๐จ ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ: Leo Messi won the 2010 Ballon dโOr despite scoring 0 goals at the 2010 World Cup. The argument then was that ONE month of international football shouldnโt outweigh NINE months of club football.
Now, in 2026, multiple reports have Messi as the Ballon dโOr favourite after Argentinaโs World Cup run included Jordan, Cape Verde and Egypt.
Has the Ballon dโOr criteria changed, or only when it comes to Messi? ๐ค
@thomassist25_ Crazy that we have the GOAT in goal. Yet you ask for ulbrig whoโs never played in a semi to play instead. Their goals were top class. I trust the neuer any day of the week currently. He was not the problem.
@Sextuple_winner Heโs a good player for sure. But he needs to lock in his position to be great. If he keeps rotating then heโll be on loan to another team in two years for sure
