#Ballon d'Or: 1986

[blackswaneuroparedux]

From my point of view, what's beautiful in the sport is that you don't need to know too much about tactics or anything to see. If you find something beautiful, you don't need to be an expert to know it. It's like ballet… The reason it was nicknamed 'ginga' was that normally, when we'd play against a European team…back then, the European teams were very tough and physical. They were big, and defensively solid... There were some in Brazil who thought we should make that our football culture. We would say, 'We want to dance. We want to ginga. Football is not about fighting to the death. You have to play beautifully.' And so we did, and that's the reason that Brazil created more of a show, more of a ballet… The ambition should always be to play an elegant game.

- Pelé (Edson Arantes do Nascimento)

Pelé was born on Oct. 23, 1940, his father was a professional soccer player in their native Brazil. Pelé — who was given his nickname by childhood friends because of the way he mispronounced his favourite soccer player goalkeeper Bilé  - honed his craft playing futsal (or indoor soccer) in Bauru, the region within São Paulo, where Pelé grew up.

In 1956, at only the age of 15, Pelé tried out for the Santos FC professional club near São Paulo. He soon signed a contract with the team and made his professional debut on Sept. 7, 1956. In the Brazilian press, Pelé was instantly hailed as a star, with the forward leading the league in scoring as a 16-year-old in 1957. The following year, Pelé joined the Brazilian national team for the 1958 World Cup, delivering a performance that would make him a global star and earn him the nickname “O Rei,” or “The King.”

Pelé’s dominance continued through the Sixties as his Santos team won six championships in the Brazilian league over the course of that decade, while Brazil also won the World Cup in 1962 and 1970, with Pelé winning the Golden Ball for best player at the latter tournament. In his 19 seasons at Santos, spanning from 1956 to 1974 and roughly 660 games, Pelé scored a record-shattering 643 goals.

In 1975, Pelé helped ignite interest in “the Beautiful Game” - a phrase he in part popularised for the sport, inspired by his own majestic style of play — in the U.S., a country seemingly culturally impervious to soccer’s charms: The American team failed to even qualify for the World Cup between 1954 to 1986. Following nearly two decades at Santos and a brief retirement, Pelé signed with the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League.

Pelé’s mere presence helped the Cosmos reach record attendances, and the sport itself gained public awareness otherwise unheard of stateside. He spent three years with the Cosmos, culminating in a Soccer Bowl championship with the Cosmos in 1977. That same year, Pelé played his final game as a pro as the Cosmos hosted his former longtime team, Santos, for an exhibition match at a sold-out Giants Stadium, with Pelé playing for both teams during the game. In the near half-century following his retirement, Pelé became one of soccer’s greatest ambassadors, continuing his push to keep the “Beautiful Game” on the forefront of the world stage. He starred in soccer-related movies — 1981’s Escape to Victory and 1986’s Hotshot — and teamed with Brazilian musician Sergio Mendes on the soundtrack to a 1977 documentary about his life. He received an honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth as well as every other possible soccer-related accolade, from the FIFA Order of Merit to the FIFA Player of the Century to a spot on TIme’s 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century list.

The debate over his status as the all-time No.1 is almost unresolvable, with Lionel Messi the only player to match him in Ballon d'Or awards, and the Argentine and Cristiano Ronaldo also leading him in the all-time goal race. But you can judge Pelé’s greatness by what his footballing peers - legendary players in their own time. “The best player ever? Pelé. (Lionel) Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are both great players with specific qualities, but Pelé was better.” said Alfredo Di Stefano, the late and great Argentine star for Real Madrid. Ferenc Puskas, the legendary Hungarian footballer disagreed, “The greatest player in history was Di Stefano. I refuse to classify Pelé as a player. He was above that.” For Franz Beckenbauer, he said of Pelé “He is the most complete player I ever saw.”Rarely do the Germans see eye to eye with the Dutch such is their footballing rivalry, but for the late great Johann Cruyff, “Pelé was the only footballer who surpassed the boundaries of logic.”.

Even Ronaldo, the only player on the same level as Lionel Messi in the modern game, put the debate to rest when he declared, “Pelé is the greatest player in football history, and there will only be one Pelé in the world.”

Chelsea striker and Australia captain Sam Kerr is set to face trial after being charged with racially aggravated harassment of a London police officer.

The 30-year-old pleaded not guilty to the offence at a court hearing on Monday, the Crown Prosecution Service said.

Kerr is scheduled to appear at Wimbledon Magistrates Court on 1 February 2025.

It follows an alleged incident in January 2023.

"The charge relates to an incident involving a police officer who was responding to a complaint involving a taxi fare on 30 January 2023 in Twickenham," a Metropolitan Police spokesperson said.

Kerr was charged on 21 January this year "with a racially aggravated offence under Section 4A [of the] Public Order Act 1986", they added.

However, she denied the charge at a plea and trial preparation hearing at Kingston upon Thames Crown Court on Monday.

The striker is currently sidelined after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury at the club's warm weather training camp in Morocco in January.

She has scored 99 goals in 128 matches since joining Chelsea in 2019, and is her country's all-time record goalscorer with 64 goals in 125 games.

Speaking to media in Adelaide on Tuesday, Football Australia chief executive James Johnson said the federation had learned of the "very serious allegations" in the news that morning.

"There is no place for racism in our sport," he said. "At the same time Sam has rights, natural justice rights, procedural rights that she has to work through and we will respect that."

Asked if Kerr - arguably Australia's biggest sports star - should be stood down as the national team's captain until the court case has played out, Mr Johnson said the governing body needed to "establish the facts" before deciding its "next step".

"We are trying to get to the bottom of it at the moment... we've got to find out what actually happened," he added.

"I haven't spoken to Sam other than a text message to check in on her wellbeing."

Matildas coach Tony Gustavsson told reporters in Sydney he was "surprised" by the allegations but could not say anything further.

During her time at Chelsea, Kerr has won four Women's Super League titles, three FA Cups, two Women's League Cups and the Women's Community Shield.

She has also been nominated for the Ballon d'Or Féminin - the top prize in women's football - every year since its inception in 2018, placing second last year.

Chelsea have declined to comment.

Messi’s Dream Comes True In FIFA World Cup 2022 After A Long Wait

At the Lusail Stadium on Sunday, Argentina outdid themselves with a magnificent performance to win their third FIFA World Cup title. They prevailed over France 4-2 (3-3) in a penalty shootout to claim the trophy. Lionel Messi was outstanding for the team.

He scored two goals during the first 120 minutes and then coolly put the penalty kick in the back of the net during the shootout to win the game. Messi now has both major international titles, Copa America and FIFA World Cup.

Messi was the first player to step up to take the penalty kick, and he calmly and confidently converted the goal. Gonzalo Montiel, one of Messi's teammates, scored the goal that proved the game-winner, elevating Argentina to their third Football World Cup championship.

As soon as Montiel's penalty kick was completed, Messi was overcome with emotion, and his Argentine teammates rushed over to give him a celebratory hug. It was the first time in the great's career that he could win the Football World Cup.

Throughout the match, Kylian Mbappe of France gave Messi a run for his money to win a golden trophy. The attacker for France scored a hat trick to help the defending champions come back from a 2-0 deficit and then evened the match again after Messi made it 3-2 in extra time.

It was commonly believed that the competition in Qatar would be Messi's last opportunity to compete in the Football World Cup because he was 35 years old and approaching the conclusion of his career. And if that turns out to be the truth, he saved the best for last. 

He has now scored 13 goals at World Cup competition, moving him over Pele into fourth place on the all-time list of Football World Cup scorers, tied with Just Fontaine. His seven goals in this year's event exceeded Maradona's five goals in 1986's competition in Mexico.

Lionel Messi's Performance At Football World Cup

The Argentina captain competed in the 2014 final and lost to Germany by 1-0. However, the magic he produced to match in and out during his prime years playing for Barcelona did not appear to translate when he represented his country in blue and white stripes.

After scoring 7 goals and registering 3 assists in the 2022 event in Qatar, there was little doubt about who would be awarded the honor of being presented with the FIFA World Cup Golden Ball. The honor is presented to the best player in the tournament. 

Lionel Messi is the winner of the Golden Ball, making him the only player in the annals of the competition to have won the trophy on two separate occasions. He was selected as the most outstanding player in 2014 when Argentina's team came in second place behind Germany.

The Argentine, who is 35 years old, has won a record seven Ballon d'Or trophies, presented by the French news magazine France Football to the best international soccer player of the year. The Argentine also has a completely loaded trophy case. 

Now that Lionel "Leo" Messi has won the FIFA World Cup, his reputation as one of the best players in the history of his sport is likely to be cemented in the eyes of the majority of soccer fans. The World Cup trophy was the one significant missing piece until Sunday.

Finally, Lionel Messi and Argentina won the penalty shootout against France by a score of 4-2 following an extra-time thriller. However, Messi has never set out to become the player regarded as the GOAT, an acronym that stands for the best player of all time.

Lionel Messi’s Football Career And Achievements 

According to Messi, when he was a kid, he didn't fantasize about being a soccer superstar; rather, he focused on accomplishing small goals, finishing one at a time before moving on to the next. Messi is quoted as saying, "I fought for my dreams." 

Even as a small child diagnosed with growth hormone insufficiency at 11, Messi has always been a good athlete. However, the superstar, who measures only 5 feet 7 inches, is unwavering in his assertion that a strong work ethic has been the primary factor in his ongoing success.

Messi said, "Initially, I wanted to make a living as a professional player. After that, I challenged myself to improve and set fresh objectives for each new year." According to his previous interviews, he puts in long hours of practice to maintain his level of play on the soccer field. 

And even though he had been known for a long time as a superstar worldwide, it took him approximately 16 years and five World Cup competitions until he finally won the elusive title. He has ultimately fulfilled his dream and won the Football World Cup 2022.

Along with the substantial revenue he's raked in throughout his 18-year career, the new trophy is a welcome addition to his already impressive collection. According to Forbes, he has over $130 million in earnings for this year, making him the highest-paid athlete in the world in 2022.

According to estimations provided by Forbes, this figure takes into account a base income of approximately $75 million from his club team, Paris Saint-Germain, and $55 million from endorsements and other off-field pursuits.

Being the best can result in significant financial gain. But Messi insisted that being one of the sport's all-time greats was never his intention; instead, he attributed his success to his efforts over a long period, allowing his natural ability to shine through.

Lionel Messi - The Golden Ball Receiver In The FIFA World Cup 2022

After each FIFA World Cup, various awards are presented to players who have distinguished themselves throughout the FIFA World Cup tournament. The Golden Gloves and the Golden Boot are two of the most significant awards that may be won in this competition. 

The Golden Ball is given to the player with the most impressive overall performance, including the goals scored and the outstanding abilities displayed. The player who finishes the competition having racked up the most points and goals, is awarded the Golden Boot. 

The Golden Ball award for best player in the FIFA World Cup 2022 goes to Lionel Messi of Argentina for his remarkable performance. Messi will not compete in another World Cup after the 2022 FIFA World Cup. So, it was his last chance, and he finally got it. 

The Golden Ball award at the FIFA World Cup was first given out in 1982 alongside the Golden Boot trophy, and ever since then, it has been presented at every football competition. This honor has only ever been bestowed upon a single keeper (Oliver Kahn in 2002).

A FIFA technical committee compiles a short list of players, and then a group of media representatives cast their votes on the candidates from that list. Every player is still eligible for the honor, even if they weren't a part of the squad winning the championship.

Italy, Argentina, and Brazil have all amassed ten victories, making each country the most successful in the competition. Because of the numerous instances of game-winning brilliance they have contributed along the way, Messi and Mbappe were the two leading contenders.

Kylian Mbappe, the renowned French attacker, was tied for first place with Messi for the most goals scored in this tournament with five goals. In addition to scoring goals, Mbappe has been able to assist his teammates on two separate occasions. 

Kylian Mbappe was a great possibility to compete for the Golden Ball because he had an accuracy percentage of 83.4%. But, unfortunately, the award can be won by only one person. And this time, Messi got that luck and finally received the prestigious Golden Ball Award. 

Final Words 

Overall the Football World Cup 2022 Finals in Qatar was a heart-throbbing, thrilling match full of excitement. Football lovers will remember the team's contribution along with Messi's performance. Keep waiting for the next round of excitement in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

This remarkable chapter in the sport's timeline boasts iconic figures, legendary players, and unforgettable moments that have become immortalized in the hearts of soccer fans worldwide. From their incredible skills to their unwavering passion, these soccer legends have left an enduring legacy that continues to captivate fans even to this day.

The Rise of Soccer Icons

The Golden Era saw the rise of several soccer icons who took the sport to new heights. One of the most prominent figures was Pelé, the Brazilian maestro who mesmerized fans with his grace, agility, and prolific goal-scoring ability. Pelé's sublime skill set and undeniable charisma made him a global superstar and an ambassador for the sport. His record-breaking career, including three World Cup victories, cemented his status as one of the greatest players ever.

Another iconic figure from this era was Diego Maradona, the enigmatic Argentine genius. Maradona's unparalleled dribbling skills and unmatched vision on the field made him a force to be reckoned with. His mesmerizing "Hand of God" goal and the subsequent "Goal of the Century" in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinal against England remain in soccer folklore. Maradona's immense talent and magnetic personality turned him into a larger-than-life figure, forever etching his name in the annals of soccer history.

Legendary Players and Their Contributions

Beyond Pelé and Maradona, the Golden Era introduced fans to legendary players who contributed immensely to the sport. Johan Cruyff, the Dutch maestro, revolutionized the game with his innovative style of play known as "Total Football." His ability to effortlessly control the game and his exceptional vision and technical prowess made him a true legend of the sport.

The French midfield maestro, Michel Platini, showcased his incredible artistry and leadership skills. As the orchestrator of the French national team and Juventus, Platini's remarkable performances earned him three consecutive Ballon d'Or awards and left an indelible mark on the sport.

Where does Lionel Messi rank among the all-time greats?

At his fifth and final attempt, Lionel Messi finally managed to achieve the ultimate goal: winning the world cup. In a game that didn't seem worthy of a final for almost 80 minutes, the Argentine guided his team to the biggest prize of them all. Many fans and analysts agree that this triumph makes clear once and for all who the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) really is. But how does Messi compare to other iconic players such as Pelé, fellow countryman Diego Maradona, and long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo? Let's find out by listing the greats.

Lionel Messi: starting off with the main man himself. The World Cup was the one missing jewel on his already magnificent crown. After enduring one heartbreak after another for many years, Messi finally managed to win some international trophies with Argentina in the twilight of his career. Although the 2021 Copa America and the 2022 World Cup are also the merit of goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and coach Lionel Scaloni, among others, Messi had a massive part to play in both triumphs. The stats speak for themselves: at the Copa America, he scored 4 goals (joint-most) and produced 5 assists (most). At the World Cup, he scored 7 goals (2nd most) and produced 3 assists (joint-most). He is not only Argentina's all-time top scorer with 98 goals in 172 appearances, but also FC Barcelona's, with 672 goals in 778 games. And stats do not say everything, of course, as the versatile forward is equally well-known for displaying some of the most wonderful pieces of skill ever seen. Having now won literally everything at both international and club level, as well as a record 7 Ballon d'Ors, Messi certainly is a safe choice to pick as your GOAT.

Diego Maradona: for a long time, the World Cup seemed to be the only prize separating Messi from his illustrous predecessor. Maradona almost single-handedly won football's biggest trophy for Argentina in 1986, scoring 5 goals and being crowned the tournament's best player in the process. That particular tournament is generally seen as the absolute highlight of Maradona's career, although his surprising move to Napoli in 1984, resulting in the club's two only league titles, definetely deserves an honorable mention as well. Unfortunately, the Argentinian icon's name is also linked to less sportsmanlike affairs, such as a cocaine addiction and the infamous "Hand of God" goal. Nevertheless, Maradona's glorious achievements on the pitch will forever mark him as one of the absolute best to ever kick a ball.

Pelé: 3 World Cup trophies, 12 World Cup goals, over 1 000 career goals in total... Pelé's numbers speak for themselves. Football's first global star is still considered to be the GOAT by many people, including himself. The Brazilian icon spent most of his career with Santos, which he helped win five consecutive league titles between 1961 and 1965 and a sixth one in 1968. The forward was even declared a "national treasure" by the Brazilian president, which prevented him from being transferred out of the country. Nowadays, the fact that he never got the chance to prove himself at a European club casts doubts over his status as "the best ever", although the whole world could witness Pelé's massive talent and goalscoring ability at some of the most iconic World Cups to date.

Johan Cruyff: one of the "classic three", together with Maradona and Pelé. The Dutchman's outstanding set of skills and goalscoring ability made him by far the best European player of his generation, with no less than 3 Ballon d'Ors to show for it. Thanks to his tactical insight, he was not only one of the most successful players, but also one of the cleverest managers of all time. A genius on the pitch and next to it, Cruyff left a legacy worthy of a true GOAT. If only his heroics at the 1974 World Cup weren't met with an unyielding West-German side in the final...

Ronaldo: the Brazilian one, to be clear. Nicknamed Il Fenomeno, Ronaldo was arguably the greatest talent of his generation - and perhaps even of all time. Playing for diverse European clubs, including both AC Milan and Inter Milan, as well as FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, the Brazilian won over the hearts of football fans all around with extraordinary skills and countless goals. His heroics at the 2002 World Cup included 8 of his record-breaking total of 15 World Cup goals. Surprisingly, Ronaldo never managed to win the Champions League, not even after joining Real Madrid's galácticos. Football fans can only imagine how astronomical his already phenomenal career would have been if it weren't for the recurring knee injuries that kept him off the pitch for so long and that would eventually bring an end to his footballing days.

Zinédine Zidane: few players in history were lucky enough to be as technically gifted as Zidane. The midfield maestro showcased his extraordinary dribbling skills in France, Italy and Spain, collecting numerous trophies as well as individual awards on the way. Above that, he guided the French national team to triumphs in the 2000 European Championship and the 1998 World Cup. He came dramatically close to a second world title in 2006, but in what remains one of the most notorious moments in sports history, Zidane got sent off in the final after headbutting Italian defender Marco Materazzi. It was an action the French icon will undoubtedly regret, as his side would go on to lose on penalties.

Cristiano Ronaldo: a born winner, a goal machine, a record breaker on all levels... there are many ways to describe Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite being born with significantly less talent than some of the names on this list, the Portuguese forward worked extremely hard to achieve his dreams. His trophy cabinet reveals that the hard work paid off: 5 Champions League trophies, 5 Ballon d'Ors, numerous league titles in various European competitions... Ronaldo also holds the record for top scorer in men's football, with no less than 118 goals. Once a feared winger, CR7 has in recent years restricted his game to simply scoring as many goals as possible. Unfortunately for Ronaldo, his change in playing style has been making it difficult to adapt to his teammates as of late, both internationally and on a club level. It must be difficult for the proud Portuguese to have to watch his long-time Argentinian adversary, who is getting older as well, develop a more pronounced playmaking dimension to his game while also catching up with him in terms of international success - and even winning the one trophy Ronaldo could never lay his hands on. Despite being a phenomenal player with a monumental career, Ronaldo might have been remembered as the GOAT if only he didn't have to play in the exact same era as Lionel Messi...

Conclusion: Lionel Messi had already earned a place among the greatest footballers of all time, but he might have just taken the top spot after his most recent - and perhaps most impressive - accomplishment. Having collected the one piece missing from his illustrous trophy cabinet, the Argentine arguably has the most complete and most impressive career of them all. After all, someone has to be the best, and his unmatched achievements are proof that Messi certainly wouldn't have stolen that title.

Franz Beckenbauer Fußball-Club Bayern München e.V. Ehrenpräsident

Franz Beckenbauer Fußball-Club Bayern München e.V. Ehrenpräsident

German football coach, football administrator and businessman. He has been the honorary president of Bayern Munich since 2002. His main position as a player is a defender. It was nicknamed "Der "Kaiser" / "Emperor" in German because of its unique imperial leadership and game dominance.

He is well known as the epitome of Libero, playing as a "German Libero," which reorganizes the role of Libero. He is also the only defender to win multiple Ballon d'Or titles, including the 1966 England World Cup Rookie of the Year, three FIFA World Cup All-Star teams, two UEFA Euro tournaments, 11 World Soccer teams, and 12 Kicker Bundesliga teams.

At the club, he led Bayern Munich's first heyday by lifting numerous trophies, including four Bundesliga titles and three consecutive European Cup titles, and further opened the golden age of the entire Bundesliga. He also contributed greatly to West Germany's runner-up finish at the 1966 England World Cup and third place at the 1970 Mexico World Cup, followed by Euro 1972 as captain, West Germany World Cup 1974 and Euro 1976 as runners-up.

He also became a coach, leading West Germany to the 1986 Mexico World Cup and the 1990 Italy World Cup, winning both the World Cup as a player and coach. He continued his success as an administrator, serving as vice president of the German Football Federation, chairman of the organizing committee for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, chairman of FIFA, chairman of Bayern, and honorary chairman.

He is one of the best players in European football history, the best defender in the history of unrivaled football, the best player in German football history, and is considered player in the history of Bundesliga and Bayern Munich. Aside from surpassing the career described below, it is hard to find even a player with a similar compatriot position. This is also verified by all-time ranking data released by various media, except for Messi and Ronaldo, Pele, Maradona, and Cruyff are usually fixed, followed by Stefano, Beckenbauer, and Puscas, and Zidane and Ronaldo, making it one of the top 10. Source: However, no player beats German nationality or defender position. Refer to the relevant link.

He received WK (World Class) as many as 27 times in Kicker Langliste, which ranks soccer players in Germany, which is the most unrivaled number of German players. Since his first WK in the second half of the 1965/66 season, he has received 11 consecutive seasons in 1976/77 season, his last season at Bion. He achieved Germany's first treble and finished second in league history with 18 runs in 34 games. At the time, he was the No. 1 player, but was relegated to the 2015/16 season when he scored 17 runs.) Considering that Bion's main center backs, Boateng and Dante, also received IK (International Class), one step below in the 2012/13 season, one can see how great the record is.

However, it was too much to accept this at face value because multi-player was evaluated in duplicate for each position in the past, so it was inevitably advantageous in terms of accumulation compared to current players. It is common for Langliste to make two evaluations in the first and second half of the season, but in some cases, it could have been evaluated four times in a season. Therefore, in the case of Beckenbauer, if the evaluation is made based on the current standard, the number of WKs received will be 21 instead of 27. Nevertheless, it is still an unrivaled figure.

He was also named the Bundesliga's 12th consecutive team of the year by Kicker

He is the only player who has been selected by the official best team five times at the major international competition every four years. West Germany failed to qualify for the UEFA Euro 1968, and Beckenbauer retired from the national team after UEFA Euro 1976, so he was selected as the official best team in all international competitions.

Only the major trophies he lifted as a player and coach are summarized as follows. It can be said that he is a soccer player who has made it a reality to say that he has literally won everything he can. He is also the captain and ace of the team.

Salı gününün 3. maçı C grubunun 2. maçı Meksika Polonya karşılaşması olacak. İki takımında idol oyuncuları söz konusu ve büyük ihtimalle bu iki oyuncunun da son Dünya Kupası olacak. (Meksika'da kaleci Guillermo Ochoa, Polonya'da forvet Robert Lewandowski) İki takım daha önce Dünya Kupası'nda 1 kere karşılaştı, bu karşılaşmayı Polonya kazandığında takvimler 1978'i gösteriyordu. Meksika toplamda 17 üst üste 8. kez katılsa da finale ulaşamayan takımlar arasında 57 maçla en fazla maça çıkan ülke konumunda. Meksika katıldığı son 8 turnuvada gruptan çıkmayı başarırken , en son 1978'de turnuvaya gruplarda veda etti. Son 6 turnuvanın açılış maçlarının 5'inden galibiyetle ayrılırken 1'inde beraberlik aldı. Polonya ise 9.kez bu büyük turnuvada boy göstermeye hazırlanırken 1986'dan bu yana grup aşamasını geçemedi ve son 11 maçın 8'ini kaybetti. Günün son maçında turnuva öncesi sakatlıklarla en çok başı dertte olan Fransa uzak coğrafyanın takımı Avustralya'yla karşılaşacak. Son turnuvasına katılmayı amaçlayan son Ballon d'Or ödüllü Karim Benzema başta olmak üzere takımın ana kadrosunda bol sayıda eksiğe sahip olan Fransa kadrosuna yine de ekstra bir isim eklemeden turnuvaya başlıyor. İki takım Dünya Kupası'nda 1 kere karşılaşırken o maçında galibi 2018 yılında 2-1'lik skorla Fransa olmuştu. Fransa karşısındaki tek galibiyetini 2001'deki Konfederasyon Kupası'nda alan Avustralya diğer 4 karşılaşmanın 3'ünü kaybederken 1'de beraberlik aldı. Fransa bu büyük turnuvaya toplamda 16 üst üste 7. kez katılarak tarihindeki en uzun seriyi yaşıyor. 1998 Dünya Kupası'ndan bu yana en çok finale kalan ülke 3 seferle Fransa (1998,2006,2018). Fransa , Brezilya(1958-1962) ve İtalya'nın (1934-1938) ardından üst üste 2 Dünya Kupası'nda şampiyonluk yaşayan 3. ülke olmak istiyor. Ancak büyük bir lanet gibi turnuvayı kazanan son 3 ülke bir sonraki katılımda grup aşamasında öteye geçemedi.

Qu'est-ce que la malédiction du Ballon d'Or à la Coupe du Monde ?

Un footballeur qui a remporté un Ballon d'Or n'a jamais remporté de Coupe du Monde l'année suivante. C'est ce que l'on appelle la malédiction du Ballon d'Or. Lionel Messi a remporté sept Ballons d'Or, soit un record dans toute l'histoire, l'histoire du football. Pourtant, l'Argentin ne compte aucune couronne mondiale malgré tout son talent. Il n'a pas spécialement brillé en coupe du monde, il est loin d'être le premier à connaitre cette malchance. Benzema pour briser la malchance ? Messi n'a même pas figuré dans la liste des 30 nominés pour l'édition 2022 du prix le plus prestigieux du football. Lors de sa première saison avec le Paris Saint-Germain, Messi a eu du mal à s'adapter en Ligue 1. Il affichait des performances inférieures à ses standards tout au long de la saison 2021-22.

Il a remporté le titre de la Liga et la Ligue des champions avec le Real Madrid. De plus, il a terminé meilleur buteur de ces deux compétitions. Naturellement, cette saison exceptionnelle a permis au Français de remporter le Ballon d'Or en 2022, le premier de sa carrière. Remporter le Ballon d'Or est sans aucun doute l'un des plus grands moments de la carrière d'un joueur. Cependant, si Benzema remporte le prix en 2022, une année de Coupe du monde, Messi pourrait se sentir soulagé. Le Français peut d'ailleurs s'inquiéter. La raison n'a rien à voir avec le football, mais une simple superstition. Mais si l'on se fie aux exemples passés, la superstition reste forte au fil des ans. Un footballeur qui a gagné un Ballon d'Or n'a jamais gagné une Coupe du monde l'année suivante. C'est ce que l'on appelle la malédiction du Ballon d'Or. Par ailleurs, le finaliste du Ballon d'Or n'a jamais remporté la Coupe du monde non plus. La malédiction des principales légendes Michel Platini - Ballon d'Or 1985 Le Français Michel Platini est le premier joueur à remporter le Ballon d'Or trois fois de suite, en 1983, 1984 et 1985. Lors de la Coupe du monde 1986 au Mexique, les attentes autour de Platini étaient élevées. Cependant, Platini et son équipe de France sont battus 0-2 par l'Allemagne de l'Ouest en demi-finale. La France a terminé troisième après avoir battu la Belgique en match de barrage. Lire aussi : Ballon d'Or 2022 : Voici le classement et les résultats !

Ronaldo- Ballon d'Or 1997 Le Brésilien Ronaldo a remporté son premier Ballon d'Or en 1997. L'année suivante, lors de la Coupe du monde 1998 organisée en France, Ronaldo et son équipe du Brésil atteignent la finale. Mais la Seleçao a eu le cœur brisé après une défaite 0-3 contre le pays hôte, la France. Michael Owen - Ballon d'Or 2001 Michael Owen a remporté son premier et unique Ballon d'Or en 2001, à l'âge de 22 ans. L'année suivante, lors de la Coupe du monde en Corée du Sud et au Japon, l'Angleterre est éliminée en quart de finale après avoir été battue par le futur champion, le Brésil, sur le score de 2-1.

La malédiction du Ballon d'Or : Plus récemment… Ronaldinho - Ballon d'or en 2005 La légende brésilienne Ronaldinho est un phénomène au début des années 2000. Ayant déjà remporté une Coupe du monde en 2002, son ascension fulgurante lui a permis de remporter le Ballon d'Or en 2005. Lors de la Coupe du monde 2006, le Brésil, champion en titre, qui comptait Ronaldinho dans ses rangs, n'a pas pu dépasser le stade des quarts de finale après une défaite 0-1 contre la France. Lionel Messi- Ballon d'Or 2009 Lionel Messi a remporté le premier de ses sept Ballon d'Or en 2009.

L'Albiceleste a été éliminée en quart de finale après une humiliation 0-4 face à l'Allemagne. Cristiano Ronaldo - Ballon d'or 2013 Cristiano Ronaldo a remporté son deuxième Ballon d'Or en 2013. Ronaldo s'est présenté à la Coupe du monde 2014 malgré une tendinite rotulienne et une blessure connexe à la cuisse.
