[purple_haze]

this is to people who claim that EPL has better players that La liga

Those people must be on something, or they simply prefer brutality to beauty, physique over technique, airball to football

2007-08 - ronaldo was the best
2008-09 - messi is the best

doesn't take a genious to realize that

[persian boy]

loool how did Fat Frank Lampard edge out Eto'o, Daniel Alves, Mascherano etc.
What a horrid ranking. Messi = Best in World.

probably something to do with him getting atleast 20 goals a season for chelsea

but messi was BETTER in 2008-2009 than crystiana in 2007-2008, which is why he deserves the 2008 POY.

Frank Lampard is sooooo much better than Mascherano and much much more important to Chelsea than Daniel Alves and Eto'o are to Barcelona.

i dont think anyone is gonna argue that ronaldo is better than messi..because i think messi is a much better player..but ronaldo had a better 08

lets use videogames as an example..best game of 08 might be 20th overrall in best games of all time..or of that generation

anyone who saw how messiah did this season so far and watched the olympics and euro knows that messiah is the best player of 2008. manchester united won the champs league and league, good for them. but last time i checked man u is not a player.

[Barandeye2006]

i would have liked to see Pirlo listed
as well as gattuso
was ronaldhino on that list he has dropped off but hes up there

[Barandeye2006]

how about King Totti

[shayan_esteghlali]

Nekounam should be second after messi

as fat as he is, i agree 100%.. his big plus is hes consistent for club, but not necessarily for country - hence the reason they started calling him fat frank or my favorite frank the tank.

Benzema is so much overrated, the 14th best player my ass, he is good but defetnetly not in the top 20, i say top 30.

[yashar_fasihnia]

u serious shamim?

I also like the guy, he is one of my favorite player and at 19 he was the best scorer of Ligue1 which is really amazing, but i don't think he is the 14th best player, 24th yes but not 14th.
