Here’s a message to all the people who crow about or moan about their favorite player winning or losing the Ballon d’Or, or the FIFA World Player of the Year award, or the Doritos® SnackTime™ Best Footguy on the Planet Award™:
It’s time to stop.
Lionel Messi lit up social media with two absoludicrous dribbles to set up two goals in Barcelona’s win against Espanyol.
Which is as it should be - he taught yet another masterclass.
For some reason though, this led to a renewed call to collectively moan about France Football giving Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid the Ballon d’Or award for the best player of the year.
