[teammelli34]

i know man thats bull.
these ignorant people.

[persiangodfather]

did u expect them to put karimi? maybe mahdavikia..

[Darvish11]

ok first of all karimi is better than nakamura and at least 15 other players

and to show that i am not biased, valencia is my favorite spanish team, but albelda 37th?! Someone has seen something i havent. And no juaquin at all?!?! Are you telling me that nakamura and carrager are better than JUAQUIN!?!?!?

and paul scholes is 17th ahead of villa?! Whoever thinks scholes is better than villa is RETARDED. straight up RETARDED.

loooooooool beckham 43rd

im not even going to comment on quaresmas ranking because these idiots have probably never seen him play.

oh btw 3 goals last weekend for porto, 2 amazing crosses from quaresma that lead to headers and he got the "hockey 2nd assist" on third. just fyi


and c ronaldo second? looooooooool.

[Tooyedarbazeh]

the over-rated cristiano ronaldo is over-rated once again

[IranSoccer#8]

Why is Peter Cech #11? He isn't even that good.

[Persian]

did u expect them to put karimi? maybe mahdavikia..

ali karimi is a f*ck up, he had the potential to be in the top 30 on that list....

[persiangodfather]

quagliarella shud be on thislist

and hargreaves hasnt done much to impress, i think nekou is muchhh better.

[Arian]

wow vidic the sh!tty defender is there and not even gerrard or torres are there. tevez can't even score a goal this season and he's 44th!!

[teammelli34]

gerrard is the hs like 6th my man.

[ardi11]

i think that beckham is also overrated

[milad]

all rankings suck. cristiano 2nd? LOL! messi is also too high.

btw its funny how 4 of the top 7 are on barcelona but they havent done anything this season.

[Suprah]

The season Paul Scholes had last year, returning from an eye injury that made Chris Sutton retire, and at his age, FULLY F***IN DESERVES HIS SPOT

So does Cristiano Ronaldo. Aged only 22 and had a rip roaring season scoring 20+ goals for a winger. Beat that.

Tevez, who couldnt score for 19 games, then single-handedly saved West Ham's arse from relegation last season, and to him being mentioned is justified.

Bear in mind, this is a list of the best players according to a few people for LAST SEASON, not the current season or overall.
