People that should have won the Ballon Door

Miloto - 2010

Sneijder should have won it in 2010 lad

Milito was definitely more instrumental to Inters success

2010 = Sneijder
2014 = Suarez

Inter's team and more specifically Sneijder were so good that season, any half decent striker would have done what milito did.

>2010 - Sneijder
>I didn't watch football back then so I'll just pick the best known player from the most successful team
I hate this meme

Iniesta or Xavi when Barça and Spain dominated...

This, as they say.

>I don't know how the Ballon D'Or works
I love this meme lol

>Won the CL
>Carried the NT to the WC final
>not the best player

Except Sneijder was part of reaching the World Cup final as well

...

2010?
Sneijder or Xavi

2013 Messi
2014 Messi
2016 Messi

2004 - Henry

>Henry better than Shevchenko in 2004

Fuck off

2010 should be won by Iniesta, but he isn't mediatic. Fuck this shit.

look, an arsenal fan, haven't seen one since the 5 - 1

>actually rating Shevkeko above Titi

2016 - Rui Patricio

t. messifag ef zeh barcelona gloryhunter cuckboi

2007
Nakamura

Iniesta has never had a season where he would've deserved a Ballon d'or. specially not 2010 when he was injured a lot and couldn't string 2 good matches together.
>Xavi
>"""tempo dictating""" midfielders in general
>Best on the planet
>ever
pick one

2006 Buffon

if you dont consider Xavi in the top 10 midfielders ever you're a literal retard

2005 - Frank Lampard

>not Stevie G

How can people unironically still care about the Ballon D'or when Michael Owen has also unironically won one?

>LAMPARD OVER RONALDINHO

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

2010-Sneijder, Xavi or Iniesta
2013-Robben or Ribery
2016-Griezmann or Suarez

I don't understand the Greizmann 2016 meme
>Chocked in Euros
>Chocked in CL
>Chocked in Copa
>Didn't win league
>Wasn't top goal scorer or assister

>chocked

do you even speak English you hobbit fuck

I understand your arse is chock full of cocks but it's 'CHOKE' and there's only one 'c' in that word

the correct way to say it is

>choked in Euro
>choked in CL
>choked in Copa

Griezmann did have a good year tbf, just not great

if he'd had a bit more luck he'd at least have won the Euro

He was a very good player, even though he didn't win. I wouldn't say he choked. Choked is not the same as losing.

My argument would have been Nedved didn't win the CL in 2003 but he still won the Ballon d'Or. However, he didn't win the league. Maybe he didn't deserve it.

...

If you're gonna win the Balon dor you have to at least win one title. Like I said he wasn't even the best individual performer that year, which goes to Suarez

2006 - Zidane

Messi should have won it 10 times. Quite clearly the best player on the planet every year.

ill take being a retard over rating some clown who passes it sideways for 90 minutes. hes not even top 10 midfielder of the last 15 years never mind all time.

The best argentinan player that i have ever seen on a pitch.

Nah

he's the epitome of "really good, but not great"

2020 - me

This

Iniesta not winning in 2010 was a scandal

Choked trying to spell choked
How ironic
Tip

>le samba "eggsbress urself ;))" meme unironically rated
>see flag

Like pottery.

Henry deserved at least one of the Ballon d'Or or FIFA award 2003. Zidane didn't really do anything noteworthy to win the WPOTY and Nedved, while good, wasn't as good as Henry.

I think he would have deserved it in 2006 too if he hadn't shit the bed in the CL final. He was amazing that year, and it really was his final year as a truly elite player. In 2007 he got a bunch of injuries and was never the same after.

>BALLON D'OR WINNERS IF IT WAS BASED ON ABILITY AND PERFORMANCES RATHER THAN TEAM ACHIEVEMENTS (LAST 20 YEARS):

1996 - Ronaldo
1997 - Ronaldo
1998 - Ronaldo
1999 - Rivaldo
2000 - Zidane
2001 - Zidane
2002 - Zidane/Ronaldo
2003 - Henry
2004 - Henry
2005 - Ronaldinho
2006 - Ronaldinho/Henry
2007 - Kaka/C.Ronaldo
2008 - C.Ronaldo
2009 - Messi
2010 - Messi
2011 - Messi
2012 - Messi
2013 - Messi
2014 - Messi
2015 - Messi
2016 - Messi

>YEAR PEOPLE GOT INTO FOOTBALL

2016 - (You)

Tell me what is wrong with the list

no Shearer lad

How fucking dumb can one person be?

Ronaldo 1996
Beckham 1999
Zidane 2000
Roberto Carlos 2002
Henry 2006
Sneijder 2010
Xavi 2011
Iniesta 2012
Ribéry 2013
Neuer 2014
Griezmann 2016

This is actually a pretty good list although I do think Ronaldo was deserving of at least one of the golden balloons after 2008

best in thread

no cringe

>lose the biggest game of your career
>fanboys think you deserve ballondor

top kek

But it's based on ability and performances, and not once this decade has Ronaldo come close to Messi in that regard, no matter what the media wants you to believe.

If Ronaldo deserves it for his stats then why not RVN in 2003? 44 goals for the season (this was beyond what was normal back then), 12 in the CL (which was a record until Messi broke it) and he wasn't even in contention for the award because he simply wasn't on the level of Henry, Zidane etc. ability and influence wise.

>The World Cup is more important than the Champions' League
no

Unironically the best post ITT

To actual footballers, it is. Doesn't matter what big team band-wagoners like you think.

>reached the C1 finals
>reached the Euro finals
>finished 3 pts away from la liga title (88 points)
>best goalscorer of the Euro
>best player of the Euro
>40 goals for the season

Suarez - 2016
Messi - 2014
Messi - 2013

>english players
>good
looool @ your level of delusion
I bet you'll tell me that your shitty league is the best in Europe too

2009 Federico Macheda

Pirlo in 2006

Best player in the WC and it wasn't close. Only retards rank Zidane above him.

2016 - Schmeichel

2013 - Ribéry

Buffon instead of Cannavaro in 2006

this
He would be the last goalkeeper to win the ballon d'or
instead we have meme Yashin

2004 - Henry
2010 - Sneijder
2014 - Suarez
2016 - Kante

>t.retard

Sneijder transformed Inter from Stankovic playing AM into a modern, winning side.

John Fucking Terry

>Le 4mph 270 turn man

How about nope

My Turkish barber said I look like sneijder on Saturday after he'd number one'd cranium

Totti in 2000 or 2001

he is doing the same face I do when I do cocaine

drogba in 2010

>Totti

Literally the Italian niall quinn

/thread

how? Xavi, Sneidjer and Milito all had superior seasons (Sneidjer should have one it desu).

We invented it spaghetti

Then why do you suck at it? At least americans have an excuse

>caring about international football

Enjoy your shitty league filled with galatasaray and dynamo rejects m9

Please, Holland had an easy run beating on those loser south american squads.

Hol up, you be sayin the original le occasional blooter goal man should've been Balon d'or winner because his occasional blooter ratio went up that year?

no one's talking about nt results, just saying the british are no good at footy

>best goalscorer of the Euro

Please, that greasy nigga stated against those garbage euro teams who have janitors and dentist playing on them.

Embarrassed for you Pierre

>tfw Michael Owen has a Ballon d'Or but Henry doesn't

Travesty

Everyone not in the Dutch team at the time wanted them to lose. They played absolutely horrid football. Maybe if he scored one of the 100 freek kicks he took from midfield he could have won something

Michael Laudrup.

How in god's name did Owen win in 2001 though?

Liverpool won trophies but that was the League Cup, Fa and Uefa Cup.

He also didn't score as many as the best European strikers.

There must have been at least 15-20 players who won more important trophies + performed better individually.

i agree. ballon dor should be won on the merit of youtube highlights and amount of dribbling.

also kys dumb faggot

Fuck off back to /arse/ you fucking cancer

Why didn't Messi or di María win it in 2014 then?

TORRES

Messi deserved to win it in 2014 argiebro
