If FIFA (or France futbol idk who makes these awards) were going to allow Leo to win the Puskas they would have nominated the GOLAZO against Merda in the semi final...

The Puskas award?
Personally I'm voting for Messi, mainly because I love him and I'm biased as fuck...

Good stuff. The lunch part might seem trivial and non-important but Pep realizes even more so than other coaches that a team can only function if everyone know each other personally. It certainly shows on the field that Barca is a team that works perfectly together with little to none of the insider drama, tension and ego-mania that plagues other teams.
Where do you get all the team statistics?

I just realised that Messi is Argentina's captain. Which means he has given his vote for the Ballon d'Or as well for the first time. I'd really like to know who did he vote for. Probably Xavi and Iniesta. But Xavi first? Or Iniesta? And who could be the third? Am very curious.

1. Dani Alves 2. Xavi 3. Iniesta
maybe. I dunno.
if you're not allowed to vote for your team-mates, he'll probs go for:
1. Kun 2. Gonzo 3. Ronaldinho
