As good a season as Benzema has had how can anyone vote for someone who should be in prison for Blackmailing a team mate. He was given a Fine of 75000 Euros(less than a months wages and a 1 year suspened prison sentence. His club should have sacked him. Balon d'or he should have got tBalon and chain around his ankle

That's off the field stuff. Do they care about this??

So if he is a mass murderer it doesn't matter because its off the field FFS have a word with yourself

Apples and Oranges. I'm not defending him. I'm hinting at what France Football deems unsportsmanlike and what it turns a blind eye to.

That's the topic here not morally breaking down Benzema's deeds. Read it again.

I would assume that we expect people who win this prestigious award to be held as examples to others and young people as examples of what you can achieve through hard work talent and honest graft. I woonder if Man Citys Mendy has a chance in the future Seems to have done nothing wrong on the pitch but maybe he ***** half a dozen women . I say maybe because he hasn't stood trial yet. Benzema (if you ask me) got off very lightly with an offence that almost always results in a custodial sentence

from a goal dot com article:

Benzema's lawyer Hugues Vigier has told L'Equipe that the Madrid star has dropped the appeal because he has grown "exhausted" by the process.

He added: "This withdrawal endorses a ruling of condemnation and apparently of guilt. It is a judicial truth. But it is not reality.

"Karim Benzema will always claim his innocence in this case and he never wanted to participate in a blackmail operation against Mathieu Valbuena."

The fact that he has hoodlums as friends/entourage is enough evidence for me. But it's OK I guess, no women was ***** or beaten so Benzema is a nice guy. A fucking idiot that shouldn't be near a Ballon D'or.

Messi and Neymar should have still been in the list even with the underwhelming season. How does CR150 get nominated when his stats are worse than Messi’s and his team won nothing. They were in danger of being relegated even :lol: what a jokex

Because everyone with common sense knows Neymar and Messi were utter shite last season while CR7 had a good season individually?:lol:

It's very to go and walk through the Uner Eats league and perfor.....oh wait even that's not easy for certain players! :lol:

Courtois has to be in the top 3 but this braindead Frenchy magazine will obviously not give him his due.
