In today’s session was released as planned, the list of candidates for the FIFA Golden Ball 2010. As it had advanced the publication popular Italian Corriere dello Sport, the three players Barca Messi, Iniesta and Xavi, who will decide the top award, something that surely must be filled with pride to the team FC Barcelona.

Jean Pierre Papin, Marseille striker once selected and Gallo, who opened the envelope and provided the information (filtered for days) under the watchful gaze of the general secretary of FIFA, Jerome Valcke, the general director of the prestigious France Football Francoise Moriniere and one of the world champions in 1998, Christian Karembeu, who said about … “They are a great tribute to World Champion”

On 10 January will be the official ceremony to determine who will be the winner of the ball, but Iniesta has all the tickets purchased to take the title.

Chances are multiplied. Torres in more than one occasion, Iniesta, Xavi … and above all ‘the Guaje’ again, which wasted a one on one that had magnified his numbers before the intermission. Around the locker room Cesc took the place of Xavi. Martin Frick, the most renowned player of Liechtenstein, 94 international matches and fourteen goals, failed to score. But Iker was intent on leaving.

Torres scored the fourth with a shot from inside the area. The locals are resigned to their fate before the flood of scoring moments I had in Spain. Del Bosque gave way to David Silva, who left Madrid by the attacker. As a precaution. The work was done. Silva took four minutes to see door. He received a pass from Cesc. He turned around and beat Jehle, less inspired by this section. Spain sought more. Especially Villa, who was denied the goal. Even threw a ball to the crossbar in stoppage time. He stayed at 43 points. One even Raul.

The MVP of the game against Germany is just one more reason to see if the brain of the Red already has become the world number one. There are more than enough merit to that of Terrassa has already (finally) the Ballon d’Or

Neither Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka or Cannavaro. The latest Golden Balls are gone from this World Cup much more grief than glory. The only thing that kept year after year and particularly since 2008, is Brazilian, or Portuguese, or Italian, or Argentina. It showed in Terrassa and the Euro which is the best midfielder in the world. At least I had the title of best player in the event of Austria and Switzerland.

Already the world’s best?

After this success was the mastermind of the best Barça’s history, winning all possible titles in 2009 and leading his team in the last league. No more excuses for taking decisions to issue each year which is the best footballer the world decide that once and break the stereotypes present and den, in a fair, the prize culé canterano.

FIFA gave the award for Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the semifinal against Germany and this only served to reopen a debate that is going to sound much more force if Spain finally is a champion on Sunday. In the second round match against the Portuguese also gave the MVP award. Now I have to give him the top prize. The only thing missing.

At the end of this year will be decided with the new format that links the Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player who has been the best. Have to compete precisely against that Sunday will be measured to Spain in the final, Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben. If Spain wins, Xavi will be several steps ahead of the two former Real Madrid who have managed to succeed.
