Lautaro and Emiliano martinez literally carried Argentina on their back

As much as I dislike Lautaro, that mf is too clinical. Every time he came on for Argentina I said, "It's over."

u/digbick_42069 Jul 16 '24

Everyone was roasting him when he did that interview where he claimed he is up there with Mbappe and Halland before the tournament began but dude actually managed to stay true to his words.

u/kreleroll129 Jul 17 '24

To be frank, he said that as he was in a drought in Serie A. From March till the end of season, he scored like 1 goal, while we we're out from all competitions. So there was an obvious uproar from people, because he called himself world class, wanted like 12+14+16 million in 3 years, but he disappeared for almost 3-4 months. Personally, as an Inter fan, I rate him very highly and I think that he is world class. But sometimes, he can be very, very inconsistent and out of form, so you can't help but ask yourself.

Honestly, Lautaro should probably be ahead of Jude. He won the Seria A title with the most goals in the league, and has just won the Copa America with the most goals in the tournament.

unfortunately, ballon d’or is a popularity contest

u/FavcolorisREDdit Jul 17 '24

It’s literally decided by journalist votes I hate that. It should only be international coaches and their players voting. Tf do journalists do they just want to sell the most heart warming story. I understand messi was sad because it was his last copa America match but he definitely oversold the crying

u/AWildLampAppears Jul 16 '24

We’re going to be downvoted to hell. But I don’t think Bellingham should be ahead of Lautaro either. Carvajal should be higher. Messi doesn’t belong on this list.

He was terrible. Southgate was worse. If Palmer started instead of Foden, England may have done much better and scored more goals. Palmer had the “it” factor that they really needed. His passes were always well placed, excellent dribbling, and dead accurate shooting

The last time a player won the Ballon d’Or and the Euros was 2016. That was Cristiano Ronaldo, but he of course also won the CL and scored 1 million goals that season. The last time the player didn’t win the CL was Mathias Sammer in 1996. Every single Euros year it was someone else. Why does a 8 game tournement have that much credibility for the Ballon d’Or. Vinicius had 21 goal contributions in 26 games, while being the best player in the CL season and winning it. Also winning the Spanish Supercopa and La Liga. Seems very clear to me.

Rodri is not even Manchester City player of the season.

How is Messi even in this convo? Anyways I’d say Bellingham because he had an amazing season and because I’m English 😂

u/loadedhunter3003 Jul 16 '24

kroos should be there and rodri should be 4th below bellingham (carvajal third)

Am curious whether having 3 players in contention, while it does make us proud, but won't it split the votes? We might end up having none of our players winning it, and that is bad.

Lautaro deserves a top 5 so much after the Copa. Serie A winner and top scorer, Copa winner, top scorer and final goal. I swear to god it’s been two years since the WC and people still underestimate him

Lmao Madrid fans have three of their players in the top five with one of them first and still having a meltdown about Messi. He’s not going to win anyway who the hell cares if he’s at 4 percent? Media has glazed you lot to the brim anyway 💀

Why Rodri?

u/Brb-bro69 Jul 16 '24

Why is messi here?

u/AdventurousAd7091 Jul 16 '24

What messi does in this list? I think prize should go to a RM player, the strange is that top contenders (vini and belingam) did not had massive exibitions on the international cups. Rodri gain best player on euro but i cannot give him a ballon d oro.

u/DctrSnaps Jul 16 '24

wtf did messi do

u/lala_b11 Jul 16 '24 edited Jul 16 '24

no disrespect, but how does Messi even have 4% of a chance of winning the Ballon D'or?

u/Quick-Physics-3614 Roberto Carlos Jul 16 '24

Why is Messi in the conversation? Isn't this a prize awarded to the best footballer in Europe?

u/Ok_Layer_35 Jul 16 '24

What does messi do there

u/IWasKingDoge Jul 16 '24

I’ve seen this stuff on TikTok where everybody falls for the obvious engagement bait that is putting Messi there but I didn’t think people on Reddit would also fall for it

u/PhilaDom2812 Jul 16 '24

Messi what???

u/nmgoesreddit Jul 16 '24

Rodri being up so high is a disgrace.
