Ballon d'Or

Postby AG7 » Mon Jan 13, 2014 12:09 pm

Ballon d'Or is today ...

... and LIVE on British EuroSport HD (Sky 410) and British EuroSport (Sky 412) starting at 5:30pm ...


The Big Question
Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Franck Ribery?

The Bigger Question
Purple Nose, Jupp Heynckes or Jurgen Klopp?

That' seems to be the big debate with the award this year. Does team success play a part in deciding an award for individual performance.

I don't think so. Yes, Ribery won trophies, but that was team success. It's like giving an Oscar for best actor to a film which won every other award, just because of that.

I think Ribery was pretty instrumental in that team success

And the Oscar example is how it typically works in the movie biz, so it's a poor argument.

Ribery driving a team to those heights vs Tranny being just the flat out amazing player he can be? Interesting to see how it pans out, but for me it's Ribery in a cake walk.
