Lionel Messi : Ballon d'Or 2009 Winner

Lionel Messi purely deserved to be the winner but looking at the top 10 listing it should've been like this (based on my opinion)

1. Lionel Messi (simple as)
2. Xavi (Barca heartbeat and their main playmaker)
3. Samuel Eto'o (he's dangerous at Barca last season)
4. Andres Iniesta (Soild partnership with Xavi)
5. Ladyboy (although won the PL, but he flopped at CL final and Portugal didn't have the best of qualifiers)
6. Steven Gerrard (nearly winning us the 19th title)
7. Fernando Torres (due to his injury but still managed to score 17 goals and gave Spain the Euro)
8. Edin Dzeko ( scored goals for fun and won Wolfsborg their Bundesliga title)
9. Wayne Rooney (2nd fiddle to Ladyboy, no great contribution)
10. Didiver Drogba ( pure s**te, not winning anything last season, but a good goalscorer)

Quite puzzled on how Iker Casillas got into the list but not Pepe Reina. I mean on club level Reina totally outclassed him!

How does ladyboy get to be 5th? he's done F**k all this season except make 80m I wonder if he greased anyones palms with it-or if he's greased anyones arse for the placing?

Glad the right choise was made this time around

Absolutely no problem with Messi being #1.. Fully deserves it.  Key to Barca's winning last year.  Jaw dropping moves and great leadership. Born to play football and score goals.  However, maybe i'm biased, but Rooney ahead of Gerrard and Torres.   No way!... Rooney is a good player, I hate to admit it.  But he is a "Bit" player. His play is based on better players around him.  Messi would score with any team or player around him.

Plus..John Terry at 26 tied with David Villa?  I dont know!
