Sadly no ….if taxes , German real world politics and international „financial politics in football“ won’t change , the development of German football won’t get better

All of these guys were born before 1967, i.e. before the german birthrate plummeted. Short answer is no. If you have less kids you have less great talents.

This is only marginally related to Borussia and was immediately used to shoehorn Malthusian doomerism into this sub, I won’t take the bait!

Is it really domination? Barely any German on the list and only 2 of the entries are on German teams ?

Yes

Forget about German players! We actually have an AMERICAN in the rankings, that’s heresy!
An englishman is bad enough already.
But yeah, probably is for quite some time.

Dominante is relative. Without Messi and CR7, 2010-2014 would have look like this. Lewandowski, Robben, Ribery, Toni Kroos, Neuer, Mats, young Götze, Aubameyang all could have won 1 or 2 Ballon d’Ors.
Bayern won the CL once and was 2 twice in the finals, we were the most exciting team in Europe and the national team won in Brazil. Like in 1990 and 1996 Lodda and Sammer.

Possibly, doesn’t seem likely anytime soon though with the direction football is moving currently

Ballon d’or 2025 an Premiere.

90s Football was totally dominated by Italien Football

That’s not football dominating. Ballon d’Or is a popularity award. Even if german players were to be the best, they’d still have to overcome Premier League and La Liga PR.
