While living in Barcelona I went to 3 FCB matches. In those 3 matches Messi had 11 goals.

Why Czechoslovakia and Czech Republic, but there is Germany and no West Germany?

[–] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Perhaps west germany never won one

[–] OllieStavsToothgap@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Slovakia will remember that

[–] TheOncomingBrows@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

All of West Germany is now a part of Germany. The area that constitutes the Czech Republic is only part of what was Czechoslovakia.

Reminder that no player outside of Europe could win before 1995.

Brazil and Argentina would 100% have more wins if that was allowed.

That's not to get into the two Di Stefano won, plus the one from Omar Sivori. Both born and raised in Argentina. Weird they are counted for Spain and Italy when literally today in the ceremony they talked about how Luis Suarez' was Spain's only winner.

[–] Fauberts_Siesta@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah in Spain nobody really considers Di Stefanos wins as ours, only Luis Suárez.

[–] acoolrandomusername@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Tom Brady stat that

[–] TherealAlong@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Primero Argentina

Segundo Francia

Buenas noches, señores y señoras.

[–] listlessbreeze@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Blud has the dev console open.

[–] QuieroLaSeptima@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I would Argue Argentina has 11 as Di Stefano is much more Argentine than Spanish. Also Sivori.

[–] Kal-Kent@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

talk about carrying your country on your back

sheesh

[–] TheyStoleTwoFigo@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Hard carry.

[–] HellRider619@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Figo, Ronaldo and who else for Portugal?

[–] Slash1909@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hope he returns to Europe one more time on loan to lift another trophy. Preferably not with a state owned club.

[–] DeeOhEf@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Implying Barcelon- ohhhh

[–] LOLXDRANDOMFUNNY@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Sivori and Di Stefano were born and made in Argentina too, is stupid to not also add them considering we are talking about best countries producing talent.

[–] Theman4ever@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

One man army

[–] Jamarcus316@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Carry job lmao

[–] KidGoku1@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

If you told me 2 decades ago one day a player will end with 8 Balon D'ors I'd call that impossible and mock the person saying that. GOAT and it ain't even close.

[–] ManuMora98@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Spain isn't updated, it's 4 wins, Luis Suárez, Alexia 2 and Aitana

[–] MrRawri@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Argentina has 11 no? Di Stéfano has 3

[–] wjdbfifj@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Lionel Messi now tops the number of Ballon d'Or wins by a country as well

[–] DildoFappings@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Damn. Messi is now the undisputed GOAT. He's got more Ballon d'ors than every other country in the world. Single-handedly put Argentina top of the list from not being on the list. Kinda feels empty now knowing that he's gonna retire soon. Truly the end of an era.

[–] ImpressiveLife3116@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Who are the 5 players for Italy?

I would think cannavaro and baggio are two

Edit: Omar Sivori( he actually Argentinian), Gianni Riviera( the goat) and Paolo Rossi (the lamb).

[–] gentmick@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Kinda skews the statistics doesnt it

It will take some time until a Portuguese comes around to get a title again

[–] KingRo48@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Netherlands punching above their weight

[–] RuubGullit@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

And Portugal too

[–] deputydawg420@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

We already had before, Di Stefano was argentinian.

[–] NewmanBickle@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Alfredo Di Stéfano and Omar Sívori are also Argentinian, and it's well known that Spain has only won 1 time with Luis Suárez. So why the hell are they making the list this way?

The spanish Wikipedia has the accurate ranking.

[–] Sgruntlar@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I feel like France will very comfortably top this list in a year or two

[–] Alex95111@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Players: 1

Wins: 8

It's such a cold stat Jesus

[–] BertEnErnie123@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Didn't even know we had 7 in total. I only knew van Basten, Cruyff and Gulllit won it for us, but not the number of times.

Checked the list and found out that in '88 we got the full top 3 even (1-vBasten, 2-Gullit, 3-Rijkaard), all of whom where playing for Milan at the time. Kinda nuts.

[–] dontcarenotbothered@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Funny how many people don’t understand that the nationalities listed are the national team represented by the players at the time they won the award.

It’s like complaining that Riyad Mahrez should be counted as French rather than Algerian or Achraf Hakimi should be counted as Spanish instead of Moroccan.

[–] Xicu@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

What would be the count if they didn't have that rule in place that only Europeans were allowed to win it?

[–] SerpentRain@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Hey, 2 of those guys from USSR been Ukrainians, so we have 3

[–] Top_Eggplant_7156@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Alfredo di Stefano was born in Argentina as well
