In a World Cup Year, an outstanding performer at the World Cup should get it. However, seeing as no individual really stood out at the WC, Ronaldo most definitely deserves it for his accomplishments at club level this season.

    Neuer as best player of the WC...maybe. But for 2014, Ronaldo hands down
    Correct, but in a WC year, often, the best player of the WC wins this award.
    But then, if the best player of the WC wins it, it will be Messi ;) He was picked as best player if I am not wrong....
    Now that would be a joke.

    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

    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

    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.

    Messi was clearly the best player at the World Cup, he was MOM in the frst 3 games!!!

    Ronaldo has been in beast mode all year though, so should probably win it.

    I think Di Maria was Argentina's best player until his injury, not Messi.

    Messi was good in the groups stage but he failed greatly when it mattered (in the knock out stages).
