I'm a Cristiano Ronaldo's fan but when it comes to football braggings about Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel who to me are the best two players who's ever graced the beautiful round leather, I'm always not sentimental with my opinions.
Lionel Messi helped his country lift the FIFA World Cup last year December after the fifth time of trying. He wasn't just any random member of the Argentina squad that won the WC trophy but was the best player of the tournament and that's why I think he deserves the Balon D'or award he got on Monday. As far as football is concerned I can't say there's anyone among them who's better because they're have their different football records and moments.
You're correct but what happened to the name Angel Di Maria? He was also a vital player and of the FIFA World Cup Competition Win for Argentina. Against France, during the finals, he was the key to the first tow goal but his importance and contributions are not being talked about. I guess he was not even part of the list of players nominated for the Ballon d'or.
That said, Lionel Messi is an exceptional player, Dutch legend Hendrick Yohan Cruyff former player and manager made the prediction of how he will win the most Ballon d'ors and here he is doing as predicted even if this seems rigged or biased.
Congratulations to him once again. He deserves it!
