Just wonder those "Captain", for me, being Captain for the Team, the National Team need to be honest, Royal to your countryman, clubmate have a limit, you can and should support your teammate no matter what...but when you come to Top 3 Player in the World and Messi not in there, this is not right, very not right.
You can argue saying that Messi is not the Best Player in the World, for me it is acceptable, but not in the top 3? come on...
For me definite top 3 are Messi and Ronaldo plus one whoever you think is fit in, but for me is Luis Suarez. Of course Neymar, Neuer, Benzema, Bale all can be top 3 candidate, but without Messi and Ronaldo in the top 3, i have serious doubt in your integrity, your football wisdom and your ability as the Captain for your country, and to my surprise there are 30 of them didn't pick Messi in the top 3, strange, strange, strange....
Having saying all this, i am equally unimpressed by both Messi and Ronaldo, they didn't vote they rival either, less of class....
