Cristiano Ronaldo snubbed on 2026 Ballon d'Or finalist list

Comments

1. Pale Vector: only 4 consecutive years of being robbed, CR7's got some more work to do 😉
2. Solar Specter: Can't say I'm surprised, but still gotta wonder what these voters are looking for now
3. Ravi: yep, another year, same disappointment, what's he supposed to do to win one?
4. Mirage Wolf: it's funny how the nomination cycle becomes this automatic annual heartache for him now
5. June: it's funny how this narrative has become the "curse" of his career, but at some point do we start expecting him to win just because he keeps being nominated?
6. Rubyfalkxo: four times now, you'd think they'd start looking beyond his goal total
7. Ranamaya: fourth time's the charm, I guess? seems like we can all breathe easy now that he's not getting robbed again
