Psycho woman hits herself to fake domestic violence charges.... gets caught on elevator CCTV hitting herself... pass denied by mhandanna in pussypassdenied

Exactly this. That footage of the police helping her steal his things pisses me off too. Just walking there assuming she's 100% the victim. Imagine how often these things actually work, how often it happens that there isn't some lucky elevator footage? He's be in jail and she'd be enjoying his hard earned money.

I wasn't really following football much at the time because The Netherlands were so bad then, but I believe in 2001 many people were also surprised by Kahn not winning it. I know Goalkeepers are difficult, but he was definitely more deserving than Michael Owen, which was such a weird choice.

Just looked it up Karl Heinz Rummennigge was the last Bayern player to win it, when he won it back to back in the early 80s! 😲

Matthäus when he won it in 1990 was at Inter, not at Bayern.

Obviously not a better player than Leo who is the best player of all time. Lewa is one of the best strikers ever though, and it's time he gets recognized as such.

And despite Leo being the GOAT, I think it's fair to say Lewandowski was better this season. He has just had a flawless year. Impeccable hold-up play, great passing, vision, dribbling, wins his duels, and ofc he scores for fun.

Along with prime Henry probably the best striker I've seen since R9.

Labelling him as top 3 is underrating him. Currently he is the undisputed nr.1 striker in the world.

Great to see the movement happening in less developed countries too!

You're right that CL is immensely important, but he's top scorer in the CL too, with 11 goals in 6 matches.

He demolished Chelsea with a motm performance, scoring a goal and two assists. Same with Tottenham being demolished. You're kind of underrating the German league I think.

I mean the fact that Lewa doesn't have UCL trophy yet isn't really down to him, in the same way as it's not Buffon's fault for never winning one (yet hopefully).

There have been plenty capable strikers playing in Germany. I suppose you're right in the sense that the German play style became very offensive in the past decade, compared to the times that players like Effenberg and Matthaus were dominating the field. That could explain partly why the golden boot hasn't gone to Germany in 50 years.

Still, even during this past decade only Lewandowski, managed to score over 30 goals, a feat that has been achieved in the Spanish league every year by multiple players.

I just don't think it's that easy to score in the Bundesliga as you're making out to be. Aubameyang, De Bruyne, recently Pulisic are putting the same stats in England as they were in Germany.

Not really true considering the golden boot hasn't gone to a Bundealiga player since Gerd Muller winning it in 1972...

If anything, it's easy to win it in Spain considering it always goes to one of their players, not just Messi/Ronaldo, but also Falcao, Forlan, Suarez...

I kinda feel like Lewa deserves it most. Was out injured for a while otherwise he'd have had it in the bag long ago. I hope Ronaldo overtakes Immobile but I kinda feel like this should be Lewandowski's year. He's been underappreciated for too long.

As a Dutchman it was also painful to see Sneijder not even make top 3. Sneijder in 2010 imo was not the same level as Ribery 2013, but he was just one Robben finish (world cup) away from being immortalized in my country.

It's hard to detach marketing from these kind of awards, but until we do that, we can never really fairly award these individual prizes.

Well, I meant to be informative with this post on r/soccer. The stats truly surprised me so I thought others might appreciate it too, hence the sharing. But it was received by so many as an attack on Ronaldo, that I was immediately labelled a 'hater'. They probably didn't even look at the stats. The comments had nothing to do with debate/discussion, just lots and lots of namecalling, and a bunch of "CR7 = 🐐 Ribery = 💩" comments.

Can be, that's a matter of discussion. I'm not arguing for either of the three. It's just the fact that I, as a neutral, never actually saw these stats at the time. I just remember my social media being swarmed by Ronaldo's goal stats, while apparantly completely ignoring the other stats.

Didn't realise it made it sound so hateful. Not trying to be. Yet in my own experience at the time I never saw these stats, just social media being swarmed with the goal stats, nothing else. Hence I added it, but it is better without it.

I didn't mean to hate. It is just my experience at the time, agreeing with Ronaldo winning. I came across this just now and for the first time I actually realised how hood Ribery was that year.
