World champions Spain dominte the list with 7 players, Iniesta especially is a huge contender for the big prize. Afterall it is usually a World cup winner who clinches it. What about the dark horses?
If the prize is not awarded to a World cup winner then you automatically think of Lionel Messi. However Diego Forlan has had an incredible year, winning the Europa league and being named player of the World cup in South Africa.
Sneijder is also a huge contender. Winning the treble with Inter Milan, being instrumental in the Netherlands journey to the World cup final, even though it ended disappointingly.
In my opinion Andres Iniesta will be awarded the crown of Worlds best player in Zurich. The award for world coach of the year will also be presented. Jose Mourinho is surely the only one who can take that?
World Player of the Year nominees:
Xabi Alonso (Spain), Daniel Alves (Brazil), Iker Casillas (Spain), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast), Samuel Eto'o (Cameroon), Cesc Fabregas (Spain), Diego Forlan (Uruguay), Asamoah Gyan (Ghana), Andres Iniesta (Spain), Julio Cesar (Brazil), Miroslav Klose (Germany), Philipp Lahm (Germany), Maicon (Brazil), Lionel Messi (Argentina), Thomas Muller (Germany), Mesut Ozil (Germany), Carles Puyol (Spain), Arjen Robben (Holland), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Germany), Wesley Sneijder (Holland), David Villa (Spain) and Xavi (Spain).World Coach of the Year nominees:
Carlo Ancelotti (Chelsea), Vicente del Bosque (Spain), Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester United), Pep Guardiola (Barcelona), Joachim Low (Germany), Jose Mourinho (Inter Milan/Real Madrid), Oscar Tabarez (Uruguay), Louis Van Gaal (Bayern Munich), Bert van Marwijk (Holland) and Arsene Wenger (Arsenal).
