To be fair you wouldn't have got good odds on Messi or Xavi, maybe Iniesta but once he scored the winner in the world cup final he instantly became a strong contender, i personally would love to see Xavi win it, that man is a genius with a football.

Edit, just realised this isn't the football thread, sorry, Dregz started it.......

Oops, i didn't realise that it wasn't the footy thread either.
I reckon a year and a half ago if you put a bet on them to be the 3 finalists then maybe the odds would would have been alright, what with everyone expecting it to be a 2 horse race between Messi and Ronaldo. Xavi is a genius, he gets overlooked cos of the others. It's a hard bunch to choose from and as much as I like Messi it would be good to see one of the others win it.
