CRonaldo deserves it. It's not his fault others in his team weren't as good. He's on another level to Ribery

in this logic? is Messi worse than CR? being injured few weeks doesn´t make him worse imo.

Individual awards like this should be given to best players of most succesfull teams. Ribery was just that.

yep, alaba was pretty much a lock for his position and no player from the other cl finalist either. I'd take hummels over ramos any day.

I don't want to talk about it anymore because my XI would be a lot, I mean, a lot different than that. fifa have turned these awards to a total waste.

My idea of the team was very different as well, so I see why you would be annoyed by it!


@Godotelli, it just seems unfair on Ribery that he missed out after such a massive contribution to Bayern winning a treble.

Ronaldo might've deserved it but imo these awards are more of a popularity contest than a talent showcase.

CR has had a better year as a player than Messi.

Individual awards are for individuals. CR has been the best player in the world in 2013. Ribery? no chance

I doubt very much you'll be arguing against Suarez winning POTY even tho he probably won't have a PL medal

Real fans logic
2010
Snijeder deserve golden ball he won all three trophys,
2012
CR deserve he won two trophys (la liga, copa de rey), Messi just score lot of goals (over 100 records, top scorer in history)
2013 Ribery sucks in Bayern he just asist for 5 trophys, CR deserve he is top scorer...
 
Personally I like Messi's tuxedo. Don't understand why men have to wear always black. But I dislike conventions and protocols that tell you what to do, so I could be in the minority here.

Personally, I think what Messi did there was very subtle. He was dressing in red to express that Ribery deserved to win ;)

PS: That doesn't change the fact that the tuxedo he wore years ago with the white dots looked indeed horrible, even for me.

Funny, you didn't mention 2011. That's when Cris had broke multiple records, but somehow Messi won it, because he won more trophies. Yet, the year after, Messi won it for the exact same reason Ronaldo didn't deserve it.

The award is incredibly biased and not always the best wins it, if Iniesta couldn't do it, no one will. Messi/Ronaldo will win it every year.

Personally, and being a Barcelona fan as I am, I would never give the trophy to Iniesta. He's totally overrated. This doesn't mean he's not an incredibly gifted player. He is, but but he hardly decides matches and his productivity and teamwork is really really low. Xavi, Messi and Snejder deserved it more.

I watch all Barcelona matches for the full season, and all the national matches. And I tell you, Messi that year was absolutely magnificent in both goals and assists and playmaking and was critical in all important matches except in the World Cup where argentina was average.

But imagine you swap Iniesta and Messi in that world cup. Do you think Iniesta would have done more for Argentina and Messi less for Spain? Doubt it. That's why I don't think the World Cup should be that important. And for the record, other than the goal in the final the world cup of Iniesta was mediocre and he played below his capabilities.

Choosing the best player will always be a very subjective thing. I would give it to Messi each year because I watch him live and even injured he can dribble 3 and score and decide matches against big teams like Milan or PSG, I had never seen someone so absolutely gravitational and with such a critical impact in the game.

But in terms of performance, I think it was very obvious that Ribery (or someone from Bayern) should have won it this season by a large margin, and the best 11 should be full of Bayern and Borussia players. Other than Messi not a single Barcelona player deserved to be there.

It's just marketing and it sucks.
