Fernando Muslera

"Based on an initiative of the UEFA President, Michel Platini"? The man doesn't even know how to spell the word, let alone implement it

Messi & Cr7 for sure will be in top 3.. In Your opinion who will be the 3rd nominee??

Iniesta

1.Gagod 2&3 Ron and mezzi

cr7 anyday he does it without xaviesta

I don't see the point of this...Isn't this basically the same pre-FIfa Balon Dor era?

What's the point when it's the same player who wins the other trophy as well?

i am thinking about the disgraceful decision to not award Sneijder who was the best player in the world in 2009, and instead gave it to messi who didn't do shit compared to Sneijder.

It would be better if it was only for European players, so players like Sneijder, Rooney, Cristiano. RObben etc. have a chance to win.

pretty much a useless award if u ask me...

but he does it with 'Ozidane' and Di Maria

Maybe some ManU player, because they were in the final...

Van Der Sar because he retired? For a number 3 that is .

If Xavi and Iniesta make you better according to that logic then why didn't Villa score more than he did at Valencia?

I personally think Iniesta deserves a place in the top 3 above all overs, if not id like to see Vidic as defenders dont get the props they deserve.

Same shit as always.

Give it to Messi, and 2nd and 3rd will be a Madrid and Barca player.

still xaviesta gives you 80% possesion every game. cr7 would have 60 goals or more if he played with them. they are the true geniuses just look at spain and barcelona. then look at messi in argentina. FACT

1. They hardly ever has 80% possession

2. CR7 would fail in a posession game so no he wouldnt lol just like Messi would fail in Madrid's team

3. If you really think they have majority of possession due to 2 players then

4. Grow up and stop turning every thread you enter into CR7 v Messi

Messi would shine in a counter attacking team, he plays a quick game and has explosive acceleration, I don't see why he would fail there

The top 3 players for Ballon d'or will be the same top 3 players for this award, such a stupid award, platini is a retard.

Maybe a bit unfair, but he would'nt be as good as he is at Barca anyway.

Stupid award, it's pointless
