Scholes doesn't deserve a Ballon D'Or, that award is usually given to attacking players who flashy, noticeable and had a fantastic season, Scholes got nothing of that. Same thing will happen with Xavi, he'll never win one nor will Pirlo.
A terrifying thought would be, how Scholes could've been if he played in Spain or Italy? In Spain and Italy players get a more time on the ball and play with players who have a good technique. Scholes's passing and technique is just out of this world (especially for a Brit, where technique is almost non existent) One other thing, in Spain and Italy a 5 man midfield formations are more used, which means you got more teammates to pass to in the middle and he'd use his short passing more.
The English game limited Scholes, yet he still managed to be a great player and possibly the greatest midfielder the league ever seen.
I'm gutted that Scholes retired, it even hurts more than the Champions league defeat. It'll be so weird when Giggs and the good old man call their day. Since ever I remember watching football I remember watching the hairy sheep shagger and the ginger midget.
