Ballon d'Or Shortlist

[stefan9]

Coach of the year must be Pep Guardiola, not only did his players win the league, Barcelona won the WC! - I hate Barcelona...

Mourinho won the treble, first an italian did this. He also beat pep when it mattered.

As to the other debate. It should be sneijder since this should be based on the whole season. There is no doudt messi is the more talented but for last season sneijder out played him, especially when it really mattered. Go and check with zanetti if he has allowed messi out of his pocket.

On the list itself for me its an absolute joke that klose and gyan are nominated but milito isn't. Sure he shouldn't win it but he should be at least nominated, had a much better season overall then them.

Klose had a shocker of a season. he shouldn't even be there!

Iniesta? Really?

OK... if we're gonna play it that way... my picks are...

1. Drogba
2. Ashley Cole (coz.. y'know he has magic powers n schit)
3. C. Ronaldo (because he is better than Messi)

Manager of the Year : Ancellotti. Only because he won the double. I mean y'know - that's like the pinnacle of a manager's career.

Iniesta may not be that far fetched. He did score the world cup winning goal and if you look at the list you can clearly see that world cup performances carry a lot of weight.

That's all well and good, but if everything is taken into account then it would be a travesty of justice if Sneijder didn't win it.

Ya I say Iniesta for the best dives of the World Cup tournament!
