Another penalty miss. With Lukaku record you would expect him to take over from him. 

Sommer is a beast at pens

has blocked 20 now

True, still think Rom should take over . It’s more important to have your cf freely scoring and giving his confidence a regular boost

We have had some elite penalty takers for a while now. Lampard for all those years, then Hazard, and now Jorginho.

Leaked Ballon d Or... Last couple of years leaks were always right.

 

[Atomiswave 6,072]

None of our players were gonna win it anyway, besides fuck these accolades. Give me legit throphies any day.

But Messi also does not deserves it with horrible Barca results in LaLiga and CL. Salah won nothing also. Benzema same. Why is Mbappe 6th? He eliminated France from EURO and failed to win Ligue 1 with PSG. Embarrassing.

None of them deserve it.

Balon d'Or's criteria changes every year. From which player had the best individual season to which player had the best influence to their club winning silverware. 

[OneMoSalah 8,616]

The Balon d’Or It is an individual award so why do people think that even if Messi scores near 40 goals, carrying the worst Barcelona team of the last 15 years ultimately winning nothing that it makes a difference? Or if Lewandowski scores 40-50 goals and won 1 trophy, that again it makes a difference? It doesn’t. It never has. It never will. Or to be more accurate perhaps, not since Ronaldo and Messi started winning it because thats when their numbers became incredible and then football was moving more and more towards attacking stats dominating the sport and the these types of awards. Modric winning it was an absolute shocker to everybody. 

It is impressive if those rankings are true, that Jorginho has made 5th and Kante 7th but the majority of other guys in that top 10 are attackers, the way football is so stat orientated was always going to mean that goal scorers will always be valued above midfielders, defenders and goalkeepers. Even if its not necessarily a fair reflection but thats why these level of attackers are so hard to find too because you don’t get many at this sort of level. 

Again who knows if thats even accurate but if it is, I don’t think a lot of people will be shocked guys like Lewa, Messi, Benzema, Salah are above Jorgi and Ngolo.

fuck Pessi

make-up for the absolute robbery of last year's not being given out (and obviously to him)

Pessi at number 2 is fucking joke

Salah is only the best player (or close) THIS season, not for the whole time that this years award looks at

Benzema did win a trophy (UEFA Nations League and cannot be blamed for Frances failure at the Euros) and he absolutely is carrying RM on his back for the past year plus

Kante missed out when France fucked up the euros, same for Mbappe

Kante took votes from Jorginho

 

there were 4 legit candidates

Lewa

Jorginho (that pen miss at the euros and then Utaly not winning the nation's league hurt him)

Benz

Kante

 

 

I would have retro'd (crazy Covid calls for crazy actions) Lewa for last year's and given this years to Jorginho

so two awards

2020 retro Lewa

2021 order

Jorginho

Lewa

Kante

Benz

 

Salah atm is front runner for 2022, depends a lot on what Egypt does at AFCON and of course what Pool do in EPL and CL, plus he needs to score 40 to 45 to really lock it down

Benz has a shot too for 2022, same criteria as Salah, minus AFCON (obviously) same for Lewa, and others

One could argue that he was robbed of the award last year, after it got conveniently cancelled. Plus, he also broke Gerd Muller's 49-year record this year. He's a deserving winner really.

Tbh Bettinelli is our best signing this summer...

Jorginho's agent has said that granny has already told them she wants to renew Jorginho.

JORGINHO DESPERATE AFTER PENALTY MISS

https://football-italia.net/jorginho-desperate-after-penalty-miss/

Italy star Jorginho looked absolutely devastated after missing a crucial penalty kick against Switzerland.

The former Napoli Regista turned up for a late spot-kick at the Stadio Olimpico but sent it over the bar.

Had he scored it, one point in the last group stage game against Northern Ireland would have been enough for Italy to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.

The Chelsea playmaker missed the third penalty kick in a row for the Azzurri, the second one against Switzerland. The other one was against England in the penalty shootout of the UEFA Euro 2020 Final.

Jorginho looked absolutely distressed immediately after missing the spot-kick and a few minutes later, when the referee blew the final whistle.

Leonardo Bonucci tried to cheer him up, but the Juventus defender could do nothing to console his teammate.

[NikkiCFC 7,601]

Btw why is Ballon d Or considered as major award over official FIFA award?

Journalists voting and majority of them have no clue...

[NikkiCFC 7,601]

2 passes against LC and again today for CHO. He has amazing through balls when players actually make runs which was not the case before. I think TT worked on this.
