Three men “fight” today for the Golden Ball most talked about in recent years. Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi are looking forward to the large verdict.
Gone are other names like Wesley Sneijder Dutch, Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo and the Uruguayan Diego Forlan.
Xavi, Iniesta and Messi, proud Catalans have reached the final. It will be interesting to see who is chosen.

I have no doubt that the three, the most destabilizing is Messi, but if just for that Christian could have slipped into the shortlist.

If it were the work of a year which was taken into account, the absence of Sneijder (especially in Europe champion and runner-up of the World) is inexplicable. The act of throwing a car almost just could not have been the determining factor, but Forlan (Atletico leading UEFA and Uruguay to fourth in the world) should have been alternated.

The criteria seem to be a mystery then. What is clear is that this must be the year of the Spanish. All we wanted to see in 2010 the world wide Messi and more that some media are bent on selling the contrary, the crack did not appear. Do not score a goal and did not come to the rescue of his team when he was beaten by Germany and even their achievements with the club (“just” a league) are much poorer than previous seasons.

Even Casillas is key to closing the prison at Cardozo in the second round and hand in hand to Robben in the final deserved a better fate.
But in the end it was tinged with FC Barcelona.

I think Xavi Iniesta had a better World. However, the manchego was decisive. His goal gave the title to Spain and that has to weigh.

In summary: For quality Messi, Xavi year, by a preponderance Iniesta and justice should be a draw.

The FC Barcelona star, Lionel Messi, told the Journal that his desire Olé for 2011 is to win the Copa America and win the title for the first time with the jersey of Argentina, speaking to the press made in his native Rosario (300 km North) and published on Sunday: “In 2011 I won my first title with the senior team, so I asked Santa Claus Gift America’s Cup, ” said Messi. “I will put everything to win, is the gift I want to do all Argentines. The people of my country deserves a great year, ” referring to the tournament to be played in Argentina between 1 and 24 July.

Messi – Golden Ball winner of FIFA in 2009 and nominated for the same award this year – closed 2010 with a world record because he managed 58 goals for Barcelona and two with the national team in a total of 64 games played. With these achievements fell far short of the second scorer of the year, Cristiano Ronaldo, who totaled 49, 46 with Real Madrid and three with the selection of Portugal: “I always try to beat me, so my goal for this year’s next is improve what we did in 2010, Read the rest of this entry »

Yet, the greatness of football work to match the little miracle in a global dispute. Messi, who likes it though, stands today as the best player in the world. In contrast, Cristiano Ronaldo, relegated to such a distinction in the last couple of seasons, fight and fight to try to match the Argentine.

What is certain is that the classic tonight on the lawn will have two stars that shine with light itself from the vast constellation of cracks that preside over the Camp Nou.

Spain suffered a setback when he fell 4-1 to Argentina in a friendly international match played on Tuesday at the Estadio Monumental de Nuñez de Buenos Aires (Argentina).

The selected directed by Vicente del Bosque fits in this way the biggest win in this great cycle victorious from the “red.”

Lionel Messi gave football a real concert with three goals gave the first title of the season with Barça.

From the outset, was that Barcelona and faced the meeting with a different attitude after the 1-3 first-leg wins.

Messi was the first in their boots in the sixth minute but his shot flew past the goal defended by Palop.

But it was a warning of things to come. It was enough that Peter will win the line, will launch the center back and the poor Konko appeared to mark an own goal. Read the rest of this entry »

It is at home. Leo Messi came to Argentina with his family to spend the Christmas holidays and expressed out loud what he had asked the Magi in his letter .

A clear message of hope to fans of his country, very touched by the poor image given by the albiceleste selection in the friendly against Catalonia.
