FIFA Ballon D’or list has few surprising candidates missed out

There are four glaring exclusions from the FIFA Ballon D’or list announced yesterday.

With the announcement of the FIFA Ballon D’or list came very little claims on who’s going to win it. I was however quite a bit surprised however with some of the glaring exclusions. Whereas Lionel Messi, Christiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribery top the headlines amongst the most deserved to win the prestigious award, I was quite surprised on some of the players who were excluded and inexplicably not included despite their out of the world performances last season. This year the FIFA included 23 players whom they felt were the deserving, however I am not obliged to agree on their lines.

So here are the four players who should have perhaps made the list:

Marco Reus:

One of the world’s best upcoming talents already on display, Marco Reus is the new blend of German Football who has raw pace with incisive precision and dazzling ability to turn a game right on its head. With Mario Gotze now gone to the greener pastures of the Allianz Arena, Reus is the focal point of Borussia Dortmund’s lethal attacking prowess apart from Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Robert Lewandowski and Jacukb Blaszczykowski. He created about 30 chances and made double the number of key passes in the Bundesliga last season. An integral member of the squad who finished runners up in the Champions League last campaign, Reus should have surely been on the list.
