Rodri wins the ballon d’or. he probably would have been named the best later in england too, were it not for his lack of englishness. 

although one got to say, in the same vein that rodri got screwed out of the epl awards, vini jr 100% got screwed here.

my problem is less with the call and more with the ca t that he didn’t make the call until havertz was on the verge of scoring.

city will do this to you when you come close to almost tasting the fruit of victory. Take it from me; Let it go.

If there is an international tournament the year of the Ballon d’Or you can bet the best player on that team will have a strong chance of winning. 
 

If England won the Euros Bellingham probably would have won. If Vini won Copa then he probably would have won it. 
 

I don’t think Vini was clearly the best player in Europe last year (he plays on an all-star team every week) so it’s not some major travesty that the best central midfielder of the last 6 years won it.

there’s no doubt he’s legit talented and i think he’s probably going to be awesome. i just also believe that he fits the “white english guy getting excessive praise” mold. it no doubt irks me extra in light of how saka has been treated by english fans and media in comparison to palmer.
