Haha you seem to be surprised there is no Americans... Has there ever been a top 25 American in the world ever??
I'm upset. No Americans. This is crap. Heck even a Mexican coach voted for Donovan to be the top three player in the world two years ago.
Sorry, guys. Landon doesn't crack my top 40. No offense to his fans, and I did know I'd upset some of you by not putting him on there.
Wow. There are three people in here who seriously need to take their sense of humor/sarcasm detectors to the shop.
On footballing performances alone I'd say Francesco Totti. Sadly his spitting incident has pushed his football into the background. This has been a year in which there was no clear cut performer.
It's Deco. After helping FC Porto, he has taken Barca to the next level. He's the one doing all the work, while Ronnie gets all the glory with his pretty finishes...Sheva would get my second vote. Henry gets my third place vote. I'm amazed at his scoring clip and at some of the awesome goals in a very physically demanding league - and the fact that nobody has been able to stop him
*looks at your team line* Hmmm, I wonder why. Seriously, though. He's a great player, but there were considerably better options this year.
