Why Sneijder or Iniesta weren't given the Ballon d'Or in 2010?

Why Sneijder or Iniesta weren't given the Ballon d'Or in 2010?
And why Neuer didn't win it in 2014?
All of them deserved it more than the actual "winners"

FIFA had to push the Messi/Ronaldo circlejerk in order to keep children, normies and shitskins interested in their award.

FIFA marketing. It's why amerisharts think Messi is the best.

Because Baloon Door is not given to the actual best players. Iniesta should have gotten one.

Because variety is boring.

2014 was LCIM's year

Sneijder would have won if Robben wasn't a choker.

>iniesta ballon dor meme
stop it already

>Why didn't X win just because they had 2 good games at the world cup?

This is an 18+ board, son.

Messi is the greatest ever period. It's not a marketing scam but the truth

They didn't get enough votes.

Xavi always was better than Iniesta

>le Sneijder is good meme

>Why Sneijder or Iniesta weren't given the Ballon d'Or in 2010?
Iniesta was at no point the best on his team, nvm the world. also that season he barely played because of injuries and mental problems. only retards who only watched the wc final wanted him to win. sneijder was def overlooked because muh messi circlejerk was in full swing.
>And why Neuer didn't win it in 2014?
because the only reason he was even in the conversation were his retarded, mostly useless runs out of his box. its like rating a defender because he scores goals. also he was destroyed in the cl and courtois and casillas were better. in the world cup romero put up the same stats with shitters in front of him.

>its like rating a defender because he scores goals
You mean the sole reason Sup Forums started sucking Ramos' dick and calling him world class?

yup

Those sweeping runs are much more important than a defender scoring goals though.

lol, scoring is literally the most important thing in the game. some shitty clearances will never be more important

2010-Sneijder
2013-Ribery
2014-Neuer

So now scoring from a defender is important? Sort your fucking life out, mate.

2016 was >bayol though

never said it wasnt you illiterate fuck.

lol

Remember that this list is undeniable so any comments are useless and will not be considered

Because it's a marketing scam. When they re-opened the voting just for Ronaldo after his hattrick against Sweden, that's when I stopped taking any notice of this shitty award.

What the fuck did Neuer did to deserve the 2014 award?

Lahm and Kroos would have been more worthy winners.

Messi won 2 times more than he deserves because of corrupt Blatter and Platini.

It's an individual award. It's supposed to be given to the best player of the season, not the best/most marketable player on the most victorious team. You may not like it, but TSU and the autist were always better than the others even when they didn't win shit. Future generations are only getting worse because for some reason I will never understand clubs all over the world decided to adopt the english approach on developing youth players: you either are a big strong pacy black man or you can fuck off.

It's a fucking joke that Messi and Ronaldo are still the best player in the world despite their age. They're not even half the players they once were and yet nobody's reached them. Football should've ended in 2006 desu

>Neuer
>goalkeeper
>best at anything

If you ever played football you'd know people only end up in goal because they're too shit to play outfield and goalkeeping is their last desperate resort to stay in the team. He might be good compared to other goalies but when the player pool consists of what would otherwise be bench warmers giving the ballon to a keeper would be retarded

>Football should have ended in 2006
Fuck off, Milan beat Liverpool in the 2007 CL final. Wouldn't wanna miss that la.

because voters were players from all over the world, not journalists.

You should refrain from talking about football, because you obviously don't understand it
GK is the most demanding position in the sport, that can only be played by the most athletic guys possible
A GK is basically an outfield player + handball player + volleyball player combined
Because you think Messi or Neymar could play GK? While Neuer could play centreback easily
Finally a good GK negates goals scored, he's even more important than a striker (other players can replace the striker, not the GK)

World class memery.

This is world class shitposting from both of you. Well done.

That performance was clutch as fuck. Stay mad Ibrahimoshit

I agree, a guy that stand still 95% of the match shouldn't be consider the best just be cause he does a great save occasionally.

Yeah, and he took the prize from a guy that win everything that year, while himself didn't win anything. Absolute bullshit

>it's a marketing scam that one player was clearly the best and most consisntent individual performer throughout the calendar year

t. nerd always picked last in gym class

>

t. American in Gothenburg

if sneijder was so good he wouldn't have been rotting away in turkey soon after

That price was given clearly cause they couldn't give more advantage to messi. They were 4-1 already, they didn't knew CR7 would be better the next seasons. It should be 6-4 for messi now.

Sorry, not messi, someone else like neuer or LCIM. It would have been 5-4 for messi (or 4-4 if you consider Iniesta or some spanish guy should have won it in 2010).

I was talking about Ribery that won a Treble that year.

yeah those corrupt bastards even extended the voting window in 2013 to ensure that messi won i... oh

Would have still been elite if he joined Besiktas

that didn't stop Michael Owen from winning a Ballon d'Or.

>caring about individual awards in a team sport
what are you? a muslim or an american on holidays?

2008- Ronaldo
2009- Messi
2010- Messi
2011- Messi
2012- Messi
2013- Ribery
2014- Neuer
2015- Messi
2016- Messi

can you guys just deal with it?

2017 - Messi too

CR7 IS A PLASTIC WINNER

who cares about it anyways

Iniesta will retire as a top 10 players in history and no one will remember Cristiano in a decade

In 2010 Sneijder with Inter Milan beat Barcelona in the champions, a fixture they were not supposed to win but beat Barcelona and uefa. So FIFA needed to do damage control to keep their Chinese and Arab money happy they gave Messi the golden ball award.
Sneijder should have been nominated but in my opinion Milito should've received the award
