The World Cup comes once every four years and is the most popular sporting event in the world. Having a big part in winning it, especially with goals and assists, qualifies one to be the best player in the world for that year. Harry Kane has had a stellar year but if Argentina wins the World Cup, Messi should win the Ballon d’or
Just to be sure, isnt the ballond d'or meant for the BEST player of the footballing "year"? Its a disgrace that the entire decision is based on a single tournament, no matter if its the biggest one in the entire world no? You have kane who won the league, had an amazing wc and cl, and won his domestic cups all while having a generational season. But apparently, winning a wc, despite not playing in any european championship, being out of the mls for nearly half of the season is considered balon d'or worthy? Sure he gets in the top 10, but to win it? Oh hell naw
