Will the ballon D'or be decided by the world cup 

[hugolee]

yeah wc has positive effect on ballon dor so why not 

 

[ravora]

wc hyppe can tilt things but it wont save a player who ghosted all season

[wickesse1]

nah they just look at whoos the shiniest name that year tbh

[onyxast23]

I still remember how Modric winning the Golden Ball in 2018 basically sealed his Ballon d'Or even though he didn't have his best club season. It really feels like if the World Cup is in the same year, voters just can't help but weigh it heavily.

If someone flops in the final, even a monster seeason won't save them.

[lorni]

Do you think the award matters more if a player dominates the whole tournament, or is just lifting the trophy in the final enough to sway voters even with a quiet group stage?

[ash7r4yr1]

ngl if someone goes god mode in teh knockout games it can def seal it bro ?

If Argentina makes another deep run, the narrative around Messi alone could tip the odds no matter how the rest of the year went.

[diegowolf]

Totally, a cltch Mbappé performance in the final would just nuke the voting odds for everyone else

The whole tournament hype always overshadows the league stats anyway.
