Ballon D'Or is another trophy which I hold with little esteem, often feeling like a popularity contest more than anything. Again, the fact that we've got shouts for Casillas to win it shows this and is nothing short of a joke as he's not even the best performing keeper around at the moment.
Well, England won 2 games in this Euro and drawed twice ... Not that bad for a bad team !!
Then, it's logical that Netherlands don't become 16th or more, they had a lot of points as they were one of the best teams, and after one bad Euro, you can't make them lose 10 places or more, they lost 3 games, but they just lost 3 games. 3 games doesn't make you become the worst team, nor the best team. I think it's some kind of logics.
Anyway, I didn't take a look at the rules used to make the ranking so I won't comment more.
One should not speak ill of the dead.
So stop laughing at Juventus !
