"Fifa World Player of the Year"

Thierry Henry, Andrei Shevchenko and Ronaldinho have been shortlisted for the award.

It is the first time since 1999 that a Real Madrid player has not been in the last three and ensures there will be a new name on the trophy when the winner is announced on December 20.

I reckon if Totti had those flailing stepovers, outrageous backheels and such odd looks, he'd get a lot more people here singing his praises. He carried a team for the whole of last year, he's more direct than Ronaldinho, is more creative, and probably scores more goals. Also, his communication with Cassano really does border on the telepathic, when both of them forget their personal problems and their enormous egos, they are even better to watch than Ronaldinho. But that's where the problem lies. He's an idiot. His spitting and stamp on Ramelow means he probably won't win such an award again.... but he should.

That was a bit of a ramble, but basically, I reckon Totti is as good as Ronaldinho.

But Adriano's probably better than either.

Beckham!

Don't see why Joey Joey Joey Cole isn't nominated. Or Maniche.

Ronaldinho to win. Because his teeth make me do the laughing thing.

yeah mebbe but this is shortlisted by "top football men" from FIFA and such like

Buffon should be in there somewhere.
:'{

gota be monkey face ronaldinho

henry, i know it shouldn't effect it but it does, the sheer amount of quality performances he has had in the last 3 or so years he does deserve some recognition

Ronaldinho is simply astounding. He should defo win it.

Yeah actually, Adriano, don't know how I forgot about him.

If Henry had just kept the form he showed at the start of the season up until about now, then he'd be right on target for the award. Now, however, I don't see him taking it - much more of a chance that Ronaldinho will be the player who leaves with it.

Also, Shevchenko over Adriano? Hmmm.
