Episode 2203: The Mo Show, Ballon B’ore, Ropey Times For Rafa, Communism Infiltrates The PL

But were the France Football voters really that far off the mark?
Still angry about the Ballon D’Or? Maybe you’ll chill out once you realize who the voters are and what the criteria are (especially things like “career achievement” and “talent”). And maybe you’ll treat this for what it is: a spectacle, not an MVP award.https://t.co/Ezs3MXQvwE
