Where's Pirlo!!!!!
I didn''t realise it's the players that vote for the award for Ballon D'or. I though it's just managers and FIFA staff. Surprised then that Pirlo was not voted more.
The Fifa Pro was voted for by fans. Mainly Spanish, by the looks of it.
The break down of Ballon D'or votes is:
1) Lionel Messi (ARG), 41,60%
2) Cristiano Ronaldo (POR), 23,68%
3) Andrés Iniesta (ESP), 10,91%
4) Xavi (ESP), 4,08%
5) Radamel Falcao Garcia (COL), 3,67%
6) Iker Casillas (ESP), 3,18%
7) Andrea Pirlo (ITA), 2,66%
8.) Didier Drogba (CDM), 2,60%
9) Robin van Persie (HOL), 1,45%
10) Zlatan Ibrahimovic (SUE), 1,24%
11) Xabi Alonso (ESP), 1,09%
12) Yaya Touré (CDM), 0,76%
13) Neymar (BRA), 0,61%
14) Mesut Ozil (ALE), 0,41%
15) Wayne Rooney (ING), 0,39%
16) Gianluigi Buffon (ITA), 0,35%
17) Sergio Aguero (ARG), 0,30%
18.) Sergio Ramos (ESP), 0,22%
19) Manuel Neuer (ALE), 0,21%
20) Sergio Busquets (ESP), 0,20%
21) Gerard Piqué (ESP), 0,11%
22) Karim Benzema (FRA), 0,11%
23) Mario Balotelli (ITA), 0,07%
Aside from the top three, that list is open to debate but at least Pirlo makes it into the top 10.
