How does one sleep at night knowing they lost a ballon dor by EIGHT points (not dribbled past ONCE)
>>150551329When you realise it’s just the footballing equivalent of winning Prom King it suddenly stops mattering.
>>150551329>caring about this meme awardPretty sure van Dijk sleeps reasonably well. No adjusted man gives any shit about this thing. It's pretty much the least important thing in all of elite football
he's a bit of a meme playerI hate how he's always to defend nonchalantlyhe's great but a bit of try hard
>>150551329nobody cares about defenders except other defenders
>>150551329Sleeps well enough above the LFC millions he gets.
>>150551329the ballon d'or has been mostly a popularity contest for years, that's why Messi and Ronaldo won it so many timesit doesn't matter that much

>>150552873>IniestaHe scored in the final but was injured most of the season.>2013>RonaldoEither give it to Muller or stop making it obvious you're a ronaldo fan
>>150551329He's 6'5"
>>150551329How do you even get dribbled past? It's a non-contact sport, it should be PHYSICALLY impossible to get dribbled past
>>150551329I've never seen a dutchie who rates this player, that's how you know he's shit
>>150558302Dutch people dont know shit about football look at their pathetic little trophy cabinet
>>150551493lewandoofski seethes about it to this day
>>150552873Ronaldo not getting it in 2018 was a travesty.
Ballon D’or award is the football equivalent of getting your album posted in one of those /mu/ recommends infographics.
>>150560774>ghosted in the CL final>eliminated at the WC in the first KO roundHe didn't deserve shit
>>150558521I've met Italians that rate Bastoni, that should tell you all you need to know
>>150558302Our media loves him and i like him too, just a bit inconsistent since his major injury

>>150552873>2010 iniestaShould have been Sneijder>2013 ronaldoshould have been someone from Bayern
>>150561778Why would the WC hold so much weight it's 7 games at most while you play dozens of games for your club during the season
>>150562938Doesn't matter why, the fact is it does. The WC is and will always be the biggest competition in the sport and always weighs heavily in the voting
>Thierry Henry has never won it
>>150552764If it was actually given to the best player Messi and Ronaldo would have shared it for 15 years straight with Messi winning 13 of those.
>>150558521Are you masterbaiting?
>>150563905Did Jari Litmanen ever win it? What a good player he was.
We can all agree that Modric didn't deserve it in 2018, right?
>>150555432That's the opposite of messi
>>150565327Yes. The wc final run was amazing but it doesnt justify shit
reminder that kevin keegan has twice as many balloon doors as van dijk, kaka, berbatov and del piero combined

The fact that michael owen has one of these lets you know just how worthless it is.
