Nobody really stand out consistently this past yr.
Maybe Cannavaro? He win WC.
Henry?
Ronaldinho flop at the WC, I wouldn't give him.
Maybe Ballack.

Latas was nominated for the World Player award in 2000 too, when he was with Hibs

but come to think about it, Dwight have a good case for being on the shortlist even now

top scorer and best player for Sydney FC and in Australia...led the team to the inaugural A-league title, putting the Australian league on the world football map. Captaining T&T to its first World Cup and being one of the best in the side.

but FIFA tends to go for players in the mainstream leagues.

Lukas Podolski of Germany & Bayern M. all the way.

Probably won't happen, but Andrea Pirlo has been a major performer this year. Do the homework.

This guy is a clown. He just provided a critique of a bunch of top players for the last year. The Ronaldinho comment was only partially accurate. He didn't have a good World Cup. In the CL he was spectacular.

Again the greatest Right Back playing is left off....but a nuh notin...Sagnol is still the man.

But I think Cannavaro should and will win it..
Can make a strong case for Eto'o as well

Surprised that Essien, adriano, and Ribery are on the list
