I genuinely don't get the Hazard thing. I've tried to understand it but it just baffles me every time. Is it because of some kind of inferiority complex in Premier League or what? Every single top league out there has a bunch of players like him. Even when he was performing at his best last season he would never have walked into any of the big teams in Europe.

It's people drinking the Sky Kool Aid by the fucking gallon that's what it is. Biggest player on best team in England managed by Mourinho, that's enough information for many to cast their vote, and some of these guys are football managers

Do you even watch Sky? They big up La Liga as much as the PL these days. Probably because BT has take most of the PL coverage.
News to me to be honest. They've been doing it for about a decade before I stopped watching it.
Sky is/was just one part of the whole media narrative nowadays anyway.
I'm from Vanuatu and this offends me.
Hazard getting top three, or the suggestion you're from outer space?
Hazard won Cech a medal last season, probably why he voted for him.
Not only that he's contributing to his medal hopes this season too. 😆

Talk to your fellow aliens then Mirthy, I didn't tell your captain to vote Pogba at #1
Pogba must be the most over rated player on the planet.
Speaking of Pogba, creds to his brother, Florentin. As captain of Guinea, he voted 1. Messi 2. Ronaldo 3. Neuer. No points to his own brother. 🙂
Just saw Arjen Robben as #22 on that list. The guy has barely played football last year ffs 😆
Well, once nominated the lowest you can end up is 23rd.
And then they managed to vote the guy who's been a fixture in the triple winners midfield and goalscorer in the CL final below a bald egghead cunt who spent the last year on the treatment table. The whole Ballon d'Or horseshit with the nominations voting etc is all just one huge shitfest tbf.
Never mind that Casillas was voted the fifth best goalkeeper in the world.
Seriously aside from the winner, the Ballon d'or is a farce.
it's a mess. the only surprise yesterday was Wendell Lira winning Puskas award.
as for Pogba. i would kill for him to come in as our central midfielder. a midfield of Ozil, Pogba, Coqueling is baby oil territory
Modric making the team of the year says it all. Had an average season.
I don't think the Ballon D'or (which is about the winner) is bullshit. After the top 6 or so though it's pretty much random. Those other guys are given so few points that one weirdo (for example Norway's captain voting Mascherano the best player) can change too much.
So you're saying basically to remove the fuckery out of the voting we have to exclude Norway.
Yup, and the Pakistan coach who voted for Robben. As far as I remember, Norway hasn't voted Messi the best player before.
