Ballon d'Or 2014 - who voted for who

The strange world of Ballon d'Or voting - Guardian

A few interesting take-aways -

1. The top 2 players in the world refused to acknowledge each other with their votes. Ronaldo has Sergio Ramos as the world's best player. Seriously?

2. Roy Hodgson voted for Javier Mascherano and Phillip Lahm as his top two. Enough said.

3. There is a link in the article (click here) to the full voting results on FIFA's website. You'll want to download this if you're a football fan (yes, we call it football around here, not soccer).

4. Malaysia's captain and coach didn't vote.

5. Singapore's coach voted for Manuel Neuer and Thomas Muller as his top two. Patriotic chap, he is.
