like this matters anyway... it was ronaldos turn, thats all. neuer was clearly the best 2014, but didnt mattered.

You realise that this award is voted on by footballers right? They thought Ronaldo deserved it, not Neuer.


I know right. Everyone talks as if it's a conspiracy and that these 2 win because they're the most marketable or whatever. If it was chosen by FIFA then sure you can make these conspiracy theories, but the votes are made by footballers, coaches and journalists and they are made public for everyone to see. The system isn't perfect and there are many who simply vote for their friends or countrymen. There are also a lot of footballers and coaches who are clueless, but it's no conspiracy.



lets be real, sportsjournalist just a little smarter than games journalists and many football players are so stupid that you have to ask yourself how they can remember the rules. media hype has a lot more effect on not so bright people... and a system that lets everyone see how you voted is BAD not good.
