So far Ecuador's Luis Antonio Valencia has a very comfortable lead. He has got 1/3 of the votes, deservingly leaving Rooney, Messi and C Ronaldo is his wake! as an ecuadorian i couldnt be more happy. but he also does deserve to lead as he played a valuable role in our offence and defence continualy being a pest to our opponents by dispossesing them with ease and getiing into dangerous areas leaving defenders for dead. thank you everyone for voting our luis!!! ARRIBA ECUADOR!
Valencia has played a very good tournament. I'm pretty sure Recreativo de Huelva are going to have offers for him after the WC.
I hear Recreativo want to keep Valencia for one more season atleast. I wonder what Villarreal have to say about that.
Maybe they agree. Recreativo is in the first division now where Valencia can get more experience, and Villarreal already have Cani and Pires.
If that is the case it will be a great opportunity to grow as a player pretty quick taking in consideration that he will be in all the important game. Perhaps he will be ready for a much bigger team for 2007? However, I could see him trying to play in Villareal this year as well and I am sure offers will show up after the tournament.
I say Torres.. At a mere 22 years old, he's scored 3 goals in 2 games. That's not too shabby...and he also has a pretty good way with the ball, and clears out various shots, even though most get blocked.
Someone has rigged that vote, no way he gets all those votes, most novice fans never even heard of him.
I picked Senderos, but he is now out the current ranking Luis VALENCIA (ECU) 32% 134525 Lionel MESSI (ARG) 16% 69528 Cristiano RONALDO (POR) 15% 64468 Chu-Young PARK (KOR) 4% 18382 Wayne ROONEY (ENG) 4% 18214 Hossein KAABI (IRN) 3% 15711 Cesc FABREGAS (ESP) 2% 12310 Lukas PODOLSKI (GER) 2% 11176 Sergio RAMOS (ESP) 2% 10755 Christian BENITEZ (ECU) 1% 7680 Andres GUARDADO (MEX) 1% 5365 Asamoah GYAN (GHA) 1% 5128 Mehrzad MADANCHI (IRN) 0% 3719 Guillermo OCHOA (MEX) 0% 3575 Mohammed AL ANBAR (KSA) 0% 3517 Tranquillo BARNETTA (SUI) 0% 3231 Philippe SENDEROS (SUI) 0% 2675 Ji Hoon BAEK (KOR) 0% 2653 Aaron LENNON (ENG) 0% 2330 Theo WALCOTT (ENG) 0% 2113 Jin Kyu KIM (KOR) 0% 1389 Yassine CHIKAOUI (TUN) 0% 1355 Valon BEHRAMI (SUI) 0% 1284 Marcell JANSEN (GER) 0% 1274 Ryan BABEL (NED) 0% 1185 Mark MILLIGAN (AUS) 0% 1032 Oscar USTARI (ARG) 0% 961 Luka MODRIC (CRO) 0% 937 Lukasz FABIANSKI (POL) 0% 859 Haminu DRAMANI (GHA) 0% 797 Artem MILEVSKYI (UKR) 0% 471 Scott CARSON (ENG) 0% 448 Assimiou TOURE (TOG) 0% 417 Hedwiges MADURO (NED) 0% 351 Johan DJOUROU (SUI) 0% 289 Jose MONTIEL (PAR) 0% 275 Hipolito MARIO (ANG) 0% 191 Dmytro CHIGRYNSKIY (UKR) 0% 180 Blerim DZEMAILI (SUI) 0% 148 Oleksandr IATSENKO (UKR) 0% 138 Bogdan SHUST (UKR) 0% 137
anything chosen by fans is stupid, its like the allstar game in the nhl where the fans picked the players --> two guys on the internet voted for the same average player like 30,000 times or something to get him in......this award would gain legitimacy if it was picked by coaches or players........ but also, i mean they should wait till the tournament is over to see who the best young player was......
