FC Bayern Forum

Everything was great until Fifa got this award in 2009.

2007 - Kaká

2008 - Cristiano

2009 - Messi

2010 - Messi(Sneijder)

2011 - Messi(maybe Cristiano if we take in consider STATS with which some people manipulate in favour of some of these two)

2012 - Messi(Xavi)

2013 - Cristiano(Ribery)

2014 - Cristiano

So, after 2009 only in 2011 and 2014 these two guys deserved the award in my opinion. 2012 is doubtful, but we recall one Barca trophy(Real won Primera, Debakl Dahoam) and that's Spanish Cup. Xavi and Iniesta won Euro, nothing given, but that didn't mean they can make disgraceful FIfa team of the year 2012.

France Football was just good enough alone till 2008. Then in 2009 everything's changed and we have a whole Oscar.


I really liked what Scholes said. So true and so cruel to show what today's football is all about.

Kaka as ballon dlol winner was a joke aswell tbh..

The domination of Spain, country and club level laid in midfielders, Xavi/Iniesta... but that domination was nowhere to be seen on Ballon d'Or.
Don't forget that there's not only the CL...
Kaka was a joke after he left Milan but was a great player and personality... same goes for Torres, who's being trolled on some unknown levels.

What he did in 2007 against United in two CL matches was outstanding. Kaká wasn't normal, he played for two guys. After that season, injuries came and Real Madrid move looked good only under Pellegrini. After 2009/2010 when Pellegrini was sacked, he never came back to his great days and he couldn't take the place neither to Özil nor Di Maria.

Torres' biggest mistake was Chelsea move. I know he was injured at that time, but after that he couldn't do shít. When you see him today that the Spaniard is ONLY 30 years old, the tragedy is great. Instead of dominating in his best football years(2010-2016), he's been trying to find himself for last 2 years and he simply can't.
Now is up to Simeone to do a miracle what both Ancelotti and Mourinho failed at Chelsea, even Inzaghi(no matter how much silly sounds) at Milan.

Sneijder 2010, Iniesta 2012. That would have been fair.

2008-2012 will be remembered as the age of Spanish domination, Ballon d'Or's don't say so... We wouldn't be talking about it if it wasn't for Xavi and Iniesta, they deserved more recognition.
When Barca didn't do good Spain did...

What I like other about Kaka is that he was loyal, he wouldn't have ever left Milan, but others wanted to cash him in... he's a good example.

But the Kaka thing shouldnt be a ballon d'lol criteria at all, that he was loyal, because in the end he wasnt, he went for the money to Haha..

Don't be so sure, it wasn't up to him... Milan received a big sum of money.
Milan is blaming Allegri for selling Pirlo, but it wasn't him, it was the club that wanted to get rid of him and his wages. Milan changed their policy... that's what happened.
They won't tell the truth...
He could've stayed in RM and not return in Milan if it was for money, for a year there he'd have earned more than for what he signed for Milan in 3 years... Milan got him back for free with a minimal wage.

Yeah because Kaka was sitting on the bench for ages and didnt perform at all when on the field. He could have said, pay me less and ill stay. THAT would be a completely different story..

I wasn't clear maybe... He could've stayed at Madrid to earn more, he had a contract but decided to return to Milan.
I didn't say he deserves a Bd'Or for that, he's just a good example. I know that most despise CR7 because of his character, Kaka is his exact opposite. Professional, humble, loyal and betrayed.

He is in no way loyal to me.. He could have said, ill stay if you pay me less. Hence take a wage cut. But he didnt. He went to Haha for the money, that he didnt want to is BS, because he knew AC was on a downfall. If he was loyal he would have fought with bite and scratch to stay there. But even that he didnt in the media.

Have in mind that not only players betray clubs... sometimes it's the other way around.
He couldn't give Milan 70M that RM was going to pay for him.

Call me biased, but in 2010 I prefer Robben to Sneijder.
