You could have added Pandev and few others but I don't think much would have changed and Sneijder was still gonna win it, with even bigger difference probably.
Thanks! Great job

I get the descepancy of some funny votes like Xabi Alonso as you said (or Gyan 
). But he just listed alot of the worlds countries and made it sound like they are unanimously laughable for which countries (footie wise) they are and voting for Messi?
And why this does it matter if they dont play in top footie? (I find some of the choices of these top captain players utterly laughable, and they play with/against eachother alot)They have tvs like us, and see Messi play week in and week out.

Yes, but I wonder how often do the captains from east Asian countries wake up in the middle of the night to watch Messi play or how early do the captains of those Caribbean or Oceanian small islands do the same. From my experience with professional footballers, they watch much less football than normal football fans do.
However, even if every vote is the same, it's still strange that the top players think that Sneijder was the best in 2010 and due to the votes of the less famous players the Dutch didn't even make the top 3.

Are we assuming their viewing habits? Weird. The whole world watches football, even if its totally inconvenient hours and to lesser frequency, we shouldnt assume they cant judge because they live in different time zones
In fact this would been possibly more true if they only voted for someone who stood out in WC or CL alone (as typically Fifa votes tend to be), as they big games people generally watch, but they didnt, because there are better candidates at that then Messi.
And frankly, these mainly European top players are quite laughable with some of their votes. And just because they are top players who play in top footie, doesnt mean they are the right ones for voting for Sneijder as best player, bit elitist to think so.
He barely had a much of a league season of any worth but excelled in CL without being the best player (one of 5 players who were key, best one being Milito who wasnt even nominated), thats pretty much it. IMO the Sneijder sympathies are for because he turned around his career, its more of a suprise/standout for him to have the season he did. I would pretty much think thats a rather decisive factor in general opinion of Sneijder. But it doesnt make him the best player.
