Ballon d'Or (Golden Ball)

Ashish · Dec 3, 2009

i dont know but i always thought dinho from 2004-2006 wc was unparallel

about maldini he should be given life time awards sadly balondor is for one year performance, maldini does his job but its the team titles count esp with national teams

and moreover defenders wont win anything cause its the way its, lol sliding tackles from maldini and nesta re just better than porn :eek:

but they are the engine room guys like paolo says not the captain of the ship, in footbal you score you win, thats how it was thats how it will be, we are happy to have a line of greatest defenders in our hall of fame.

lol 2005 team was epic :eek:

carlo how can u fuck up that one

see our defense
cafu nesta stam and paolo jeez even a battalion cant penetrate them still we lost :mad:

thats where luck comes in, paolo was a legend and all of the great strikers admit it.

dinho in the 2005-6 season was 1 of most dominant forces i've ever seen. No denying that. That idiot coach really blew it in the world cup.

GreatKalu · Dec 3, 2009

In Spain (La Liga) yes. In Europe, not so much. I mean, a great assist against Milan (which, it should be mentioned, Guily did extremely well to convert) but an otherwise uneventful performance by him against us. He did well against Chelsea (think they were a man down or something) and was very quiet in the final against 10-man Arsenal. Henry's route to the final was a lot more impressive IMO. Top things off, he was also in the final in Germany a couple of months later.

i agree with you they didnt needed kaka in that team, one among adriano or ronaldo would have been great, with all due respect to other teams i havent seen such an attacking talents in one team, together :eek:

but it wasnt a team.

robinho ronaldo adriano kaka dinho :eek:

LOL I remember when Brazilian media at some point in the WC qualify start to put pressure on Parreira to bring this five players playing together. And they also call that "The Magic Quintet". God, how can this look like a team?

And, truth be said, Dinho and Kaká never worked together.

Henry didn't do anything? Please ... but I guess you did your best to quickly forget how 'attacking talents' galore got dumped out of the WC

Of course, its personal opinion. Its debatable, thats all I'm saying. Like, for example, Brazil's best player at the last world cup was probably Emerson

lol madther and unbiased discussion doesnt go hand in hand

time to scoot

He was the 2nd leading scorer in the competition that year behind Sheva. 2005/2006 he was the best. 2003/2004 he actually did not deserve that.

IMO, the award system need to change. They need to start acknowledging Goalkeepers, Defenders, and Midfielders. You can say Julio Cesar was just as good as Messi last year but differently, same as Vidic. What they should do is either give out awards based on position (Best LB, CB, AM, etc) or just by category. (e.g Ballon D' Or for GK, DF, MF, and FW)

Madridista · Dec 3, 2009

Didnt Ronaldinho OWN both Milan and Chelsea scoring stunners in the process? And Henry did nothing except scoring the goal against Brazil. Parreira's mistake was playing both Ronaldo and Adriano, not Dinho and Kaka.

Besfort · Dec 3, 2009

He was fucking unstoppable those days!

GreatKalu · Dec 3, 2009

This is what I remember:

1. Dinho didn't score against Milan. He assisted Guily, and that was it. That doesn't qualify as OWNAGE in my books. Kaka' owned Manchester United.

2. Henry scored a breathtaking goal against Madrid in the Bernabeu. He carried a very young and experimental team, and was their driving force all the way to the final where he had a much better game than Dinho.

3. Brazil were getting results in Germany when both Adriano and Ronaldo were on the pitch. It was only against France when Ronaldo was played as a lone CF (LOL @ his performance) with Kaka' and Dinho supporting. Needless to say, Brazil were toothless in attack.

@ Redman10: He scored a lot of goals in the group stages against Werder(?) come to think of it, he also did well in a match against Benfica ... But still, the same can be said of Henry's performances ... and he had a decent world cup unlike Dinho.

Anyway, its pointless discussing this because Canna won it, and will go down as the world's best player for that year. Spot on about splitting the awards up, but then I guess it will lose a bit of publicity with the accolades being split up. And I think that sums this award up ... a publicity stunt.

Madridista · Dec 3, 2009

Look how he's playing right and central in addition to left, a true roaming AM, he really needs to leave that mindset of hugging the left byline.

Dida

If I recall, Gila also hit the bar or missed a golden opportunity. Nevertheless, Dinho played well ... but that was perhaps his last excellent game that season + the WC.

1.

Stop talking rubbish for things you dont know.

2. Barca won the CL, thats what matters. Theyre not going to give the best player award to the runner up.

3. Again, stop talking rubbish for things you obviously have no clue about. Brazil won games with R9 and Adriano, but rather unconvincingly, against weaker sides than France and without any coherence in their game - what you get when you play two heavy strikers with poor mobility. Ronaldo as a lone striker scored two goals against Japan - his best performance and was the ONLY attacking threat for Brazil against France that actually did anything and had shots on goal. I suggest you actually watch the game before you talk out of your ass the next time.

GreatKalu · Dec 3, 2009

1. That was 04-05 dumbass. We are talking about 05-06 :rolleyes:

2. Nedved won the award in 02-03 when they lost in the final.

3. Can't argue with the heavy statement. Spot on, for a change

Damn, must have mixed up the years. Still, owned Milan.

There wasn't someone more suitable from the winner I guess then, or as dominant and influential as Dinho was for Barcelona that season.

madtherchot said:

Yeah, when your ignorance is exposed and you have nothing smart to say, resort to the fat talk. Classic. Forgot the trannies though, that would help your argument A LOT. :rolleyes:

Madridista · Dec 3, 2009

So this is Ronaldinho against Milan 2006

still owned.

Fact is in both awards (ballon dor and WPOY) whoeever wins it, its a worthy winner, those who vote have the expertise and number relevance.

Milan were already through at that point as group winners. What happened in the first leg? Boy you are clueless ...

Edit: That game ended 0-0 despite Nesta being out. He was playing against a 40 year old Costacurta and your personal favorite, Kaladze in central defense. Pity that clip doesn't have Sheva's wrongly disallowed goal featuring another diving CUNT, Puyol.

Madridista · Dec 3, 2009

that is irrelevant, Ronaldinho sucked only in the final and he was a beast in all the other games.

I second that notion. Goes to show this award lacks credibility. Bunch of clowns behind the scenes.

neutral · Oct 27, 2010

The nominations for this thing are just plain dumb/stupid

crazy4milan · Oct 28, 2010

Eventhough the award should be given on consistency, usually I accept that during WC year it's given to the star of the WC or someone from the WC winner team. However, this particular year, Sneijder won the treble, was named best midfielder of the CL, and was second place in the WC being the star of the dutch team that lost in overtime the final (and had it not been for his teamates rubbish finishing, he would've won the WC and give the assists), and was silver boot. The award could be given to Xavi, or Iniesta and it won't be an outrage, but I think Sneijder is the example of consistency not just during the season but also during the WC, guy was awarded and given medals every competition he was in this year. It's not like 2006 when possibly Ronaldinho was the most consistent but had a terrible WC or Zizou in 2002, where well not his fault but wasn't part of the main event of the football world.

The lack of Milito is SUPER ridiculous.

akewander · Dec 6, 2010

so looks like xavi,iniesta and messi will be named as the finalists matching milans almight late 1980's squad which the 3 finalists came from and won by the one and only Marco Van Basten

dev1L · Dec 6, 2010

so..if iniesta hadn't score that goal, would he still be in top 3 ?

akewander · Dec 6, 2010

can you think of anything else significant he did????

lol at printer,winning treble and not 1 of their players makes final 3, least remerable treble ever lol

80% - Andres Iniesta has not failed to complete fewer than 80% of his passes in a single La Liga game so far in 2010. Robotic.

Hes done well despite being injured for about 2 months in the year 2010. Not sure if he deserves it as based on individual performance Messi quite a bit ahead but i think winning the WC and scoring such an important goal might have sealed it.

SN: He is by far the best link up player in the world, better than any natural/old fashioned AM out there that i can think of, in addition he is pretty versatile. For the year 2010 i can only think of Ozil that would give him competition for the link up play but Mesut tends to disappear during some games so lacks that consistentcy.

Quatre Barres · Dec 6, 2010

He has been one of the best players in the world since the start of the World Cup. But since it's for the year, Sneijder not being in the top 3 is just wrong.

Congo Powers · Dec 6, 2010

absolute fucking joke

its sneijders trophy

can barca's cock be deepthroated any further by the illuminati?? srsly??

Christian · Dec 6, 2010

Glad Sneijder ain't getting it, he's a dick, and eggheads like him (And Inter players in general) shouldn't get a trophy like that. Inter players getting the trophy devalues it significantly, very smart of FIFA to realise this (Especially in a critical year like this where the balon d'Or has been merged with the FIFA award).

Moreso he doesn't deserve it. His world cup was fine, but overrated. This year he's been terrible. Hope Xavi gets it, but in all honesty Messi has probably still performed the best out of the three, but he's probably not gonna get it cause he's not Spanish. Don't think any of the three had a spectacular world cup though.
