Does Casillas vote for Ramos just because they're mates, or for a laugh?

Some of the votes are blatantly piss takes

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stevie Me went for Xabi Alonso in third? I'd like to laugh at that but it's not quite so stupid as it would seem.

I would imagine Casillas did it for a laugh, or just to cause trouble for Mourinlol, in the same way Casillas didn't accept the armband from Ronaldo last night when he offered it to him.

Thomas Danilevicius of Lithuania's choices:

Zlatan, Wazza and Pique.

What a maverick.

I'm sure some are told to vote for complete randomers just to spread out the votes, and make sure everyone gets at least one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's great reading the full list, it reminds me of countries I never knew existed during the Olympic Parade.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I don't care and don't understand why anyone else would. All that matters is what happens on the pitch, awards like this are akin to judging in figure skating.

I only care because it's funny to see Ronaldo crying about it.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Well, there is that.

It gives us something to talk about.
