PEP LIVES!

Okay, roundup from the Fifa awards. Messi won the Ballon D'Or - first person to win it three consecutive years in a row. He accepted in the award in what looked to my eyes to be a purple velour suit, which I think is the way to go.

Some editor tried to make it up to Xavi by giving him an alluring running-in-the-rain-looking-back-over-his-shoulder shot in the video intro.

Ronaldo (the Brazilian one) (96, 98, 02) and Zidane (98, 00, 03) have both won three times.

Pep won the coach of the year. Mahaha Mourinho!

Neymar won goal of the year. Observe:

Marta's hard work pretending to fall down a lot was ignored, as Japan's Homare Sawa got the women's award. Abby Wombach was a finalist. I can't find any good videos of Sawa other than that one where she destroyed our Women's World Cup Hopes, which shall not be posted.
