Why NOBODY Deserves The Ballon d'Or..

why nobody deserves the 2024 bendor it's official there will be no winner for the 2024 ballondor apart from the changes in the Champions League and World Cup format something far more profound has changed in the game forever there is no longer a world's best football player sounds crazy right well it's all thanks to the two most insane footballers of all time who have turned even the brightest football stars into mere mortals think about it scoring 91 goals in a calendar year metting more goals than games played leading your team to backto backto back champions league

triumphs these Feats were Unthinkable until these aliens graced our planet you know who they already are Ronaldo and Messi redefined how to be the best and as their careers gradually wind up the excitement of who wins the Bal andur seems to be winding up too because come to think of it who deserves to win this year's award after the Euro you might say it's Harry Kane for sure no that's a joke give us a subscribe if you have the same amount of trophies that Kane has helps us out a lot but on a more serious

note even the media's favorite to win the bendor venicius Jr did not perform better than Kane who scored 44 goals for Bayern last season however Kane won't be on the list because of his poor outing at the euros and his trophyless season at Bayern Munich no silverware no bendor venicius Jr played incredibly well for Real Madrid last season scoring 24 goals and providing 11 assists his season was even better because he won the La Liga and the champions league and everyone thinks he is the man for this year's bendor Ronaldo of Brazil described him as

the best player in the world by far and the legendary raldo said his performance at Real Madrid was enough to crown him as the world's best player compared with other players he could have easily won the Bal Andor but what happened at the Copa America might have reduced his chances he was just a runner in the national team with almost no result things looked good for him after he scored two goals against Paraguay in Brazil's second group game of the Copa America but rather than adding goals to his tally he accumulated enough yellow cards to

keep him out of the quarterfinals clash with Uruguay the arguably world's best player left the competition with only two goals if venicius Jr wins the balandor with his 24 goals for Real Madrid the organizers might have to present another copy of the award to Suarez who scored 59 goals in the 20 5 2016 season and apologize to Prime Robert levandowski who scored 53 goals in 2020 before the award was cancelled because of the Corona virus pandemic did you know that during Ronaldo's worst scoring season at Real Madrid he scored 33 goals in 35 matches so

it's safe to say venius might win the prestigious Award with a form not as good as Ronaldo's worst form at Real Madrid don't get this wrong Manus deserves to be on this list because he is's an incredible player but that is only possible because of the absence of the goats this is also the reason Tony Cruz is on the list because whatever he did this season he had done in his entire career but no one noticed because the bar set by the two aliens was too high he looked like an average player he was Germany's

key player in the 2014 World Cup and was voted man of the match in the 7-1 demolition of Brazil in the semi-finals before helping his country win the World Cup after beating Argentina in the final according to FIFA's Castro index he was statistically the best player of the tournament he was a true German machine who carried the national team on his back that would have been the perfect year to become the world's best player but he came ninth in the bendor because the goats were still around and other exceptional players even did better that season

with Ronaldo and Messi leaving the stage this year's award would have been his but there's a problem he left the Euros too early don't get this wrong Cruz's performance was world class Germany's elimination was not his fault he completed 101 of his 102 passes in The Opening match against Scotland he was the Midfield General till the heartbreaking elimination by Spain in the quarterfinals winning the Euro with Germany would have placed him above other Real Madrid stars who won the Champions League maybe that would have made him the undisputable favorite Cruz might be an exceptional player

but the results behind his perfect passes are not so visible for club and Country he scored only one goal all season and recorded 10 assists if his passes were so important he ought to have created more assists but like fabrega asked there are all these stats nowadays 100% pass completion but show me the clips of their passing are they passing to a center back a close midfielder or are they splitting the lines and making things happen that sounds more like Tony Cruz who often passes the ball to the nearest man and seldom breaks the lines

of create a chance Cruz's passes might be accurate but they are no threats to the opposition during the 201829 season Trent Alexander Arnold a Defender recorded 15 assists for Liverpool Cruz a midfielder who is on the line for this year's balandor struggled to get 10 assists the passes might be accurate but the results fall short of a world's best player but every possibility is a possibility because unlike previous years no player truly deserves the award this year assists like this one he gave to venius in the Champions League semi-final and his distinctive accurac seeing passes

might still get him to the top spot his retirement would not affect his chances since the one year for the award is no longer counted from January to December imagine coming from retirement to win football's most prestigious award sounds like a retired employee winning the best employee award let's wait and see what happens but Jude bellingham's fiery performance at the Euros might prevent that possibility the 21-year-old was a top Contender for this year's bendor even before the euros and he boosted his chances even more with his top-notch performance at the just completed tournament scoring an

overhead kick against Slovakia and getting an assist in the final is the tip of the iceberg of what he did in Germany this left- footed shot in the final was just inches away from becoming the tournament's best goal in an English team that takes pleasure in boring Games Bellingham has always found a way to make his game beautiful not winning the Euro might have reduced his odds but not significantly some football analysts have even placed him ahead of Venia junor for this year's award his performance at Real Madrid was impressive for such a youngster he

scored 23 goals only one behind Venus Jr and got 12 assists one more than the Brazilian the two players had 35 goal contributions each for Real Madrid like venicius who scored two goals in the Copa America he also scored two goals in the Euros so the two players are technically at the same level if one deserves to Bal Ure the other deserves it too the only factor that might Place Venia junor ahead of Bellingham is the englishman's inconsistency although he managed to score 14 goals in his first 15 matches for real mrid things changed in

December and he couldn't find the back of the net from open play in the next two months he's been described as a passenger in the second phase of the Champions League because of his goal drought but in his defense some argued that he was not a forward in the first place but a midfielder 10 years ago Venus and Bellingham would have been struggling for probably the ninth and 10th position but being the best is no longer as difficult as it used to be the Real Madrid stars are now like students who want to come first

in the class with an average score of 50 but without counting the goals and assists a real Madrid Defender who won almost everything last season might be going home with the award Danny Carvajal scored six goals for Real Madrid last season but his most important goal came in the Champions League final it was his only goal of the campaign and a crucial one for the club's Victory nobody thought of him winning the Bal Andor until the Euros when he delivered another ageless performance he scored his first International goal at 32 against Croatia and went on

to win the competition proudly got a red card in the quarterfinal clash with Germany but that was not enough to erase his name from the list of balandor contenders however missing the crucial semi-final Clash against France makes him less of a perfect candidate if you're wondering if a scorer of seven goals can win the Bal Andor remember that Fabio canavaro won it in 200 without scoring a single goal a Defender who did his job well enough can also win the award Carvajal did a good job last season and even added a bonus by scoring goals

let's see if he would be the fourth Defender to win the balandor seeing Carvajal win the ballondor when Defenders like Sergio Ramos and Carlos pulo never got a chance sounds like cheating but these two played at a time when the men at the front made it impossible for Defenders to win individual Awards if Carvajal wins the Bal Andor it would be a shock for him just like it would be for the rest of us but that is how the game has become there's no longer an obvious best player deserving of the award but this list

would be incomplete without the mention of the silent worker who lost only one game in 80 matches and won the best player at the Euro a few months ago Rog was not one of the contenders for the ballondor but after his performance at the Euros there is no way his name can be excluded from the list Spain's coach Luis De lafuente described him as a perfect computer for his metronomic passing and ability to read the game that is how best to describe the spaniard's performance because since 2023 Roder was undefeated in 74 games and only

lost for the first time in his 75th match which was the FA Cup Final against Manchester United with the national team he didn't lose a single match in more than 500 Days Manchester City in Spain only lost matches when he wasn't playing although he won the Premier League an elimination by Real Madrid the Champions League quarterfinals meant Rog did not do enough to win the balandor but his performance at the Euro somehow catapulted him to the top three but should he be in the top three with only eight goals and nine assists for Manchester City

and one goal and two assists for Spain sounds too little for the top it's not even up to mesud oil's 28 goals contribution in the 2015 2016 season and his name still is missing in the top 30 players nominated for the balandor rrey is an exceptional player no doubt but could it be that the teams he played for are the reason for his perceived incredible form very likely Manchester City would have won the Premier League without Roger and without him Spain still might have won the Euro that was evident when he got injured at halftime

in the final match against England the team played like rre was not missing Spain's two goals came only after rre left the game he might be the best player in the competition and an exceptional player for the English Club but his performance seems to be exaggerated because of his team's performance if you are still here please say in the comments if Roder should be among the top contenders for the balandor while the uro and cop America added new names to the list of ballondor contenders the competitions have also erased some names like Killian mbappe before

the Euros the French Captain scored 44 goals in all competitions and won the French cup and the French league he was the Champions League's top scorer alongside Harry Kane with eight goals if the award was given based on the number of goals scored in a season mbappe and Kane would have gone to take the trophy before an official announcement the French Captain was among the favorites to win the award and everyone thought he would drop a world class performance at the Euro like he did at the World Cup the best he did was score a

penalty goal against Poland in the group stage and blow up a chance to take his team to extra time during the match against Spain mbappe was allowed to give a verdict on his performance at the euros and he described it as a failure his injury might have contributed to his woeful full performance but the voters for the ballondor won't care about that can a man whose performance is a failure still win the ballondor it's almost impossible and that is why it's safe to say the Euro has erased mbappe's name from the list while the Euro

erased mbappe's name from the list it added the name of lamin yamal the Spanish teenager who took his school assignments to the Euros those assignments couldn't prevent a world-class performance and the goal of the tournament against France in the semi-finals his odds for the 2024 bendor seem to have increased significantly and he is among the top 10 players already but his probability of winning the ballondor is at the bottom because of Barcelona's poor outing in the La Liga and the Champions League they ended second in the league with 10 points behind Real Madrid the young

balandor Contender scored only seven goals last season that sounds like the number of goals Sergio Ramos and John Terry would scor in his season and they won't be among the top 20 world best players yamal a forward needs to score more goals than Defenders before he could grab a hold of the balandor he's a talent to watch no doubt but if this was 10 years ago Jamal's name would have been far from the contenders for the award he is not the favorite but having his name on the list with his minimal goal contributions shows how

much football has changed there's no longer a debate on who the best among the best is but a discussion of who is the best among the average players but there is this player who is arguably more than average scored more goals than Venus and even reached the final of the Euros some have insisted that he can win this year's bendor Bill foden had an incredible season season for Manchester City scoring 19 goals and having 12 assists without his contribution City wouldn't have won the Premier League but with every other possible bendor winner there are reasons

foden is still not fit to win the award although he scored five goals and got three assists in the Champions League his team crashed out in the quarterfinal and also lost the FA Cup to Manchester United he had the euro to position himself at the top but his outing was a disaster the Premier League's best player played like an amateur he started all seven matches played 622 minutes and could not record a goal or an assist for England The Three Lions relied on regular substitute Cole Palmer for crucial assist and an important goal in the

final although foden deserves to be on the list because of his club's performance his performance in the Euros might have robbed him of a chance to win the balandor if the Premier League's best player can't win the ballondor then the Premier League's top scorer can't either because that one couldn't help his country qualify for the Euros Holland scored 38 goals and six assists for Manchester City in all competitions if there were no Euro this year Holland would have easily clinched a nomination but when teams like Slovakia were qualifying for the Euros Norway couldn't even survive

the qualifiers Holland is arguably the best number nine in the world at the moment and might win the balandor in the future but he would have to wait for a year without an international competition because with Norway there is very little that can be achieved internationally maybe he could just switch his allegiance to a better footballing country like England no there it's a scarcity of trophies in Norway and England maybe Spain would be a better option lonel Messi finding his way into the list of this year's potential Bal Andor winners shows how scarce players are

for the award following Argentina's victory in the Copa America there have been side talks of Messi winning the balandor one more time Messi's inclusion was not based on his performance because he scored just one penalty goal in the competition in the final match he was also forced out of the field because of an ankle injury his name is being mentioned because of the long-standing tradition of nominating winners of major trophies for the award with Messi winning America's biggest football tournament it is difficult to resist the temptation of including his name but playing in MLS which

is not among the top leagues in the world might be the first disqualifying Factor even his goal tally is below average so far he scored 13 goals and 10 assists for Argentina and Inter Miami and his deteriorating form is there for all to see after winning every Trophy and every award the 37-year-old has nothing to prove and is uninterested in winning this year's balandor his inclusion sounds more like a formality maybe if Portugal had won the Euro Cristiano Ronaldo would have been on the list especially after scoring 44 goals last season for Al Nar but

instead of including Messi who is struggling in MLS and had a rocky performance in the Copa America it would be better to nominate another Argentine who played better football scored more goals and won two golden boots Laro Martinez had an incredible season with Inter Milan scoring 27 goals and 44 appearances across all competitions but unlike the previous season when he played in the final his team crashed out of the Champions League in the round of 16 Martinez should have been a strong Contender for the balandor if he had a better outing in the Champions League

he redeemed himself with an excellent display at the Copa America with Messi not in his best form Martinez scored the needed goals for Argentina to win the tournament safe to say his role at the Copa America was equivalent to Messi's role in the World Cup his five goals earned him the tournament's Golden Boot if you think Martinez's outstanding performance is worth the Bal endure don't forget that mirav close won the World Cup and bundesliga's golden boots in 2006 but came seventh in the bendor the game of soccer has changed drastically and there is a sharp

decline on how to be the best player players like did Drogba tiar onri lisis Suarez Iniesta Chavi Ibrahimovic Neymar levandowski and Sergio Ramos would have easily won the Bal Ur if they were still at their Peak somehow football was unfair to them because they played at a time when Messi and Ronaldo were also at their peaks whoever wins this year's bendor would be extremely grateful because 5 years ago he wouldn't be close to winning it who among these players should win this here's bendor please don't leave without mentioning his name in the comments
