Messi to win best player (deserved).. not sure about coach
Surely it has to be Guardiola as he won everything?
Parent
agreed, but they don't call Mourinho the special one for nothing.. wouldn't be shocked if he got it!
Parent

unexpectly your predictions are the guys from your country :D

xavi or messi/guardiola imo :P
unexpected predictions by you too :D
Parent
Look messi playing with Argentina... Honestly, he's not that good.

Messi is nothing without xavi and iniesta. That's why i hope xavi will take it.
agreed sometimes i really think whole barca team is built around messi, which works freakin good idd
Parent
Ofcourse you need a great team to shine. Doesn't mean Messi isn't an incredible player... Both Messi and Xavi deserve it.
Parent
Guardiola? Not much credit to give him cause when he arrived to Barcelona, Rijkaard had already built a strong team. Plus I doubt there is much of a job to do when you have such players on the pitch. I'd give more credit to Mourinho.
+1

u can put any coach u want for barça, he gonna do same than gardiola.
He's just lucky to have playa such as xavi or iniesta
Parent
Guardiola perfected Barca's game by getting the ball in posession quite fast when they don't have it
Parent
I didn't say he did absolutely nothing but your argument-be it true- isn't enough to make him the best coach in my opinion
Parent
I don't care bout footy... Volleyball is for real men
Parent
fucking joke again ;(


Messi okay, i can deal with that, but imo teams which came far at the CHAMPIONS league, deserve to be voted for the best players. i mean real madrid always fail and they always get voted for the best players. not fair
Anyone but CR to take it.
Where the fuck is Shefki Kuqi?
messi and guardiola
Germany Thomas Müller
