think neymar's done better since the last balloon door tho, thought a lot of Suarez goals last year came prior to it. Otherwise yeah I'd agree.

Oh yeah, forgot this award only takes into account the year of.

Should be the entire season, not just from January onward. Retarded not to consider the first four months of any given season.

Based on sheer talent at the moment

1. Messi
2. Suarez
3. Neymar
4. Griezmann
5. Bale
6. Ronaldo
7. Aguero
8. Sanchez
9. Modric
10. Mahrez

Ronaldo is still my favorite of all time though, was just stupidly good back in his younger days and had the ego to boot.
Does not deserve the balon d'or this year unfortunately. His stats and trophies this season don't reflect his waning footballing ability on the pitch.

Sometimes the person who doesn't deserve it wins it over people who do.

2002 and 2010 biggest examples of that.

Henry also should have won it at least once although I don't remember who won it in those years.

Break up the monotony of Messi and Ronaldo, and give it to Suarez, Bale, or Griezmann. I don't even know why the award covers world football—should be El Don de La Liga at this point.

2010 Ballon d'Or was the biggest robbery i have ever seen.

Sneijder won Serie A, Coppa Italia and CL, then carried Netherlands to WC final, still lost.

The ball he put through for robben was unreal, great save by Casillas but robben completely choked.
