2017/18 UEFA Awards

Is this the ballon d'or then?

I think you can make a very strong case for Mexico as well. Despite the complete lack of faith for the national team this World Cup, they still made them feel like home in Russia.

Heard Russia was a ghost town when the Argentine fans left 

Even saw a video of both Mexico and Argentina fans trying to out do the other with their songs and celebrations, to which the latter completely embarrassed the Mexican fans.

Modric wins

That Salah award was a bit random. Would understand it if it was his goal against City or that one against Spurs for example and they did it to make sure he got something but the one against us was good but not that good.

[Cicero]

So it this based on FIFA? The World Cup? Then I can understand why Hazard is there ahead of Salah, but then why the fuck is DeGea there?

So weird.

Your annual reminder that Modric came to Newcastle's training ground to meet Keegan, his agent was a big Keegan fan. Everything went positively, Keegan was convinced he was going to sign. Two days later Modric's agent met with the Newcastle hierarchy to discuss the workings of a deal (Llambais, Jimenez, Wise) who told him that they didn't think Modric was worth it and had doubts he would be good enough for the Premier League. His agent left the meeting fuming and Modric signed for Spurs two weeks later. Newcastle would instead sign Ignacio Gonzalez on loan as a favour for an agent in a very dodgy deal. When Keegan asked who the fuck this signing was he was told to look him up on youtube. Newcastle United would go on to get relegated that season.

It's not even in his top 10 goals for us 

[UNORTHODOX]

I thought that Salah goal was absolute class to be honest, It had everything, Dribbling, Pace, Strength and the finish to top it off. i dont know if it was deserving of being the winner but it was still a brilliant goal nonetheless.

on a different note i found it ridiculous how hazard got in the team of year ahead of him when you know he was much better than Hazard last season, makes me think hazard only got in because of his hattrick last week.

It's a good goal, idk if it's a Puskas winner though.

Well... I suppose I do know if it is a Puskas winner... because it won. I feel like there are other Salah goals that demonstrate how good he is though. But this one's going in the history books... and it's against Everton so it's got that going for it.

It's fan vote. Egypcians sure voted a lot. The best goal didn't win.

They really shouldn't let fans vote. This is the second inaccuracy in the same year. The first being when Negrete won the best World Cup goal of all time.

People from said nation will just vote, and the winner will go to whoever has the highest population. It's stupid.

[Stan]

Last 10 winners of the award. Salah winning it is a travesty. 

Makes a mockery of it all. 

[True Blue]

I like Salah he is an excellent player, but that goal was truly nothing special. Good goal but for a award? Unlikely.

[Chaaay AFC]

How has that goal won?! What an absolute joke. 

[Cicero]

[JoshBRFC+]

That goal wasn't even Salah's best goal last season. WTF. 

Modric was probably the deserved winner of the 3. Then Salah, then Ronaldo.

I'd have still chosen Messi over anyone else. 

[The Artful Dodger]

Don't think Salah's was any worse than the Arsenal fella's lucky flick, nor should Ibrahimovic's goal have won it, it was a friendly ffs. What next, goals in training count?
