Ballon d'Or 2025

[Maradona37]

am I the only guy who actually likes the premise of the award?

Yes

 

[Maradona37]

everyday I open it man,it's on my bookmarks in chrome.

Actually you plus all the Ronaldo fanboys in the world are the ones who care most about this award, lol.

 

[DHorozov]

Pedri at 11th being that consistent last season is a joke... but hey... who cares about this, just give it to Donnaruma or Mbappe for the banters hahahah

 

[Maradona37]

Bet Bellingham is above Pedri, these awards are a PR driven joke, lol.

 

[Maradona37]

not watching this time round,playing a game,but one thing even I dont like is they take forever to announce it lol.

When I watched it several years ago it was like the CL draw, so much foreplay. Though they got to that a bit quicker this year.

 

[Horatio]

The rat is present.

 

[Temptation]

Pedri 11th hahaha.

Try telling me this isn't a PR award now!

Dude should comfortably be top 5.

Dembele and Raphinha should be top 2 followed by Vitinha, Mendes and Pedri.

 

[Hardy]

Yamal is there with whole family, even grandma present. He definitely won

 

[Andresito]

1.33 Dembele
3.25 Yamal

Lamine closing in

[KingLeo10]

Pedri 11th hahaha.

Try telling me this isn't a PR award now!

Dude should comfortably be top 5.

Dembele and Raphinha should be top 2 followed by Vitinha, Mendes and Pedri.

Vitinha and Mendes above 40 G+A season Yamal with most dribbles across all of Europe.

Keep crying

 

[Barcaman]

If Lamine wins it will be the biggest upset so far.

 

[Maradona37]

Why does Tempt play down Pedri and Lamine (I am surprised to see him praising Pedri here). They seem very much his type of players. Is it just because they play for Barca and are Spanish? He has no problem praising Raphinha, lol.

 

[Maradona37]

the other day I saw him praising a barca player ,was shocked lol

He's tried to cool down praise of Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Alves (or does he rate him? Not sure. Maybe he does to make out he made Messi look better, lol), Neymar. I am sure he's done the same with Busquets at some point.

Obviously he rates them, as not rating them loses credibility. But he tries to 'play them down'. For the most part, he doesn't seem to like Spanish Barca players or La Masia graduates.
