#fifabest

The problem I have with the Ballon Dor or Fifa best is if you look at either awards process of selection either is by default uneven or imbalanced. These are not awards that in any way show any balance in opinion.

How can a bunch of journalist dictate who the best player in the world is? how? are journalist really unbiased? are journalist beyond influence? come on. And fifa best is the same level of unbalance. Peers selecting you to be the best, doesn't mean the peers vote is balanced. The flag team captains plus the flag team coaches plus another set of media people is not a balanced set. It simply isn't. all of these people are influenced whether they admit it or not.

My point isn't to criminalize the FIFA BEst or BAllon Dor, simply to state the obvious, these are two media awards that for some reason fans themselves can't accept are media awards.

Beginning with the 2022 edition, France Football decided to restrict the field of nations that had a media member with a ballot. The organizers reduced that list to the top 100 countries from the FIFA men's world ranking (for the men's award), and the top 50 countries from the women's world ranking (for the women's award).

The 2021 edition of the tournament saw 180 international journalists come up with the 30 finalists for the men's Ballon d'Or and the Yashin award finalists for goalkeepers. Also, a group of 50 international women's soccer journalists picked the women's Ballon d'Or candidates in 2021. Lastly, a panel of 32 former Ballon d'Or winners nominated the 10 Kopa Trophy finalists (Under-21 players).

The media members receive a list of the finalists to choose from and make their selections from that select group of candidates. Recognizing this flaw in the criteria, France Football made changes, asking voters to take into account the following three aspects for every player: Individual performance in previous season (no longer by calendar year) Team success during the previous season Player behavior and fair play during season in consideration The stricter parameters should ensure the player who performs at an elite level and helps their team win silverware will earn the recognition they deserve more often than not.

Now the following is proper news reporting in sport media. I will start with my usual, no GOAT exists and if I had and have any power in any league or club I will completely delete all non singular statistical awards. Now to the fifa best 2023 The fifa best final round only allows three players, and voting is based on captains of flag teams whose vote each count for five point pg 5 to 11 of pdf linked below, very biased, you can see alot in those votes on the players location, allegiances, i argue the captains just aren't good enough to be selectors. i rather flag teams vote but we all know why that will get wild. coaches the sad thing here is most flag teams don't hire domestic coaches, so that corrupts this entire ranking system, people ask how osimhen gets so little, well :) why you don't see AFC players well… a domestic only coaching mandate for flag teams would help pg 12 to 17 media is made up of one person per country but media is so flawed. Anyone who looks at media around any sport can easily see that most of the well known people have clear negative + positive biases that they can't hide. People who want to get on sky sports and be pundits on espn and et cetera, are going to vote for non uefa? when this is all public record. pg18-23 fans which is a count from the website, this is the phoniest part. No way is haaland or mbappe ever going to have more fans than messi who is their senior by significant years. Consider this, Mbappe + Haaland had to move from their first paid contract team for larger contracts, messi didn't have to, messi was adored for that , like if he had played for el che he would had stayed at el che. Fandom sadly is too guided or manipulated to be a fair ground.

In conclusion, the scoring that was most even was from the coaches. The captains/media/fans had the largest displacements between players. for example haaland got more media points than messi + mbappe combined. Messi got more fan points than haaland + mbappe combined. Messi + haaland each received enough captains votes to double mbappes. The funny thing is mbappe has made it two the last two world cup finals:) is that envy from the other captains. In the end, Haaland drew with Messi, I argue that should had meant they share it but… the larger point is all these awards are meant to suggest a lie, and no arithmetic structure will ever validate a GOAT or Greatest. Listen folks, teams win the trophies that matter most, the players get medals for being on those teams, case closed.
