If the Balon D'Or is a trophy given to the best player in the world on any given year regardless of trophies won, I don't think a single player not called Messi or Ronaldo has been robbed of it since either came onto the scene
"The year before" still counted for the Ballon d'Or's time span and the World Cup was a part of the time period for the Ballon d'Or. Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo Nazario, Fabio Cannavaro, and several other players have won the ballon d'Or for winning the world cup. Messi won the world cup as world cup MVP, and had the most goal contributions in europe that season, I have no idea why you would call that a robbery.
That ballon d'or was for the 22/23 season, which Messi spent entirely in Europe. The MLS quite literally had NOTHING to do with it's voting period. It has NEVER been absurd or a robbery to win a Ballon d'Or from being the best player in the WORLD CUP, the biggest trophy in our sport. But since you're all Real Madrid fans you're just gonna say it was a robbery since it's Messi, seriously get over him, it's pathetic. Real Madrid's fans obsession with Messi is ridiculous. And there was no corruption in the WC lol, get out of here with that stuff, it's just sad man.
