Should have won at least one Ballon d'Or, especially for the year, 2015. Ballon D'or is for the best player during a 1 year period and not a season, right?
You'd think so but because a player can have a poor international tournament and then act as a cheerleader for 70minutes of the final, this apparently means they are deserving of winning it.
Of course they base it on the Champions League too so basically whoever wins or gets the furthest in the Champions League between Madrid and Barca, determines who wins it out of Ronaldo and Messi.
Popularity contest, that's all it is. It's gone from a prestigious award to a complete joke. Suarez has been the best for the past 2 years now, that's not me being bias but his figures and performances show that. He has even basically said he's not popular enough so wasn't expecting to win it but the fact he wasn't even in team of the year shows that the footballing world really needs to move on and start looking at what a player is achieving as opposed to any past incidents.
But then, he's not the only player to wrongly miss out on the award; both Iniesta and Ribery should have claimed it over the last 5/6 years too.
