Fifa world player of the year (3 Viewers)

[swag]

My vote is for Deco. While this is an award for an individual player, for the past few years the message that teams matter more than players has been clobbered over our heads. (Read: Porto vs. Real Madrid, Greece vs. France, etc.).

Being a great player isn't just about what you do, it's also about getting the best out of your teammates. Otherwise, selfish clowns who have great personal achievements without supporting their teams much, or at their team's expense (e.g., shooting instead of passing, etc.), should get the award. Which would nominate most of AS Roma so far this season.

Of all the players listed, Deco was instrumental to his team's success at the club level, and his club succeeded about as well as any club could. At the international level, he left a bit to be desired ... but he fared as good or better than most everyone on the list internationally save for maybe Neddy, Rooney, Adriano, Larsson, and Lampard. (Baros? Five goals does not make a season.) And of those, only Lampard comes close to having a similar level of club success last season -- and Chelsea didn't win squat.

anyway no amount of discussion will matter because it will turn out to be someone who doesn't dserve it anyway.

 

[gray]

that's a given Des

don't you know? The whole point of these awards is to give football fans (and Totti) something to bitch about every season

 

[Zlatanfan]

Morientes isn't even selected. good job fifa

Denco, you are alive.

Maybe you can help me with this game which I have been unsuccessfully trying to introduce to the members of this forum :

http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~grahambae/Figurine Panini.xls

I have so far found 170 of the 200 players proposed.

I still miss the following numbers : 5, 7, 19, 24, 33, 43, 57, 58, 70, 72, 83, 86, 95, 105, 117, 121, 124, 127, 145, 146, 148, 161, 170, 172, 181, 183, 185, 187, 188, 199.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, man how are you doing? Don't come in as often as you have gathered due to commitments but I am not sure how you play yhe game as I cannot read Italian but if it means just naming the players then I will try my best

5 is Justin Fashanu sadly deceased

7 is Steve Archibald sadly alive ( just kidding)
24 is Joe Jordan (well as a Milan fan u ought to know that)
58 is Ray Clemence
70 looks like Valdo Perez erstwhile Brazil keeper of Rossi hattrick fame
83 is Trevor Francis played for Samp, atalanta, Ascoli
124 is Pat jennings
181 is Liam Brady of Juve, Samp and Ascoli

Those are the ones I can make out , some look familiar others don't ring a bell at all, assuming thats the game anyways

 

[Kaiser Franco]

Hey Denco,

I am ok, thanks. Thanks for those answers also : I have been struggling to find at least one name a week for some time now as the game becomes harder and I was getting a bit desperate!

Number 145 in particular is worth 5 points and I could swear he was a Cagliari player from the late 80's/early 90's but so far all my attempts have proved vain.

You're right about Joe Jordan, though he symbolizes an era of my team's history that I don't particularly like to be reminded of:groan:

To participate you just have to type the name in the space under the player's pic then press ENTER. if it says "esatto", you "won" and if it says "noooo" you will want to try again..

Enjoy!

 

[DuBai]

No one else than Ronaldinho deserve it !

he's the best in all soccer fields right now !

Goal scoring + Goal assisting + Brilliant techniques + Great manners..

PS.. Totti should have been in the list too !

azzurri7..i agree you, the players you highlighted don't deserve to be in the list, but Hoooh, did u mention Ruud van Nistelrooy ?? comon' man, he deserves to be in the list ! he's one of the best strikers in the world, in my opinion he's the most dangeroues striker now.
He gives us great performance in Manchester and Holland, unlike Henry..

 

[peckface]

Ronaldinho, Sheva and Henry deserves it the most.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

Totti, WHAT? Henry of Ronaldinho, good calls.

 

[xziz]

I HEREBY OFFICIALLY NOMINATE TOTTI

for everything he has shown us especially in Champions ....

[Amr]

what champions dude

roma just got knocked out by bayer leverkusen

i nominate now RONALDINHO!

this man is out of this galaxy.

 

[Elnur_E65]

I think he was born in this Galaxy actually, on planet Earth.

But I agree, I would nominate Ronaldinho as well.

 

[Desmond]

henry doesn't deserve it as much as Sheva or Ronnie imo.
