#4 - The Ballon d'or special

Episode #4 is all about the Ballon d'or. In our conversation we talk about the controversy around this year's winner. On the GOAT himself.  Which era was Messi's best era? Who missed out on a Ballon d'or because of football's greatest rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo?

We went back to the past, discussed the greatness of Cruijff, Pele, Maradona. How do they compare to footy's current greats? Who's the next best? 

Finally, we introduced a new segment where Frankie Flo quickly brings us up to speed on what's happening in the MLS. 

We hope you enjoy our conversation. Please rate and review this podcast. And tell a friend to tell a friend about the realest footy podcast out here.
