... goes to Messi. It's sad for Xavi but it is an individual award after all.
The vote of van bommel kills me:

Imperialist? No. I am leading the dictatorship of the proletariat; the world revolution of the oppressed workers against the money hungry capitalist swine and their thieving ilk. |

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." ;) (10 points for the first person who identifies who's misquote this was).
And although I expected Xavi to win, Messi's goal haul made him an equally valid candidate for the award. |

It's the opening line of A Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.
And I'm glad Messi won, despite FIFA's inevitable hype-mongering over the World Cup. He's clearly the best player in the world. |

| I'm a messi fan while he plays for Barca, however, I wouldn't quite go as far as saying he's the best player in the world. Iniesta and Xavi equally deserved this but Messi has a greater world influence and is loved more so then Iniesta, Xavi, Sneijder, Kaka, and the likes of some of great players around the world. Messi is doing so much for world awareness that it's only fitting for him to receive an iconic award. I don't hear much about the others outside of the pitch. |

| Iniesta and Xavi are undoubtedly great players, but neither of them could score 40+ goals in a season. Scoring goals is the hardest skill in football and it's goals that win games. I think Messi could probably do everything Xavi and Iniesta can do - he's a Barca youth product and he's just as fluent in the art of passing and moving. He's also capable of providing fantastic assists, as he showed in the recent Clasico. Messi could play in midfield in those roles, but Xavi and Iniesta couldn't play his role. |
