you dont think he's overrated?

I give him a lot of credit for Liverpool's CL win last year. The Golden Ball is a yearly award for that year's achievements and he did achieve something.

I would like to see Cannavaro winning it for a change.

And Zambrotta isn't mentioned.

 

[Maher]

nice to see that most of our players are in this list

 

[DelpieroForLife]

nice to see that none of our players in the list stand with a realistic chance to win the Golden Ball...

Man, if Maldini didn't win it after spending a legendary 20 years on the field then how do ya rate the chances of a deffender to win Golden Ball ???

Gianluigi Buffon, Mauro Camoranesi, Fabio Cannavaro, Patrick Vieira, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Trezeguet, Lilian Thuram, Emerson and 2004 winner Pavel Nedved are all up for the prize.

Milan have five members of their squad in the roster thanks to the performances of Andrea Pirlo, Paolo Maldini, Nelson Dida, Kaka and current Golden Ball holder Andriy Shevchenko.

The Inter pair of Luis Figo and Adriano make up the 16 Italian based players included, the same number as the English Premier League.

Wich player do u think will win this year...?

my top 5 will be some like

F. Lampard
Ronaldinho
Juninho
P. Vieria
J. Terry

 

[Sadomin]

I think both DP and Totti deserve to be on that list.

 

[Azzurri7]

Lampard or Kaka to win it I think....


Dp deserves to be there.

 

[A_LAcki]

If its about who is the best player, there can only be 1 --> Ronaldinho

If its about what has been achieved last season, its IMO Steven Gerrard

Totti yes...

Yeah because he won Roma so many trophies


and IMHO Trezeguet and Nedved shouldn't be there

[Rami]

How did Trezeguet get on that list?? He was injured most of last season!

 

[Daddi]

I miss Zambrotta, Totti and Del Piero.

I think that Raul, R.Carlos and Zidane are there because of old merits. They shouldnt be there really

My top-list:

1. Ronaldinho
2. Shevchenko
3. Juninho
4. Henry
5. Lampard
6. Luca Toni
7. Eto'o
8. Totti
9. Camoranesi
10. Zlatan

or something like that.

 

[Gino Genesio]

yeah delpiero and totti deserf to be in the list but i am most suprising that zambrotta isent on the list!

and you guys say trezeguet dont deserf there because he was injured the whole season,

wel geus what Marco van basten once won the golden ball playing 1game

plus trezeguet dident play much but was the reason to kick real out the champions leageu and make the winning goal againts milan in san siro so

 

[lestat_1987]

Finally we´re getting what we deserve, though most likely no Juve player will win anything.

Talking about people who shouldn´t be on the list MArtin mentioned Forlan. I think he deserves to be there. Pichichi of La Liga, this season he has been with his mind elsewhere. But for what he did alst season he sure deserves it. No Gerrard? please... that´s just a joke

 

[Bjerknes]

This must be between Ronaldinho, Deco, or Steven Gerrard. I would choose Deco because it's no joke Ronaldinho will win FIFA Player of the Year.

 

[~*marianne*~]

David Beckham? Raul? What have Robinho done in Europe so far? And above all, NO ZAMBROTTA?? :fero: What a joke! This list is 97% merchandising, just like FIFA's one.

Anyhow, Lampard should win.

 

[Dragon]

Ronaldinho is gonna get it

 

[3pac]

ronaldinho should have to play with ankle weights and a blindfold, it just isn't fair to the other players when he's not handicapped
