Ballon d'or shortlist

Six Bayern stars, as well as some other people, made the short list for this year's Ballon d'Or. Here's the list:

Gareth Bale
Edinson Cavani
Radamel Falcao
Eden Hazard
Zlatan Ibrahimović
Andrés Iniesta
Philipp Lahm
Robert Lewandowski
Lionel Messi
Thomas Müller
Manuel Neuer
Neymar <-- really?
Mesut Özil
Andrea Pirlo
Franck Ribéry
Arjen Robben
Cristiano Ronaldo's Hair
Bastian Schweinsteiger
Luis Suárez <-- also known as "how to make a complete joke of the award, chapter 1"
Thiago Silva
Yaya Touré
Robin Van Persie
Xavi

By my count, that's Bayern 6:1 Chelsea. Sounds about right!

Did you see that header from the 18 yard box! I'm sorry he's a fookin bell but he is an amazing footballer.

As for Chelski

Talent wise, it's gotta be Suarez, Ribery, and Messi in no particular order doesn't it? It's a shame he's such a potty mouthed hand-balling cannibal diver, because he's got a nose for the goal like almost nobody else. It's probably pretty safe to say he won't win the award.

That Ronaldo made it this far is kind of funny in my book; he's not even the best footballer on his team (Casillas, Bale, Ramos, until recently Ozil) let alone in the world.
