revealed tonight from the shortlist of Xavi, Iniesta and Messi
who do you think should win?
Tough one, but I'd like to see Xavi win it. While the other two (especially Messi) are fantastic individual talents, I've never seen any player, ever, control a game like Xavi. He is the key man in both the Barcelona and Spain sides.

It's a tough one, but on the basis that he pretty much orchestrated Spain's World Cup triumph I reckon Iniesta will win it. Although wouldn't want to put money on it.

I thought Sneijder would at least make the final 3

its based on votes by coaches and football journalists around the world, the FIFA world player and Ballon d'Or European player awards have now been merged.
Boogaloo - I agree Iniesta will probably get it because he scored the winning goal, but I would argue that Xavi is the orchestrator both for Spain and Barca.

If the question is who's the best player, then undoubtedly Messi.
If who's generally had the better year(s), then Xavi (I'd give it to him)
If who's had the most spectacular/standout year, then Iniesta.
If it's awarded with the commercial aspects in mind, then it's going to go to Iniesta or Messi, which is a shame, because Xavi's at the prime of his career and has probably been the world's most important player for their team(s) for a year or two now.

Messi is a good player though. Yeah, he's not bad. Not sure i'd have him ahead of Beano + Midson though |
