I doubt it. Messi will probably win it for the 3rd year running. The only time one of our lot has won it was Michael Owen in 2001. Keegan won it in '78 but by then he was a Hamburg player. Kenny finished 2nd in '83 and Stevie came 3rd in '05 and '08.
If Luiz keeps going the way he has I think he'll have a good shout next year.

Owen won the European Ballon D'or, this one's the FIFA Ballon D'or which is the combined FIFA player of the year and European Ballon D'or.

Sympathy vote because of his return from cancer or was it a tumour.

Not necessarily... When there were two, the Fifa world player of the year was considered the more prestigeous of the two because it selects the best in the world whereas the Ballon D'or only selects the best in Europe. What I'm trying to say is that the Ballon D'or that Owen won is not essentially the same as the Fifa Ballon D'or now because the latter now is considered from all over the world same as the Fifa world player of the year previously... for example, that year Owen won the Ballon D'or but Figo won Fifa World player of the year.
PS. Rather it is more accurate to say that today's Fifa Ballon D'or is essentially the same as the Fifa World player of the year previously.
