FIFA’s ‘The Best’ awards are here, crowning the top talents in the beautiful game. The undisputed leaders of football will be named today, ending all debate for another year. No arguments, no discussion. If only.

The finalists have been named, and Donald Trump cannot win this one.

For some reason that only Johnny Infantino knows (and I’m not trying to get into his brain), some of the awards have been announced already. The rest will be revealed later at the ceremony in *checks notes* Qatar.
