2012 fifa ballon d' or

Mion-Moura · 29-10-2012, 16:20

Not sure if there's a similar thread but hey,here are the nominees for this year's FIFA Ballon D' Or

Lionel Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo
Andres Iniesta
Wayne Rooney
Sergio Aguero
Yaya Toure
Mario Balotelli
Van Persie
Benzema
Buffon
Casillas
Drogba
Falcao
Ibrahimovic
Neuer
Mesut Ozil
Gerard Pique
Sergio Ramos
Xabi Alonso
Xavi Hernandez
Neymar
Andrea Pirlo
Sergio Busquests

Spanish clubs dominate while there's only one chelsea(ucl winners) player(former infact).Will Messi bag his fourth or Ronaldo or...

I'm guessing they'll give it to Iniesta... Messi probably deserves it though, but he hasn't won anything so I'm guessing FIFA will ignore that he's just broken all kinds of goalscoring records this year.

If they give it to Casillas then it would be a disgrace. He may have won two trophies, but he hasn't been anything special on an individual level.

Polotelli · 29-10-2012, 16:35

this is just a big joke

I see names like Pique & Busquests

but no Thiago Silva or Kompany

even my favorite player from this list Balotelli, doesn't belong in here

Yoshi · 29-10-2012, 16:35

Surprised T Silva, Gomez and David Silva all got cut

Mion-Moura · 29-10-2012, 16:44

Top three better include Messi,Ronaldo and Casillas.Ronaldo and Casillas have created some kinda tension or something in their team and imagine if one doesnt appear there in top three..Anyway i think Messi deserves this as he won some titles(copa del ray,club world cup) though not as big plus those records he's broken and still is breaking.

Mion-Moura · 29-10-2012, 16:47

imo its like

Messi -Much on individual briliance

Ronaldo-Balanced on between individual and team briliance

Casillas-Much on team brilliance

Mr. Milanista · 29-10-2012, 17:14

Buffon, Balotelli, Pique lulz

thiago silva had an all around mediocre year.

No one wants to admit it, but it's true.

And he's never hit his 2010/11 milan form w/ brazil

Not disagreeing, but if Pique makes it to the list (I know he played the Euro Cup and was good, but...hasn't he been injured like 2/3's of the year?), I don't see why T. Silva can't.

I think this year they're going to give it to Iniesta.

I still think he was better than Pique...

I think this year they're going to give it to Iniesta.

He was injured, came back out of form and got benched, and at some point Guardiola simply picked Masch/Busquets over him.

Still made the list...

sure.

pique has no business being there

MonsterKane · 29-10-2012, 19:47

This Ballon D'Or nominees shit list isn't something we should care anymore. It's just ridiculous.

manutd fan · 29-10-2012, 20:50

How the hell are Pique and Balotelli in that list?

It's been a strange one for defenders. I haven't watched as many Milan games recently as I used to so I'll go with Milano's opinion on Silva, then you have Kompany who was a beast last year, but has been poor this season and obviously Vidic has been injured and poor since his return until he got re-injured.

I think the current generation of players has amazing depth in the attacking areas but it's pretty poor defensively. There's no one that stands out for me with the 3 I mentioned above being the best of the lot, when on form.

Madridista · 30-10-2012, 03:09

1. Balotelli
2. Neymar
3. Benzema

de nuttela · 30-10-2012, 03:15

Dominate · 30-10-2012, 03:41

D Silva might have been the best player of the first half of EPL last season, but he had a huge drop in form after December and is yet to find that 2011 form with City.

He did good in the Euros, but wasnt particularly impressive.

He belongs there way more than Pique though and also Balotelli.

Mion-Moura · 11-11-2012, 19:30

oh my! oh my!this guy's just broken another record

de nuttela · 29-11-2012, 14:07

Messi, Iniesta and Ronaldo are the final 3 candidates...

Goal.com. (It's actually Iniesta)
