So why didn't he win the golden ball in 2010?
Why didn't he win Balon d'or in 2010?

Cause Messi was better
>>67662135
Because he wasn't as good as Messi, Xavi or even Robben.
>>67662147
Messi didn't even make it to the finals
they often award the golden ball as some kind of consolation to a player from a Team that didnt win the cup

Talking about Sneijder and the Ballon d'Or.
Messi didn't win the 2010 WC Golden Ball
>>67662247
i meant in the wc obviously, before 2012 his performance in international Cups was rather underwhelming
Why didnt he win the balloon door in 1920?
>>67662399
Because he's playing basketball
>>67662333
>before 2012 his performance in international Cups was rather underwhelming
You mean when he carried Argentina to the 2011 Copa America finals and Tevez choked away the final missing an open net goal and a penalty?
>>67662106
>World Cup
Sneijder and Forlan got more attention because Sneijder scored the same amount of goals while being a midfielder and Forlan was the superstar of the overachieving team. Villa also lost a lot of hype for not doing much in the semi-final and final.
>Overall year
Normies can't tell the difference between Xavi (who deserved the title that year) and Iniesta (who spent a lot of time injured and his biggest merit was the final's goal) so they split the votes and Messi got the award.

>2011 Copa America finals
Argentina actually lost that one on the quarter finals and Messi didn't score a single goal in the whole tournament.
Tevez did choke horribly though.
>>67662106
he had equal amount of goals as the other guy in 1st
but the guy in 1st had more assists so they get the award
