Yaya Toure is throwing a fit after not winning African player of the year. Threw a fit when Manchester City didn't wish him a happy birthday too didn't he?
The annoying part in that article was the failed attempt to drag Messi and Ronaldo comparisons into it to justify it.

Messi won all the trophies yet Ronaldo is Ballon D'or

Which would be ok if it was true. Failing to note Madrid won both the Champions League and copa del rey to Barcelona's Spanish Super cup. Also forgetting Ronaldo was European top scorer and won the European Super cup in the lead up to the award.
Naturally given Barcelona's trophy wins in the season gone it makes sense Messi would regain the crown this year. It seems Yaya thinks they should give out the award every time a trophy changes hands and not at the turn of the year
