edit: I just came from another football webboard where 90% of the users are saying Rodri is the MVP of this World Cup. But in the end, he’ll lose out to Kane, who’s been more consistent
World cup doesn't hold the leverage it used to before 2022 for ballon d'or now so rodri is not possible at all.
rodri is not winning it lmfao yamal scores in the final and hes winning it
before we went to the WC he was the best player itw, just injured because flick cant beat laliga sides without baby goat playing
no way Messi gets ballon d'or even if they win that shit would not make sense at all
Messi winning Ballon d'or would be the most bs thing ever. He could score 5 goals in the finals and he would still not deserve it
Remember 2023? When Haaland won the treble, scored like some 35 something goals in league still messi won the ballon d'or because he won world cup 😹
In the last World Cup, inter miami’s messi, who only scored penalties, still beat haaland despite him winning the treble and breaking epl records
Yamal PR is insane it doesnt matter how mid he’s been he’ll win it anyways if Spain wins
^this, he gets MOTM for just dribbles over players that actually scored/assisted LOL
he def shouldn't tho the recency bias of the wc SURELY moves the vote towards rodri
its going to be kane or yamal, even though rodri has played exceptionally recently. ballon d'or is a cumulative trophy
If Argentina wins, it'll go to Messi but Messi has enough so he'll give it over to Lamine Yamal his protégé.
If Spain wins, it'll still go to Lamine Yamal since he's the future and the Ballon d'Or journey starts for him.
If England wins, I prefer Bellingham but probably Harry Kane.
No matter who wins from here on it should be Kane. Players can PR their way to top 3 in ranking but it should be Kane if it’s fair.
no matter the outcome it should be Kane, he has done more than enough to cement his #1 spot but that award heavily favors world cup winners despite not doing jack shit in their club
