Who should win the Balon d'Or?

http://www.fifa.com/ballondor/index.html

Out of the three finalists, who would you give the Balon d'Or to and why?

It should clearly be Messi...but seeing as how he Robbed Xavi back in '09 it would be nice for Xavi to deceive him now

Ronaldo obv

It's obvious it's Ronaldo.

Judging by the classico alone it should be iniesta, but obviously its Messi

Messi by some distance. Has been the best player on the planet since 08.

Meh, Ronaldo should obviously win this as he showcased in the clasico

Ronaldo :dance: .

Why you ask obvious. its ronaldo of course

Ronaldo for his heading + shot accuracy when it matters most

Messi easily.

Nah Messi should tbh

Give it to Xavi for his pain and suffering

Ronaldo, and I'm not kidding. A bad game doesnt define a whole year, and he had plenty of good games, and I'm pretty mad that even some Real Madrid fans have forgotten that.

Beating the pichichi record is something not even the mighty messi has achieved yet, despite having better players assisting him.

Yeah he had plenty of good games against relegation fodder. Yet disappears against the top teams.

your logic

The only person should win it.

So you dont remember the other, let me count.. 6 games he played against Barca in 2011 where he scored 3 goals? You think I'll concede that Ronaldo always plays bad against Barca? That's not a fact. He has had good games against Barca, you should remember that. Actually, this was the first game were he was actually bad against them, he had an awfull game, I dont deny that.

Your logic is much worse than mine, but I'm not surprised at all, your nickname shows the kind of guy/poster you are.

Btw, you Barca fans are quick to forget how much you got helped by the referee in those 6 games.

I just saw you criticizing Khaled for not having "good football knowledge" and accusing him of being biased. RM fan being a hypocrite, big surprise

Also remind me what game he played well vs Barca? He scored a penalty that he didn't win and scored a tap in after a deflection. His header was great but the fact that he can only show his ability vs barca that one time just proves my point

Anyone but Ronaldo.

Xavi deserves a late one, but it's obvious that talent wise no one comes close to La Pulga.

I'd love to see Xavi take it but no one's denying Leo his third. But, Xavi will still go down as a true great so I dont feel totally deceived. Two Ballon d'Or top 3 nominations is more than many could say. But who knows, we may see a shocker.

i am a madrid fan, but after i watched el classico, i found that ronaldo shouldn't be in the list even, iniesta is the one to choose. a big player is a player who shows quality in every game, especially in the big ones. i think messi should not be the winner too, he is nothing with the national team, so i guess xavi is the one who should win it, but obviously messi will

I agree but do you think that Messi's club form overshadows his overall career? Whether he can become the GOAT due to his overall NT performances is another argument, but ATM I think Messi's sublime club form can give him the room to slack a bit with his NT (which he's pretty much been doing) and still be expected to win.
