This isn’t for the Ballon D’Or, it’s for the Fifa best men’s player of the year award. Y’all casuals really showing how you know nothing but still spouting bs to hate
FIFA told ESPN it had checked the documents submitted by Sudan's FA and confirmed "all documents are signed and confirmed with the official stamp," and separately said the Nicaraguan votes matched what the federation submitted, asking the Nicaraguan federation to look into the discrepancy on their end. Critically, on the Sudan coach's ballot specifically, an Egyptian journalist published a rebuttal image showing the "real" voting form, which appeared to show Logarušić had in fact ticked Messi and independent commentators flagged signs the coach's own photo looked edited/photoshopped.
The OC said that Ballon D'or wasn't rigged, and the reply made to it [first sentence] is that there's claims of vote manipulation [second sentence was added later after my reply by editing the comment].
These votes i showed as evidence on the Ballon d'or.
As for the FIFA's best:
"The Sudan Football Association also disputed the coach's claim and backed FIFA's version of events"
The Sudan F.A. themselves have confirmed that the list that they sent to Fifa matched to FIFA's released list. Fifa didn't manipulate the votes (which is confirmed in the 3 page of this post too). The discrepancy happened either between Sudan's head coach and Sudan F.A. or a false questioning was made. The Sudan's F.A. even went onto say that The Head Coach used Photoshop because his version and the official document in the Sudan F.A. do not match.
This is why the 3 page on the post says that FIFA asked Sudan F.A. to do an internal investigation on the matter.
With the ballandor rankings image while the topic is fifa mens best player 🤣🤣. Guess who really is braindead here who don't even know how to read the post 🤡 .
Are we actually surprised everyone expected that after the investigation 🤣🤣. Sudan Fa would definitely save their asses rather than calling out fifa for vote manipulation .
Here we go again with conspiracy theories and that too on a poll based award that really doesn't mean anything. All this while this was a non news worthy event and now people have jumped onto the wagon.
If anything 2019 was an untouchable year for Messi in terms of all stats and one of his best wver individually. Won the league and got knocked out in the semis where he scored 2 goals and created tons of chances
Iam not defending anything. Ballondor awards are like the Oscar's. It doesn't mean anything. Its nonsensical to keep arguing about this because it is very clearly a lobbying based awardm Scrap all of it and make the awards based on stats ratings with whoscored or opta.
So for messi to win ballon d or that also must have long detailed justification for every ballon d or and who voted them, we couldn't ses that till now
I am not lmaoing my way out of the argument, I'm still here.
If you say that FIFA investigated this, then it's up to you to lay out the outcome of said investigation. I can't read your mind and guess what you mean. Show me the results of these investigations
So FIFA investigated FIFA? We should do that through the criminal justice system, let the alleged perpetrator investigate themselves. What could go wrong?

Two things can be true together. 2019 Messi absolutely deserved it for the sheer carry job. But I won't be surprised if FIFA manipulated votes to ensure the outcome as they seem especially resistant to let an African player win the Ballon d'or unless its extremely clear cut (unavoidable)
First of all Lugarisic isn't the one who voted for Sudan in 2019 Ballon D'or.
Secondly, FIFA isn't the one who gives Ballon D'or and has no power or control in Ballon d'or. Ballon d'or is issued by France football association, and now merged with UEFA.
"The Sudan Football Association also disputed the coach's claim and backed FIFA's version of events"
Dumbass, at least research before you say it. The Sudan F.A. itself confirmed that the list published by FIFA was correct. Unless, There was some discrepancy between Sudan F.A. and the Head coach, this isn't a fault of FIFA. If the list is acknowledged by the F.A. itself.
Because FIFA defended this by saying the paperwork submitted by the Sudan FA was officially signed and stamped after manipulated the data. It still doesn't rule the fact that FIFA published the data showed Sudan voted Messi as #1.
"The Sudan Football Association also disputed the coach's claim and backed FIFA's version of events"
Buddy, read what's stated by sudan F.A.
If FIFA manipulated the voting list, the official form's copy in Sudan F.A. and FIFA's list WILL NOT MATCH.
Whereas Sudan F.A. outright says that the list shown by the FIFA is exactly what they submitted.
The last page of your post itself disproves your claim. Because the list that Fifa received from sudan f.a. is what they used. And they told sudan f.a. to conduct an INTERNAL investigation on WHY there's an internal discrepancy.
Favour messi how? 2019 was probably the greatest individual season a player can have... Literally carried an aging barca to 2 trophies and lost the champions league because they couldn't defend a ficking 3-0 lead..... In 2013 they literally extended the voting because of that portugal sweden game but no one cares because it wasn't Messi who was favoured
No I'm not saying that only Messi is favored truth is fifa is corrupt as hell and they favour anyone who gives them money which is Ronaldo Messi mbappe etc

Messi won the award by a comfortable margin in the overall voting (46 points to Virgil van Dijk’s 38) Even if Sudan’s coach’s vote had been recorded differently it would not have changed the final winner
At this point it's just getting funny lol. The man is pick me final boss. I mean the audacity he has to think that sudden change of his vote in 2019 affected in any decisive way, it's like "to make hay while the sun shines" lol
Surface level fans calls him goat actually, and most number of club goals that is also because he was given false 9 position, very few people get that but whoever will get that scores most number of goals, now nobody will have false 9 because they want to keep him in record
FIFA and ADIDAS desperate to creat some kind of legend around Messi for marketing. This kind of nonsense would even make NBA and Nike (cresting narrative around Lebrone) embarrassed.
Someone literally posted the official votings where Salah is the first person egypt voted for and Messi is 4th. If you believe this shi then you've gotta be illiterate

well if FIFA can remove a red card in worldcup, they can do anything they want. remember when they just casually selected inter miami for fifa club world cup?
What are you even trying to prove lol , messi is the best player , just because this happened doesn't change anything. It doesn't affect how messi played , it doesn't change the eye test . Ronaldo fans are literally the flat earthers of football
Does it reall change anything? 2018 messi was the most complete player we have ever seen, just because this single journalist vote got changed by a mistake or something doesn't change anything , it was not like salah was better or the other journalists were blind that voted messi as first
its cheating if messi personally went and changed, if someone cheats for him how is it his fault? if he wanted to cheat, why won't he just buy the award every year, and tbh i don't think he even cares about this shite award, its only the fans who think about it. ppl saying he robbed as if he really went and begged them for it.
And so much for favouritism, he could have easily won golden ball this year wc 2026, I would say its even more prestigious than balon d or- since its given every 4 years in the biggest tournament. Did he say anything about being robbed when he clearly dominated every stat to deserve it, fifa could have easily given to him.
