence isn't worth anything?

Philipp Lahm is a boring player who will be forgotten very quickly though, at no point was he ever the best player in the world. He's was never even the best player on his team.
Much much much better players than him have not won the Balon D'Or lol.
