montelik:

This is the same thing they did when denying Sneidjer and Henry. Honestly I wish they would separate the Ballon Dor from WPOTY, at least it would give more variety and opinions. FIFA's WPOTY award for me is too open to politics and campaigning for me.
Denied? Sneijder wasn't even awarded Serie A best player in 2010, are you aware?
Diego Milito bagged both the best foreign player award and the best player award in 2010.

Milito was more instrumental to Inter that season than Sneijder.

In the world cup, Diego Forlan emerged player of the tournament.
So why the noise about Sneijder? He wasnt exceptional.

Do not say things just because others say it. Let facts and stats speak.

Do Ʊ knw anything about football at all? FIFA dont chose d world best footballer, coaches and captains of clubs and national teams do plus representatives frm media frm memeber countries. You can actually get d list of who voted for who, its nt a secret system of voting and dnt ask me for d link, use google.

They played in the best teams, but they weren't brought up in the team. Da lima wasn't brought up in barca, zidane wasn't brought up in Juve or Madrid, so was raul, del piero etc.
Messi has been in barca since he was a kid.

(2) Messi was better than Ronaldo in everything, from goals to assists to completed passes.

(3) Ronaldo won the league cos Madrid was better than Barca last season, not because Ronaldo played better or was even as good as Messi.
Madrid had Benzema and Higuain who scored more than 20 goals each, and Ozil whohad the highest assist in Laliga. The league was team success.

Individually, Messi had the better season. The stats confirm this, and the football experts who voted endorsed it.

merengue: Too many idiots on this thread. If you feel Messi needs to leave Barcelona to prove himself, tell SAF, Casillas, Totti, Giggs, Terry, Scholes and co to also go prove themselves elsewhere. Also tell your fathers to go bang some other chicks and get them pregnant, after all, they have proven themselves worthy by getting your mothers pregnant and begetting you dummies.

Re: Lionel Messi Wins Ballon D'or Award by Nobody: 1:10pm On Jan 08, 2013
logica: If this, if that. Blah blah blah. Deal with the realities. Ronaldo de Lima's era is gone. Ronaldinho's era is gone. This is Messi's era. Each of those Greats briefly had their era overlap; but they each dominated their era. Only de Lima had to contend with Zizou (Zidane).
Messi's era lacks top talent compared to Zidane's era, if we had those kind of talents now, especially if they played in a simple "tiki-taka" football style like messi currently does, messi won't have nothin on them.
Mind you, da lima had to contend with the likes thierry Henry, shevchenko, ronaldinho, zidane, lampard, ballack, gerrard etc
logica:
Each of them had elements that built them up. de Lima was built up by playing Beach Football. That built up his stamina and pace. That's why the world had never seen a player dribble while running so fast.

Ronaldinho got his skills from playing Futsal from a tender age. That built up his close ball control and ability to use confined spaces. That's why you see him wriggle free from seemingly tight spaces when cramped by defenders.
Both de Lima and Ronaldinho were lucky to be in the same great Brazilian team that won the WC in 2002. That team of course also had the great Rivaldo! It would've been sacrilege if that team didn't win the WC. Teams win trophies, not individuals. By the way, de Lima's other "win" was in 1994 when he spent the entire tournament on the bench! How dare de Lima step on the pitch with the likes of Romario Farias controlling affairs!

They were all lucky one way or the other too; just like Messi.

You don't get my point. If messi didn't grow in the barca system, he wouldn't have been this great. If another club, say arsenal, had bought him from the youth team like they did to fabregas, he would've been just another good footballer. However, due to the fact that he remained at the club, was injected with growth hormones, grew in the system with discipline and professionalism, perfected his goal scoring skills etc he became exceptional due to these factors, which wouldn't have been if he weren't at the club.
The same thing happened to thierry Henry.

Oahray:
Sneijder was in an inter team that performed excellently from attack to defence. Google his stats (passes, assists and whatever else a midfielder is supposed to do) for that season, compare with his team mates both in country and club, and judge for yourself.

Xavi was in a Barca and Spanish team performed excellently from attack to defence, but he was in the final three contenders for the Ballon D'Or in 2010, while sneijder wasn't.
Tell me exactly what Xavi did in 2010 aside winning the world cup that sneijder didn't do?

You're just a fanboy ranting all around NL. Try and visit other sports sites to see what good sports analysts have to say about the FIFPro XI. La Liga and EPL are not the only league in Europe.

The FIFPro XI just showed how f.u.ck.ed up fifa's credibility is.

sneijder was the best player in 2009/10 season....he won the treble and single-handedly took holland to the final of the world cup. his goals and contribution that season is unparalleled. however, messi would always appeal to the romantics. messi's story is the modern cinderella story. a boy that was told would not make it in football because of his growth hormones and later went on to become planet's best player. his background is much better than ronaldo's - ronaldo is the arrogant twit, he's handsome, makes loads of money - who would vote for such?

I'd overlook your attempt to appeal to emotion, and the statement about Sneijder 'single-handedly' taking Holland to the final. No real football fan who knows football would say that about anybody.
Did you also mention unparalleled goals and contribution that season? He was not even Inter's best player that season.

I have 3 questions for you, don't be afraid to google it and post the answers here.

(1) Who was awarded the best player in the 2009/2010 UEFA Champions League tournament?

(2) Who was awarded the best Serie A player of the 2009/2010 season?

(3) Who won the Golden ball of the 2010 worldcup tournament?

The criteria you come up with is so funny. In the early years of the European Cup, 90% of players were home grown and given Real's dominance of that era, it easily flogs Man U. Now lets limit it to the period between 2000-2012 (Two UCLs each). These are players who made U.C.L appearances only. I assume we can also add academy players who have won it elsewhere as well within this period.

REAL MADRID

2001/2002 U.C.L Squad had 12 homegrown players http://www.worldfootball.net/team_einsaetze/real-madrid/champions-league-2001-2002/

1999/2000 U.C.L squad had 10 homegrown players http://www.worldfootball.net/team_einsaetze/real-madrid/champions-league-1999-2000/

Juan Mata (Chelsea 2012)

TOTAL = 23

MANCHESTER UNITED

1998/1999 U.C.L Squad had 8 homegrown players http://www.worldfootball.net/team_einsaetze/manchester-united/champions-league-1998-1999/

2007/2008 U.C.L Squad had 9 homegrown players http://www.worldfootball.net/team_einsaetze/manchester-united/champions-league-2007-2008/

TOTAL = 17

So even based your own flawed criteria, Man United sucks Real Madrid's nuts. Now be a good little boy, apologize and go play with Momma's breasts okay? E.O.D!!!!!!
