Fairness interrogation of the Women s Football Golden Globe Awards, "Information Cocoon" has become the biggest obstacle to awards

Written by Hanbing The winner of the Women's Champions League and the Women's European Cup was actually lost to a competitor who only won the domestic championship in the Golden Globe Awards? The 2025 Golden Globe Awards Ceremony that just ended: English player Russo, who won the Women's Champions League and Women's European Cup, only won the third place, while Bonmati, who only won the Spanish domestic trio, achieved three consecutive championships with his huge scoring advantage in winning the award for two consecutive years.

such awards controversy, at the moment when European and American women's football sports are booming, highlights the "information cocoon" effect in the field of women's football world awards. Today, the men's football Golden Globe Awards have used the unprecedented information disclosure and transparency of big data and social media platforms to make the judges' judgment basis more objective; while the women's football world is still in the "information cocoon" that values ​​players' fame more - compared with the big data basis for men's football awards and the objectivity and transparency of the public opinion environment, there is roughly a 15-year time difference.

Ironically, in this Women's Football Golden Ball Awards, the best club belongs to Arsenal, who won the Women's Champions League championship. The best coach and best goalkeeper both came from the England team that won the Women's European Cup. However, as the double champion of the Women's Champions League and Women's European Cup, the English striker Russo became the only "loser". What is more noteworthy is that when the result of Bonmati's election for the Women's Golden Ball Award was announced, her teammate Caldendee in the Spanish Women's Football Team also showed disappointment.

Last summer, Carldende transferred to Arsenal, not only won the double best player title last season selected by the Women's Premier League official and the Player Union, but also defeated former club Barcelona in the Women's Champions League final to win the championship, achieving four consecutive championships in the Women's Champions League; in the Women's European Cup final, she also scored a goal, and Bonmati missed a penalty at the time, causing the team to lose the championship.

Bonmati's personal data is also not advantageous. Last season, she played 58 games, contributed 20 goals and 16 assists, and directly participated in 36 goals, of which the women's football team scored only 4 goals in the Champions League, and the women's football team only scored 1 goal in the semi-final overtime to eliminate the German team; while in the Champions League, Russo and Cardende were tied for the Silver Boots (7 goals each). Both of them scored goals in the Women's Football League finals - both of them were better than Bonmati in both the number of goals and key game performance.

Specifically, look at personal data: last season, Caldende played 56 games, contributed 23 goals and 20 assists, directly participated in 43 goals, and held the women's football Champions League championship; Russo played 56 games, earned 25 goals and 9 assists, directly participated in 34 goals, and also won the European double championship between the club and the national team. Whether in terms of personal data or team honors, Russo and Caldende are more qualified to win the Golden Globes than Bonmati. But the final result is that Bonmati, who has no advantages in personal data and team honors, completed three consecutive championships in the Women's Football Golden Ball Awards, and also continued the record of Barcelona's female football players in this award. The controversial result of the women's football Golden Globe Awards is very similar to the controversiality of the first FIFA men's football Golden Globe Awards in 2010. Sneijder won the triple-champion championship with Inter Milan, including the Champions League, and also entered the World Cup final with the team and shared the World Cup Golden Boot with others. At the same time, Xavi and Iniesta were the absolute core of the World Cup champion Spain, but Messi, who finally won only La Liga championship and European Golden Boot, won the trophy. The controversy over the women's football Golden Ball Awards this time: although Messi's team performance was at a disadvantage, at least his personal data showed a cliff-like lead, but Bonmati didn't even have an advantage in personal data. Although European and American women's football sports have shown a blowout in recent years, relying on the big data platform's personal data of female football players has not been fully displayed and discussed in-depth by the media and social media platforms like the men's football field.

The judges of this year's Golden Globe Awards are media people from the region where the top 100 Football Association teams are located. However, the gap in strength between the women's football teams is far greater than that of the men's football teams. The judges still rely more on the reputation of players when judging awards. Some people may use Bonmati as the "basis for her award" on the grounds that she won the best player in the Women's Champions League and the Women's European Cup last season, but in these two competitions, her personal data and team honors are ultimately inferior to those of Russo and Caldende. This kind of subjective impression over objective basis is as difficult to convince everyone, just like the results of this Women's Football Golden Globe Award.

As the continued vigorous development of European and American women's football sports, when the media and fans conduct more full coverage and discussion on the big data of female football players, the selection of important individual awards for the future women's football will also be more objective, fair and convincing as this year's men's football Golden Ball Awards. But obviously, this requires time to accumulate.
