that sounds a lot less sketchy than a 4-way tie so i can believe it. otherwise i might think you guys had rigged the selection or something.

Nick, would you believe it was a 3-way tie? (I’m not going to tell you who the unlucky 4th was. You’ll have to wait.)

Xavi is the Maestro, the conductor of the orchestra. He creates the beautiful music or play that our players, La Roja execute. Bravo Xavi! Bravo!

I think Xavi was consistent throughout the tournament, and he was very good. Iniesta had a bad game against Italy, and he was good only in spurts, his inability to shot with his left was particularly frustrating against Germany. But Marcos Senna was outstanding, I think Xavi needs to recognize he was able to do alot more then he usually can do because he had Senna just behind him.

How Philipp Lahm even got a sniff of the top team of the tournament, I will never know. Worst defender at the tournament. Responsible for both Turkish goals as well as Torres’s goal last night.

I think Iniesta was better than Xavi. I do think Fábregas would have got it, but the Catalan Kid only came off the bench to change matches. He’s got plenty of time to win one though.

As a cule I’m biased, but I do think it was a very good choice – I think Marcos Senna deserved it more as he was a bit more consistent, but Xavi was still extremely vital, especially in the last two games and I would argue it was him not Torres who was the best player in the final. Cesc didn’t look as good when he started.
