Speaking of Hazard, this was funny:

Uber Football Facts @UberFootbalI
Messi has more Ballon d'Ors this season than Hazard has goals...

Unbelievable that the little fraud still hasn't scored this season.

Hazard will be lucky to get 5 goals this season at this rate.

diego godin tried to be smart from cursory glance at the list, in trying to help suarez.

Pretty absurd Suarez finished behind Lewandowski anyway.

I bet some of these guys doing the votes don't even watch football. They just go "hmm who to vote for.. ah I remember that video clip on my facebook feed in which Lewandowski scored five goals, should be a good bet and it's not Messi or Ronaldo so people will think I know my stuff"

Anyone would didn't vote for Ronaldo or Messi is obviously biased.

Should have added Neymar actually.

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.

Kel, sort your country out.

Yeah, pretty embarrassing stuff. Seems to me Norway as a country is inherently unable to commit to the footballing views that Western civilisation as a whole holds important. Recent Pew Research polls have confirmed that most Norwegians think that way, seems like it's a biological predisposition they have.

We all know Germans are weird.

At least Norway voted for both Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar. Germany didn't vote for neither Messi nor Ronaldo.

Apart from the winner i didn't have any interest but this almost makes me want to find out who they chose.
I'm guessing Lewa, Robben and Neuer?

Trust Germans to always stay classy in these competitions. Embarrassing.

Maybe ballon d'or is "annoying German player" on googletranslate.de

Maybe people are taking the Ballon D'Or too seriously. Its a team sport who gives a fuck about these individual awards.

Eurovision, about right?

Wenger summed it up

on the Ballon d’Or…
I’m a big enemy of the Ballon d’Or. Who will win it? You know as well as I do that it’s certainly Messi who will win it. I think so. Overall I’m not a big fan of that.
on whether Mesut Ozil could win the Ballon d’Or next year...
I wish, as I told you I am not a big fan of that [award]. What is important is we are a team sport, and it’s not logical to me to just encourage individual effort. We live already in a society where it’s all about individualism. Coming from a team sport going to that as well is to me a little bit contradictory to what is the route of our sport.
