I think that they choose the winner in December, during the CL knock-out draw.
That's at least how they were doing it in the previous years.
Btw: CALCIO
Pallone d'oro, nessun italiano
For the second time in a row, there isn't a single Italian player in the shortlist. It happened before only in 1958 and 1959.

True. This year there are less nominees and the FIFA influence is easily noticeable.
Although, even if it was as in the previous years when there were 40-50 nominees, I still think that this year there wasn't going to be an Italian player in the shortlist. Buffon was usually making it when the other Italians were bad, but this year even Gigi didn't get to play a lot and when he did he was conceding 2-3 goals on average due to the terrible defense in front of him.

Which english or french player could really be considered for the ballon d’Or?
Rooney possibly. The rest, i don't think so. Some english fans here were moaning about ashley cole, claiming he's the best LB in the world.

Lampard too had a terrific season last year domestically and he'd have made the short-list if it was France Football who organized it. From France maybe Anelka.
But from Italy not a single one deserved to be at least considered a candidate for the short list. That's how awful the Italians were in 2010.

Gerrard, Lampard, Terry, Rooney and Cole could all get in based on their ability over a club season, but the England team flopped so that's them finished in terms of this award. It's not an award based on just ability, and club season form lessens in a tournament year.
Do you realise how silly that sounds every world cup is a historic one. Just because it's the first time Spain won it it doesn't mean it's any more special than the others.
Mourinho won a treble, that is so much more historic in those terms, somebody always wins the world cup every time it's played, big whoop.
But it's not every day a treble happens.
Oh and the whole success of the Spain team is down to Aragones, he set the wheels of motion in place. Even I could have done Del Bosques job from there on.
