Diego Forlan. Amazing season last year- and sending Uruguay to World cup bronze!!!
Wesley Sneijder deserves it imo
Xavi!!! Amazing player, playing in the best team in the world
Messi, no doubt. See what he has done with Barca, and without Maradona as Arg.manager he will win the next world cup in 2014, thats for sure!
Xavi for me the best player when injured Barca struggles he not Messi is best at Barca
