Don't feel like that, Zinedine is quite an uncommon first name and it's more impressive to know it than its last name if you're not from France or Spain.
Weah, Eto’o, Kanu, Toure, Drogba, Salah, Mané, Gyan, Ikpeba, Diouf, Diop, , Essien, Yeboah, Finidi (and as an Arsenal fan I’m loathe to say this, but) Adebayor. Only one of these makes the podium in 30 years? I wonder why that could be?
Cause as good as they were, mostly they weren't as good as the ones on the very top. But go ahead and keep believing every time a person of color is not praised and put on a pedestal it's because of racism.
To be fair, I think they've got the winner right almost all of the time, even if they've made some odd calls for the lower placings.
Not the last two years though. Lewandowski has been better than anyone, even with Messi winning the Copa, for the last two seasons. Creating a new category: Best Striker, really smacks of an organisation scrambling to make up for glaring mistakes.
For once, I don't think FIFA corruption can be blamed. Both the vote and the ceremony take place at the wrong time. This might explain how Jorginho got 3rd and why Salah was actually lucky to get 6th in 2021 despite being the best in the world at the time of the ceremony. However, Salah must be the favourite to win in 2022, even if his current terrific form deserts him later on.
No, they don't always get the winner right. However, Messi did deserve the Ballon d'or in both 2019 and 2021. If the Ballon d'Or was given to the best performer each year then Messi would probably have 1-2 more Ballon d'Ors
Secondly, some voters have had their bias, or idiocy, exposed. Messi and Ronaldo famously refuse to vote for each other. Apparently, many Portuguese and Argentine, Real Madrid and Barcelona voters do the same. Roy Hodgson voted Mascherano the best player in the world in 2014, perhaps explaining why he was such a failure as England manager. I even remember Paulo Wanchope(!) getting votes one year. Paulo Wanchope...
First place has gone to the correct player almost every year. Maybe, maaaaybe, Beckham should have won in 1999, and I remember people complaining that Figo won when Romario had scored more goals than the rest of the world combined, but was Romario even eligible? Then Modric: great player, but did he have the personal stats to win?
Ever heard of something called UEFA Euro 2012, where Xavi was decisive in Spain's victory and the Tournament's Best Player???? Messi just scored a lot of goals, but this should not be the Ballon d'Or only criterion!
And by the way, there are at least four players (including Lewa, Kanté and Jorginho) who deserved 2021 BO more than Messi, who was already ejected from Champions League with Barcelona at the round of 16...
You probably don't consider van Dijk to be a legitimate contender for BO, just because he's a defender and doesn't score goals, but that would be a completely wrong approach for voting.
In what world is the best goalscorer not the best player- you need to score goals to win games, and Haaland was the top scorer in FA cup, Champions League and Premier league. If we're talking individual performances of the 22/23 season, Haaland is far clear. Messi had an amazing World Cup but that was only 4 weeks in December. Haaland was consistently scoring the whole season, and was the main reason why Man City won the treble. The Ballon D'or is supposed to be given to the best player of the previous season, and is just a popularity contest now, which is why Messi won it.
If this is your true opinion, then you don't understand ANYTHING about football! You are one of those people who only look at the scoreboard and the name of the goalscorers, but never bother to actually watch a game or how the goals even took place. Do you happen to know that football is a collective sport and that it is impossible for for-wards to score goals without the help of their defenders and central midfielders?
So what if Haaland scored the most goals last season???? He's a centre forward, it's his job and his position on the pitch allows him to do so! What about de Bruyne and Rodri (elected best player of the CL btw) e.g., who were more decisive to City's victory than Haaland?
Oh and one last thing! Please remind me how many goals Haaland scored in CL final and semi-final last season?
I agree that Rodri and De Bruyne were way more important to City's win last season, but since this award only looks at stats and trophies, Messi and Haaland were the only real contenders to win it. Also, just because Haaland didn't score in the final doesn't mean he didn't help his team to win it. You forgot that drawing away defenders is a main part of his game. If you watched that final, you would see that 4 inter defenders were marking him, leaving the space for Rodri. Please, go watch football before you make stupid comments. There is not a good argument for Messi winning the ballon d'or over Haaland and people are blinded by the fact that his name is Messi. If it was anyone else, Haaland would've won.
FYI my "stupid comment" never implied in any way that Messi deserved to win, as he was non-existent after WC 2022. No doubt Haland deserved it much more.
My point was that this trophy is not only a popularity contest, as you said, but also gives way too much credit to offensive players performances, despite defensive players being as much important for the game. As simple as that...!
I wrote Hristo Stoitchkov, thought I wrote it wrong, tried only his surname and both of them didn't work, searched on google, copied and paste it and it was also wrong : how is it possible ?..
and somehow sammer is, bleedin' disgrace that is.

Oh wait, are you one of those people who are suddenly now minimizing the importance of the WC to suit your prejudiced narrative?
Lewa robbed in 2021
Van Dijk robbed in 2019
- Xavi robbed in 2012
- Sneijder/Iniesta robbed in 2010
Van Dijk robbed in 2019?
Lewa deserved 2020, not 2021 - Haaland is the best goal scorer, not the best player. 90% of his goals are tap-ins.
And by the way, there are at least four players (including Lewa, Kanté and Jorginho) who deserved 2021 BO more than Messi, who was already ejected from Champions League with Barcelona at the round of 16...
