A happy Monday to you all.

Welcome to Football America.

Look, yes, he is here.

He is actually here.

Gab Marcotti in the studio with us.

So obviously it's a special day,

not only because Gab's here, Ballandor.

We have an official winner, Janusz Mikhailik.

Hercules Gomez, because Usman de Mele,

the winner made me a surprise for some

because we know La Miniamal was also in there.

You were kind of pushing for Usband De Bele last season.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Three months ago. These

these

awards sometimes get muddled in the opinion of the people because they want to go who

it's the best footballer. Well, Messi would win it every single year. It's who had the best

year and then Belay had the best year individually, collectively,

both club and country, fighting for trophies. It wasn't a surprise to me that he won. It

would have been a very big surprise if Al-Mal won for me. The voting as well and how it went.

Bedri being out of top ten is insane. Agreed. That's something that's crazy to me. But I've got no issue with Dembele winning the Maloondor. Gab, thoughts? I'm not a full-on-cary Belondor, Peter. But I can point out of all the flaws in it. But I am happy. In fact, in my view, what they should do with the Bandoor to make it, this is more in the

Messy Ronaldo era, just make it so that you can only win it once. And that way, we see who's got the chops and you open it up. It's kind of like, you know, you come and getting a member she's getting, see it in the Walk of Fame. Yeah, because otherwise it's a popularity confidence and then the Muppets I'll keep voting for it or whatever but with DEMBETI I'm happy
