Obviously individual awards in team sports are pretty much bullshit. But what the fuck did that creepy midget do to warrant it? Been plenty more consistently better players over the last year.

I’d have gone for Lewandowski.

Mohamed Salah should have won that, he's been outstanding.

Been much better than Messi. As has Kante and Ruben Dias.

But then they don’t play in the right country to be fair…

Three criteria apparently, not just medals...

The following qualifications are considered by the jury:

Individual and collective performances (winners) during the year.
Player class (talent and fair play).
Overall judgment of the player's career.

Todd Cantwell wasn't even considered.

It's just a Beauty-Contest, isn't it?

I liked it in the olden days, when the winner was the one that scored the most goals ... but if you did that now you'd just get wrestling over who would take the penalty.

Giving out an annual award with that as one of the major criterion is properly belmish :lol:
