I want Russia to win the 2018 world cup. Or Japan. Or some south american countries, that will be good for the sports.

much predicted winners of this year FIFA awards , maybe Buffon winning best goalkeeper was the only surprise , i think both Navas or Neuer deserved that title , Buffon deserved it in 2015 not this year . for best 11 also predicted winners , finally we see 3 selection from a team other than Barcelona or Real which's good for this prize , but what really FIFA saw about Iniesta this year that makes him better in midfeald than many other players such as Casemiro , Vidal , Kante and others , for Bonucci , Chiellini deserved to replace him , no place for Lewandowski , i wonder how come this striker couldn't make to the best 11 ever ! , but he , Keane and other big strikers around the world are very unlucky for the existing of Messi and Ronaldo

I don't like giving fan award to Celtic supporters , they haven't done anything special , even here in North Africa there're these kinds of Tifos , i think it should have given to Broussia Dortmund fans , because they hosted some Monaco fans in their homes after the match was postponed , for the best Goal i'm ok with Giroud's goal , but Mandzukic goal in CL final should have made the final list at least , an extraordinary goal in a very big match , the biggest match of the season ofc.
