as for winning the Ballon d'Or, Messi won't win it in 2012, so I dunno why you'd suggest that. after all the fuss that people raised over him winning it in 2010, there's no way the journos will vote for him in the year of the Euros. he may get the players vote, because he will still be the best player in the year, but I doubt that will push him over the line.
it'll go like this:
2011: Messi
2012: Özil or Iniesta or Sneijder (depends who wins the Euros)
2013: Messi
2014: Messi (after he guides Argentina to World Cup glory
)

How's that army you are raising to commit genocide in another country doing?
The glory of the two countries that turned football from a primitive English game into a way of life is more important than your damn pattern!

hey, I ain't sayin' it won't be in Argentina & Uruguay (it should be), I'm just sayin' the Italians are gonna win it!
also doi, I can't count. it's 2028 and 2032, there is no 100 year anniversary World Cup. the 100 year anniversary falls on the year of a Euros.
2014: Brazil
2018: Russia
2022: Qatar
2028: China
2032: Argentina/Uruguay

maybe 2032 will be Italy, then. especially as it's not a centenary World Cup anyway, so no need to worry about it not being in Argentina/Uruguay.

altho good luck convincing Argentina to co-host and NOT have the Final.
sure, they'll have the Opener, one of the semi's and the 3rd place game, but not the Final. can't see the AFA signing up for that, can you?
Well I bet Argentina is going to try and convince Uruguay to have the opener in exchange for the finals, that's the biggest threat to the whole thing TBH, the eternal Argentine ego.
Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that Uruguay needs centre billing. Even the AFA can't be that dumb...can it?
Based on what I've heard so far it sounds like Argentina understands they are secondary here. I think any excuse to get investment is welcome really.
Also, hopefully they keep this sweet logo, since it works for both teams anyway.

I would be amazed if Argentina willingly took second billing. maybe if Uruguay agreed to let them have the lion's share of investment and games (which makes sense, tbh, given the sizes of the countries) they would be cool? I dunno. I don't put any level of stupidity above the AFA. they're nuttier than rat crap at a pistachio factory.
but it would be awesome if they took second billing.
and that logo is sexy.
