World Cup best player nominees

FIFA has announced the Nominees for the Golden Ball for 2010 World Cup:

Diego Forlan (Uruguay)
Asamoah Gyan (Ghana)
Andres Iniesta (Spain)
Lionel Messi (Argentina)
Mesut Oezil (Germany)
Arjen Robben (Netherlands)
Bastian Schweinsteiger (Germany)
Wesley Sneijder (Netherlands)
David Villa (Spain)
Xavi (Spain)

I was most impressed by Xavi, Villa, and Forlan, then by by Scheinsteiger.
I think depending on what they do in the last game for each, I would make up my mind.

FIFA also announced best young player nominees:
Thomas Mueller (Germany)
Andre Ayew (Ghana), this is the son of Apedi Pele, the great player in the 1990s
Giovani Dos Santos (Mexico)

I would give it to Thomas Mueller, which his absence had a clear slow down to German counter attacks.
