The Ballon d'Or will go to Mbappé because of PR.

There is not a single doubt in any objective person's mind that Kane is the best football player in the world, his competition is Mbappé which isn't close at all to him as you can see in the picture I attached. But I'm starting to see that the general opinion on social media is that Mbappé deserves it, which worries me because social media shows the public's opinion and shows what might happen in the ceremony. There needs to be more campaigning for Kane's Ballon d'Or now, not later, I have seen this same story with our players many times and it shouldn't happen again.

People who say Kane only statpads against small teams should not be putting Mbappe in Ballon d'or conversations.

Mbappe's 3 Golden boots are impressive, bit let's see how he won it: He scored 4 goals against Olympiacos and 3 goals against a team from Kazakhstan, both in the league phase. World Cup Golden boot he won by scoring a brace in a useless 3rd place match where both teams played without passion and hunger. If Kane is statpadding, then that's definitely statpadding too. I find this whole argument to be stupid, because I think both Kane and Mbappe are amazing and deliver in the big games (Kane vs Real Madrid, PSG, DR Congo and Mbappe vs Bayern Munich, Paraguay, Morocco) but it feels like double standards to apply this criticism to one player while sparing another. If you're to criticise Kane for not scoring vs Argentina, you should critisise Mbappe for not scoring vs Spain too. In the end it comes down to whether you value 73 goals or 3 golden boots the most but please stop this "Kane statpads against small teams" narrative, Mbappe does it too.
