Random: Barca Well Represented at the Fifa Awards

Our team was well represented at the Fifa World Player award ceremony yesterday, with four of our gents in the top ten, and two of them making the top five. Leo Messi and Xavi came in second and fifth respectively, with Samuel Eto'o in seventh place and Andres Iniesta coming in at ninth.
It's a wonderful achievment for our boys, but sadly, we can't say the same for their choice of dress—not them or the other finalists. It's not just the Best Player award they were contending for; apparently there was a sub-competition to see who could show up in the most hideous shirt.
Also we should mention Cristiano Ronaldo's success in attaining first place and thus being named Fifa's World Player for 2008, but we'd rather just skip ahead to a year from now, when we know it'll be Messi holding that award...
