Let's wonder who'll win that one, (is it not sponsored by Adidas?)

Taking the rose tints off and I didn't catch every game but from memory;
  • Messi had one really good game or was it half a game let's call it 1.5 games and the only "moment" I recall is him missing a pen.
  • Ronaldo IIRC was similar maybe 2 good games but one great "moment" with the. final minute FK I can't remember if was a winner or equaliser though. He should have been sent off in one game though. Hat rick vs Spain.
  • Harry was a sacrificial goat for the England team, 2.5 - 3 good games,"moments" a last minute headed winner, some stonking normal time penalties under pressure and shit-housery, won in a shoot out, Hat rick vs Panama
Does that seem balanced?

I should probably click and finds out but reluctantly I think Hazard should win it comfortably TBH

It's not just based on the World Cup, it's for performances over the last 12 months.
