He is a good player no doubt,buh 2010 WFA he doesnt deserve it at all. Xavi or Iniesta deserve it,without dis duo Messi is an empty vessel,he prove that in the world cup. Diego Forlan is 250% better than Messi in the world cup. Am sure he cant play outside barcelona,outside spain he sucks. Bleep fifa

do u have anything at stake on this subject? Messi was the best in 2010 and moreover, it wasnt Fifa that chose messi it was national team coaches/captains and maybe some Journalists

Messi is indeed a quality player, but like many awards (including CAF awards), there is an element of profit that's involved. In order to win many top awards, you usually would be eliminated if you play for an average club, have an average name, and have an average fan base

Let me put a perspective, when Barca had Ibrahimovic as the striker, Messi scored more than he did; when Eto'o was the striker, Messi equalled his goal rate.
Now, if Adebayor was in Barca instead of Messi, playing alongside Xavi and Iniesta, would Barca have been such a great team?

You might do all the crosses and passes, but when you have an Adebayor or Walcott at the end of it and not a Messi, you might be groaning instead of celebrating!
