actually the best player in the world award is a little different than the best player in europe award.so its not surprising at all if the best player in the world is not the best player in europe.

Earlier on you guys were discussing who's the better player; Zambrotta or Roberto Carlos. In all honesty I believe that the former is the more complete footballer. You may say that I'm being biassed because Gianluca plays for Juve, but imho, both Carlos and Zambro excel in attack, and very well too, but Carlos can't really defend. I know that Zamboy isn't the soundest defender either, but he's a few steps ahead of Carlos as far as I'm concerned, and plus, the Brazilian isn't going to give you that amazing work ethic that Zambrotta does. Forza Zamby!
That's not really logical to me. Sure, maybe they should give the two awards to different players just for the sake of keeping the awards interesting.. but i don't really see the difference.
I live in a suburb in Sydney. If I was the the best footballer in Sydney, wouldn't that make me the best footballer in my suburb??

Okay, so what if say, Kaka single-handly wins the scudetto for Milan this season, scoring 50 goals. He can't participate in the European Championships, so his national team achievements are close to zero.
On the other hand, say Del Piero scores a hat-trick in every match in Portugal, and Italy win the tournament.
Does that mean that Kaka would get the European player of the year award, and Del Piero would get the World Player of the Year award (because his achievements at NT level are greater) despite the fact that his national team achievements were in the European Championships?

The Fifa Player of the Year Award is a travesty. I think I have elaborated enough on the matter in another thread.
As regards the Ballon d'Or, what we have seen in past editions is that in years where a major tournament is held (Euro or WC), the trophy always goes to either the topscorer of the tournament or to the star player of the team that wins it, no matter how he has achieved with his club for the rest of the season. Ronaldo played just a handful of games with Inter and Real in 2002, but his scoring 8 goals in the WC earned him the Award. Sammer in 96 was just good with his club but was exceptional with Germany, taking them to European glory, and subsequently recdeived the Ball too. Matthaus in 1990 played a discreet season with Inter, but his leadership and his 4 goals in the WC were enough for him to be eligible, when many other players had been more consistent than him over the whole year. The only recent exception to this rule is Van Basten in 92 : Denmark won the Euro that year, but none of their players was enough of a star to be Player of the Year, and that tournament did not see a player from another team clearly emerging above the lot. So they gave it to Super Marco, who had just played his best season ever for Milan and who scored at an average of more than one goal a game from September to December 92.

I don't liek carlos,Zamb is better Defensivley (+ in offence).
Imagine a player that can play as a right wing + left back!! ---> ZAMBROTTA,+ he plays with both feet!
Forza Zambro
