First of all I have to say that I am not a big fan of Lionel Messi. He plays for F.
C. Barcelona and I am a supporter of Real Madrid.
He is an outsanding soccer player, no doubt about it, but this award, Fifa World Player, involves an interesting contradiction. It pretends to reward the best soccer player in the world, but if your club won nothing last year, you cannot aspire to get it.
And that´s precisely the problem with Lionel Messi: I think he is too much dependent on the performace of the whole team. He needs a club where everything is okay to show his talent. In the Argentina national team, Messi is not playing very well. Argentine press is critizing him because of it.
So 2010 will be a great year for Lionel Messi only if F. C. Barcelona and Argentine national team achieve to play good soccer.

Lionel Messi does deserve the award.He is the best player in the World at the moment with his consistency.Though individually he lags behind Ronaldinho in skill and Christiano Ronaldo in overall game play,as a complete player he is superior to either of them at the moment.He just misses the World Cup golden boot in his awards cabinet.

Congratulations, Lionel the first Argentinian. Seems like Messi deserves it. I don't any reason to refute it coz he's not far from flawlessness, not including his length. The only hope from me is that he'd better not replay what Ronaldinho did.
