Ballon d'Or discussion and odds

[philiveyjr]

I think pretty much everyone unanimously agree that CR7 should pick up Ballon d'Or this time( Other than some Messi fans). He did have a great season but he couldnt make a sweep by winning the La Liga. If it was just about La Liga i'd have gone for Messi but since everything is involved I might have to go with CR7.

Well Ronaldo won. That was a very easy bet, too bad I didn't gamble any money. I heard that it was leaked for days before the event that Cristiano already won. I didn't trust this enough so I didn't risk it. I learned from last time with the Hillary vs Trump thing. Some people claimed Hillary already won and was rigged, we saw that "Madame President" stuff leaked magazine. All the odds were in favor of Hillary... then Trump won.


Could have happened the same with this, except this time odds and polls were right.

I don't often post on random things but this ballon d'or shit is pissing me off...ffs it's not a team award. You win La Liga you get a trophy. You win the Champions League you get a trophy. World Cup, Europa League...they're all their own reward for winning. That doesn't somehow make your contributions mean more...particularly when you consider that Messi has been to the finals of the past 3 major int'l tournaments (and only lost 2 of them on penalties.)  Oh...and all the lucky calls that hurt Barca and helped Real this year (a 21 point spread by conservative estimate) and still it came down to the final game.

 Anyone who's actually seen Messi and Ronaldo play this year knows there's no discussion...Ronaldo has become an amazing poacher, no doubt, but Messi continues to cut through defenses like they're all a bunch of AYSO brats. He's far and away the greatest player the game's ever seen, and we're lucky to be alive to see it. To give the ballon d'or to anyone else while he's still at the top of his game is to render the award a fucking joke.

That is all, thanks.

I'm a Liverpool fan & obviously I'd love either player in my team, Messi or Ronaldo. They're both absolutely world class but if Ronaldo wins the CL with Real Madrid then surely he will win the Ballon D'Or, he would have won the CL & La Liga where as Messi only won the Copa Del Rey.

I actually prefer Messi but CR7 will win it.

I smell a Madrid fan, we have not even started the next league season let alone in December but you have started your whining for balon do'r for cristiano Ronaldo. What did he do the entire season for his team? It's about time people start realizing that football is a collective sport and stop fighting for individual awards. What if Juventus wins the champions league and complete the treble? Don't they have a player worthy of the award? Come on

He also had a great season but he couldn't sweep by winning the Champions League. If it was just about the League I will be going to Real Madrid but because everything involved I might have to go with the CR7. to support them but they are the same the same thing

Cr7 will win 100% this year too:

-Victory of the Liga
-Vitcory of the Champion's League
-Top scorer in Champion's League with 12 goals

-5 goals scored in the quarter-finals against Bayern;  3 goals scored in semifinal against At.Madrid;  2 goals scored in final against Juventus.

he got everything this year but if we compare from the productivity of goals between Ronaldo and Messi in spanish league unfortunately Messi more better than him because Ronaldo only made 25 goals this season and if i'm not mistaken that Messi has did more goals with 37 goals

in 2017
absolutely cristiano ronaldo can win ballon d'or
leonel messi only get spain cup, cristiano ronaldo can win champion league and spanish league
ballon d'or not only created goal and assist, but say about trophy

[sergio red]

There is no way except Cristiano Ronaldo, only Buffon could be a strong contender if Juventus would win UCL, Ronaldo has made his field clearly without any further hasitation, so it can be predicted that, Cristiano Ronaldo will take another best personal reward in a row.

[joebrook]

i think they should just hand over the Ballon d'Or to Cristiano Ronaldo even without holding any elections, there has not been any clear winner for the title of Ballon d'Or than Ronaldo this season he single handedly carried Real Madrid to the title.

[michaelch]

I think Ronaldo will win this. His trophy haul and impact on his team is probably the best in the season just gone by, among all the players in the euro leagues.

What are the current best odds?

absolutely right, only Cristiano Ronaldo is the contender for winning Ballon d'Or in 2017, he has played fantastic football at the final stage both La Liga and Champions League, Real Madrid won double by his performance so Ronaldo will win in a row and for the fifth time...

there is no international event this years so maybe people will see from the achievement of every teams and here is the candidates for Ballon d'Or 2017

1. Cristiano Ronaldo
2. Sergio Ramos
3. Gianluigi Buffon
4. Lionel Messi
5. N'Golo Kante

if we see from all the contenders apparently Cristiano Ronaldo had good chance to get this Annual awards

For me, winner of the Ballon D'or will be Cristiano Ronaldo, 2 place should be hold Gianluigi Buffon, and the third place will go to Lionel Messi..
If Juventus​ would win the champion league then Buffon would have been the first choice for me...

Cristiano Ronaldo is poised to win every major European Trophy available this year but when it comes to second place, I think Gianluigi Buffon should get the award, he won every major trophy in Italy as well as eliminating Barcelona in the Champions League where they eventually placed second. By this alone he should be the second place winner if not for Sergio Ramos.

agreed with you that Ronaldo should be the winner because he did a good performance and good achievement on Real madrid however unfortunately Juventus didn't win champion league trophy because if they win might be Buffon will had good opportunity rather than Ronaldo

[Aneggeers]

This one seems closest to Ronaldo IMO, the performance throughout the CL was astonishing and his scoring in both la lega and CL was a key to those tournaments, The biggest competitor isn's going to be Messi (for a change, it probably won't be the two of them) as Kante and various players in Juventus had a very good season themselves.

Well said, Messi is not going to be the ultimate contender of this individual trophy, Buffon or kante would be the replacement of Messi, Messi did well in the league and UCL but it was not enough to make impact on the team result. Whereas Ronaldo did the actual job, which helps to his club to become the record holder.. what a season he passed....
