Top 3 are:
Lionel Messi Cristiano Ronaldo Andres Iniesta

Messi will obviously win.
Fifa team of the year has one player outside Real Madrid or Barcelona. That is Falcao.
Basically it's bullshit not to include RVP or Yaya Toure or Vincent Kompany or a Juve player.
Id haven't seen much Barca this seaosn or last just the odd game, but Iniesta seems to be rated higher than Xavi ? I would always have had Xavi ahead of him. What do you guys think ?
I hate to say it but surely a few Chelsea players deserved an inclusion?
Pirlo or Phillip Lahm wouldn't have been out of place either
Sorry, Tony.
Di Matteo not even in the final three for coach of the year.
Surely winning the European Cup and Fa cup has to put him up there.
He won more than Guardiola did in 2012

Xavi was (relatively) poor last season, Iniesta was better for club and country.
Pirlo not being on that list is laughable, while Pique was downright piss last season.
Some team or other went 49 games unbeaten and hasn't gotten a look in.

No problem.
Sepp Blatter is here. Can't wait til he steps down.
Also, what more does Klopp need to do to be nominated?

Did we not have any players in the world eleven in 2004?
I don't know but I'm talking about Juventus.

Henry would have been in there given that he was runner up for the main award two seasons in a row.
Beckenbauer is such a boss.

Biggus would love him. I think he does already.
In my opinion: Buffon; Lahm, Kompany, Chiellini, Marcelo; Iniesta, Alonso, Pirlo; Messi, Ronaldo, RvP

Much more real.
On second thought, Ramos and Casillas probably deserve their inclusions.
Josep Blatter getting in amongst the announcers for the women's footballer of the year.

Sell Gervinho, sign Wambach.
