FIFA Awards

The final shortlists have been made.

FIFA Ballon d’Or
Lionel Messi
Andres Iniesta
Xavi

FIFA Coach of the Year
Jose Mourinho
Pep Guardiola
Vicente Del Bosque

Announcement Date: January 10th 2011

I think Sneijder should be ahead of Iniesta, otherwise, both lists are fine to me.

YESSSSSSSSS.

That means Sneijder can't win.

Messi deserves it.

Messi and Mourinho.

To have 3 players from the same club just isn't right. Also I agree wheres Sneijder? Surely he did better than Xavi & Iniesta?

Iniesta is largely there for his winning WC goal. Had he not scored that, Sneijder would have probably made the shortlist.

Anyone but messi. Mourinho for the COTY.

I'm a bit confused.

I was lead to believe by several journalists that Hodgson's achievement with Fulham was one of the best in the world?

More Anti-English shite from FIFA?

Iniesta
Xavi

Messi and Del Bosque.

Messi & Mourinho.

Personally I reckon a Barca player will win Ballon d'Or

That's a tough call. Odds are 16/1.

This.

Iniesta has already won it apparently, which is ridiculous.

Either that or the aforementioned journalists are full of shite.

Oughta. If 47 goals and a treble aren't good enough, wtf?

Ronaldo

Ronaldo's Mum

Got to be Messi and Guardiola

Do journalists vote?

Don't get how Iniesta got in there, he did only a handful of outstanding things in the whole season

Wasn't iniesta injured for like half of last season?

Yeah, yet he's still won it apparently.

The announcement is in January. How did he already win it?

Italian Press, that's why I say apparently.

I'm calling bullcrap.

Meh, they called the nominees spot on so I don't see why it is.

Fucking ridiculous.

Iniesta ahead of Sneijder? Iniesta was out for months and only scored in the world cup final. Sneijder won the treble and was joint top scorer at the WC.

1st Diego Milito is robbed of a place in the Top 25, and now Sneijder.

Barca weren't even the best team last year.
