Quality wise this worldcup was exceptionally poor. It should not be a factor. Furthermore no one stood out, and neuer best keeper ? How about that mexican ?
Sorry, nothing comes even close to Ronaldo

It is that way, but it's wrong because there's already an award for the best player of the WC. What's the point? That's why the Balon d'Or was the better award, before they changed the voting system
Balon d'or used to be an excellent award that did not say what player had the highest potential, but who actually played the best (like neved winning when zidane/ronaldo/rivaldo/figo still played)
Nowadays its a popularity quiz. Ronaldo and Messi can be shit but still get votes from the fanboys. Furthermore, alot of the voters have no global image of the individual performance. 50% Doesnt know who Barzagli is and think Chiellini is better.
I expect Messi to win another few, as soon as he performes half decent.
