Nice to see they’ve come up and been competitive so far.

Also only five matches in and it looks like Liverpool are already running away with the league, and they haven’t even been playing particularly well. Less excited to see that.

What are yalls thoughts on the Ballon d’Or?

Seems like a big crock to me. Rumors that some of these players (Dembele being one) of paying PR firms to spin/influence their campaign.

It’s crazy to me how consistent Salah has been in the toughest league in the world, had his best individual season to date and finishes 4th.

Also, from the derby:

Lamine is the best baller in the world right now. Crazy he didn't win.

He is certainly the media darling. I won't argue Lamine is not a top player. However, Salah, for example had more goals and assists across all competitions last year in a tougher league, which his team won. He also matched PL goals/assists season record.

I can't argue against Salah at all especially looking at stats. I'm just giving it to Lamine off the eye test.

I certainly think he has ample opportunity to win it in the upcoming years. Part of my frustration comes from Ronaldo/Messi winning it over Salah in their later years when they weren't actually performing at top tier. It seemed they were given it simply based on their name and status.

I'm clearly bias toward LFC though which I why I'm curious as to other takes.
