b4 nko who dem 4give am? that messi boy deserve to win everything cos him no get rival despite the fact say i no be baca fan but that guy is just something else joor. congrats

l will like 2 state that it is an insult on football for anybody 2 compare any player with merciless MESSI.l dont think most pple watch spanish league at all.they re obviously glue to epl.Messi is 2nd to none in d HISTORY of football.He is goin 2 win it 3 more times except injury sideline him.no player has d kind of skill and football sense messi have.
The award is for BEST player not who won d most trophies in d yr under review,not the best player in d world cup(guess they did that at the end of wc)We re talking abt a player u will never be tired of watching,a night mare to any team.
For his country nt 2 hv reach d semis in wc and he still won footballer of d yr shows hw good he is.Messi is an exceptional player hence he could break that record.if wc is d yard stick then spain coach wud hv been d best coach of d yr

lest l forget were re those nairalander that said rooney is better than messi.l guess they re asleep.d problem wth most pple is that, they follow only epl, and any player that destroy their epl team in cl automatically becomes their enemy

MESSI DESERVES IT.HE IS D BEST EVER

i thought we'd heard all these 'greatest of all time' 'out of this planet' just less than 7 years ago, with Ronaldinho. Where is he now? Ronaldinho was not tested in a world cup b4 giving him d world best, hence d result. In d land of d blind, u know the rest,

nothing lasts forever, nearly a decade ago Ronaldinho seemed like he would reign forever

Thumbs up to messi, BARCA FOR LIFE TILL I DIE, anyone wey no like the idea make he go hug transformer,

Fifa is bleeped!!! Wesley S. deserves to win d award cos he played 4 finals and won 3. Wat else can 1 ask 4?

do you and your likes need to go back to KINDERGARTEN school to understand that NOT fifa but coaches and captains have always given this award from way back?

coaches and captains who were so mesmerized by Messi's 'performance' they threw objectivity out of the window >>> Xavi & Sneijder were more deserving of the title than Messi

Messi is the best no doubt.Amazing ball movement and lethal in front of goal.the guy is a genius.

utmost nonsense.rubbish

if itz about style okocha would have been nominated and not about goals suarez would have won it last season but itz what u achieved with i.t xavi deseave it

Of course I don't agree, there were better players. And this is a world cup year, but congratz to him.
