Ballon d’or Is a joke!
How does Mahrez get 10th and sterling gets 12th. 😱.

Mahrez starred for Algeria in their African Nations Cup victory, Longthing76.

I know these awards tend to mean very little, but for us to have 4 of the top 7 / 6 of the top 20 would have been unthinkable just a couple of years ago.
Shows just how far the club have come in such a short space of time.

Very strange. How is kdb 14th? Ahead of mahrez? I know he was good in anc. Surprised not to see Henderson in the full list tbh. Hopefully being behind mane will humble salah a bit. Good to see a lot of our boys on there. Surprised robbo wasn't there too. Bobby 17th best player in the world and he's a cf who doesn't score much! Just shows how important he is. He's better than mane and salah and I bet they both know it.

Fair play to Messi though. He is unreal.

Mahrez was instrumental to Algeria winning the AFCON for the first time in near 3 decades. KDB and Sterling won domestic trophies (KDB was injured for near all of last season) which don't count that much as far as FIFA is concerned. FIFA don't care about domestic success hence IMO, Mahrez was better rated.

Same happened with Pep when he was snubbed as the best manager of the year in fav. of Klopp. Klopp won the biggest prize in club football. Pepe won a domestic treble. Not the same standard.

Yeah Redwolf it's always been like that and considering the voting structure it's expected. That's why Robertson didn't make it but wijnaldum and Trent were. No everyone watches us each weekend but the likes of Trent and wijnaldum had more WOW moments in champions league than Robbo. Many votes from Africa or elsewhere would have been based on mahrez performing in what was a main international cup in a year without the world cup or euro's. It would be impossible to try to find a perfect way to judge when comparing different domestic leagues to each other accurately.
