Who should win this year’s Ballon d’Or?

All these jokers arguing. If you’ve read that RVP is in the running (back when he was red hot at Arsenal) and the date, this is old news. However, the next award will probably go to Messi since no one is really firing at the moment but Messi has the edge with Barca playing really well.

The only player who breaks all futball records.#MESSI LIONEL

CR7 is the best player ever. He deserves to win the ballon dor

Let us be candid there is no current player of the world to be compared MESSI so he deserve it.

ronaldo always remain the best player over messi.

lionel messi deserve the ballon dor

according to ma personal point of view C7 deserves that award but i can`t argue to different opinion

Their is no need for u all to argue becus CR7 is the best and he deserve the ballon dor

Let’s stop confusing ourselves . Saying messi can he be compare to Ronaldo , crn is the best and he deserves it

I think is messi becourse he won champions league ,champion spain and coup of spain and 2place in euro one year if you like c7 dont compare with messi

messi messi messi is always the man,ask seek from the legents and they’ll share the same views ishare here .

Ronaldo is and will always be the best player in our era. Messi is to leave Bacer and win the champions league with another club. CR7 has done with The two best clubs in the world even GOD support MAN U n REAL MADRID and endorses Ronaldo to win the BALLON DOR

I dnt no why people confuse their self.We talk about one achievement and people are talking about their entied life performers.Ronaldo can be scoring and he team can loss trophy,in football creativity matters,be creative,dribling and scoring goals.Three in one that is who messi are,while ronaldo is one in one.So i urge you people to keep sentiment aside look into what i say and you will see eliment of truth. Thank you all and GOD bless.

Pls lets stop arguing, we all knw that C Boy is the best & he deserved it again. If C Boy does not win, that means FIFA are now Nigeria PDP.

Leo Messi is the Best player in this world,He is performance than Cristiano,so Messi Deserve Ballon d’Or

Wonder shall never end,Messi remains the best,the best answer to the definition of football is MESSI.ronaldo goes with Nymar

Lionel messi deserve the 2015 ballon’d or,not because of distingushing,but he gives his best of all moment. Messi is born talented,but ronaldo is working to be great. Leo messi commitment has shown the world he really deserve it(2014/2015) great era.

Cf7 is the best and he deserve the award

messi is the best last won,the laliga,copa d’rel,and champions league, what did ronaldo did last season. messi even helps his team (agentina to reach final in the copa america yet ronald is crambling to qualify for the euros with his portugal.messi the best and will remain

I don’t know why people argue and argue as if they don’t know that Messi is the best of all and He deserves the Ballon

Christiano Ronaldo is the best player in the whole word and he deserve to win the ball on d’ or.

Messi deserves the ball on d’ ore because of his performance,age,searched and broke all time records in football ,history

Ronaldo is the best player that I have ever seen because he was the first player who figure out the ballon’or in two different league and he. Was also the first player that scre all team in a league in a season both his team also wich is madrid so he deserve the award

Messi is the best player I have ever seen.cr7 only scores but Messi dribbles,give assist,create chances and scores as well.cr7 cannot compere himself to the football Messiah Lionel Messi.Thank you

CR.7, deserves the title of ballon d’or

The words best is for ronado nt for messi

Messi really deserves the title ballon di or 2015

ALTHOUGH MESSI IS BETTER, RONALDO SHOULD WIN THIS WITHOUT A DOUBT. HE HAD MORE GOALS AND PLAYED LESS GAMES THAN HE DID.

shut ur mouth jose mourinho

in how messi deserve this year world best he is ready to figth this and have a title this season again

Messi deserves this year world best. He has the power and skills to possess another title this season.

no matter what people use to say even if we are cr7 fans but but the truth will remain messi deserve it this year

NOW;THIS YEAR BALLON D`OR HAD ALREADY BEEN PRESENTED TO THE ALL TIME OWNER.IN CASE YOU DIDN`T KNOW IS THE KING OF ALL TIME[MESSI ANDRES LIONEL]EVEN THOUGH I SAY A GREAT THANK TO CR7 FOR KEEPING IT FOR FATHER MESSI THIS IS THE TIME TO GIVE IT BACK MY FRIEND CONGRATULATION.

MESSI IS THE BEST THERE EVER WAS,AND I THINK HE RELY DESEARVES CAUSE IT IS NOT JUST A MATTER OF GOALS BUT WHAT HE DOES BECAUSE I DONT KNOW ABOPUT BUT FOR ME MESSI IS THE MOST UNSELFISH PLAYER

Messi deserves the ballon dor by all means possible

I think Ronaldo deserves the price cus looking at the both teams the quality of players differ with barca obviously the best but Ronaldo has all the work on him in Real so i think he deserves it

Rinaldo deserves it

really cr7 top messi this year with five goal so he deserves the ballon d!or 2015

Arjen Robben deserves it because of his value to Bayern without him they are not not nearly as big of a threat.

It goes to messi as he is the king and the leader of football

Mess is the king of football he deserve it

Messi will take it why not

Messi diserve the ballon de or, becouse messi dont play only for goals he share with friends when messi saw that goals is too hard for him, he start doing assist and also hurt ball if u watch champions league final u will see how he walk the second goal which was give by suarez

Messi diserve the ballon de or, becouse messi dont play only for goals he share with friends when messi saw that goals is too hard for him, he start doing assist and also hurt ball if u watch champions league u will how he walk the second goal which was give by suarez

Messi diserve the ballon de or becouse messi dont play only for goals he share with friends when messi saw that goals is to him he start doing assist and also hurt ball if u watch champions league u will how he walk the second goal which was give by suarez

as annoying as it is seeing that people are still commenting here, I have to stop by and express my amusement at the above comments. Nice one, clement, you really made me laugh there!

Asamoah Gyan will win it.

Messi is surely to be the second and Asamoah Gyan will be the first.

CR7 is the one of the most greatest player in the world, but this ballon d’or is waiting only for MESSI and messi will be win the prize. just wait and see…….

MESSI IS THE BEST NOW AND FOR EVER

If what their respective clubs have achieved and what a soccer as an art is expected to deliver to the world, no doubt Messi is by far better than Cristiano. still if the value of goals scored is taken into account, Messi surpasses Ronaldo at a very far range. if valuing team members and helping colleagues counts , no words can explain that Messi is better. if football is merely scoring finished goals with no respect to friends, this time I admit Ronald is better.

Hi,what has CR7 done this season that he deserve to have the d’or 2015?nothing.I say Messi deserve the d’or 2015 with no doubt.For he is the best and will be the best as of now.

messi win it

messi win ballon d’or 2015

Itz all about Messi,as far as 2014-2015 season is concerned,Ronaldo has undoubtedly scored more la liga goals than messi,but Messi has won virtually everything Ronaldo has played in this year,itz not all about fanatism,but being Analytical,Messi,as far as am concerned is the key behind the success @ camp nou dis year,especially taking a very critical look @ de game against Bayern Munchen,d@ goal was a cracker,till today Boateng has not yet realised de formula messi used to throw him to the ground,the Almighty Bayern were kicked out single-handedly by One man-Messi,his magical moves against Athletic Bilbao earned Barcelona their third major Trophies,Manymore things I’d like to say,but,itz needless because the truth has already being let-out-of-the-bag,Cr7 tried and won it @ last minutes last year,even he himself knows that as far as this year is concerned itz Leo-best all the way,infact what has he won,apart from the pichichi award,hmm i think we all now know,the truth
Leo-Best all the way!!!
Blues for Life

I think……………messi worth it ,he has been performing better in all competition. now let’s luk into his recent matches is not struggling on hw to score alone BT made some superb assists…….he worth it I think…….. but c.Ronald if he did not score in a match he won’t response positively and very rude…….. futbol is just for fun I think dat must not happen….. messi world best greatest player ever

ohhhh OMG the Best is always talk about, but what’s about the rest who make the work okk NO PROBLEM I PREFER CHRISTIANO RONALDO FOR D BEST N BALON
D’OR

Cr7 is d best

messi is deserve ballon d’or

Critiano Ronaldo is deserve ballon d’or

critiano ronaldo kudos to u cr7 deserve it not messi

CR7 is d1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

good grief, people are still commenting on this one? let it go people. . .

Messi deserve this balon dor than ronaldo, he is the best and the greatest soccer player in dis generation even this season

CR7 deserved it.

Messi for the Ballon d’

CR7 really deserve ballon d’or 14/15 <3

His performance, technical and precision skills, personality as social being and overall respect enable Messi to win the Baloon d’Or

Hold on now… wait, wait, wait just a sec. How come this is about the “best” player? Has Ballon d’Or lost its original idea. I thought this was all for PLAYER OF THE YEAR – there is no such thing as best player because that means we would have to look at a lot of criteria (e.g, has Messi EVER saved a penalty? Has Ronaldo?)… seriously, to be THE BEST, you’d have to outdo everybody in every field, and goalkeepers therefore deserve just as much of a chance. Then there’s non-European players, some faring so well, way better than ANY player in Europe.

So back to topic; isn’t the award for the best PERFORMING ‘player’ (not team, not most trophy-achieved player)???

messi is the best footballer in the world. the reason why they should give c.r7 is bcz he socer alot of goals in the league and bcz messi was on a bad injure. c.r7 booooooooooooooooooooo

messi is undoubtful king of football wish he wins again,i wnt stop voting fr u king messi

Messi is the greatest among the two. He deserves it, God bless you Messi.

lokendra
P.S learn grammar first maybe?

Messi’s’the best no one like him,always the best ,even he have CR enjoying is because messi have a problem now bt messi is the best

messi is the best then ronaldo

RONALDO ENJOYS IT.

THE BEST RONALDO DESERVES IT

Ronaldo deserve it why since 2011 it was always Messi Messi, CR7 is the best

Cristiano Ronaldo deserve this year ballon d’or, because he justify his self among other players.

C. Ronaldo deserved the ballon d’or because, he is the best among the rest.

Surely will won

Next level

^Pretty creative, but it’s so obvious that one person made all 3 of those comments.

Messi deserves it!

Thats four in a row nice sorry crybaby ronaldo please be bit humble and accept your defeat from now, maybe I’ll vote for you next time

Bwaa haaa haaa I’m crying so much if I dont win ballon dor I should retire

Rafa el don’t you know ballon dor is an individual award , it has got hardly much to do with the team winning trophies.

TOM stop daydreaming

Mr THE TRUTH I forgot, how come messi equalled the record of most international goals in a calendar year without xavi,iniesta,etc.

Hey Mr THE TRUTH. Let me tell you something Ronald’s has ozil, di Maria, alonso sometimes modification and kaka. Why didn’t other barca players like Ibrahimovich or deco etc get so much fame???

Tesarem hailu doesn’t seem to realise the truth!

Pring John please learn English properly. Prasad don’t speak rubbish.

Here is why messi deserved to win. 1. He scored more goals and assisted more(last year they were tied on goals and messi had more assists) 2. Messi broke an individual record which stood for many decades. 3. It is based on a calendar year performance, so messi played well for whole year and ronaldo played well for half a year and played average after that(same reason why sneijder wasnt given it in2010) if it was season wise well, ronaldo would have won by a mile. Hope you understand what I’m saying.

rooney is the best allround player

messi is the best

the 2nd and 4th should gave to another person for 2nd Snider or Ineista and 4th Ronaldo

the should change the voter because some countries just like him for scoring and the dont see the ligue and result,performance,wining and reaching with club and national team

if not , we should wait for other golden balls for messi until he retire.

Guys Messi won the baloon d’or 3 times in a row so what would stop him from winning another….4 what i am thinking messi is the best

i think all the above posts are mad in fact RONALDO IS THE BEST SO HE WIN THE BALLON DOR AWARRD……. !!!

Congratulations! Messi officially ends this debate by claiming 4th time in a row thus being 1st ever! Congratulations to all the fans supporting the true legend!

guys lets write the truth what our mind tell us.
messi is the special one may be a man from another planet. i can’t compare messi with anyone on earth.
We all are lucky to see him.
“God Bless L. Messi’s Legs”

messi is the best player on the earth so far nobody can be compare to him.

Ronaldo is faster stronger better with his head scores from all places and with both feet, he also does this with no xavi iniesta! Look at the past years la Liga team of the year and its same old Barcelona no debate Barcelona are the best but messi isn’t proven in any other league and as for country “yawn”. Ronaldo is by far the better player no jst by attributes, but because he is proven in most leagues! Ronaldo plays on the wing and scores incredibly!

Messi d messiah of football deserve to win it over and over again

I hope every footballers were best players but some one should win to desrve the ballondor if zt is true? The ever best footballer who could won soccer audiances confidence,who could make lasting difference in difficulties,who have talent,knock the hearts of soccer audiances,laid finger prints on soccer & who have an answer for supporters will be the right candidate stand up on this,Every ones heart knows z Guy.who Grow up in Camp of lamacia for sure Ask Ronaldo by himself that will be Leonel Andrias Messi.

hey hey CRISTIANO RONALDO has won the Bollon D’or award 2012. An obvious news.wow.

for me definitely, ronaldo was,is and will b the best for all time. as he has shown the world that he is the best in every aspect of team game s well s individual game. so really sorry this time messi… it is the time forn ronaldo.yap

Messi had 91 goals 34 assists for both club and country while Ronaldo had 61 goals 12 assists for both club and country. Messi won best player in laliga and higest scorer in UCL & laliga. In euro, iniesta won the best player while torres won the golden boot. Cr7 didn’t even win any major award in 2012. Messi truely deserves the ballon d’or

ohhhhw,i dnt feel sarow if i didnt win the ballondor because being second in the world is also one of the things that make me happy.messi is a good player i agree with that!

todays nite will tell us who de best on de planet for de moment

I U PEOPLE WE SEE GOOD THING AND U WE CALLED IT BAD. I wonder y all is debating who is the best. 25yrs old that break the record of 40yrs. Only that is enough to will the ballon

messi should win the balon d’or.coz he is the best player in the world.he is a highest goals scorer in a year.and he always well played…

messi is the best now and for ever ever 100 times more better tha cr7

Ronaldo is deserve to win the best player in the world. his playing is best both legs and head. he can play somewhere in the world like mancher ,porto, real madrid and International team , he always find scores all time.for messi he is better too. But he can play only with Barcelona.for other clubs I think he can. and for his kick only short side.for Ronaldo both sides and the strongest. I think Ronaldo is deserve.

On january 7 2013 Cristiano will be Decleard the best player in the Planet

I think Kilian should win it for he / she’s rational & sagacity explanations towards
Judgement of what the actual representation of what the award actually means…!
Yes, in this particular regard, this award is of an individual achievement, not team!

It should go to La Pulga – That wonder kid Lio Messi…!

messi is super human so this time also he gona win. he is much more thn cr7.

Ronaldo Ronaldo Ronaldo Is Will Be The Winner 100% BE Sure All Of You!

Guys Messi won the baloon d’or 3 times in a row so what would stop him from winning another…………but without Xavi and Iniesta….Messi wouldn’t have won the baloon d’or………….C.Ronaldo deserves the baloon d’or because he scores goals from out of nohere and L.Messi scores obvious goals in the box so yeah………..

Let’s face it….without Xavi and Iniesta Messi would not get close to half the goals Ronaldo scores.

Messi+Xavi+Iniesta>Ronaldo
Ronaldo>Messi

@kilian u ve just mssd out ua point…probably ova writtng….?der z only 1 plyr hu’s surpass messi’s shadw n det z only cr7…..!!n bdwy i dnt thnk messi z far bettr den ronaldo..i assured det messi wil lose his wrld best plyr crown if he apart 4rm barca…coz his speciality z to plyng wid barca’s teammates……n ronaldo’has evrythng he can ply wid any team newhre around d wrld……ronaldo truely deservd dis year’s ballon.dor

i don’t understand why people should debate on issues like this. it is obvious that this is an individual award not a team’s award. if we are looking at what a player won, we could as well say that Alonso is a better player than Iniesta because he won la liga and Euros while Iniesta had only the Euros. i think the ballon d’or has not got to do with the number of trophies, it has to do with individual award. Ronaldo won La Liga but his performance couldn’t be compared to that of Leo Messi. i believe if the ballon d’or is really what it is claimed to be, Messi deserves it without any further analyses

For me mess is more than the best player and ronaldo has fail to drop him.co MESS IS SUPORSED TO GET THAT d’Or.

Well Messi may have performed better as an individual, but it didnt show on his team. I believe the accolade ought to be given to a player who performed as an individual and worked in a team resulting to the team’s collective victory. So for me the battle is strictly between C. Ronaldo and Andres Iniesta

i like was c.ronaldo

for me, Messi should win the Ballon d’Or, he performed better than Cristiano Ronaldo, and Messi showed more improvement through the years than Ronaldo. Messi’s goal is increasing through the years while Ronaldo is just, you know, the usual stuff, lower than Messi. Though Real Madrid won the La Liga, it’s not the big factor on winning this award,it’s more on individual performances and by scoring 91 goals in a calendar year it’s equal to Ronaldo’s awards in 2012. So Messi should win the award.

All the way, Gaynaldo praising his usual runners up position as the case of Liga player of the season

Really Tom and Jerry (The above post)

messi why win the ballon d’or because messi in Barcelona easy to goal score fuck messi go to another club you lose scorin

Mad man totally knw dat messi is the best who else can score 91goals in a year

FOR ME RONALDO IS THE BEST N BETTER THAN ME. HE IS SIMPLY EXRRAORDINARY . I LOVE RONALDO!!! AND PLZZZZ DONT COMPARE ME AGAIN WITH CRISTIANO RONALDO.

i really feel sorry cut for all u messi fans…COZ RONALDO HAS PROVEN HIMSELF the “BEST” INDIVIDUAL AS WELL AS TEAM PLAYER. NO DOUBT HE IS THE BEST AT THE MOMENT

It’s not only about how many clubs and Ligue you have played. Ballon d’or is about the performance of a player’s individual performance, collective performance both for club and country during the year. If it was in which club and championship he has played during his career as a player, then it’s Ibramohvic. If it is country measures, it is about Pirlo, Iniesta, Casillas, Xavi and Alonso followed by Messi, Ronaldo and Ibramohvic. If it is club, then it is Messi, Pirlo, Casillas, Ronaldo, Alonso, Xavi RVP, Falcao and and probably Iniesta(because he missed so many games at the start of the 2011/12 season). Then, if considering overall individual performance, then there one winner (not debatable), Messi clearly with 91 goals and 34 assists for club and country is very far away from 61 goals and 12 assists to that of Ronaldo. One important thing to consider about Falcao and RVP goals contribution, they were far more important than those of Messi and Ronaldo for their respective clubs. In the overall best performers during year 2012, they were as follows: Pirlo, Messi, Iniesta, Casillas, Xavi, Alonso, RVP and Ronaldo respectively. Overall accolades, Messi was best Liga player, in which Ronaldo was third. European golden boot, Champions league leading Goalscorer, in which again Ronaldo was third. Iniesta won the European best player especially for his performance in Euro 2012. While Torres has won the golden shoe ahead of Ronaldo in Euro 2012. The most amazing thing in 2012 is that Torres won the Euro 2012, the Champions League, the FA Cup and the golden shoe for the European championship and his goal that eliminated Barcelona in the semi final while Messi and Ronaldo failed to score and send their team to the Final of CL. If Torres performed at his best level, this would have gave him the edge of Messi for Ballon D ‘or but at the end it is Messi grabbing the Ballon d’or

Sachin Tendulkar 😀

One and only The King Leo

ah… brad dont be an idiot pele hasnt scored 90+ in a calander year

usually all ronaldo fans are either women,gay or idiots and messi fans are intelligent so there for messi should win

if messi want to prove himself as the best let him leave barca becos wen ronaldo win d world best in he leave 4 and still prove as d best so ronaldo deserve d best

I think it’s CR . You have to prove you can play in other clubs and with different players. Messi has not done that.

its tym for ronaldo

where’s the facts? and remember, records are made to be broken, so the record breaking moments aren’t as much help as silverware, especially international level.

How can you compare a messless Messi and Ronaldo in this year’s ballon-dor.

Mourinho has to support Ronaldo this time because Ronaldo accused Real Madrid Mgt of not supporting his candidature in European Best Footballer award which Iniesta won.

Lionel Messi is unarguably the candidate for this year’s ballon dor award.

Without question messi is d best ever. Messi all d way. Without him Ω̴̩̩̩̥o football

I’m sorry but Messi is only the best player in the world RIGHT NOW. Get your facts straight, John. Best EVER player is Pele.

leo messi is best ever player in the world & he is going to win this year best player award ones again

guys plz do not abuse murinho bcz each person in the world knows that murinho is the best coach in the world. he won different trophies in different countries with different club, such as chelsea, inter milan, real madrid so then what he said is right. coming on Ballon d ‘or,,, so we know that ronaldo deserve to win it becoz last season he won the la liga title from barca and then copa del ray as well from barca. so then we go for the goals scored by messi, the goals doesnt mean anything that messi score in year more 84, so now ronaldo scored less goals but really important once.

people all over the world just think twice don’t be like coach for real madrid he wish something he can not happen he talk about winning la liga. if so is not to chose in la liga only! check 1
bundasliga2english premier league olso ther are champion …….
My self i can say that the winner is MESSI.

ronaldo is the best b/se ronaldo survive in all environments and situations even not found in his club like iniesta and xavi but he does!!

And Barca dominates everything because of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Valdes (sic), Puyol, and co.

If it has to go to a Barca player, it should be Iniesta. He is more integral to Barca than a certain number 10.

Messi may be best player.but not this 2011-12.this year is ronaldo’s.la liga.euro12. Messi 90 goals is in the season2012-13.u idiots messi fan are illiterate.why didn’t Ronaldo win in 2010-11 when he was top scorer with only copa del rey.

Ronaldo should not win becos he scored goals that won la liga. I mean what of drogba, aguero and rvp? U make noise about messi proving himself in another team? Cr7 moved to manu and then real madrid. Tell me why he wont perform well. He could have gone to stoke city and then mallorca. Let me see what he will do there. Messi has nothing to prove. That he has xavi and iniesta? Are u aware that of his 90 goals this yr the duo of xavi and iniesta only assisted 10? Whats wrong with u guys? Stop analysing soccer in d air. As for me, ballon d’or should go to iniesta or messi. Ronaldo does not deserve it. Real madrid won la liga cos of higuain, benzema, de maria and cr7.

Too many subjective comments here. If we speak based on data and statistic than no one can beat Messi this year. How many players can score 90 goals in a year? I can only think of one man, that’s Messi. Not to mention how many assists he made. Last season he give Barca a trophy (Copa del Rey), La Liga top scorer, CL top scorer. This season he take Barca lead the La Liga by 9 points above Atletico and 13 points above Madrid. Correct me if I’m wrong.

messi no go fit play any other club incase u no know bcos him na barca pikin and no get long troat 4 money like ronald. if ronaldo like make he go psg\ juventus\ or warri wolfs messi stil day there

Ronado can beat lio messi because the goals of ronaldo was efficient for him team.

Who in dis planet can do d tins dat leo do wen his wit d ball,he deserves dis evry season. His simply d best in d world.

Hello, everyone. I can’t believe you are still debating on this topic. Even Mourinho, albeit sarcastically, admitted that Leo should win this accolade. Seriously, look at what he is doing out there and how he keeps improving day-by-day and match-by-match. I do believe that CR7 had a fantastic season but I fear that his recent instable form and his team’s unlikely performance this season may cast doubt on his being selected. Theoritically though, Ballon d’Or nominees should be assessed against their performance over the previous season which spanned Aug2011 thru May2012, where CR7 does have a slight advantage!

Cristiano deserve the Ballon d’Or due to his performance at Real madrid because atleast he improved than we he was in Man United. Ronaldo deserve that respect! for he is Awesome.

Im not fan of real madrid even barca.. or Messi, inesta n c.ronaldo.. but who is deserve Ballon D’Or this year 2012.. is…. LIONEL MESSI! please Check the Individual Achievement! Not Team Achievement! if u say CR deserve.. u blind! u choose bcoz CR is your favorite player only..not his individual achievemnt.. so plz ok..

if the winner is to be judge by their performance i think Ronaldo deserve to win the 2012 Fifa Ballon d’Or ,because Ronaldo has better achievement that Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta…….he won La liga with his 46 goals and another Spanish cup,he also lead his national team to reach EURO2012 semi-finals which they lost on penalties,Iniesta has won what he deserve already,so the best player should not be judge by likeness….but by their achievements…..

leo is not better than ronalsdo …. ronaldo is the complete player

ronaldo is gonna win it this year

Tari, it’d be a good idea for him to do so, though, to actually prove himself. He’s always dominant at Barca, and he’s beginning to hit his stride this past year with Argentina. But let’s see Messi do these things more often, without the likes of Xavi and Iniesta to supply him with the opportunities.

U guyz re mentionin abt ronaldo playin in different teams in different countries, dat messi shuld go out 4rm barca 2 shw is worth, if i may ask wer do u rilli want messi 2 play again is der any team beta dan barca dat messi shuld sign 4, wel u guyz re jus bunch of idiot 4 saying all dis tinx.

what do u xpect from mourinho?
even blindman knows that messi is the BEST and the best should go to the BEST……….

Ronaldo deserve the award of the year

Surely Lionel Andres Messi deserves the 4th consecutive FIFA Balon d’Or due to his consistency, team play and utmost effectiveness. If Balon d’Or is an individual award, it has to go to non other than Messi. Messi already have a record breaking season:
1- 50 goals in a single season of La Liga.
2- 73 goals for Barcelona in all competitions of a single season.
3- Most goals in a single edition of UEFA Champions League.
4- Most goals in a single match of UEFA Champions League (5).
5- Most goals in a calender year for his club and country (already 86).
With all these all time records broken in one year, if Messi does not deserve the FIFA Player of the year, then who else?
5-

There is no doubt Messi is the best. Ronaldo is only a striker and there are players like Van Persie who can match his skills, while Messi is an all round player, a striker, feeder and a play maker. No question about that. He is half the strength of the Barcelona team. He deserves the top spot

My dear Ronaldo is d best he has prov both country nd club,he tak his country to Eruo2012 semi final nd also his club 2win la liga after years,he prove himself by playin purtogal,England and is now in Spain to compite wit messi to tel d world that he can in any country or club,messi should go out 4rm baca nd prove himself Ronaldo the winner

Yes, it will be fair if RONALDO win Ballon d’Or. He has show peak soccer skill playing in 3 countries, Portugal, England and now in Spain. Messi only good in Barca with Xavi and Iniesta. Without Xavi or Iniesta, Messi will suffer.

cr7 is the best he is going to win the ballon de oro he is better then messi and falcao real madrid

messi is the best.messi is the best no matter what

Mou you better close your mouth bcause messi is the best among the bests

y is mourinho crying foul when it comes to the truth even ronaldo knows messi is better than him if we talk of trophy then the award should go to iker but it is an individual award thats were messi the record breaker comes top and for ibrahimovic he should stop bein jealous of messi

the winner of this issue is lionel messi no coment about this am gona wait march 2013

Mourinho can neve bacK Messi or Iniesta coz thoz are his nightmares! How cn such a highly proffesional coach say Ronaldos goals won the league therefore he shud be given the Ballon D’or award! When even Drogbas goals that won the UCL title cnt evn make him a nominee!! Wht abt Sergio Aguero’s goals 4 EPL!

ronaldo is truly the best. what else does the world want to see do. he has survived playing in 3 countries, Portugal, england and now in spain. he joins a team when they are struggling and help turn them into champions in Portugal with sporting lisbon, in england with man united and now with real madrid in spain. what else is there for ronaldo to prove. what team can messi survive in if he leaves barca today?

obviously ronaldo. since his move to spain he has been a complete team player. yes he struggled a lot from the start of his career in spain. but his performance last season was owesome beyond compare as he finally silenced over 90,000 fans inside the camp nou with his goal that helped to beat barcelona 2-1 and finally win the la liga after 4 years for real madrid.

Even a blind man knows that Lionel Messi is well ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in the race for the Ballon d’or sentiment apart. At the moment, messi is the best footballer around.

Morinho said ronaldo’s goals won the league so he deserve the ballon dor? What about drogba’s goals that won the UCL, aguero’s goals that won the EPL. And so on… Its so sad for a good coach to analyze football as mourihno did. This shows that he doesn’t understand football analysis. The simple truth is that messi or iniesta desere the award.

On my perspective LEO is going to be the winner of the FOURTH year consecutive of the BALLON D’OR he shows his efforts on assisting the team as well as scoring important goal. He ca be judged while he has his fourth prices on his way PROUD TO HAVE SUCH KIND OF PLAYER IN THIS CONTEMPORARY WORLD

GO LEO GO EVEN PELE IF PELE HATES U COZ OF UR RECORD BREAKING. GO LEO GO

iniesta beat these two guys as best player in europe but what is this nonsense that ronaldo or messi are the best?

all madrid fans were went you when they gave messi the best player in the league despite he did not win the tittle

All time? That’s bull, you took it too far Elizabeth M.

For starters, how many World Cup winner’s medals does Messi have?

I know for a fact the true, all time greatest: PELE, has 3 medals.

Have never seen a player like Messi,he is the greatest of all time,he is the winner

Messi

None but L.Messi

Some people are saying that leo is incomplete becoz he cant use his head, is that true? They are saying this becoz he will win the ballon D’or

Leo Messi is a different class from anyone at the moment. He makes and scores goals weak-in weak-out and this is what makes a player gr8. He should comfortable win it.

well a lot has been said,everybody is entitled to his opinion, but lets rather keep sentiment aside and call a spade a spade, cr7 is a talented and a very good player but messi is the best, for now he simply has no equal.anything short of this is a manoeuvre and an unscrupulous attempt to deny the poor child(messi) of his hard earned glory.

christiano is gud bt messi is best eve in history of football and if u ask me i will said dat messi is d world best play of d year.. is obvious dat messi is d best………………….

Christiano is a good player out of talent and hard work, Messi is a product of Pure genius…
Had there been no Messi around, christiano should have won, just like had there been no Ronardinho that year, Tiery Henry should have won…

obviously messi…. all others are hell pussys worth….

i think messi shold take it nt just because i don’t like ronaldo messi has broken countless records won more laliga cups than any player in madrid although last season he did not make it and the team came second place,i think messi is good in everything dribbling,he got speed,he shares the ball,listens to the coach and he is a team player but ronaldo tries stuipd things and stiupd ways to score goals and ends up complaning about injuries and he is always faking messi is a very strong player he can paly all 39 matches without the banch and plays to his fullest and messi with pep are unstopable

Anyone can deserve it,like Mata & Torres(uefa,fa,euro,world cup)Iker cassilas,Xabi Alonso(world cup,euro,la liga),Iniesta&Xavi(world cup,euro,copa del lay),Didier Drogba(Afcon,Uefa,fa)Neymar(top scorer,brazilian league),Cristiano Ronaldo(La liga) but Lionel Messi has broken the football records that weren’t thank that there is someone who can do the same,to break a Pele record who is among the two fathers of football your honour must be more the ballon d’or!all deserves but Messi is the best of the best football player in the World!

Every body know that CR7 is the only player that can play in any club in the world so in this case CHRISTIANO RONALDO deserve it than any player in the world is a multipulpose player it can play any wing on the field.RONALDO 100% loaded

Real madrid board im using dis oportunity 2 inform jose mou dat cr7 kill 60% game of real madrid , if d oportunit givin 2 cr7 is givin 2 benzema i bet u benzema wil perform beter.

Messiless messi is head of d house why cr7 is tail of house ok ,messi is d owner of d award cr7 ur pride wil nt take u 2 anywhere

i believe cr7 has some unique characteristics ahead of leo,ie shot,use of both foot,aeria,long range strike,individual stylish skills.with this,i think cr7 must win the balon dor

God made THE KING OF THE WORLD IN SOCCER SIR CRISTIANO RONALDO TO SHOW THE MIDGET HOW IT IS DONE HOW TO PLAY AND HOW TO BE HONEST AND TO BE A DIRTY PLAYER FAKE AND CANNOT PLAY ON HIS OWN NEEDS HELP FROM THE OTHERS NOT FAIR FOR THE OTHER PLAYERS THAT HE PLAYS WITH.

The midget is a loser and gay

The other one is fake and not very inteligent ugly and not a complete player. Cr7 is THE ABSOLUTE PLAYER THERE IS NO ONE ELSE WHO CAN PLAY THE WAY HE DOES. Cr7 is THE KING OF EUROPE. NO one in this world likes him accept the press who are being paid by barca to make the midget look good. Have you people noticed how the press never ever say anything negative about him!!!!!!! It is very evil they will pick on Cr7 for everything he does right or wrong they twist it just to make the world gainst him. Well, they havent succeded yet because the world still love him and prefer him to the other.Th midget is not for real

Cr7 is THEEEEEEEEEE KING OF TH WORLD NOT THE OTHER ONE FAKE…CR7 IS A COMPLETE PLAYER THE OTHER CANNOT PLAY ON HIS OWN.IF CR7 DOESNT GET THEN THE WORLD BOYCOTT RM AND NOT WATCH IT SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG .THE OTHER …..IS NOT FOR REAL

THE MESSILESS ONE DESERVES IT….MOU WILL ALWAYS BE A BAAAAAAAAD LOOSER

MESSI SHULD RETAIN HIS TITLE BECAUSE OF THE GOALS HE SCORED AND THE BALLO ITSELF ITS AN INDIVIDUAL PRICE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL GOALS.THEY LOST THE LEAGUE BUT HE WON THE MOST GOALZ.PEOPLE THIS IS A STRIKER TROPHY NOT A TEAM TROPHY.HALLAH

messi is the best.messi win

i think both players are heavenly gifted however, i really likes ronaldo’s football skills just like ronaldinho, ronaldo makes football more lively. i strongly be leaf ronaldo should get it this time.

i had chebbi….. i dn’t kow wat he say in his coment
i think he dn’t knw how to chose gut player …i want to say he is mad guys….
n i suport cr7 ronldo

Messi and Ronaldo are very very talented but one of have to pick it up and I as a person is giving it out to Lionel Messi

Leo Messi iz merciles when comes 2 footbal, cr7 should be busy taking some notes frm Messi fo him 2 be è future winner not this time. Mourinho wishes 2 be Leo’s coach thats why he iz jelous. I vote fo Messi

I think Messi should win and he will win no doubt guys…

Messi,falcao,iniesta.all of them suck give it to CR7
CR7 is the best player in the world and sho get the B D Or

I think CR7 deserves this year Ballon d’Or because he had a fantastic season, winning one of the best league title in the World but also steering his national team in Euro 2012 and YES to me he is a complete football player i.e he can shoot with both legs, dribbling skills and for the record he is one of the fastest player in the pitch.

All hail king of football leo messi. He deserve it & he is going to win it the 4th time in a row.

Am a Madrid die hard fan. No matter the hatred most of u have for us,it’s Madrid forever. Putting sentiment aside CR7 is a player whom shoulders almost all the club responsibilities but in terms of play making,I will go for Messi. I think he (Messi) deserve the top prize too.

We know that Messi is a best prayer than cr7,so messi will win Ballon d’or.i would like 2 inform everyone that MESSI will win the Fifa Ballon d’or.

Cr7 never makes any diffrnce in the game.he allways try to score only.he never passes in dpost.becoz he never wanna others to score. but evryone know that messi allways comes with dffrnt game.and also scores and assists.then thr will be no justice if cr7 gets ballo…
Cr7 only know to make fancy dribbles…
If u r a true fan of football u just watch messis videos in youtube.
We cant compare messi to anyone.
I dnt know why c.ronaldo is now 2nd.iniesta plays better than cr7.
Benzema plays better than cr7.
If benzema gets 90 min on the pitch like cr7 he wil score more thn him.

Ronaldo should get it, because he is competing with a magician and the fight is indeed competitive and above all one can learn winning technics from him

Cristiano Ronaldo is my man. i think he should win cos he has been imprssive through out this season

LONG LIVE KING MESSI

Messi should win this years ballon d’or coz he is a great player given by God..In every matches he used to score a goal for his country and club..he is super…..God Bless Messi..i like him so much…….

I give my vote 2 leo mess bcoz he deserve it 4 da fourth time.mess dose not need cr7 shots to compete.leo is talented but cr7 need hard trianing to reach leo level

I say Ronaldo because he is a player that can play in any club in the world not like messi that can not play any club after barca but he is a player

Messi is d best player to win d ballor d

Messi will set the greatest records in football history, because he will win the ballon D O award 12. If U ask CR7 now he will tell U that this award belong to PAPA MESSI

i deserve to win it

lionel Messi should win the ballon D O award he is complete player than ronaldo

i dont believe in Morinho because last yaer he said CR7 was hieght scorer .. so he sould get it…… but now he saya that cr7 won la liga so he should get it .. ha ha ha ha ha fuck him……. man city., juventus,, dotmundo also won their title.. there coachs dont claim balon d or….. chelsea won UCL… but D Motteo does not claim it for Drogba…..

remember…..not every single year or ten years or fifty-years and more periode a big name player in history could set many new record like messi did last year.

LION DE MESSI, should win this year’s Ballon d’O award. he deserve it. he is a complete player,not selfish, not full of pride,he is entertaining and magical with the ball.

Everybody should know that Leo Messi is a number 1 player in football world.In his long carrier he gets various kinds of award.ballon d’or one of them that, he got last three times.this season Leo messi playing his best of his Carrier.He getting goal in club and country every match.And a HOT news that Leo messi going to breaking Brazilian star pele’s record “max goals 75 in one season”.So Ballon D’or, thats 1ly for Leo Messi………

CR7 is a game changer, and he can adapt in any team in this world, bt Leo Messi don’t want 2 leave Barca. coz he knows dat after leaving 4m Barca his carreer will be finished. So, think who is better between CR7 n messi.
CR7 is the right person to get this BALLON D’OR AWARD 12.

i think christiano ronaldo should get the balloo.de. award because in most of the competition his playing skills and how to play the football and not only play for football but also he make all the people who see the match more attractive and people are more like to see the football and also for roanldo…..he also makes the remarkable goals in the champions league and laliga…..

Cloud, U point is so good n i think CR7 deserves the ballon d’or award. and without barca leo messi is USELESS.

messi is better than ronaldo and he deserved that !

.. sorry for the error, i forgot to put the word MILLION after the 30. 30 million euros.

.. welcome back too mardon. Well, i didn’t say that Messi will go to PSG. My whole point is Messi leaving Barca altogether, a different set of team-mates and let’s see if he can adjust that well like Ronaldo did at Real.

.. as for Ronaldo going for the money – if he wants the money he would have been in russian team Anzhi right now with 30 euros a year, but he didn’t go there now did he ??

.. as for Ronaldo wanting attention ?? He doesn’t need to do anything fancy to get attention, he is even trying to shield himself from all the press and take the attention off him so that he can have a normal life.

Messi is more dan CR.

Cloud, that’s solely your interpretation. Now here is mine: Messi thinks PSG is a team envisaged by the temporary hobbies of big pockets and lacking the so-called club philosophy and history. Only players solely motivated by financial interests would accept their offers. I would be hardly surprised if your icon joined them sometime soon. You would call this ” he is after challenge while to me he has always been after money and attention”

Barca is the best team in the world now and is bound to be one in years to come with their unmatched youth school and unique football phiosophy. Only a fool or someone greedy would leave them for some fledgling PSG.

.. messi is the best, ronaldo is the best, could you one liner people give at least the reason to why you say so ??

.. i came back to this discussion coz i read an article:: https://www.soccernews.com/messi-rules-out-move-to-france/105906/

.. messi said this “””” “Paris Saint-Germain’s project tempting? No, no! I have the best team-mates in the world at Barcelona. We fight for trophies every season,” Messi was quoted as saying by France Football. “””””

.. he is afraid to leave Barca coz he knows that he can’t do well without his team-mates Xavi and Andres. he is a sissy boy.

.. compare that to Ronaldo, even if he was the Gem of United, he still wanted to leave and joined Madrid coz he is confident of his own ability that no matter who his team-mates are, he can still make a difference. And we all see how good he’s doing now with Madrid.

messi should win the award

CR7 is a good player not best player u people have to understand that, Messi is the best ever he deservs wold best even 100% more than CR7. people that have eyes knows the best is only the blind ones sees CR7 as thier best player

People that have eyes knows the bst, cr7 is a good player not best play. Messi have all the qualities to win wold best 20 times bcos he is the best

If we want to determine who deserve this year Barlon D OR btw messi and ronaldo . this is a clear something that messi deserves it.base on the tittle, messi won more than ronaldo. ronaldon won just laliga while messi won 2(world clud cup and kings cup).base on personal achievement, nothing to discuss on this because messi won everything. highest goal scorer in laliga, champion’s league as well as all time highest goal scorer.MY PEOPLE LET US SAY THE REALITY BY GIVEN THE HONOR TO WHOM DESERVE IT.MESSI IS THE BEST AND EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS EXCEPT OF……………..

Lets swap these two players, Messi to Madrid and Ronaldo to Barcelona, then you’ll have your answers. Ronaldo is a complete player and can fit in any team. He really fights for the ball I watch him make those tedious runs for the ball, of which Xavi and Iniesta just know where to set the ball and Messi will come walking. But in the end both are great players but I like how Ronaldo as staid from the time of Ronaldinho, Kaka, and Messi… To put an end to this lets give it to Iker Casillas

the fact is, Every year in the best competition in europe, there is so many ggod player won the league title but they’r not won ballon d’ or. ronaldo won la liga title wth RM, the only reason for him to winning ballon D’or….. but who like messi . He set a new world record of scoring over 70 goals in a single season. and almost broke pele’s goal record, broke uefa CL goal record. and many more record… not every year or every ten or fifty year periode or more… the football player might set like messi does… messi is the football history…. in he did last year… he must win ballon D’or…

I always read abt dat if messi wants 2 b a legend or d best dat he shuld win world cup witt his country and not 2 b d best in barca. I want 2 ask wat has ronaldo carried wit portugal. Beside wat careless xcuse dat he took is country 2 seminal of europe, is dat an xcuse y he shuld win d balon d’or shame 2 u all ronaldo. Messi we all gat ur back u deserve it.

I c no reason y d name of ronaldo shuld b mentiond. All diz stupid fans of arrogant ronaldo and sentimental coach like mourinho, i tell u, u knw notin cos ronaldo has playd notin. Messi all d way.

^#Yet another arrogant Messi fan# smh

Ronaldo has stopped flopping considerably, you’ll notice.

Leo shud b da best playa,cos he has broken so many records lyk being the1st player to score 5 goals in champions league and that,CR7 wuld never be able to do.

the self proclaimed special one is a dreamer. Messi is a team footballer in a league better than the selfish speed merchant cristiano. cristiano might get it when the Magical Leo is retired. his award should be that of a cry baby as he is always on the turf complaining when dispossessed of the ball. you will cry again cause its Leo’s.

hei who told u ronalo is arrogant?it is b’coz of his freshness,he is older than messi but still fresh and dat is de reason why u say he is arrogant but he be fresh guy and he deserves this year’s ballon dor for so many reasons and after all,he is better dan messi .NO RONALDO,NO FOOTBALL,CR7 ALL THE WAY.

If you compare BARCA and RM as a whole, rating the players for both team you could probably say RM will come on TOP. BUt which team plays the BEST you have to give it to BARCA. Balon D oro is individuality accomplishment. Not only for the team you’re playing, but overall. I personally believe Messi is probably going to win again. He has broken records and probably will continue to break more records by the time they announce the winner.

Breaking records are nice, leo messi, but if you’re gonna do it, make sure you help your team get silverware while you do it. Otherwise it’s just another little tidbit that’s nice to know about.

the only reason for ronaldo winning the ballon d’or is “ronaldo won la liga” when madrid won la liga not ronaldo. This means that the best player from the most successful team which was didier drogba. But messi has to win it!!

I don’t know why everbody in Barcelona selling brand ‘messi’. Just look at ronaldo he’s fighting the battle all along all these years.
I guess ballon d’or is about playing well and making the difference in football,however not in who sells himself or someone how well.
Messi and Barcelona ought to prove they played well.

Yes,there is a rumour messi is best in the world. I say, only in Barcelona…there also he needs dry cell (xavi and iniesta). It’s really sad he plays for argentina.

Barcelona was there even without messi… But ronaldo made the difference with madrid,last season… I don’t know who’s the best? Still i consider ronaldo should win the award, this time. Not because he deserves it,instead he earned it. Although both are record-breaker, individually. Last season ronaldo broke record by scoring highest number goals in Laliga, but this year messi breaks ronaldo’s record. Who knows?? ronaldo might break messi’s,this season.

Leo is the best,he is creative,he can dribble,he scores,nw added a new technics of freekicks..,c7 is jst support by d best coach.

He set a new world record of scoring over 70 goals in a single season. He set another world record for scoring 15 goals in UEFA Champions league. Messi, Messi, Messi.. he deserves it.

messi is phenomenal in terms of individual footballer as well as team mate.

Looks like Don has taken on a new name. ^^^^

Disgraceful.

cr7 deserve it..

yes…..@ahmed i ve seen many legends hu were nt able 2 win wrld cup….1)zinedane zidane2)raul gonjalez3)luis figo….!!k so did leo meSSi win d wc?….@ahmed…atleast cr7 led der team 2 semifinal in euro12….!!messi z just a crap..his goals machine wz activate wen he z in barca….excpt barca he z useless…got it….

CR7 IS THE BEST ALL ROUND FOOTBALLER WITH MAN U WITH REAL MADRID WITH THE NATIONAL TEAM. MESSI PLAYS WELL WITH BARCA THATS ABOUT.IT ? CR7 THE BEST WITH BALOON DOR OR WITHOUT IT,.

Robot V/S Phenomenal.
Ronaldo is equal to ego and he will only be backed by such fools like Morinho. Madrid is not playing well now, both the manager and the protege are not happy, Morinho shows that he apple polishes a stupid self centered egoist like Ronaldo, anyone who scores for Madrid. We see a normal celebration, sometimes not even the emotion, Ronaldo scores the guy has to buy a new suit. To me Messi is the best and if he does not win it is because he lacks the arrogance of CR7. Morihno should consult Ronaldo’ Portugal teammates to find out how popular he is in Portugal.
I rest my case

same old driblng 4rm messi…new2 tricks n skills 4rm ronaldo….!!wow just luvd it.

@ leo, have ever seen a legend without world cup? Is like u are a baby in the world of football

messi is better than the past players and the present players.even cr knows that messi is better than him,is either messi wins ballon’or or i will never watch football again.ronaldo your time is over so go take care of your kids,fuck u ronaldo and madrid as a team.messi just play the best u can cause u are the man born to be the greatest of all time.

christaiano ronaldo is far better than messi. he deserves to win this years balon do’r. it’s obvious and there shouldn’t be any argument about this. cr7 is the best player in the world.

messi deserve it bcs play soccer and that is what they call sport manship messi is not talking on pich when u
hite him but cr7 when u come to pumpos u will see cr7 dear so i am a marid fans i says the true messi deserve it pls .great player in world messi

Messi deserves it all……some people say messi should try another team and see but the fact remains that u cant be in d best team and opt for a lower team.Barca is rated one of the best team becos it has d best players such as messi.Messi is a calm,tactical team player and i cant resist his style play.He’s a sensational team player……He deserves it the fourth time.CR7 is good but messi is my best!

Fifa shud stop playing games wit ballon d’or, wat is so special about messi, it has bin luck all d way. Remove barca watelse is left 4 Messi. Why qualify him even to win it last 2Years.

@Jack Contribution towards team success is one of the criteria for world player of the year… Means your performance actually did something.
Scored a goal with his hands? so he deserves to win Ballon d’Or…
And in which universe did Messi make a run against a WHOLE team?

People, CR7 keeps showing remarkable performances in Spain – I knw El Clasicos dnt prove who’s worthy, but six consecutive El Clasicos? Never before…
Also, contributing to a team’s premier league success, leading Portugal to third on the world rankings. Even Messi hasn’t done the things Ronaldo showed. Sure, five goals in ONE GAME, leading the La Liga top goal scorer sheet by FOUR GOALS – with nothing to show 4… Does that really min u deserve to be player of the YEAR?

Just look this way, all Argentina votes for Messi, and half Portugal too, just go to Portuguese football forums and see the battle between Portuguese’s about who is the best, i vote for Messi, is more complete, is the only one to score a goal even with hands, Ronaldo is not capable of make a run against a whole team like Maradona, Messi did it. if you take hes super strong kick, Ronaldo is a Di Maria.

Ballon d’Or goes to the best player, not team, yes Madrid won La Liga, but it was a team work, Messi did the best season ever, in history, that’s a fact, better than Pele or Maradona ever played, best scorer in La Liga and Champions League, second place in assists won by Ozil. 4 Years in Real, CR won only 1 Liga, 1 cup and 1 Supercup, and 1 golden shoe and Messi won 16 prizes. Ronaldo is great player, but is not Real best ever, Messi is the one to become the best ever of the world. Legend.

yes he shld hv wn this year….rm’talisman cr7 he is undoubtly mch much bettr den leo……i agree villa u hd a very gud point messi was plyng barca at the age of 8 or 9 compare 2 entry of cr7 ix madrid unbelievble truely unbelievble….in a vry sort of time in madrid…he blast evry1…….

ronaldo should win ballon’dor dis year…….!!!!to b honest messi z nthng expct barcelona….he may hero in barca bt excpt barca tell me guys wat hd been he achieved yet…..i agree he’s got many silverwre in barca…..oviously y dnt others acheive 2 for a while he ve been plyng in same team mre den 15yrs….its so easy ply wid lads hus plyng wid ther childhood time…..luk cr7 he’s a truely unbelievle his entry z wz awesme in laliga even though he might changes d club bt his passion futbal waz nt change he scores mre goal den lionel messi……n he adapt very quickly to spanish plyng stlye….suppose cr7 hv been plyng fo madrid since he wz child…like messi…..ohh for god shake”none can comparable 2 cr7……..he z juz complete plyer……!!messi z just a crap…ass hole!!

ronaldo deserves it… he achievd alot wit madrid combined wit his effort wit portugal in europe 2012… he won laliga n scored 66 goals last season.. Wat more do u want?

are u prople campainin for ronaldo or wat ………messi all de way

leo messi desreve it at all cost. NO MESSI NO BALLON D’OR!!!!!!

At Rajin, th@ was such a racist comment!!! I’m so offended… Need I remind u th@ Ronaldo is the only player to have scored in six successive El Clasico’s – and none of them were free kicks!
And anyway, so w@ if Pele is black? Hope you die of cancer!

RONALDO IS BETTER THAN MESSI . SO BOLLANDOR IS BELONG-ES TO THE RIGHT PERSON RONALDO.THANKS

ronaldo is better than messi so the Ballondor is belonges to Ronaldo

ronaldo every clasico he has to fall just to get a free kick but he still cant get that right messi should win it again because u cant compare him to messi.messi is the best ever way beter then that black cake pele ronaldo can compare himself to flcao or xavi end of story.

torres,ronaldo

i am sure that ronaldo or fernando torres will win.

To me i think and am so sure that christiano Ronaldo had a better season compared to messi ang Iniesta.Ronaldo single handedly led madrid to la liga victory last season and he scored the most crucial goals which most of us saw.To me Ronaldo deserves it.

i think messi is the best player the world has ever had. So he deserves it again

ronaldo deserve to win this time cr7 is better than messi

Need silverware to back the record breaking up. Otherwise, the challenge for the award is not bulletproof. The records only make it robust, and the Supercoppa only more so. Get La Liga/CL/both, then it’s bulletproof.

Messi deserves it…
He was the top scorer in La Liga(50), UCL for the 4th consecutive year(14), and Europe(73)….
And All of them are current records….
How could we demand more from a player…
moreover this award is for a player, not for team, so consider performance first…..

Messi or Ronaldo are all good players but if i were to give the award or ballon d, i will allow messi to change club to determine if he can really perform well because i have seen Ronaldo moving to about 3 clubs and he is performing very well or adapt easily.

At Tayo Jay, I also think Messi has the edge over CR7, bt which ‘more official trophies’ did Messi win over CR7 in the 2011/2012 season?
@Emeka… Th@s rily putting personal opinion over the actual happenings. Honestly, I wud rather Casillas wins it, bt do not just ignore CR7’s outstanding performances last, AND this, season

guess what guys: cr7 doesnt even get short-listed in d final 3. it’s leo, iniesta & iker period. with cr7 coming a close 4th. leo, cos of his individual brilliance, equalling & breaking of age-old records in the season under consideration. his(&iniesta’s) loss of d liga to cr7&iker’s real, is off-set by d winning of d copa del rey; supercopa d’espania & europe; d club world cup; & a superior head-2-head against iker & cr7’s real. cr7 only comes 4th cos of his individual skills. any cr7 claims to d award cos of la liga win is crass cos d argument can be made that d liga bbva is not as strong as say d epl in terms of spread of strength in d top tier; else top players in each club that won d league in each of d top leagues can also lay claim to d balon d’or. UCL affords us a platform 2 compare across leagues. here, cr7,leo,iniesta&iker finished at d same level but leo had an edge having scored d highest goals with his team playing beautifully(we must always honour beautiful attacking football over negative, defense-minded football when it comes to awards of this nature & that’s why d UCL winner, chelsea goes off d radar. bayern is reckoned with but there was no really outstanding player, comparatively). in d euros, iniesta & iker’s spain beat cr7 hands down. infact cr7’s portugal qualified thru d back down even if they finally got to the semi’s. messi’s albiceleste still top d 2014 qualifying group. In the final analysis,for me really, the choice is between iniesta & leo but ill say it’s leo 1st, iniesta then iker. daring to put iker before cr7 &/or pushing 4 a salary raise has led to the cr7 nebulous sadness. why tell us you’re sad if you won’t tell us why. soccernews, please pay me for this analysis else i’ll let it be known that i’m sad even writing this!!!

It would be close, too close to call, really. I’m not going to even bother predicting the outcome. I was surprised this past season as I predicted Barca (and Messi) would win against Madrid (and Ronaldo). In a case of Argentina vs. Portugal, the only surprise would be if the final score is 0-0.

@ chris white; we are seeing that scenario already; with Ronaldo on Portugal and Messi on Argentina.

Ronaldo deserves Ballon ‘d

could there be a football match btwn R madrid and Baca. Let messi play for madrid and CR 7 for Baca, lets see who is better under every circumstance.

Ronlado should win it not bcs messi won three times already, but bcs CR7 deserves it. Played better thank messi, last leason beten him in allmost every meeting – last and this season. Let truth be told.

BECAUSE MESSI IS A FANASTIC PLAYER

I’M SURE LIONEL MESSI REALLY DESERVE THE BALLOON D

You’re right Tejas, but the problem is this: Where’s the silverware? Messi only helped Barca get the Supercoppa. They didn’t win the CL, or the La Liga.

Good &fine..when talkñ abt c-boy &LEO messi 4dis year’s ballon d’or. bt if its judged by individual statistics per season den Leo-messi dservs it (77goals,joint highest goal scorer in ucL with 14 goals,5goals in a single uefa match&14 hatrick in a single season).if by UEFA competition xavi Henandez dservs it folowing his record breakñ pass in d euro ‘012 & 4 wining d trophy.if by wining league,den evry good player dat won His league deservs it not only cr-7.

Ronaldo helped Madrid with the title agreed . But if it was not 4 messing , Baca could have lost by 20-30 pts to Madrid. Besides that 73 goals takes some doing. 5 goals in a match , just brilliant. Messi should win the player of the year

It’s very funny sometimes how humans think!

Messi is definitely not as great as Pele, but I think he has an edge over C. Ronaldo. As I have said before, CR7 may have won La Liga, but Messi was a better goalscorer in all competitions, won more official trophies and broke more important records in the 2011/12 season. Having said that, I think Iniesta may settle this unending dispute for the time being!
If Iniesta is shortlisted in the final three and goes on to win it, then the Messi-CR7 rivalry may be resolved at least for now. Each would not be happy if the other wins it; Iniesta should and justifiably so!

Messi still the best for this planet

Well, messi is a great player, but CR7 did a great job this with winning La liga, spanish supercup scoring winning goals 4 Real, This time RONALDO deserve BALLON D’OR

Messi will win Balon d’or again….and for the 04 times…

i think messi is going to win again, he is still to good for ronaldo

l think messi is the best ever playe in this planet and he deserv every thing in foot ball

Hmmm… You know, I’ve never thought of it that way Dobrev. We’ve all got our favorites; and we’ve all got our reasons for the player we side with, but Ballon d’Or does not mean ‘Messi or Ronaldo’! Or personal feelings stop us from really seeing the light in others – and from being honest enough to realize and be persuaded. Indeed, there are exceptional performances from other players – from the goal stoppers to the pure poachers

Nor Ronaldo or Messi win Ballon d’Or because of what they do on the pitch… Surely it has some effect, but it’s mainly because of their names.. Messi is Messi and Ronaldo is Ronaldo… Someone just thinks that they must be nominated every year, or the award won’t have any “prestige”. In terms of skills and what they’ve done on the pitch, this year’s and next year’s winner should be Radamel Falcao, for he’s done so much for Atletico with his tallent. But I’m sure he’ll never win it unless either Ronaldo or Messi retires… And I don’t think it’ll happen soon… Though Ronaldo will soon be thirty and it shows up a bit.

Ronaldo deserves it,messi is not worth for the award this year…if messi is given the award then i’ll know that there was cheating

messi is fantastic, but has not don’t enough this season as compared to to Ronaldo. Ronaldo should be given this trophy he deserves it. no politics should be involved.

i think inesta wii win,,,,

inesta….will win 100’%

messi is all a fans need to celebrate not about just the goal he score ok. it about how he go about managing his performance in the game, the love of soccer is to accept what the game is to offer not about you winner it all. if you have watch the europe 2012 award you will see it all. the game is not only on the pitch. ronaldo should learn to be graetful of others. good things comes slowly ok .he a great player but selfish.

Just to correct (ever noticed how people love to work on the mistakes of others): I meant …record, and the fastest one hundred goals in the entire La Liga history.
At Brad, I cannot even begin to imagine how Messi is even eight kilometers (or is it five miles? Depends on where you stay) close to Pele… And some people say he is better!

Ronaldo deservs to win ballon d’or..He is magical player & has maximum numbers of fans..I don’t think messi deserves ballon d’or….Ronaldo made great victories in Euro 2012 also..so ronaldo is great than Messi..

Certainly not level with, or better than, Pele.

I think Messi is absolutely magnificent. To be honest, I prefer Ronaldo anyway. But true brilliance must be appreciated. Messi is loads of quality better than Ronaldo in certain, not ALL, areas. And overall Messi has my vote for the best player of his decade, generation even. Ever? That’s pushing it!!!
But, and please before you argue take time to consider this, Messi is not so much better than Ronaldo – for example given the option between two Ronaldo’s and one Messi, no honest person would choose Messi. Two Ronaldo’s would totally destroy Messi! My point is, Messi is not so far better than Ronaldo to be twice the player Ronaldo is. And he is human. He is not perfect, nobody is. And before you slit my throat, Ballon d’Or is not about who is better, its about who deserves to be the player of the year. Ronaldo is way better in terms of raw skill… Messi just has a better way of refining and displaying it on the field.
Messi fans have to take a step back and judge impartially. They thought Messi PERFORMED better when Ronaldo scored more goals than Messi, broke the La Liga single season goals record, and the fastest one hundred goals in a single season record, and they still think he has performed better now. They think Messi has PERFORMED better than Pele ever did.
Think outside the box, and then you’ll realize that Messi is great, a legend. But not as good as you think

CR 7 WILL SURELY WIN

Of course Messi. Aftar watching what he has done in previous games, it must be Messi. Even the phenomenon Ronaldo has praised him. Messi’s performance shows everything. He can score goals, make other score, he can change the games condition. Aftar watchin his international performance, nobody can say him crap. He is still improving day by day. So he deserves ballon d’or.

Messi wil win it again

Fuck Messi. Ronaldo is better and will always be better. This article says it all. Messi fantastic? Only with Barcelona because with Argentina his crap. Don’t let tv shows fool.

Messi deserves it.

barcelona coach should be worn to not to come and spoiled the grate team Pep Guadiola builded before he left with the wrong sellections he has been doing.

Lionel messi deserve the ballon d’or because he is fantastic.

i think LIONel messi should be the one to grace it no one lyk messi

A little subjective towards the end there, Umar, but very good facts to prove your point.

For the sake of football’s well being, one player can’t win it every year.

Messi didn’t score a single goal in both the last world cup and copa america, and in the latter he was up against the might of Bolivia and Mexico’s u23 b team, this award is a popularity contest for strikers, the fact that Messi has more awards in his career than someone like Baresi or Cafu, is probably the reason why sooner or later football will be a sport played in an handful of countries (and mostly with a ball in your hands and shoulder pads).

First of all, i will start frm records. In d history of football CR7 was d ONLY player to score against each team in a league, he help his club (madrid) to set a record of goals, he help his club to won d league with 100 points dat no club has done b4, he went to euro and droped in semi. About assist as a player both of them has two legs (CR7 & messi) but one leg of messi is iniesta and the other one is xavi without them he IS nothing or can HE go to any club and succed the way he is doing at barca. Unlike ronaldo dat used tO shoot frm any angle and he belive on his own dat IS why he liv man u for real madrid. Finally ladies and gentle men, in the history of football nobody have won world best footballer of the year without winning your league or champions league. Am 100% sure that RONALDO WILL WIN THE AWARD, BCOS HE IS THE god OF SOCCER. HALLA MADRID (07068483628)

only messi should & must win ballon d or for the sake of football wwell being

Cristiano Ronaldo is d better player, come 2 tink of it, messi hav xavi nd iniesta playin wit him in d same club dis ar d best mid-fider’s in d world. If Ronaldo hav does dude wit him in madrid he wil score 100 goals in a single season. messi can nt do without xavi nd iniesta

messi should win he was better. he does everything

I think cr7 deserves it…..
For sure
His performance is really very Gud

Well, here I have nothing else to say. The matter’s been closed, Iniesta won it if I remember right. Anything after this is worthless “what if?” scenarios if I do remember right.

my good friends don cloud and brad! Long time old chums. Without doubt messi is the best offensive player without doubt. Ronaldo did win a trophy but if truth be told i’m more convinced that iker cassilas deserves this award as e days go by. As captain of both spain and madrid i believe he has been instrumental to both in their pursuit of silverware. Back to back euros and a world cup sandwiched in between! Messi and ronaldo can duel next time. Give this year’s award to a true legend Cassilas

Hey Mardon, praise me for such a big paragraph for you & mighty Messi, and i surely don’t get paid for. you should at least appreciate this as i helped u get relaxed for a day or two from the clutches of Brad & Cloud. As commenting and proving Messi against Brad and Cloud might have came up for u as Pain in the A** for sure, i know it..

Brd & Cld i was no where but sat back and was reading & enjoying your so-called expertise and debates wid that Mrdn guy. Never forget that Eye in the Sky always watches you both, and that is non other than Don’s eye. Now you guys should i think change the topic of CR7 and should concentrate on the rest of the football world, which also is. And also ultimately giving rest to Mrdn & that he can at least sleep for some needed hours….

I think owners of this site much concentrate on both of yours paragraphs and start paying you if they are not, coz sometimes i think this site would break down without your comments, and fifa should i think decide for the best players award reading comments on this site, coz even CR7 or Messi might not be worrying for their selections as I, Brad, Cloud & now a days Mardon also are worried of…..

But still lot lot of love from Don to all the people who have stressed their fingers on key boards in order to prove their favorites, i can only say take care of you and may god bless us all.

Hey but that doesn’t means its a white flag btwn, coz winner is only & only Messi, remember that for sure……. HO HO HO HO HO HO!!!

it should be CR7 surely without any doubts.
He is a great performer on big ocations ,he had scored against barca on last 5 matche unlike messi who had scored just twice and that too through panelty

.. thanks for the ice breaker don. hahaha. that made me laugh so hard. hahaha

ronaldo has no size therefore these tym around he takes it with de world best big ups to him

ron all de way

Ballon d’Or is about a player, not about a team. I believe CR7 should win it, not because he scored less goals than Messi, but because he helped his team to win the La Liga, and he did that with more assists than Messi. So Messi might have scored more goals than CR7, but CR7 made more assists.

hmph, I wondered where he got off to. . . haha

Hey guyz stop stop stop! I m back and my special hello to my buddy Mardon. second but first thing from where do this another Don came from, and praising junk like CR7 by my name, hmm! I sure do believe its non sense from Cloud or Brad, and if not than here u red girly don, its always about ‘Black’ and its me. Hey still brad and Cloud busy proving CR7 better then mighty Messi, i m sure they have some private battle going on….
Mardon if u’ll keep convincing this two rats they’ll never believe you and in fact they didn’t want to. These guys are like dogs tails, ‘u keep’em in pipe for years and when u pull out, that again goes round and round and round’. By the way papa’s back cloudy and brady, the so-called CR7 advertisers, i know responding to you gives you importance and level up as u both don’t have any.
Mardon let me tell you these brats are always wanting to keep the lines of Messi’s achievements behind any comparable player to him and always in try to upgrade CR7, i don’t know whether they are paid. But lets talk some facts why no body talks for spanish performance in olympics where the spainiards looked so ordinary without messi, hardly finding nets and successes. Ok! leave it they’ll never say why CR7 didn’t won the best european award where as they’ll keep comparing messi with his own team mates, so that you or me never focus on biggest flop, CR7. I openly say no iniesta or Xavi is even nearer to Messi’s standards and especially no CR7 who actually copied name of the legend Ronaldo(Brazil) but remember stupids no name makes or produces legends unless its destiny and the world knows, it lies beneath the foots of Messi. speaking of 70 goals doesn’t matter to u, u surely are some cricket fans who think scores are made in running between wickets and legacy of scoring in football and numbers like 70 are of none worthy to you, it simply makes me laugh when u include silverware. U hammer heads this is in fact an individual performer award which proves a player superior(Messi) and inferior(CR7), and put any present silverware up in your A**. And Sameera u might be loving CR7 for his looks but bebe come lez hook up, i can make experiences much much wilder, believe me!
In short Ladies and Gentlemen, the award for Ballon D’or goes to the all time footballer, the history of soccer has ever seen, hold your breath its none other than mighty mighty Mr. Leonel Messi.
james pidd, justme, oybek, messi10, bizzy, rocco, blaugrana, danny all my buddies, my warm hello to you and don’t worry at all as we are definitely winning on this and this pimps will always cry as this is also a destiny… HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA…….

mardon, here’s proof of your selective reading, the statement i’m trying to remind you of is this:::

“both Iniesta and Xavi were sensational in Barca and was even more with their country. But they give it to Messi instead, stupid injustice.”

.. i clearly stated there that either Iniesta nor Xavi deserved it better. now that Iniesta has one the Euro Player of the Year, things have finally gone their ( spaniards ) way. And that is proof enough that the 70 goals of Messi don’t mean anything. I’m glad that they gave Iniesta the individual award that he deserves. He was robbed last 2010 WC.
