Spain (well, Barcelona) is basically awesome:

Quote:

Lionel Messi tonight became the inaugural winner of the Fifa Ballon d'Or at an award ceremony in Zurich. The Argentinian forward was selected ahead of his Barcelona team-mates Xavi and Andrés Iniesta, who won the World Cup with Spain last summer.

Messi, 23, scored an astonishing 60 goals for club and country in 2010 and is regarded by many as the most gifted player of his generation.

"To be honest, I didn't expect to win today, but it was already great to be here next to my two mates," said Messi.

"To win it makes it even more special. I want to share with all of my friends, my family, all the Barcelonistas and the Argentinians."
