⚽🏆 2027 Ballon D'or!!! 🏆⚽

[Ale88]

So, 20% of the season is behind us, it’s a good time to take stock of the prevailing opinions:

It really amuses me that, despite the massive number of FIFA princess fanboys who insist he always deserves the award, the prevailing consensus is that Mbappé will win it. I find this strange, because I’ve noticed that even though they’ve come to realize that playing in a Mickey Mouse league is effectively a retirement move, this same fanbase shifts its support to Yamal on other platforms.
Overall, I’m satisfied with the reasonable voting, though I certainly believe that Olise and Haaland deserve better.

If Bayern Munich manage to win the Champions League then Olise's chances would exponentially grow. Haaland, I don't know, I really like him but I don't see this Manchester City going too far in the Champions League, there is a lot going on in that club. I voted for Mbappé because his numbers are always incredible, so even if he doesn't win the Champions League (and I hope he won't, last thing I want to see is Mourinho winning ), he may still win, like happened to Kane this year.

Haaland has indeed become a hostage to his club. Who would have thought that things with City would go so disastrously (though there were 115 hints, haha!). At least I’m glad he’s maintaining a solid lead in the race for top scorer - my outright bet is still in the green.
Why are you concerned about Mourinho? In any case, he has already won everything there is to win, so one title more or less makes no difference. Besides, if you look around, there are certainly many worthy coaches, but there are also far more controversial figures - people who, I hope, never even come close to winning a title.

If Bayern Munich were to win the Champions League, why would Olise be the one to receive an award? In that scenario, Kane would once again be the most likely candidate, as he is the player who carries the goal-scoring burden for the team. While I am a great admirer of Olise, if Bayern were to achieve such a feat, Kane would be the one closer to winning an award. Kane has also started this season strongly; so far, he has scored 8 goals—4 in the Bundesliga and 4 in the Champions League. Across all competitions, he has recorded 10 goals and 11 assists to date. Statistically, he is currently ahead of Olise.

That is if Olise perform well, if Bayern Munich lift the Champions League trophy which I’m sure they won’t I believe the person that will likely have an opportunity to lift the the ballon d’Or is Kane and not Olise, well it all depends on there individual performances.

Haaland won’t be able to compete for ballon d’Or next year because Manchester City is not performing well and yeah surely they won’t go far in the champions league.

All what Mbappé needs to win the ballon d’Or next year is to win a major trophy and then give his best performance in all competitions.

[Primark]

Haaland won’t be able to compete for ballon d’Or next year because Manchester City is not performing well and yeah surely they won’t go far in the champions league.

It seems like a decision to be made in a hurry. Haaland has scored 5 goals in 3 matches in the Champions League and 14 goals in all competitions. It is true that City's performance is bad. But they did beat Leipzig 3-2 in the Champions League. So if you were to consider all aspects, at least not to say that, but Haaland still has a chance.

All what Mbappé needs to win the ballon d’Or next year is to win a major trophy and then give his best performance in all competitions.

It is not mandatory. Where did you get this rule that to win the Ballon d'Or, you must win a major trophy? We have seen before that the Ballon d'Or was won without any major trophy. Winning a trophy may increase the chances of winning the Ballon d'Or. But since individual performance is given more importance during the Ballon d'Or award, his contributions in important matches will be considered more.

This is why most football lovers are saying that the ballon d'or award is fraudulent and inconsistent, because their are no set criteria, and most players that win it in the past were questionable, since they won nothing in their respective teams or their team won something big but their personal performance wasn't special, for them to deserve the award, but if we consider how mbappe has come close to winning the ballon d'or in the past few seasons, I guess I may have to agree with BitBakerr1 because I think that it has been due, so he just have to play his own role very well by winning a major trophy and performing very well individually, for him to win it.

Most of the ballon d’Or award was never given to players that deserve it, if the ballon d’Or was actually given to players that deserved it I don’t think Messi will be having 8 of it and some players who had it won’t even talk about having it.
If you have a very good PR believe me you have a chance of winning the ballon d’Or, I really don’t know why players are wanting it so badly.


Just look at the FIFPRO WORLD 11, the ballon d’Or winner didn’t not make it to the list and the player that was rank second in the ballon d’Or made it on the list, what those this tell you.

Ballon d’Or don’t have a standard or a criteria that you must pass to win the ballon d’Or, they just give it to who ever they wish to every year.

As a Juventus fan, the main reason is, of course, because he is part of Inter's history. And he achieved incredible results with Inter, for sure I don't want to belittle what he did. I may also add that I was living in Barcelona when he was managing Real Madrid, and every week he was attacking Guardiola and crying about referees, etc etc. I'm not a Barcelona fan but during that time I went to the Camp Nou several times, so I got a little attached to Barcelona and i was happy when they eliminated Real Madrid from the competition.
And lastly, I find it incredible that he somehow got hired (again) by Real Madrid because while I understand the reasons behind this choice, his style of play has nothing to do with the club. So, to put it in short words, I'm not a fan of him, that's all.

There is still a long way to go before the end of the season so it is not possible to say how they will perform. Real Madrid's performance is not that good, they are slowly improving, if they do not improve themselves and if Vinícius returns to the field and if their performance is the same as before, then there is no chance that Mbappé will win.

Ballon d'Or, is it only necessary to win a big trophy, to win the Ballon d'Or you do not need a big trophy but you also need a personal performance. The last Ballon d'Or was won by Kane, but Kane did not have any big trophies, only the league trophy and his personal performance was great.

Wow.....you said Messi wouldn't have had 8 Ballon d'ors? That's a laughable statement. So who should've had it then, Ronaldo? Hope you're aware that during their reign, there was no one that came close to their outstanding performance, so I guess the other person that you think should've gotten those ballon d'ors is Ronaldo, right? Well, your opinion is valid, but I and a whole lot of others that voted Messi thinks otherwise, and our opinion gave him the ballon d'or—even though I didn't vote .

Don't get me wrong, I love CR7, but I'll always prefer Messi because I love his style of play more. If CR7 had continued with his style from ManU before going to Madrid, I would've loved his style of play, but it wouldn't have taken him far. On a second thought, I think it would've, because that same style gave him his first ballon d'or in ManU.

Now, back to this previously concluded award, why on earth will anyone say Harry kane didn't deserve the award? He had 70+ G/A across all competitions, he was ±20 goals ahead of Kylian Mbappe. And besides, it's given by voting; again, a whole lot of people in football think the winners deserve it.

The reason why Mbappé did not win this year ballon d’Or was because Real Madrid was unable to lift a major trophy last season.
With the way Manchester City is performing this season I don’t think they can lift any major trophy and if they don’t win any major trophies Haaland will find it hard to be in conversation on winning the ballon D’Or, I just don’t see Haaland winning or competing for it with Manchester City with this kind of form.

The only reason Haaland is going to have a chance or even compete for the ballon d’Or is if Manchester city start performing well.

Well, overall it turns out to be nothing serious. But, by the way, you’ve refreshed my memory of how Mourinho gave Guardiola a kick in the backside and drove him out of La Liga. Ironically, after Guardiola fled, apparently assuming Real would dominate La Liga, things improved for Barcelona
Meanwhile, Yamal's incredible PR continues: LA League named his goal the best in October, despite the fact that Mbappé's goal won the vote by a landslide.
https://x.com/LaLiga/status/2119792123788636522?s=35
It’s noteworthy how fans are laughing at this disgrace in the comments. It looks truly embarrassing, but La Liga simply couldn't give both the Best Player and Best Goal awards to Mbappé, so they handed an award to Yamal instead.

Lol this is the state of Messi glazing we still have to live with... Honestly can't wait until he retires because my eyes cannot handle any more pain from this cringe.

No Kane (the Ballon d'Or winner for a moment), no Dembele, a weird ass 3-3-4 scheme with 4 forwards just to put Messi in (a guy who's job is being as an advertisement model in Miami)...who even made this? This is so embarrassing for the football itself we really need to stop it.

Manchester City are struggling and can't win the EPL (Arsenal are there to ensure they don't),or the UCL to give Haaland a hedge in the contest for the Ballon D'or, he can possibly do his numbers as usual but definitely not going with City very far in the UCL because the team he's playing this season isn't fit enough as it were some seasons ago when they won the UCL and EPL.

It's important Mbappe gets both individual performances topnotch and winning a trophy in the domestic league at least to increase his chances when compared to other players who may have made great numbers and taken their team to title victory, I think that's the essence of adding a trophy in a season for a player in the race for the Ballon D'or. Kane didn't just won it this year by individual stats but addition to his team winning the domestic league trophies was what strengthened his position more.

That's important to clarify. I've noticed that there's a lot of concern surrounding the Ballon d'Or awards, that most of the winners are considered undeserving, and that intrigues me because they maintain such a radical position on it. The journalists don't clarify their criteria. I remember very well when Rodri won it; it was leaked and Vinicius was warned that he wasn't going to win. From then on, Real Madrid didn't compete for the award again, only until this year.
That's why there are so many bets on who will win the Ballon d'Or. I lost mine because I thought the Ballon d'Or was going to be Kilian.

I don’t want to upset you, but haven’t you noticed that there’s already a successor to Messi - and that they’re going to keep shoving this PR down our throats until the end of time? I’m certain that if it weren’t for Yamal’s political stance (and his foolishness in voicing it publicly), he would already have a couple of Ballons d’Or. It's obvious to everyone that these awards have an extremely weak connection with what they are supposed to be based on (sport itself), it's more like a vote on who likes whom and who is more profitable to promote from an advertising and PR standpoint.

The interesting thing though, is that it's made by some entity called "FIFPro", which is not affiliated with France Football or Ballon d'Or in any way (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFPRO_World_11)

They have been glazing Messi even more though. Funnily enough, they used this 3-4-4 scheme with 4 forwards already three times before - all three times it was obviously to fit Messi in as well.

Now the serious question - has any team ever played with 4 strikers as a default scheme? who the hell even came up with this idea?

Let’s keep making money! Only 264 days left 

2027 Ballon D'or

https://polymarket.com/event/ballon-dor-winner-2027

With market volumes hovering near zero, now is the perfect time to uncover tremendous opportunities.
A couple of thoughts:
Mbappé YES is definitely a buy at any price below 20 cents - even yesterday, when it was clear to everyone that Kane would win, Mbappé’s odds climbed as high as 30 cents. He maintains a consistent level, the only scenario in which this position could lose all its value is if he suffers an injury.
Rafinha NO - this is a guaranteed result and the entry price is determined only by the annual return that suits you. No matter how good Rafinha is, Barcelona will throw him into the hole for Yamal.
Rodri NO - same.
Olise, Haaland are worth considering for a 10x return, they are fantastic, and should they suddenly capture the public's attention, their value could increase significantly.
Yamal NO - for me it is as obvious as it was this year. But I’ll wait until the pricing allows for an annual return of at least 30%.

While I don’t always agree with you on your opinions on this ballon d’or, I think this is a good opportunity to make cool cash. Betting on Kylian Mbappe right now is a good bet and his odds are sure going to climb, 16% is a good odds to buy even for Lamine Yamal his also have the potential to increase beyond what it is now.
I also see Raphinha as a good bet if he continues with his recent form in the league and the champions league there’s money to be made here.

Ballon d’Or don’t have a standard or a criteria that you must pass to win the ballon d’Or, they just give it to who ever they wish to every year.

Many people say this when there is a debate about the results of the Ballon d'Or. But the reality cannot be forgotten. There are definitely criteria for winning the Ballon d'Or award. The major criteria for giving the Ballon d'Or are individual performance, team achievements and Fair Play which are definitely considered. Although individual performance is seen as the most important. But what they mean is that they give the Ballon d'Or award as they please. If that were the case, then many rich players would have bought the Ballon d'Or award. Even those who are currently showing good performance might not have their names as winners of the Ballon d'Or.

Even at this we know it’s a voting system but there are definitely some irregularities with all this criterias added because we have seen players who we all know performed individually brilliant and also were part of the team that won silverwares getting snubbed or not recognized because they do not play for certain clubs. So even with this criteria’s people still shout of injustices and they are certainly true.

Balon D’or is now a popularity contest to be honest and no matter the criteria they put now people wouldn’t actually get this believe off their mind, while I like the winner for this year I had doubts for other year winners too.
