I think Xavi does have a chance, although Messi is ontouchable at the moment he didnt manage to guide Argentina to the world cup, however Xavi orchestrates the play for both Barca and Spain, this year he deserves it. Then again I am shocked Snijder is not in the top three he has been wonderful this year, thats Fifa for who, the organization that would prefer the World Cup to be held in controversial countries such as Russia and Qatar. Well at least they did bring the world cup to South Africa
