Not that he deserves it. The Balon D'or isnt "Who won the most trophies in a year", maybe we should put Muntari in there aswell. Has Sneijder been compared with Maradona and Pele this year? No. Did Sneijder have a good World Cup? Not really, he got a few lucky goals and went missing in the group stages and final. Common misconception that he did. You cant really take these awards seriously when someone like Gyan is on the list. One month of football apparently counts for the entire year. B.S.
I'd like Xavi to win, because he deserves it as much as Messi, but realistically, there should only be one winner of this award, and that's Messi.

It's not though is it? Has Sneijder played better than Messi this year? No. He's won more trophies, but that doesnt mean he as an individual has played better than Messi. And that's what the Balon D'or is. Which player played the best for the entire year. Messi was fantastic all last season, and he's been equally as ridiculous for the first 3 months of this season. Sneijder hasnt. He was fucking brilliant last year, but he didnt play great the WC (I dont care about that though because I dont think it should be judged on a month of football) but as good as he was last season, as many trophies as he won, Messi still played better than him. Was anyone labelling Sneijder the best footballer in the world last year? No. Messi was getting the comparisms to Maradona, and Pele. He hasnt played particuarly great under Benitez either this season (although that's hard considering Benitez is a complete moron).

Mess was crap in the WC by his own (and everyone ) standards and non existing in the CL semi final...
He wins golden boot for his goals not WPOY award
so no .. this the two biggest occasions Sneijder won the treble and reached the final... there is no comparison Sneijder was a lot superior than messi .
Award is called player of the year not talent of the year..
Between Xavi and Sneijder.. Messi is trailing with a distance

I could not agree more. It will be between Xavi and Sneijder.

Of course Messi was better, but only in the league. Sneijder and Xavi were the stars of teams that won two of the biggest trophies in football.

so basically this is a "fifa will award x player instead of x because of trophies/wc"

i still think messi should win because he was awesome... wouldn't say he was non existant in CL semi

but i have no doubt either xavi or iniesta will win

Doubt it. Definitely not Iniesta. Iniesta was injured half the season last year there's no way he's getting it. It's between Xavi and Sneijder. I think Sneijder has more of a chance because he contributed a lot to his team winning the CL and reaching the finals of WC. Xavi won WC but only reached Semi's in CL. It's certainly a close call but I think it would be given to Sneijder as much as I want Xavi to win it.

You mean the agent fees we paid for Joe Cole, Poulsen, Meireles, Konchescky etc ?, because they were Roy Hodgson buys. The only player Benitez signed in 2009 was Maxi.

xX House of Flies for the win Xx

Which is correct, cole had a 6 mill signing on fee himself alone which is too much for someone who is garbage and media hyped.

lol, everybody know that that was a final between inter and barca in the semis, xavi won the world cup and the winner will definitley come from the team that won it. so its up to xavi, ineista or casillas/villa. messi should be in the running but he is not.
its gonna go:
1.xavi
2.snijder
3. ineista
