    I think its journalist voted, 100 journalists or something that. People who may have never played a sport in their lives.

      Yeah “the best” award by fifa is better for sure, it considers fans, NT coaches n caps and “media members” from fifa nations(is that fancy word for journalists? Idk)

      Lets see who gets it this year, messi already got it for his WC last year.

    It lost all its credibility in the 2010s and was used as a way to push the CR7 vs Messi narrative.

      As a Milan fan, the fact that Sneijder didn’t win the trophy in 2010 after the incredible performance he delivered with Inter and the Netherlands was all I needed to label it a popularity contest and a PR stunt.

      Haven’t cared about it ever since.
