[DeltonaS]

Gareth Bale will win both ;-)



No, done deal; Christiano and Ancelotti

Robben 2nd, Messi 3rd......

Although in reality Messi will probably become 2nd, he somehow managed to become best player of the WC.

[Amirhussain]

Ronaldo and Ancelotti, possibly Diego Simeone for winning Athletico Madrids first La Liga trophy since 1996.

No Suarez?

[BlackST]

Ronaldo.
Löw.

[MrMagoo]

Goalkeepers never get the recognition they deserve, Neuer should get it, IMO.

And Simeone for manager of
The year.

[CooperD]

Player, Cristiano Ronaldo
Coach, Carlo Ancellotti or Joachim Low. Difficult to call that one.

[ascayman]

Ronaldo
Simione

I don't think people over here quite appreciate the job that simione did last season.

[BlackST]

Simeone did a brilliant job.
La Liga champions and Champions league runners up.
World cup is a huge trophy too however.
I just think it will go to Löw.

[curlie467]

Ronaldo and Simeone for me.

[Cie]

Another vote for Ronaldo and Simeone.
