Ballon d'Or

Totally agree.

[didierforever 7,349]

loew?? seriously?

no godin? no luis? no gabi and now no simeone?... this is SHIT!!!

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

The fact Godin and Simeone are not winners is the biggest cry of outrage imaginable. What an absolute farce and is 100% a popularity contest rather than rational analysis of performance.

[The Chels 2,502]

how the hell did Simeone not win? Actually it isn't that surprising. Mourinho won the 2010 award with just 3% more votes than Vicente del Bosque even though winning the treble with Inter Milan >>>>>> winning the WC with the best team. I reckon half of the people who vote don't even watch club football.

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Simeone didn't win!?!?! Oh dear. That is hilarious. Ah well, he can rest easy knowing the vast majority of the football viewing public know who the real winner is. Top coach!

Thiago and Luiz in defence HAHA!

[didierforever 7,349]

la liga winners, CL finalists (beating the likes of chelsea and barca), super copa winners (beating RM over 2 legs) and not a single player in the TOTY and simeone does not get the coach of the year award..

its all about popularity and big NAMES. what a joke!!!

[edetarod 2,155]

this is actually not a bad comedy show

[FabHazard 655]

voting percentage: Joachim loew 36.23% ancelotti 22.06% simeone 19.02%

Atleti lack of representation and total neglect at this award is pretty disgusting and baffling. It's actually pissing me off.

[The Chels 2,502]

Given how much emphasis voters have seemingly put on the WC I wouldn't be surprised to see Neuer win the Ballon d'Or.

They won hardly anything in La Liga's own award ceremony too.

Nah Ballondor is like a popularity award, I'll be surprised if Ronaldo does not win it.

Travesty. An insult to the entire organisation.

Diego Godin, Koke and Diego Costa not even in the fifpro reserve XI.

At least the best midfielder in the world last season (Modric) made the reserve team.

This actually makes me sad

Also wonder if that gorgeous presenter speaks Romanian, too. Seems to be fluent in every language you will find on this planet.

dont think costa deserved it. suarez was the best striker last year and his absence is a little shocking but its hard to argue with that front 3. but no godin and luis (who was without a doubt the best left back of last season) is shocking

no modric is another joke.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

I think Zlatan's backheel against Bastia was better than all the goals that have made it into the final.

[Spike 12,049]

At least the Puskas always goes to a very spectacular goal.

Neymar is in the reserve team although he finished the season with no trophy and 20 goals less than Diego Costa.
