FIFA Ballon d'Or Shortlist

Messi, Iniesta and Xavi are the final three.

With Vicente del Bosque, Pep Guardiola and José Mourinho the final three for coach of the year.

I like Sneijder but the fact is he hasn't scored a league goal for Inter for months, as for Messi not have a good season, are you living in a cave ?.

Personally I'd love to see Xavi win to recognise the sheer consistency of the guy, christ Giggs won sports personality of the year for playing about a dozen games.

Sneijder not in the final 3 it's a shame. WC finalist with Netherlands. Winner of championship, Cup and Champions League with Inter. Is there a player who had a better season ? I don't think. I would have chosen Iniesta, Messi and Sneijder for the last 3.

Has there ever been a time when all of the final 3 were from the same club before now?

Think i read somewhere it happening for 2 successive years in the 80's, AC Milan being the club. Not certain about that mind.

Yeah, 1988 and 1989. 1988 actually had 3 dutch players from Milan nominated, Rijkaard, Gullit and Van Basten. Van Basten won them both, and again in 1992.

Not interested in this at all, never have been, never will be.

Yet more FIFA pantomime material.

Messi/Del Bosque.
