Thought they just had it? Thought the Ballon D'or was the same thing?

So there's the Ballon D'or, this, and that FIFPRO or whatever bollocks that is?

The Balloon was is basically European Player of the Year no?

[Shaggy]

Ah yeah, of course.

Still......too many of these things.

The only one on the list I'm somewhat bemused about is Kaka.... what has he really done in the last year or so?

too tired to realise you were jesting ......

For what it's worth, I though Iniesta was robbed of the Ballon D'or. He's the heartbeat of that Barca side.
