The race for the world's biggest individual price is on the way. The ever present duo of Ronaldo and Messi are joined by a host of stars including Ribery who won the best player in europe ealier in august. Real Madrid's golden boy Ronaldo is currently in the form of his life. The Portugesse began the year with a hatrick against Real Sociedad and then another against Celta Vigo 3 days later. And ever since he has been unstoppable scoring 62 goals. The list also contains Bale, Neymar, Suarez, Aguero, Yaya Toure, Hazard, Ibrahimovic, Xavi, Robben, Lahm, Pirlo, Ozil, Van Persie and a host of others. 4 time winner Lionel Messi might probably be dethroned this year. The Argentine has endured a year plagued with injury, has been an object of scrutiny due to his tax evasion scandal and also a loss of form. He has been second best to his greatest rival Ronaldo. Messi could still race to victory if popular vote still picks him as the FIFA king. However there are enough reasons that he will finish second and give way to a successor. Look for Messi to finish no lower than second and possibly (according to Blatter) first.

I have strong feelings that frank ribery might just win thus one
