FIFA Ballon d'Or list 2012

[Spike 12,049]

Del Bosque is a great manager but some of his selctions for the Euros and some his Starting XIs were very questionable.

Cesc as 'False 9' gets my vote as bad decision. Cesc has the ability, vision and all the technique required to play as a 'False 9' but he lacks mobility and agility.

Most players & managers just get on these lists because of reputation (ferguson & Rooney for example)

If RDM doesn't win the manager award then this is quite clearly fixed. What he achieved in such a short space of time was not bettered by any other manager last year.

Rooney gets his usual token entry.

Mata not even being on the list is a joke. Was easily our best player last season and it was in a team that won the champions league and fa cup, as well as also playing a part in Spain winning the Euro's.

Mata being there would be a joke.He doesn't deserve it.

Our players that should be there:Cech,Cole and Drogba

Defenders

1. Vincent Kompany

2. Ashley Cole

3. Mats Hummels

No way Hummels was better than Thiago Silva. Milan was a title contender last year with Ibra and Silva, look how they are now...

It is not fixed, as you said: it is about reputation/popularity. RDM wont win it because it is a voting poll, the big names and more pedigree win it...

Atletico manager Simeone should be on list too.

[mediator 2,026]

What I want: 1. Drogba, 2. Ronaldo, 3. Neymar/Balotelli.

What will happen: 1. Messi, 2. Ronaldo, 3. Iniesta.

3. Neymar / Balotelli what do you smoke dude? Must be good

3. Neymar / Balotelli what do you smoke dude? Must be good

I did not say they deserved it. I want it. It is very, very, very different. So just stop with the agressive language and read it clearly.

Neymar: Would be epic to see a non-european footballer making it.

Balotelli: Would make an absolutely epic interview.

Yeah thats what I was getting at, I don't mean "fixed" in so many words, but more reputation based than actual footballing achievements for the year.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Im sure Ibra will say something like this after Messi/Ronaldo wins it: I dont need trophy, everyone knows Im the best.

Like a boss.
