    This is turning out to be the general concensus on Rooney's place in that world XI <ok>

    What Messi does sometimes is just glorious. Best technically gifted player produced. Fact.

    Yep I know.

    but I'm just making the point that the goal wasn't "the best goal scored on the planet last year." It was good, but best goal in 2011?? Pfft.

    Xavi I mean <laugh> Also RVP has been nothing short of world class this year.

    <doh> that team has such a spanish bias. Pretty much the only awards i agree with are the ones given to the Japanese FA/ players.

    My team would be:

    Casillas

    Alves - Ramos - Pique - Cole

    Iniesta - Alonso - Xavi

    Messi - Van Persie - Ronaldo

    No way should Ashley Cole be in there, Leighton Baines has been far better than him in the past year.

    Still like Cole tbh. Marcelo actually is probably better

    Would put RVP over Rooney - forgot about him

    Cavani deserves a shout too

    Xavi is my favorite Barca player to watch, but I still think Messi deserved to win it, I think that in terms of performance, Messi was the better player last year.

    RVP is class, and we consider scoring 35 goals in a calendar year incredible... but Messi has done it for the last 3 years consistently. He's so good that we just expect the spectacular from him.

    NOt sure barcelona defenders deserve to be in there, they are pretty overrated seeing as they don't have much to do as xavi and iniesta basically play keepball
