This puts the balloon's statistics at a mindblowing 1 goal in 5 minutes. A statistic that rivals Rafael da Silva's hot-dogging rate on a Friday night.
Liverpool fans are naturally irate and point out that not only were Sunderland fielding 12 players at the time (if you include the balloon- 13 if you include the referee) but that the balloon was actually in an off-side position at the time the ball was played to it.
Critics are saying the move to nominate the balloon are premature, underserving, and that the balloon was actually a "beach-ball" not a balloon as comentators first announced.
However, Balloon D'Or nominators point out that the "Balloon" part of their name is to be taken loosely- pointing out that last year's winner, Christiano Ronaldo was selected because, like a balloon he was a big over-inflated bag of hot-air.
