Idk why people always cry that French football rigged the voting criteria. When there is no voting criteria. They nominate 30 players and pick one voter from each country who ranks their top 5. They can vote for whoever they want for whatever reason. Just look at Sri Lankan voting the last couple of years. Some of thus voting is not even football related like in 2021 when Kjaer got nominated and even got some votes. And we all know that the votes were saving Eriksen life and not for his football
To me 30 is also an INSANE number that invites more biased votes from local journos... especially with GK having its separate award I wouldn't go past 10 nominees... and no, I am not putting people in just to shoutout a great season that's not what the award is for. Someone like Osimhen for example had obviously a great season but would be insane to put in any top 3 in the world
