I say, brilliant list, FIFA, as usual! Beckham or Okocha definitely gets my vote! Their only blunder is not including media-wh0res like Owen.

I cant believe this..!!

Some players are nominated despite having the worst seasons of their lifetime.Others because they are soo good apparentley that all of a sudden they play for a big team...

I am willing to bet that this year the award will be like a lifetime achievement award and not based on the season...Remember those words.

this list is too stupid to comment

fifa is so stupid too

 

[Ziyad]

You are right Han...I wonder if some of those players are as suprised as the readers

I think this one has Maldini's name on it..

 

[Choppin Onions]

Okocha? :wth: He's been injured for ages it seems. How can he possibly be on that list.

Cafu, Maldini etc. are only their because of their name and what they did in the past. Both are past it nowadays.

Great list :dielaugh: ..

FIFA really sucks!

 

[shahz_nerazzurri]

DUde FIFA is becoming another victim of overhyped english media, 11 sucky EPL players in that list. The list really os too stupid to comment on. I bet if we were MANU, we would have atleast J.Zanetti, Martins & Cordoba in that list. Looney toones with his 11 goals in last season is on that list. :finger:

It would be so nice to see an Inter player get that trophy

Just to see one in the top 30 makes me happy...
