Most definitely the greatest player to have ever played the game.

No surprise really tbh. Makes me think if it's worth nominating other players. Basically it's to see who can finish closest to Messi

The greatest player to have ever played the game? Don't get ahead of yourself. Quite apart from the more left-field choices - my personal favourites are Bobby Moore and Garrincha - he still hasn't done enough to be considered on the same level as Cruyff, Pele and Maradona.

'grats to Messi, though. On another level to the rest of the world as a footballer right now.

I'm happy that Rooney finished 5th.

If only Giggsy was younger. Would've given him a run for his money and that's for sure. But I'm biased. Cause I just love watching him play.

No doubts... but i feel sorry for Xavi, how IMO best midfielder ever.

undoubtedly greatest playmaker ever


EDIT: wait, im forgetting something important here. Some consider Messi to be a playmaker too, so maybe Xavi is the best midfielder as you said.
