Messi, Iniesta, and Xavi had great years

but Sneijder won the copa d'italia, Serie A, and the Champions League, if he is punished for not winning the WC (although he came 2nd) than Messi should be as well
I definitely agree. It seems so strange to have 3 players from the same team on there. You shouldn't be eligible to win player of the year without being the best player on your team. I mean, those three are deserving and all, but Sneijder's year was insane. Not to mention voting was done in October to set these 3, so not a whole lot of weight should be placed on this season so far.
