    He is. I'll post pics of the little cousin shortly.

    He has a good head on his shoulder, I'm not worried.

    And btw regarding Modric and the world cup, rakitic was better than him in the summer. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

    You completely left out the Champions League.

    I agree that the only three people in the conversation to win the award should be Ronaldo, Messi & Salah. The fact that Modric is in the conversation AND projected to win is a disgrace.

    1.) Ronaldo
    2.) Salah
    3.) Messi

    Salah didn't win shit and didn't score as much as Messi. Ranking him over Messi is an insult.

    The prem is tougher and he got his team to overperform in the Champions League.

    I'd rate Salah ahead of Messi.....maybe. In the World Cup, no proper comparison since they both more or less sucked.

    But Liverpool making the Champions League final... that is a big deal. What were the odds of them doing that? And it was much in part because of Salah. Guy delivered in the EPL too.

    Between him and Messi, I'd say Messi,but Salah had an immense season. 3rd for sure and absolutely the ******** ahead of Modric. How this ********ing Croatian got into the mix is insanity.

    So your argument is based solely on La Liga performance alone? Is that the only thing that dictates who wins the Ballon D'Or? If that's the case, how can you compare Bale and Benzema to Suarez and Coutinho?

    If you're going to evaluate the "world's best player" everything needs to be taken into consideration. Messi choked against elite teams in the Champions League. Ronaldo balled out. And broke records. He then went to the world cup and outperformed Messi on a weaker team. Messi choked and fail to show up.

    La Liga has dominated European competitons over the past decade or so. And it ain't just cause of Real and Barca, far from it. The data is clear.

    I'm not going to badmouth Ronaldo to make my point because I like Ronaldo.

    I'll just say this. In the league where Messi, Ronaldo and Modric all play the same exact teams, in the same exact stadiums, one was overwhelmingly better than the others.

    That means something.

    Lol must be nice to play Las Palmas and Espanyol week and week out. Game scores of 6-0 and 5-1. Bunch of shit teams in Spain that don’t put up a fight.

    Also, in England they play the FA Cup and Carabao Cup for their domestic cups. Spain has the Copa Del Rey and that’s it.

    Again, your point is based solely off of their performances in the league only. Didn’t they all play in the Chmapions League last year? And who was the best player by a mile?

    Didn’t Ronaldo and Messi both play in the World Cup? Who was more impactful?

    Ballon D’Or is not decided solely on La Liga performance.

    I can even add that Ronaldo has been a better play so far this season

    1. Ronaldo was better from February through March than Messi was in the champions league. Ronaldo was a non factor in the semis and final.

    2. Messi and Ronaldos world cups were basically even. If pique doesn't foul for no reason then people would be saying Messi had a better world cup.

    3. It's not based on la Liga alone. But it's part of the equation, or it should be. It's not just based on tournament play. That's why the champions league has a best player award and the world cup has a best player award.

    He’s probably shocked that there’s human beings capable of living that think Modric is a better player than he is.

    He’s resonating about the past and thinking about revenge while driving his exotic car.
