@Cristiano Haha. You’re actually celebrating a made up “award” that was bought with paid votes? Cmon dude… where were you at the actual Ballon dor award? Yeah that’s right- not nominated.
@spencermorgan93 Are you guys seriously celebrating a contrived “award” which you had to pay to vote for? Have you been so starved of accolades recently that you’re willing to throw a party over a guff “award”? Where was Ronnie ranked in the real Ballon dor done a few days ago? Clownish behavior.
@charles_watts I’m an Arsenal fan but this is a silly take. The WC is by far the most prestigious sporting event in the world, not just football. Simon and Raya were on the same team- Spain. Simon played ahead of Raya and did great. Spain won the WC. End of story.
@megavolto2k26@sidlowe@aviralwastaken He played exceptionally against the teams he had to face. And England is not mid. The Argentina England game was one of the games of the tournament and a legendary match for Messi as he bossed and dictated the final 25-30 minutes. At age 39. That’s the context that applies here.
@sidlowe Ronaldo should’ve retired 4 years ago. There are dozens of players ahead of him for nominations such as this, especially after he had a very disappointing World Cup and basically held back a great Portugal team, at least great on paper.
@megavolto2k26@sidlowe@aviralwastaken No you can’t name 30 players better than Messi this year. He was the best player at the WC at age 39. He probably won’t win the ballon dor, but he’ll be in the top 5, which is remarkable all the same.
