England Wallow As Spain Dominate Ballon d’Or Shortlist
With their individual World Cup exploits taken into account, it should come as little surprise that England as a nation have absolutely no representation on this year’s Ballon d’Or shortlist, failing to provide a single player for inclusion on the 23-man list of nominees.
