Who do you think should win the Balon D'or this year?

Because they're already the best . Messi & Ronaldo cannot improve on their club performances they simply cannot.

I'm biased as I'm a Bayern fan but Ribery. He is good in the Champions League, but domestically, he is phenomenal. He is every bit as good a dribbler as Messi and Ronaldo and I'm inclined to say better. Put 3 players round him and he'll still get away no problem with a nut-meg in there too. The only disadvantage is goals, but Messi plays as a striker and both him and Ronaldo take penalties etc whereas Ribery doesn't. The number of assists he gets is fantastic however. He won the treble and was the best player in the team. He's even doing brilliantly for France as well.

I do have a feeling that Ronaldo will win it though.

Yeah, I agree. But since the Ballon d'Or was created only Messi won it and most of the players who are still awarded as 2nd etc come either from Barca or Real (<3). It shouldnt be this waay.

I watch every Bayern game and have to disagree. Schweinsteiger wasn't at his best at the start of last season, he was still very good, but not at his very best. To be fair though, he was exceptional against Barca. Him and Martinez completely bossed the midfield. Lahm, he did captain the side, was very consistent and his assist bumbers from defence is phenomenal. However, I still think Ribery was the best. I've said this a few times elsewhere, but I believe that Schweinsteiger is Bayern's most important player, but Ribery is the best player. With the additions of Thiago and Gotze this season, Schweinsteiger's current injury isn't affecting the team as much as it did last season though.

Ribery playing domestically is absolutely sensational.

Ribery never has, and never will be on the same level as Messi and Ronaldo. They are arguably the greatest of all time.

However, I wouldn't necessarily disagree with Ribery>Messi in 2013.

what what are you blind, messi is far better than ronaldo

Messi is a one trick pony who is only good because his team play for him. Outside a team like Barcelona he would fail- as was evident when he played for Argentina at the start, they didn't play for him and hence he failed. Messi needs to attention or else he is useless.
Ronaldo however would be equally effective if you put him in a Sunday League team, he is a more complete player and better in pretty much every way. So to answer your question, no I am not blind- on the contrary you are.

Portugal would have got destroyed by Sweden if it weren't for Ronaldo. Did you not watch the game?

It does define, he has better all round attributes.

No you don't, there is no obligation for you to reply. You chose to reply. It wasn't silly though was it, look at the poll results as of yet, 51 votes for Ronaldo, 7 for Messi. 50 people agree with me, 6 people agree with you. So that's not really all that silly is it? It is a way of a discussion yes, but this was a type of forum post where I simply wanted to put my opinion out there. You probably replied to start this debate because you like arguing with people.

I can't be bothered replying anymore, put all my points across and you obviously are quite stubborn. So I'll leave it now

P.s. Just because there is no neg rating doesn't mean you have to reply

Funny how majority of people who voted for Ronaldo didn't actually explain why he should. Just because he's had a good last two months doesn't matter it's over the whole year.
