Most likely Ronaldo but Neuer would be an interesting choice.

How is Ronaldo most likely?
1. Messi is a way more complete player, has greater football vision
2. Carries his club
3. As OP stated, breaks records for a living

Edit: Apologies for DP

Messi called FIFA and told them his cabinet for holding trophies is full. They can give the Ballon d'Or to someone else.

No Serie A or PL representation shows it is just an award for the Mickey Mouse leagues. I am surprised a MLS player isn't in the final 3

 

[faridmon]

In a perfect world, Zlatan would have won it.

But Ronaldo have been fantastic last year. A goal scoring machine like no other and helped Real Madrid to win the CL.

He should win it.

 

[EPaul]

Ronaldo by default he's been the best player in the world for two years now

 

[JoeNut]

Surely ronaldo

 

[jrush64]

Neuer is probably gonna win because Germany won the World Cup.

 

[Blablurn]

Since Ronaldo is a worldwide brand, he will get all dem votes from Africa, South East Asia and America. Unfortunately Neuer doesn't have that lobby.

 

[Pachimari]

Cristiano deserves this award. He were simply the best. Just like the year before.

 

[Bold One]

Ronaldo's got this

lol at Neuer votes

 

[Kezen]

Neuer deserves it more than CR7 or Messi and he won't win unfortunately.

Typical german premature whining I'm reading all across german media. It's as if Africa South East Asia and America had no TV available to watch the World Cup 2014.
Neuer was probably the stand-out german player during the tournament next to Klose scoring his historic 16th WC-goal.

 

[jts]

What's funny is that Messi would have a pretty good chance of winning a pure Ronaldo vs Messi voting. Neuer takes away just enough votes but not enough for himself to win.

 

[Don'tBeWeird]

Ronaldo. Best player of all time.

 

[Can Crusher]

What's funny is that Messi would have a pretty good chance of winning a pure Ronaldo vs Messi voting. Neuer takes away just enough votes but not enough for himself to win.

It's funny because the only reason Neuer gets votes is because there's no argument to be made for Messi and therefore it becomes a bit embarrassing. But Neuer? We can gimmick the shit out of this.

 

[jorma]

They should have chosen a player from the Zlatan-tier instead.

He really wasn't.

 

[DerZuhälter]

He really wasn't.

Sure has hell wasn't any Döner-throwing Dortmund player...

 

[panty]

If Neuer wins, the FIFA is corrupted as fuck. He's one of the best goalies out there if not the best but cmon.

Ronaldo all the way.

 

[gutter_trash]

 

[Can Crusher]

He really wasn't.

It's funny ain't it?

Was he even the best GK in the tournament?

Keylor Navas: 3 time MoM. He was man of the match against England and Netherlands...

Manuel Neuer: 0 time MoM.

Hilarious.

 

[Perfect Blue]

Hopefully Messi.

 

[caesar]

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

Where the fuck is Totti?

1. Messi is a way more complete player, has greater football vision

I would argue that Ronaldo is a way more complete player, actually. He can shoot with both feet (his 'weaker foot' is still better than most people's stronger foot), is fantastic in the air, physically stronger, taller. It's hard to find any weakness to his game.

Having said that, Messi and Ronaldo (and Robben, imo) are so far ahead of any other player that it doesn't really matter which one of them has the edge over the other.

 

[Gurthang]

Simeone should win the manager of the year

 

[chancellor]

Neuer won the Golden gloves.

Don't blame Neuer because Germany's defense wasn't shit. That's the difference between him and GKs like Navas. He makes the entire defense better instead of having to bust ass to bail them out.

 

[gutter_trash]

People forget that it's about the best of that year.

Messi was not at his best last year.

While Cristiano played really well while plagued with leg injuries. Still leading his team to win the Champions League

 

[rawd]

No brainer this year

 

[feel]

Don't a bunch of managers vote for this? I can't see Neuer winning, they usually hate crazy keepers.

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

Hopefully Neuer bags the award.

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

Neuer would be my choice. But Ronaldo will win. I mean he can score 4 goals against Levante or whatever but sucked in all important games last year. Totally awesome that guy. Without Sergio Ramos's 90th plus minute equaliser, Real Madrid would have lost the CL final

[DrM]

That one with erected statue

He did alright against Bayern.

His joke went way over your head, m8.

Just like most of Ronaldo's free kicks

 

[Reclaimer.]

Lol Ronaldo gets all the questions, and when Messi is asked a question it's about Ronaldo

:lol

 

[Marc]

Hope Neuer wins, the salty tears will save football.

No, we don't count people who played in shitty leagues against pub defenders as GOATs.

Pub defenders? His generation had some of the best defenders in history and goalkeepers for that matter. And this is when not only they were two footed and skilful but were allowed to kick the shit out of you. Santos played European teams and these pub league players seemed to do just fine every time. Somehow the pub league players kept winning the world cup.

Compare that to the defenders of this generation? Who are the best CB's currently? Christ.

 

[chancellor]

Don't a bunch of managers vote for this? I can't see Neuer winning, they usually hate crazy keepers.

The voting is done by the managers of every national team, the captain of every national team and one journalist from every FIFA country. The votes are also published so you can see who voted for who which is normally an interesting read.

 

[Firemind]

Who are the best CB's currently? Christ.

David Luiz sold for a RECORD-BREAKING 50 million pounds.

 

[ekka4shiki]

I would like to see a goalkeeper take the award this year, so Neuer.

Anyone but penaldo

The dearth in good defenders is so bad right now, this whole generation is woeful. Can't understand how this lot get compared so favourably to players like in the 60's when there was talent galore.
