Apparently it wasn't such a bad one, he is already conscious and feeling a lot better. Hopefully he will be back soon.
FIFA released Men's shortlist for FIFA ballon d'or:
Players:
Éric Abidal (France), Sergio Agüero (Argentina), Karim Benzema (France), Iker Casillas (Spain), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Dani Alves (Brazil), Samuel Eto’o (Cameroon), Cesc Fàbregas (Spain), Diego Forlán (Uruguay), Andrés Iniesta (Spain), Lionel Messi (Argentina), Thomas Müller (Germany), Nani (Portugal), Neymar (Brazil), Mesut Özil (Germany), Gerard Piqué (Spain), Wayne Rooney (England), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Germany), Wesley Sneijder (Netherlands), Luis Suárez (Uruguay), David Villa (Spain), Xabi Alonso (Spain), Xavi (Spain).
Coaches:
Vicente Del Bosque (Spain/Spain national team), Alex Ferguson (Scotland/Manchester United FC), Rudi Garcia (France/Lille OSC), Pep Guardiola (Spain/FC Barcelona), Jürgen Klopp (Germany/Borussia Dortmund), Joachim Löw (Germany/Germany national team), José Mourinho (Portugal/Real Madrid C.F.), Óscar Tabárez (Uruguay/Uruguay national team), André Villas-Boas (Portugal/FC Porto, Chelsea FC), Arsène Wenger (France/Arsenal FC).
Hm in my opinion, I think that Eric Abidal, Diego Forlan and Nani shouldn't be on that list and Robin van Persie and Mario Gomez should be on it.
If i'm not mistaken the ballon d'or is given for individual achievments. If so I think Ronaldo should win (Obviously biased) but they'll probably give it to Messi for some reason.
English teams really sucking in Europe at the moment. I think it's the schedule. After that ridiculous match on Saturday it's too soon to fly off to belgium 3 days later.

Inter were missing Ranocchia, Samuel, Coutinho, Poli, Motta, Forlan and started an injured Sneijder too.
That hack Chivu started in central defense, imo move Cambiasso to CB and bench Chivu.
It's not a surprise that they are all injured!
Inter is a retirement home. With age come injuries.
I personally find it very satisfactory that Inter will soon be on a relegation rank in the Serie A.
You're either burning from Bayern's losses to Inter or you support two times convicted Milan or the most dishonest club in history Juventus? Which is it?
Honest Inter are in a bad situation, they could use your support...

Wenger the moron has sacrificed top spot, hopefully he gets Barcelona or Real Madrid because they will lose in Greece.
