Ballon d'or controversy
Since 2008, an award was created by the FIFA board called the ballon d'or, today it is an award that all footballers around the world wish to hold one day and win, unfortunately it's not that easy, although I think it was a good idea to create an individual award like this I really think it is rigged. When the first award was broadcasted, it was superstar Christianity Ronaldo who won the award, I think he deserved it because he was the top scorer of the Barclays premier league (in England) and was the top scorer of the champions league, Manchester united, Ronaldo's team at the time won both the league and champions league thanks to the Portuguese international. The following year, Lionel messi the Barcelona superstar won the ballon d'or, for the same reasons cristiano won it back in 2008, it was well deserved. But in 2010 Lionel messi won it another time, why? The world will never know, because the people were really sure that Wesley sneidjer the inter Milan superstar was going to win it for sure because of his team winning all trophies in the same year. In 2011 another robbery took place where Lionel messi, won the award again! It was a robbery because Ronaldo was the top scorer of the world, top scorer of the league and won the league but only made it to the semi final in the champions league. After the third time messi won the award the people were getting pretty furious because of the lack of explanation. Then in 2012 the ballon d'or became a voted award, every captain from every national team in the world gets three votes for who they think will win the ballon d'or and for the fourth time in a row Lionel messi once again won the award. When messi won the award and the players votes came out to the media, many players said that their votes had been changed and that those votes were not who they voted for... Currently Ronaldo is the top scorer of the champions league and of the league itself because if messi's injury, currently Ronaldo has 70 goals in 2913 and I am very looking forward to the award ceremony in January in Munich to see if Ronaldo will once again get the trophy he we'll deserves.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that in 2008 there was an award that was called Ballon d'or controversy, and also how the same guy won it so many times. I also think that is was rigged because like you said the other guy should have won because he scored more goals.
the award isnt called ballon dor controversy, im simply stating that the award is rigged because its an award given for fame and not skill
DeleteWow that sounds pretty unfair. It's a shame when people who deserve awards don't win them and it is given to somebody less deserving. However a lot of the time in sports awards they are given to the most popular and not always the best player. I hope the controversy with this award gets settled with the next award.
