You're just lazy!

[Madmax 9,219]

You're just lazy!

Guilty as charged

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Should be Di Maria or Neuer but will be Ronaldo

And James looks sooo out of place on that list it's not even funny.

No Suarez. Ronaldo deserves it. Iniesta!? LMAOOOO!!!

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

Penaldo will surely win it. should be Neuer even though I hate the one arrogant shithead just as much as the other one, u have to admire their ambition, drive and commitment.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

James had a great world cup. But it's so unfair to guys like Silva, Suarez that they miss out. Goetze same thing. He's a good player but he wasn't a pivotal player for Bayern or Germany. World cup performances hold too much weight imo.

[didierforever 7,349]

Ronaldo and cholo hands down. Not even a competition.

[Spike 12,049]

Has to be Muller, Costa, or Lahm. Simeone wins coach of the year.

You know Ronaldo?

[Spike 12,049]

You know Ronaldo?

Hue hue hue, u r so funny. A condescending rhetorical question seasoned with a little sarcams. jajajajajaja

He is good but is he even important? Portugal were awful in the world cup, he lost the league, Supercopa de Espana and scored a consolation goal in the CL final. He didn't score or assist in the Copa del Rey final. Not the best player in the world.

Bale scored more important goals than him.

17 goals in CL. Leading scorer on CL winners and Copa Del Rey winners. Leading goalscorer in La Liga. Got Portugal to the WC.

Same could be said about Costa who you suggested. Spain were awful in the world cup. Didn't score in the CL final. Didn't score in the Semi's of Copa Del Rey over 2 legs. Didn't score in Supercopa De Espana. Not the best player in the world.

Ronaldo is more deserving than Costa or Muller.
