Sometimes, football just doesn't make sense
And The Best Fifa Awards have done a grand job of proving that.
It's hard to know where to start, but we'll have a go at dissecting exactly what went on in the strangest football awards, hosted by Idris Elba wearing a waistcoat emblazoned with Gareth Southgate's face.
What was even going on with the voting? Can anyone honestly make sense of it? We're going to try...
Is the Fifpro best XI REALLY the best 11 players?
Let's start with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah. He scored 35 Premier League goals last season and was named Fifa's third best male footballer, behind winner Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo.
So why was he not included in the World XI?
Then there's the inclusion of Manchester United's Spanish stopper David de Gea as the team's goalkeeper, even though he missed out to Thibaut Courtois for the individual keeper award.
And how has Paris St-Germain's injured right-back Dani Alves made it in again? The Brazilian has been selected in eight of the past nine teams, only missing out in 2014.
Any more decent right-backs out there? Hello? Anyone?
Of course, there are arguments for and against the inclusion of every member of the World XI team, but what The Best awards seemingly don't rely on is consistency.
Fifa has explained how the voting for the player and coach categories took place - national team captains, national team managers, selected journalists and, for the first time, an online poll of fans, with each accounting for 25% of the total.
But Fifa hasn't explained why Salah and Courtois only make the 2nd XI.
Fifpro - world football's players' union - released four 'reserve' teams in total, made up of the 44 players who didn't receive enough votes to make the first team.
The results are certainly interesting.
Arguably, the 2nd XI's front three of Neymar, Mohamed Salah and World Cup Golden Boot-winner Harry Kane would fit nicely into the World XI.
Kane did only receive 0.98% of the vote, though.
Did 2nd XI midfielder Paul Pogba, who was pivotal in France's triumph in the World Cup, deserve to make the cut ahead of Messi, who had a quiet tournament and exited at the last-16 stage?
And how about Kevin de Bruyne? The Manchester City man enjoyed a stellar season for the Blues on their road to the Premier League title but did not make the 1st XI.
He and fellow 2nd XI selection Kyle Walker were the only players from Manchester City's dominant side to make the first three teams in the FIFPro vote.
The 3rd XI is also a pretty solid looking side, with several strong World Cup performers in there, including Belgium's Manchester United forward Romelu Lukaku and Croatia midfielder Ivan Rakitic.
They'd certainly have an argument to at least make the bench for the Best XI team.
Tell us what you think at #bbcfootball
And was Salah's goal the best?
One of the biggest head-scratching moments from the ceremony was, no, not Ronaldinho's suspect choice in headwear or Eden Hazard's shiny red suit, but Mo Salah's goal in the Liverpool derby back in December winning the Puskas Best Goal Award.
Maybe even more amazingly, it got a whopping 38% of the public vote.
Sure, it's a decent enough effort from the Egyptian, but was it better than Gareth Bale's spectacular overhead kick in the Champions League final against Liverpool?
It didn't even win the Premier League Goal of the Month for December 2017, Jermain Defoe's did - that lovely volley from a tight angle, when he was playing for Bournemouth against Crystal Palace.
Fans voted Salah's shot the top goal out of a shortlist of 10, which also included Benjamin Pavard's sublime finish for France at the World Cup, Portuguese Ricardo Quaresma's outside-of-the-foot curler against Iran and Cristiano Ronaldo's aerial effort for Real Madrid against his new club Juventus in the Champions League.
Salah's Liverpool team-mate James Milner summed up the situation pretty perfectly in a single tweet.
The evergreen midfielder posted: "Congrats Mo Salah on your seventh best goal from last season winning goal of the year."

Sweden's Prime Minister Stefan Lofven will have to stand down after losing the support of parliament.
The anti-immigration Sweden Democrats (SD) backed the vote to remove him, weeks after a general election that delivered a hung parliament.
In Tuesday's dramatic vote, 204 MPs voted against Mr Lofven while 142 voted in favour.
Parliament's speaker will now propose a new leader - a process that could take weeks.
Mr Lofven is expected to stay on as caretaker prime minister while his replacement is decided.
What happens next?
Mr Lofven, the leader of the centre-left Social Democrats, came to power in 2014. His centre-left alliance won 144 seats in this month's election, one more than the centre-right opposition.Sweden Democrats tap immigration fears
Neither of the main blocs intends to govern with the nationalist SD, the third-largest party in the new parliament.But the job of prime minister could fall to Ulf Kristersson, leader of the Moderates. The new speaker, Andreas Norlen, who is also a member of the Moderates, was confirmed in the position on Monday with the support of SD.
While Mr Kristersson is widely seen as the person most likely to form a new government, others may be invited to do so if he fails - including Mr Lofven himself.
Shattering Swedish calm
The new face of the far-right in Europe
The splintered nature of the house makes securing a stable government tricky, because:The nationalist SD could break the stalemate, if one of the major blocs would negotiate with it
Mr Lofven's party has ruled out backing a minority government of his opponents, the Alliance bloc
Two of the four members of the Alliance say they will quit if it negotiates a deal with the SD
If there are four unsuccessful attempts to form a government, that will trigger fresh elections - something which has never happened before.What Has The Fallout Been?
Speaking after the vote, Mr Lofven, who is still the leader of the largest party, said he intended to work to form another government across the political divide.
"I see good opportunities to continue as prime minister," he said.
Mr Lofven said he did not believe that fresh elections were something voters wanted - but he said he would never support a government that relied on the SD.
Mr Kristersson said that a new government was needed - one with broad political support.
While the SD is expected to back the Moderate candidate, Mr Lofven warned the centre-right bloc on Tuesday against relying on the support of a party "founded by Nazis".
Who are the Sweden Democrats?
The SD is a nationalist, anti-immigration party which was linked to neo-Nazis and other far-right groups for years. It only entered parliament in 2010.
In the years since, it has become the third-largest party - a political success story.
Officially, it welcomes supporters from all backgrounds, but its history means it has been shunned by the mainstream political parties since it first won seats.
The SD has been keen to change its image. But there have been some unfortunate scandals, and several party members have been expelled in recent years for racist behaviour or links to right-wing groups.
Traditionally, its supporters have been working class men.
But the party won 18% of the vote in the recent general election - up from 13% four years ago - demonstrating a growing base in Sweden.

Review
RGB is all the rage lately. From peripherals like keyboards and mice to primary components like RAM and motherboards, it's RGB everything. RGB is so pervasive we knew it was only a matter of time before it lit up mainstream SSDs, too. Today, we take a look at Kingston’s latest creation from the company's high-performance HyperX division, the Fury RGB SSD.
The HyperX Fury RGB comes resplendent with a fully-controllable RGB light show and boasts up to 550/480 MB/s of sequential read/write throughput. But while the performance may seem impressive on paper, the specs don’t tell the entire story. Our testing found lackluster performance in real-world file transfers and productivity applications. Adding in a paltry three-year warranty and high pricing makes the drive hard to recommend, though some will probably find the shimmering RGB goodness too much to resist.
Verdict
RGB is all the rage these days and HyperX’s new Fury RGB looks amazing, but its performance just isn’t up to par. With so many impressive SSDs to choose from, we don't recommend the Fury RGB unless you are searching for the RGB aesthetics alone.
It's been almost four years since Kingston released a Fury SSD, so it’s overdue for an update. The Fury RGB has an attractive design that matches other HyperX gear, and it features controllable RGB lighting that is a nice addition to the value-minded product line. Seventy-five LEDs shine through two slits on the top of the case and the HyperX logo.
The Fury RGB comes equipped with a newer Marvell 88SS1074 controller, a nice step forward from its predecessors' SandForce 2281, and 64-layer BiCS3 TLC flash. The new HyperX Fury RGB has a whole lot of lighting bling, but the controller and flash pairing doesn't provide the grunt power to back it up.
Prices
1.Fury RGB 240GB [$74.99]
2.Fury RGB 480GB [$124.99]
3.Fury RGB 960GB [$219.99]
The Kingston HyperX Fury RGB is a SATA 6Gb/s SSD that comes in the 2.5” form factor with a 9.5mm Z-height (thickness). That's slightly thicker than most SATA SSDs, which tend to come in a 7mm-thick case. The extra thickness comes as a byproduct of the extra diffusion layer for the lighting apparatus.
The SSD comes in 240GB, 480GB, and 960GB models that are all rated for up to 550/480 MB/s of sequential read/write throughput. Kingston hasn't shared the Fury's random performance specifications yet, but we put them to the test on the following page. Prices weigh in at $74.99, $124.99, and $219.99, respectively. Kingston provides an Acronis True Image HD software activation key so you can clone your existing drive to the new one. You can also spend $15 more for an upgrade kit that includes a USB 3.0 enclosure, 3.5” bracket, mounting screws, and a SATA data cable.
HyperX’s Fury RGB comes with a three-year warranty and free technical support, but like most SSDs, it also comes with a write endurance restriction (listed above). The Fury has more endurance than the WD Blue 3D SSD and Crucial MX500, but less than the Samsung 860 EVO.

Ferrari is bringing back the V-6 for the first time since 1974 and, according to Chief Technical Officer Michael Leiters, hybridization is a big part of Maranello’s plans through 2022 when they plan to introduce the 488’s replacement, an even faster supercar and likely the new five-door Purosangue SUV.
Rumors regarding Ferrari’s reintroduction of its legendary Dino and, with it, the V-6 spring as far back as 2015, but little was heard from Ferrari on the subject since. Now, however, the Italian manufacturer has confirmed that a V-6 is in the works although it’s unclear what platform it will be mated with.
Ferrari offered some details about their plans over the next four years, underlining a clear desire for hybridization. The company is currently developing new mid- and front-engine platforms that welcome hybrid technology. “Ferrari will use hybridization to enhance performance and fun-to-drive,” Leiters pointed out. “We will also use it for fuel efficiency, obviously, but our main focus has to be performance and fun-to-drive.”
Given that the Italians want to see a 60-percent hybridization of their range by 2022, we can expect that many of the recently announced models will use hybrid technology. Enrico Galleria, who acts as Ferrari’s Chief of Marketing, told the press that plug-in hybrid technology will be first introduced on the front-engined cars that are part of the GT arm of the production line, as we’ve detailed previously in our Ferrari Monza coverage.
While we know that a fleet of new Ferraris are coming our way, with the earliest arrival scheduled for as early as next year, there is no LaFerrari replacement in the near future. We should look for a new top-tier, mid-engined thoroughbred to be set forth no sooner than 2023.
What We Know About Ferrari v-6
Ferrari had everyone drooling the other day when they pulled the wraps off of their new Monza SP1 and SP2 Barchetta sports cars that headline a new arm in their lineup known as Icona. Indeed, more limited-production Icona cars are slated to come in the near future, but the Prancing Horse’s plan is far-reaching for its 2018-2022 cycle.
Louis Camilleri, the new CEO of Ferrari, announced that 15 new models are in store for the next half decade whilst Chief Technical Officer Micheal Leiters was quoted as saying that “we will develop a totally new V-6 family based on a very, very particular, innovative architecture with plenty of innovations regarding technologies and components.”
With hybridization also a big part of Ferrari’s plans, it’s possible that the new V-6 will be a hybrid, but it’s unclear what platform it will power.
Ferrari said that their new platforms will welcome such technology and they also announced a new supercar that will sit above the 488 in terms of performance. We can safely assume that won’t be where we’ll find the V-6, so we’re still waiting for that entry-level Ferrari two-seater or an economical GT of sorts.Ferrari’s push is clearly towards a cleaner range and, with hybridization being one way to tackle that goal, another is the introduction of a smaller capacity engine.
Ferrari is also developing a new dual-clutch gearbox for its next-gen platforms that will also welcome AWD besides hybrid powertrains.
This doesn’t mean, however, that the Purosangue will be an all-out SUV like Lamborghini’s Urus. CEO Camilleri stated explicitly that he doesn’t like to hear the SUV letters spoken in the same phrase with the name of the company that he runs. It has to be, then, a Panamera-conquering roomy coupe akin to the Pinin prototype built in 1980 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pininfarina.There are, decidedly so, more questions than answers after Ferrari’s recent announcements, but a few things are certain: the V12 isn’t going away – although it might not be naturally-aspirated in the future – and if there will be a new V6-powered Ferrari it will never look as good as the Dino 246 GT of yesteryear.

Serena Williams says she wants to move on from her controversial US Open final defeat by Naomi Osaka.
In the final, the American was given a code violation for coaching, incurred a point penalty for racquet smashing and was docked a game for verbal abuse.
Williams denies she was being coached from the stands, despite her coach Patrick Mouratoglou saying he was sending her signals.
"I just don't understand what he was talking about," Williams said.
Williams, who was aiming to equal Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles, said she had not received any tactics from Mouratoglou, telling the umpire she would "never cheat to win and would rather lose".
Speaking to The Sunday Project on Australia's Network Ten, she added: "I asked him (Mouratoglou) 'what are you talking about you were coaching? We don't have signals, we've never had signals'.
"He said he made a motion. So I was like 'you made a motion and now you told people that you're coaching me - that doesn't make sense, why would you say that?'
"I was on the other side. I didn't see the motion. It was just a really confusing moment, I think, for him.
"What I'm trying to do most of all is to recover from that and move on."
Following the accusation of coaching, Williams was punished for racquet smashing and verbal abuse, following several outbursts that saw her call the umpire a "liar" and "thief".
Williams did not answer when questioned about whether she regretted breaking her racquet on the court.
Following the final she was fined $17,000 (£13,100) for the code violations.

Russia is to send new anti-aircraft missiles to Syria, a week after Syrian forces accidentally shot down a Russian aircraft during an Israeli air strike.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the S-300 surface-to-air missile defence system would be delivered within two weeks.
Fifteen Russian military personnel were killed when the reconnaissance aeroplane was downed on 17 September.
Syria and Russia say Israel was to blame, but it denies responsibility.
In remarks quoted by Russian news agency Interfax, Mr Shoigu said the delivery of the system had been suspended in 2013 following a request from Israel, but added: "Now, the situation has changed. And it's not our fault."
"In parts of the Mediterranean adjacent to Syria, there will be radio-electronic jamming of satellite navigation, onboard radars and communications systems used by military aircraft attacking targets in Syrian territory," he said.
What happened last week?
The incident is reported to have occurred about 35km (22 miles) from the Syrian coast as the Ilyushin Il-20 aircraft was returning to Russia's Hmeimim airbase near the north-western city of Latakia.Russia's Tass news agency said at the time that the plane "disappeared during an attack by four Israeli F-16 jets on Syrian facilities in Latakia province".
Reports on Syrian state media spoke of an attack in the area shortly before the plane disappeared. According to Sana news agency, the military said it had intercepted "enemy missiles coming from the open sea towards the city of Latakia".
Syrian television also reported explosions over the sky in Latakia just before 22:00 local time. Thirty minutes later, the Sana Facebook page reported that Syrian air defences had responded to enemy missiles.
What does Russia say?
On Sunday, Russia reiterated its stance that Israeli jets had used its reconnaissance plane as cover while carrying out strikes in Syria.The country's defence ministry said Israel had failed to give it adequate notice of the attack, putting the Russian aircraft in the path of Syrian air defence systems.
"The actions of the Israeli fighter pilots, which resulted in the loss of life of 15 Russian servicemen, either lacked professionalism or were an act of criminal negligence, to say the least," a ministry spokesman said.
Israel maintains that indiscriminate fire from Syrian forces was to blame for the incident.
In a statement on Sunday evening, the Israel Defense Forces said that figures in the Russian military had been clear "that the deconfliction mechanism worked and did so in a timely manner".
