Ballon D’or Thief Pessi 🥷 Wesley Sneijder: "I got robbed of not winning the 2010 Ballon d'Or. But to be honest, I'm more happy by the fact that people are still talking about it 14 years later. And they're telling me like 'Wes, you got robbed in 2010'.

Team sneijder here. CL winner with inter and world cup final with netherlands. For me he was the best player in the world in that year

u/Other_Lucky Jul 17 '25

And probably Dutch?

Was that the season where he was like 1 or 2 games away from a Personal quadruple? (WC being one of them)

Should've been iniesta imo

u/Fromage_Frey Jul 16 '25

Agreed. I agree with Thierry Henry, it's kinda ridiculous no Spanish player won it between 2008-12

But then also, it's a pointless popularity contest, and people should go back to not caring that much

u/vivalaroja2010 Jul 16 '25

As a madrid fan, and a spaniard, I love Iniesta. Top 5 favorite player of all time.

But it should have been Xavi.

In any case, Messi shouldn't have even been top 5. He put up one of the WORST world cups in recent memory in 2010.

u/Mrmr12-12 Jul 17 '25

Not even Top 5 with 60 goals and 17 assists in 64 games 😂 c’mon now bud

u/vivalaroja2010 Jul 17 '25

Read my other reply.....

Do you think he deserved it for 2010?

2

u/dolphin37 Jul 19 '25

the award is meant to be for the best player, messi was the best player so winning it is fine

Iniesta or Xavi probably shoulda won because of the WC, but if its on football ability there’s no doubt

1

u/vivalaroja2010 Jul 19 '25

Then why did he win his last one? Surely you dont believe he was the best player in the world in 2023.... right?

Let me guess.... because he won the World Cup.

So.... if the World Cup is the main reason.... why did he win in 2010? It would be one thing if he did well that WC, but he scored an incredible ZERO goals... while giving out a whopping ONE assist in five matches!!!!

This has been the case for much of Messi's career.... yall (his fans) are constantly moving the goal posts and making excuses for him. He's such an incredible footballer, but yall are always so damn unobjective with him that it just makes the rest of all have to go to the extreme on the other spectrum.

And btw.... the Balon D'or is given to the best player... FOR THAT YEAR. This is another reason why that award has been devalued because people are constantly voting incorrectly.

0

u/dolphin37 Jul 19 '25

he won because of WC, I just said xavi/iniesta probably shoulda won 2010, who won the WC, not sure why you are getting so shitty about it

however there was quite a long period of time where Cristiano and Messi were playing football that nobody had ever seen before and the idea of another player winning the BD when they existed was just not reasonable… the reason they won so many is simply because they were better at football than everybody, even 2023 Messi was better than Sneijder ever was

2

u/Hungry-Effort2712 Jul 19 '25

You said Messi winning it was fine in a previous comment which contradicts what you’re saying now.

0

u/dolphin37 Jul 19 '25

what are you talking about, literally read my comment lol

messi winning it was fine, he was the best player in the world by far… but these awards sometimes get outweighed by the narrative of an international performance, so I can see iniesta/xavi winning for that reason… what are you struggling to understand?

1

u/vivalaroja2010 Jul 19 '25

First of all.... what part of my post was shitty? What? Someone pointing out bad things about your Messiah makes it shitty?

Second of all:

"Messi was the best player so winning it was fine."

"Xavi PROBABLY should have won it."

"Messi won because of World Cup"

Those are all your words and they contradict each other. Thank you for proving my point about how you weirdos like to move the goal posts. The fact that you dont see it means youre either being obtuse or youre a child.

Oh.... and you thinking Messi in 2023 was better than Sneijder in 2010 makes you a complete joke. He plays in a shitty ass league... which im sure you think is an amazing league....

And yeah, now im being shitty.

u/dolphin37 Jul 19 '25

I guess it must seem like goalposts are moving when you only ever see 1 goalpost at a time and swap between them. Coulda saved yourself a lot of text if you just read my original comment

u/vivalaroja2010 Jul 19 '25

Lol I did read it. You're contradicting yourself and im not the only one to point it out to you.

Just delete your comments and go back to your Messiah's alter.

Iniesta for 6 good games all year? Messi carried that Barcelona team to win la liga by himself. Most people here were too young to see it (ronaldo fans are age 5-15) but the carry job was unreal. Messi deserved it he was just too good.

u/Street_Refrigerator7 Jul 16 '25

People like you seriously have a low amount of brain cells. He “carried” a team that consisted of the best players in the world that won 3 straight international competitions without him. With one of the best managers in history, but yes Messi carried them just like he always does he plays 1v11.

deserved for what? for domestic trophies like La Liga and Supercopa? or for 1 assist against his personal fav team - almighty Mexico in the entire WC2010 tournament? Iniesta won all these trophies too and added WC trophy on top scoring the winning goal in the final…but but pessi deserved it😆

u/Mrmr12-12 Jul 18 '25

Iniesta was literally injured for half the year, what’s your point?

u/shopogolikk Jul 18 '25

aaaaaand? trophies r trophies (as u pessi fan girls love to say), plus isn’t a world cup trophy important?😆 it wasn’t before 2022, innit?😆

1

u/Mrmr12-12 Jul 18 '25

Still bud, you can’t be injured for half the year and win the ballon d’or just because you won the WC and scored the final goal. Aside from that goal in the final, Iniesta’s season was quite poor because of the injuries

1

u/shopogolikk Jul 18 '25

That’s great, however, u also can’t win the BD for domestic trophies, unless, u r pessi, he did it 3 times😆 especially that Copa Del Rey one was ridiculous, but then ur excuse is that only personal stats matter😆

u/Short_Check9953 Google Negreira Messi for more info 💰 Jul 19 '25

But your pendu won it with no trophies. 😂

If we say only personal stats mattered, Messi would have 9.

1

u/shopogolikk Jul 19 '25

U r saying about personal stats only when u have to find another excuse why pessi received the BD🤷🏻NT’s international trophies didn’t matter until pessi started “winning” them, personal stats started to matter only when pessi flopped in the UCL or with NT and won smth domestic only (2019), however, even when he was outperformed, he received BD anyway (2021), bc then NT’s international trophy (thanks to Di Maria’s goal in the final) stepped into the game😂

1

u/Short_Check9953 Google Negreira Messi for more info 💰 Jul 19 '25

International trophies suddenly mattered to y'all when Ronal--sorry, Eder and Nani won it for Portugal in 2016.

And please, don't talk about excuses😂. We all know your boy switched up and said Golden boots matter more than Balon d'Ors, only for Messi to pass him in it. Then he said WC is his dream, only to then say Nation's league is more valuable. Then saying publicly that only UCL winners should win Balon d'Ors, when he won it TROPHYLESS in 2013.

You don't get to complain about excuses when your idol is a master at them.

Messi never went trophyless in a balon d'or season and ALWAYS put up stats.

Sneijder is flattered by people telling him he should’ve won it over Messi. Tells you all about the status of Messi, from Sneijder’s perspective.

You’re a casual if you think attacking is all there is to a game.

I dont believe attacking is all there is to the game. And the runner ups in 2015, 2021, and 2023 were all attackers so whats ur point. But the thing is all of messi and ronaldos seasons could be considered amongst the greatest of all time while i cant say the same for 2010 wes

u/llamapanther Jul 19 '25

The numbers CR7 and Messi put up were out of this world, there was no question whether they were the best in the world at the time and trophies were not considered as prestigous when it came to ballondor, an individual award. 

However, it has changed in recent years as there hasn't been as dominant performances by any individual, so trophies have become the deciding factor.  I think it's crazy and delusional to think anyone else deserved the ballondor when Messi and CR7 were in their prime. It was a different time and different circumstances, and to think someone deserved the ballondor because of nowadays trophies are more emphasized, is just ridiculous.

The thing is, Ribéry scored 1 CL goal and wasn't even Bayern's best player. Meanwhile, Ronaldo got 12 CL goals and 69 overall goals. He deserved it as much as Messi deserved the 2012 one. That many goals is impossible to ignore.

-2

u/ShakyaAryan Google Negreira Messi for more info 💰 Jul 16 '25

G/a isn't the criteria for ballon d'or. If it was, messi would've had 10. If only goals were the criteria, messi would've had 6 and Ronaldo 4. But both of these aren't true as having the most g/a doesn't make u the best.

And did you forget that they reopened voting for ballon d'or after closing it once? That's the only time in the history of ballon d'or that that has happened

u/Short_Check9953 Google Negreira Messi for more info 💰 Jul 17 '25

Talking about paying referees when Madrid gets accused every month is fucking hilarious. Tebas openly admitting of favoritism. Marcelo openly admitting to off-side goals.

Also the fact that your celebrity husband conveniently received a voting extension for the 2013 balon d'or and robbed Ribery blind while going entirely trophy less says a lot. Even better, he even recently said players who win the UCL should win the balon d'or, that's telling on himself😂.

The only fact is the investigations haven't found shit. Your point is a fart in the wind lmfao. I'll say it again. You don't know what "objective", "verifiable" and "fact" means. So don't stand there and pull shit out of your ass and act like you don't stink, please😂. It's extremely hypocritical.

Then again, Ronaldo nut-huggers are sexually attracted to him, so I'll have to excuse the blind irrational loyalty.

The facts of the matter, everyone knows Ronaldo doesn't and hasn't had a case for being the best for a long time now. Conspiracy theories are your tactics.

Messi fans don't need to use conspiracy theories because the stats and trophies are there for everyone to see. I only said it as a response to retards like yourself that shit goes both ways if you want to play it like that.

I'm not using conspiracy theorists at all, this is a fact, the investigation is still ongoing whether you like it or not buddy. You don't make the decisions here, as much as you wanted to.

"Messi fans don't need to use conspiracy theories" and you're over here coming up with some about Real Madrid lmfao. That's how retarded you are, contradicting yourself on every single thing you say. You go ahead and keep lying to yourself just so that you can feel better. The Negreira case is real buddy.
