FIFA Ballon d’Or 2013

[Xaviesta]

I edited that post. That bitch needs to learn to speak nicely.

 

[Jaboldinho]

I don't get it either.

 

[Mandieta6]

Well, what do you know?

 

[yoyo913]

What's the point of posting Voting Form?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I looked at that image for like 10 minutes yesterday and had no idea what point he was trying to prove.

 

[Filipower]

It says "The three best male players in 2013 are:". At least that's what I thought he meant by the pic.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah, you vote for your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice. That's how it's always been.

 

[Filipower]

Exactly, it doesn't mean there won't be 5 finalists.

 

[kp41]

maybe there is a second voting for top 5 like UEFA player of the year?
Those Xaviesta posts made this so confusing ...

 

[Jaboldinho]

You vote for 3, the 5 who get the most points are the finalists. Something unclear about this?

 

[kp41]

Is there second voting? ... there was no second voing in the past ... there was simply shortlist but you could still vote for others ... for example, last year it was Ronaldo/Messi/Iniesta but Iker voted for Ramos or Low voted for Ozil ...

I think it's not like UEFA, and there's a shortlist of 5 players not finalists ...

 

[ShiftyPowers]

No, there's no fucking second voting. You vote for 3 fucking players, they tally up the points, invite the top 5 to the award ceremony, and then give it to the player who finished first. What is hard?

 

[kp41]

Blatter announced that the Ballon d'Or will have five finalists.

I thought Xaviesta posted this and posted that form to imply Fifa changed the rule to something similar to UEFA ... because there's second voting in UEFA player of the year.

No, there's no fucking second voting. You vote for 3 fucking players, they tally up the points, invite the top 5 to the award ceremony, and then give it to the player who finished first. What is hard?

What's wrong with your attitude??? ... you genius thought about that simple form for 10 minutes to figure it out ...

 

[kp41]

Actually, there would be a second voting ...

FIFA Ballon d'Or
Ballon d'Or 2013

A 23-man shortlist for the FIFA Ballon d’Or was compiled by the FIFA Football Committee and a group of experts from France Football. It was announced on 29 October.

A ten-player shortlist was unveiled on Friday, 25 October for the FIFA's Women's Player of the Year, which was chosen by experts from FIFA's Committee for Women's Football and the FIFA Women’s World Cup and a group of experts from France Football.

These will both be reduced to three players for each award, being announced at a later stage. From the final shortlists, journalists, national coaches and captains will vote for the winner of the FIFA Ballon d’Or and the FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year.

The winners of all of the awards will be revealed at the FIFA Ballon d’Or gala as part of a televised show at the Zurich Kongresshaus on 13 January 2014.

No one knows what Xaviesta's point was. I get the voting, I didn't and still don't get what Xaviesta was trying to say by posting that pic.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Maybe he wanted to give us an insight into what the form looked like from a judges perspective?

 

[Filipower]

We need newbie to clear this up stat.

 

[Mus]

Maybe he was saying it's biased because Ronaldo is above Messi on the form?

 

[Mandieta6]

He has an image quota he needs to comply with.
