As a barca fan i couldn't be happier to know that the 3 best player is playing for the team i love..
But IMHO sneijder should be at least worthy to be top 3.. Cut him some slack guys, he led inter to the treble and was part of the WC finals, and a joint top scorer too..
Yet still Xavi is going to win it so, hardly any damage done i guess..
Iniesta has been playing some breathtaking football but he was sidelined a good half of the year..so
1 xavi
2/3 messi/sneijder
will be more fair..just my 2 cents..
i still love barca

Sneijder could've been picked, but as pyroboy said, there's not so much to dispute either. Xavi as we know have been pulling strings for both Barca and Spain not only 1 year, but for the past several years, consistently. Iniesta's season was marred by injuries, but otherwise his season was also good, especially for this term, and his WC. Messi, well, considering how legends and fellow professionals have been hailing him for the past year or so, no wonder that so many voters picked him, like VDB.
However, the downside of our all conquering nomination is, there are no significant discussion on the internet. Feels like the award has been reduced to "Barca d Or", and only Cules are interested to took part in the debate, not even the writers/journalists
