“Sneijder and me are not the world’s best, that would be Messi. It’s a pity for him that Argentina has been eliminated…. To me being World Champion is much more important [than individual acknowledgment].”

Xavi for Ballon d'Or and world player of the year.

He's too humble, I hope he realises how good he is

[diegomessi]

There isnt ANYTHING in footy he hasnt won now... what a career what a great man

Xavi should be Ballon D'or 2010. Easily.

Xavi should be Ballon D'or 2010. Easily.

while I agree, he won't be.

iniesta won the world cup and bossed the last hour of the final.

iniesta will be ballon d'or 2010.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Yip, i agree. Personally, I think it should be Xavi but it wont.

Guys, a request.

In the 120th minute last night a last yellow card was given by Webb : to Xavi. Reason : "unsportive behaviour". Well I'm looking for a video of this, because in all the festivities, I've never seen that one moment were Xavi must have done something pretty funny with his starting celebrations in order to have gotten that card Does anyone know a video of it? Or can anyone remember what he did?

^^He time wasted by kicking the ball away when the Netherlands had a free kick in their own half. i was surprised to see xavi do this but after realizing they were about to win a world cup, i would've done the same thing.

xavi is BOSS

 

[BelgianGeneral]

Ah okay, thanks mate. I had hoped for something slightly more epic though
