The ten year duopoly on the Ballon d'Or has been broken by Modric, which is praise indeed for a model player who conducts the team from midfield.

I'm not sure as to how many consecutive games Harry Kane has failed to score for England, but it had to be yesterday when the Spurs player bucked this trend.
