Here are the nominees Best Player: Zinedine Zidane(Real Madrid CF) Gianluigi Buffon(Juventus FC) Roberto Carlos(Real Madrid CF) Pavel Nedved(Juventus FC) Ruud van Nistelrroy(Manchester United FC) Best goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus FC) Iker Casillas (Real Madrid CF) Francesco Toldo (Internazionale FC) Christian Abbiati (AC Milan) Oliver Kahn (Bayern Munich) Best defender: Cristian Chivu (AFC Ajax) Paolo Maldini (AC Milan) Alessandro Nesta (AC Milan) Roberto Carlos (Real Madrid CF) Lilian Thuram (Juventus FC) Best midfielder: Edgar Davids (Juventus FC) Claude Makelele (Real Madrid CF) Pavel Nedved (Juventus FC) Paul Scholes (Manchester United FC) Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid CF) Best forward: Raúl González (Real Madrid CF) Ronaldo (Real Madrid CF) Andriy Shevchenko (AC Milan) Ruud van Nistelrooij (Manchester United FC) Christian Vieri (Internazionale FC) Roy Makaay (Deportivo la Coruna) Thierry Henry (Arsenal) so what do u think ? im happy that Juve have sooo many nominees and Nedved deserves both Best Player and Best Midfielder. Best Goalkeeper for me is between Toldo and Buffon. Toldo's heroics against Valencia deserve this honor. Best defender - Nesta. Best forward - Makaay.
How does Pippo not make that list? He was awesome in the CL with 12 goals scored. He wasn't bad either in Serie A with 16 goals. I'm as big a Sheva fan as there is but I have to admit that Pippo deserves to be on that list ahead of Sheva by far. Dida should have been on the list as well. Here are my picks by the way: Goalkeeper: Buffon Defender: Nesta(tough choice because Maldini was great as well) Midfielder: Nedved Striker: RVN
I do too, but more than you My picks: Best player: Pavel Nedved (Juve), but I would choose Paolo Maldini, if he were a nominee. Maldini is one of the best defenders ever, he should be recognized by everyone. I hope he wins Golden Ball. Best goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon (Juve), no doubt about it. Best defender: Paolo Maldini (Milan) Best midfielder: Pavel Nedved (Juve), if he plays the final, Juve wins. Best forward: Ruud Van Nistelrooy (ManU), he just amazing.
NEDVED VS ZIDANE the czech cannon reigns supreme nedved will take MVP and Best Mid buffon will get best keeper thuram or maldini will get best defender van nistelrooy will get best striker
