Messi and Marta: 2009 FIFA World Player of the Year

As expected, Messi and Marta are 2009’s FIFA World Player of the Year.

Messi took his first FIFA World Player award home by beating C. Ronaldo (who had 352 points against his 1,073). Xavi was third, Kaka fourth and Iniesta fifth. Very well deserved.

Marta took the award for the fourth consecutive time, something never achieved before by male or female player. And she deserves it more then anyone out there. The superiority of her game and skills make it impossible for anyone to win. Germany’s Prinz was second with 290 points (Marta had 833), Kelly Smith had 252, and Cristiane had 239.
