Was the World Cup in some other year?

It was a month long tournament.

That shouldn't be enough to win you a world player of the year award. What he achieved in La Liga last season, this season and in last seasons Champions League is what will win it for him.

yes. That goal wasn't even rewarded with goal of the year, because it was scored a few days after deadline

Holy fuck

It was a month long tournament.

A month long torunament where the team you're part of has little to do with your worth and mostly to do with where you were born....

Germany and Argentina have amazing squads.

 

[Banglish]

Ronaldo, obviously. If Messi wins, that's all politics.

 

[Renzoku]

As long as it's not Messi.

Messi sucks.

 

[Facism]

Messi should be winning the Tax Avoid'Or award.

 

[nelchaar]

What an awful OP..

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Most likely Ronaldo but Neuer would be an interesting choice.

 

[FootballFan]

#GiveTheBalloonToCattermole

Ronaldo will probably win but Messi is still GOAT. <3

 

[RangerX]

Ronaldo has this in the bag. He was absolutely stellar last year. I think Real madrid are currently the best team going, with chelsea not far behind.

 

[RandyBobandy]

Ronaldo easily

Though it should be Lahm imo

 

[feel]

Ronaldo haters just give no fucks about how they present themselves on the internet haha.


All 3 are great, not sure if my boy Ronaldo totally deserves it this year but I guess I also could say the same for the other 2, I hope he wins.

 

[B-Dubs]

Holy fuck

Yep, he's like Jesus only with better hair.

 

[slightconfuse]

Diego costa got this

* jazz hands*

 

[Pachimari]

How many hours until this starts guys?

[edit]
Oh, in 8 hours.

 

[immortal-joe]

Politically driven. Every. Fucking. Time.

Neuer is the safe choice in that sense, Messi being second due to being the darling for critics in the sport. Ronaldo got his second last year after being left in the cold, but he's NOT getting it this year, even though he was better in every way.

 

[Clydefrog]

Can someone please switch my vote to Neuer? I voted Ronaldo on accident.

 

[Hasney]

More interested in the Fallon d'Floor.

The only thing Leeds will win all year.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Neuer, that dude is like the rolemodel for a modern goalkeeper...

 

[Juz]

Penaldo got this.

 

[Assault]

Neuer is leaps and bounds above any goalkeeper on the planet, but Ronaldo has been sublime again this year, so my vote goes to him.

 

[Randam]

Really hope neuer wins it.
Shouldn't be just about number of scored goals.

 

[xenist]

Both Messi and Ronaldo are great but Neuer is redefining his position. He's literally playing a different game than his peers. Neuer is the only choice in my mind. Of course he's a goalkeeper so he won't get it. But he should.

 

[Milchmonster]

There really is no other choice than Franck Ribery.

 

[bjaelke]

Markovic should be in contention after his performance against Sunderland.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

What bullshti, where do I vote for Totti?

 

[Milchmonster]

What bullshti, where do I vote for Totti?

[R1CHO]

I don't know much about football but is Zlatan even that good?

He should be in the last tier of that picture.

 

[DeadlyVirus]

He's never in good shape when playing for Portugal. I have no joy in watching him play anymore.


Still, he deserves it.

Did you watch the playoff against Sweden? Not this year, but he was in pretty good shape...

 

[Big-E]

How does this work, the winner faces Zlatan in the final round?

Thats a good picture. Only thing I would change is move Bergkamp up and bring Zlatan down to GOAT.

 

[rostocker]

I hope to see that Messi again:

 

[Andrefpvs]

It's gotta be Ronaldo, although I'll also take Neuer.

Messi is one of the GOATs, but he wasn't the best this past year. Also, best player in the World Cup? My mind still can't process that.

 

[kmax]

I'm voting for Neuer.

 

[Blablurn]

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[CortexVortex]

Neuer deserves to win. He was the best player of the entire year and redefined modern

 

[neorej]

I'm voting for Neuer.

Same here. I want some goalie love, most under-appriciated position in the field.

Look at this.

Higuain; denied.

 

[Business]

Penaldo got this.

I'd bow to him if he collects the trophy while wearing a swimming cap.

 

[Can Crusher]

I bet everybody stops talking about neuer like they did rivery.

[Shanks D Zoro]

Where is Ozil?

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

Where is Ozil?

Same place he is in Arsenal games.

[bud]

Where is Ozil?

 

[Blablurn]

Where is Ozil?

One moment he is there

and in the next he is gone

 

[shikamaroooo]

How does this work, the winner faces Zlatan in the final round?

Yes!!! Love this pic

 

[TheAutomator]

I vote Neuer. Already one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Same place he is in Arsenal games.

so good

 

[BumRush]

Man, GAF futbol threads have the most salt...

 

[jts]

Just a word of warning, people shouldn't dish out opinions about football if you haven't visited the Football OT in the community forums.

You go there, you swear allegiance to Wilbur, and most everything should be alright. No promises though.

 

[Reclaimer.]

Robben should have been at the top 3 and should have won. Carried the Netherlands through the WC, one of the most important players for Bayern Münich.
