Xavi and Alves, are you fucking serious? That's a 2011 team, not a 2013 team. I personally don't think Schweinsteiger should be there, and I'd entertain arguments that Neuer shouldn't either. But Alaba is the consensus best LB in the world now.

Vidal belongs over Xavi, that much is obvious to everyone.

I'd also suggest that Suarez/Ribery/Robben belong over the oft injured Messi.
well, that's just it: this entire XI *is* a consensus best XI -- the players' consensus ...

Barça trumping Bayern is funny ... wrong, but funny that that's what the players' opinion is ...

Too bad, I wanted Ribery to win it.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but Ronaldo prior to the gala didn't stop saying, for weeks, that he didn't care much about the trophy, that everybody at Fifa is pro-messi (true) and he probably wouldn't even go to the gala, and he panicked every time his teammates or anybody else said that Messi deserves it.. yet he was all in tears when he won, which is normal too, but it almost feels like he put the necessary pressure to win it. I'm not discrediting his talent or his performances though.

It's weird that he was so emotional for an individual award he's already won.

Ronaldo always cries ...

World xi of the year was a complete joke. Ramos, Xavi, Iniesta, Alves ... really!!!!

Schweinsteiger for Iniesta
Vidal for Xavi
Dante or Kompany for Ramos
Alaba or Alba for Alves, Lahm to RB

Ibra was OK, but I think Lewy deserved it more ...

Yeah, Ramos was also really bad. Not sure why I didn't pick that out either. TBH, Boateng has been better than Dante in 2013 though.

I wonder what a player like Lahm should do to win this award!!!! ... the guy is best at every position he plays ... he outclassed Ronaldo in every round ...

I guess it's first about dribbling, then scoring goals ... basically most entertaining player ...

that's sad but true ... that was always the case in fifa awards ... I have to agree with Platini ... Fifa destroyed Ballon'dor system ... hard working players like Sammer, Nedved and Cannavaro won the award in modern era when more flashy players were around.

Apparently being champions league top scorer = balon' dor

Crying like a little bitch helps too.

Some people are just emotional and i guess it meant a lot to him. Remember his reaction last year when Messi won it? So bitter and full of angst.
