Ballon D'or 2021: Who wins it?

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

But Neuer's is, right? You da man.

Actually at the time of the game I had no ill will. I thought it was arguable the penalty. Evilo was certain it was.

It was not until i did a rewatch I saw how insane Howedes tackle was. If you didn’t realize the game was over a decade ago. The players that played on the losing side went on to win and are still riding high. Germany is still carrying Nueres corpse around. It’s a running joke now with me and @cgf you just don’t understand banter.

Why this fake outrage about Vinicius Jr.
He was good but not ahead of anyone. Just like Jude (at the euro), he had the possibility to claim the Ballon d'Or his own with a good Copa and he had one of the worst performance for a player his caliber from memory.

If anything I am surprised so many people considered him the "favourite", to me at least Jude deserved it more if we go for Real Madrid player only and based on the ranking Lautaro is the one that got robbed, he should have finished top 3 because of his consistencies and achievements.

Oh I got you.

No worries buddy, I got you. Here's FIFA's video about the decisive moment of the match:

Don't stress, Argies have had this weird little-brother thing with germany for the past 80ish years for some reason...see how excited they got in Qatar, when they realized that we weren't there to stop them again

...I'm just joking about it because, during the match, a lot of Barca fans on here complained about the refs favoring germany. So it's very funny to me that UEFA issued an official apology to us for the Cucurella no-call.

Hmm, 80 years of a special German-Argentinian relationship...

Yeah it's weird. But we can probably just blame the americans

This is the thanks we get for cleaning up you Europeans' mess?

...there's a joke about "cleaning up the mess" being an awkward euphemism for the colonial rivalry between the American & Russian empires in the second half of the 20th century, but I can't figure out how to word it :-/

I think someone said Messi stole a BDO from Ribery.
That was Ronaldo. The BDO changed the rules because Ronaldo had scored 3 goals on Sweden and delayed the voting. It's also worth nothing Ronaldo's Portugal was so bad they failed to qualify directly in their group and as such had to play those 2 playoff games.

Ribery should have won it, no question.

Well, fair enough I suppose but the first half (and a few centuries leading up to it) was on you guys.

Some of you seem to have forgotten that it was in the bag
