Yes, Iniesta or Xavi should've won in 2010 instead of Messi
As it stands it would be funny if Vicinius won over Bellingham. But there's still Euro's, Copa America, Olympics and MLS to play.

Re: Vinicius Jr signs for Madrid
Vini has been our most important player this season. Bellingham had a huge first half of the season. Not much to write home about in the second half of the season. Vini started the season well, got injured, came back started to get going then got injured again. Look at the trophies we've won, Vini's finger prints are all over them. Our whole team including Bellingham are backing Vini. Only those that have something against him don't think he deserves it.Vibe wrote:I think Bellingham should win it over Vini without a single doubt, but people in football have short memories, so NT season will probably decide.

I have always supported Vini but I believe Bellingham is the one 100%. His clutch goals in the first half of the season set Madrid up for all the success they have achieved later. Towards the end Vini was more influential, but Bellingham's role changed entirely.
Only reason Vini seems ahead now is the recency bias.

Re: Vinicius Jr signs for Madrid
Bellingham's role has not changed when we have the ball. In fact he could influence the game more if he didn't obsess about scoring. He is going to play alot better next season when he resigns to letting Vini and Mbappe do the scoring.Vibe wrote:halamadrid2 wrote:Only those that have something against him don't think he deserves it.

Vini was our best player in CL and the Super Cup, was also one of our best players in the league despite missing 2 months through injury and at least another month while gaining match fitness. Bellingham was clutch in the first half of the season, no doubt and the LL player of the season reflects that
Vini is the CL player of the season and Super Cup MVP
I don't get how anyone can argue that he doesn't deserve his balon d'or

Yes it was one the closest B'dor in terms of % of votes within the top 3 spots. Fine margins, all 3 of them deserved it.

Haaland was robbed last season let's face it. Lewa was robbed by Covid. Iniesta by Messi, Ribery by Ronaldo etc
I remember a few seasons ago when Ronaldo or Messi were winning balon d'or eventhough they went trophyless just because they scored 50/60 goals in the league. Complete robberies.
The balon d'or from now will actually go to the best player in the best team in Europe for that season rather than to the name.
If they could give it to players that don't score but do the heavy lifting for the team that would be great. Valvede for example had just as good league campaign as our best ones but has never got any recognition. I don't like that!

If Balon d'or was about overall contribution to team play regardless of trophies or g/a then Messi should win every season because nobody comes close to his impact on the game individually speaking.

Why though, just ask yourself. who was more decisive when the team needed it? this CL title would not have been possible without Vinicius.

You mean his impact in getting Barca slapped by any European team and going all quiet in the dressing room when they needed a captain.Myesyats wrote:halamadrid2 wrote:quality > quantityMyesyats wrote:

Sure, he made the LaLiga journeymen look like Sunday league players but against RM (in the later years) and CL he had 0 impact.
In fact until Fifa made sure he got his WC gold his NT career was quite underwhelming too. 0 impact despite having a stacked Argentina team. Will never forget them having multiple CA year after year so that Messi could finally win one. Embarrassing
Messi should not have won his last two balon dors at all

I don't like getting too involved with the balon d'or talk, but I can never agree with this. I just look at it as a time when people who would consider themselves 'purists' felt it wasn't cool to talk about messi since those who they considered 'casuals' were hyped about him as well as Cristiano. There was never a season where xavi and iniesta did anything that would have made me put them on the same table as Messi. And that's very easy for me to decipher since they were team mates.
Even Spain's renaissance, I've gone on record saying it doesn't happen without Villa. Messi and Cristiano just put up such numbers, purists decided they wanted to appreciate the midfield generals a little more. I don't think Sneijder was robbed either. Unpopular opinion, I actually think, Milito was Inter's best player that year.
But he scored ugly-ish goals, wasn't making passes in midfield and pointing at teammates directing them where they should be (a lot of fans seem to be enamored by that), and was at least from an attacking standpoint was the antithesis of everything the 'purists' love and stand for, so he got no love.

Xavi and Iniesta divided the vote between them. Had one of them been clearly better than the other they would've gathered all the "let's recognize Spain for winning their first WC" voters and pulled ahead.

Re: Vinicius Jr signs for Madrid
In all honesty, up to this point in time the most objective has to be Vini winning it on the football side. Dunno if the antics will have any effect, is not than him, otherwise some might side with Bellingham cos of his cleaner overall image than the former.
But this is Euro yr so if Bellingham wins that it will tilt it toward him even more, than if Mbappe wins it while performing amazingly who knows. If not, wont be surprised if Vini does win it... pretty amazing come to think of it... from headless chicken in like 3 yrs to Ballon D'or winner?

Halaand wasn't robbed. Bdor is all about narrative. Stat padding against scrubs i the pl and doing nothing in semi finals and finals messed him up. Also the WC trumps everything.
As for the BDo in 2010, Xavi and Iniesta were not robbed. Had the award been the Ballon Dor and not the FIFA Ballon Dor, Sneijder would have won. He got the most weighted journalist votes. The rest is heresay.
Messi and Ronaldo benefitted from the award being combined with Fifa. Modric would never have won it if it was the FIFA Bdo.
Vini should win it now. He has the narrative, scored in the final, had the flashy moments etc

The only thing I can see happening is if Mbappe has an outstanding Euros then kills it at the start of his Madrid career. Some people are saying Kroos should win it if Germany win the Euros but I can't see it tbh.
Only other person is Harry Kane of the top of my head.

Re: Vinicius Jr signs for Madrid
It's unfortunate for Haaland because he had his own good story as he helped City win their first CL, and broke numerous records along the way. In any other year he would've won it. It's also not like his Ballon d'or was skewed by player/coach voting the way it was between 2010-2015. Anyways, it was clear to anyone but Ronaldo fanboys that the Ballon d'or was going to Messi the moment Montiel scored his penalty.
