Is that so. I only remember that he has been pretty shite this autumn. Maybe I don't follow him enough.

Yeah, real has been pretty dire as of late (he's still their best player tho), but remember the award includes last season. He also lead his team to the semifinal of the euros which they lost on penalties, was particularly good against the dutchbags and the Czechs for a change.

He is by huge margin 2nd best player in the world.

Oh, it was FIFPRo, let's wait for UEFA one

Yes. I think the UEFA list is announced later. List is still silly.

 

[Gabriel]

He is by huge margin 2nd best player on the world.

Questioning his inclusion is a joke.

I'd say Lahm and Hummels shouldve been there, perhaps Cole for Marcelo and Ivanovic would be after Lahm but miles ahead of friggin Alves.


Buffon, Cech or Neuer ahead of Casillas too.

 

[Salvatore]

I can understand van Persie not being there, midfield and defence are a bit of a joke.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

Messi I want to bet that he will win it in 2013 too because of the new FIFA system

Lets face it, there was always gonna be 3 forwards with Ronaldo and Messi dead certain, that leaves 3 monsters fighting for a spot: RVP, Falcao and Ibra. And I think Falcao just edges it.

Yea just remembered that he did pretty well at the Euros indeed.

Are you kidding me? Gio is second. Cristiano is third.

Falcao scored in two UEFA finals and was man of the match in both of them as well. I agree with you.

Messi won Ballon d'Or

...of course

 

[Ahmed]

Pilro was SEVENTH in the voting.

Within a year you will be reading headlines of him being the first one to score almost 200 goals in two calendar years in the best league in the world.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

FIFA federations Imagine Guadelupa or Sierra Lione football federations are voting for Pirlo or Bonucci I guess that Messi e Ronaldo will be in top3 for the next 5 years

 

[Lapa]

Pilro was SEVENTH in the voting.

Was Ramos before him?

 

[Goodfella]

Look at the outfit

Look at the outfit

Is that for real???

 

[Salvatore]

The only thing I was interested in is the voting sheets. Here they are.

http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/bal.../98/07/84/fboawardmenplayer2012-bycountry.pdf

Algeria captain selected Benzema first
Aruba captain put Özil second and Busquets third
Austrian captain put Balotelli third

And so on. Someone try and justify the credibility of this award.

 

[Goodfella]

Is that for real???

Yes.

 

[Deep C]

It's hard to fault the choice of Ronaldo, Messi, Falcao and Iniesta. Maybe RvP could've edged Falcao. Rest, however, is pitiful. Apart from maybe Casillas.

At the same time people could moan about Buffon selecting Pirlo though.
