Hodgson blanked Ronaldo and Messi in Ballon d'Or voting

England coach Roy Hodgson failed to vote for Cristiano Ronaldo nor Lionel Messi in the Ballon d'Or poll.

Real Madrid star Ronaldo won his third Ballon d'Or last night ahead of Barcelona's Messi.

Instead, Hodgson plumped for Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano as the world's best player of 2014.

Hodgson's other choices were Germany duo Philipp Lahm and Manuel Neuer.
