Why was this rigging memory holed?

Ronaldo rightfully deserved the 2018 BdO, which would have put him at 6, the first to achieve that number, one ahead of Messi. But of course they couldn't let the little magician lose so they rigged it for Modric and later rigged the 2021 and 2023 BdO and 2022 WC for good measure because they could allow Ronaldo to win the GOAT debate.

>>149822604 (OP)
Ronaldo is the single strongest danger to the NWO

>>149822617
Modric wasnt even that good at world cup, far from bad but I felt perisic, rakitic and the forward I forgot the name had bigger impact
it was a subpar performance considering his status and he lost a penalty that almost eliminated them
this was the time they start the relativism about Messinaldo that obviously only affected Ronaldo since messi won 3 other bdos for farming la liga or copa america

>>149822604 (OP)
Half the planet was gargling with Croatian cum that year because of their World Cup campaign. Modric was in that team, had won the UCL and was a Halal player like Cristiano, so he naturally checked many of the boxes that give you votes. He also has that meek and humble public image which probably makes him more likable (reminder that this is a glorified popularity poll).
And no one hates Luka enough to accuse him of winning it unfairly. If anything, having a non-Messinaldo winner and being one of the 3 midfielders to win it in this century made people remember his win fondly.

It should've been Griezmann, though. He was decisive against Uruguay and Belgium, and ended Modric's dreams himself in the final. But giving the BdO to anyone who didn't play for Halal or was an Argentinian dwarf was unthinkable until last year.

>>149822604 (OP)
Why indeed.

>>149822861
>no UCL
why indeed

>>149822604 (OP)
Ronaldo fans have a victim complex

>>149822659
this
rakitic was clearly the best player, and there were others who had a bigger impact, but the fix was in for modric to have his dick sucked

>>149822604 (OP)
Maybe but 2018 was the last year he was really in the convo so he was already dropping off

>>149822659
You're an anti-Croat that much is clear

>was a ghost in the CL final
>flopped at the WC after one good game

He shouldn't have even been in the top 3 tbqh

How contrived. Sad!

>>149822617
>score 4 goals in a whole season
>win a glorified popularity contest
Joke.

>>149822617
Reminds me of this

You're Portuguese so I understand your bias

is there anything lower IQ than arguments about the Football Oscars?

>BdO winner must be UCL winner
Most retarded zoomer take ever.
UCL winner is the team that won the most prestigious club competition in Europe (and the World).
BdO is an individual award given by journalists to whom they consider the best individual player that year.
They can coincide but they don't have to.

>>149836830
No, but it's entertaining how much people seethe about these awards.

>>149836637
He joined them halfway through the season when they were bottom of the table and ended up winning them their first ever trophy. Nice try though.

>>149836836
It never used to matter, go through all the winners pre-Messi and Ronaldo and only a handful won the CL. In the past 30 years the only other player to win it for his CL run was Kaka.

>>149838056
>joined farmers halfway through the season when they were bottom of the table and ended up winning them their first ever trophy
And that deserved 2023 ballon d'or?

>>149823599
>>149823621
You are obese and brown and need to go back to your country.

>>149822659
didnt luka score the winning goal to get Croatia to their first final ever

>>149838107
That's my point.
>In the past 30 years the only other player to win it for his CL run was Kaka.
Aside from Benzema I assume you mean?

>>149838234
yes

>>149838234
The 2023 ballon d'Or was based on the 22/23 season, which was the period of August '22 - June '23. He won it based on the WC, it was no different than Ronaldo winning it in 2002 or Cannavaro in 2006.

>>149823291
ivan was good but he aint no petkovic

Mandzukic scored 3 KO goals in that WC. Including 1 in the final. How does he rank?

>>149845127
>poleshit proving WC KO goals is a meaningless stat
You sure are retarded
Klose is goat too?

>>149822604 (OP)
if money is involved in something, it's bound to be rigged. just the way it is.

>>149845276
Actually making goals in ko round is how you win the WC not that a Ronaldo fans knows
