Sheva has won the Golden Ball

Sheva has won the Golden Ball

according to La Gazzetta the most reliable paper in Italy he has won it, we wait just the official news
I was shocked this morning because they didn't put it as probable or didn't say: he's leading. No, they stated SHEVCHENKO HAS WON IT. HE'S THE 6TH MILAN PLAYER TO WIN THE GOLDEN BALL

The case is this: obviously some of you can say it's not reliable, but i tell ya that La Gazzetta dello Sport is one of the most reliable sport papers in Europe, so if they wrote that they must know or have good informers. They said his advantadge is too big to be filled by his followers Deco and Ronaldinho. I know the journalists and they are reliable, Gazzetta is known to be pretty serious, hardly involved by market speculations.

What do you think? I believe last year we knew Nedved was the winner far before the official news. Do you believe this one?

[rae]

Even though i don't agree with his views i still want to congradulate him on his acheivement

[Giovanni]

Even if he did that I can not congratulate him. Until he rebuts his anoucement about recent events in Ukraina.
Sad but true.
:d55: :d55: :d55: :d55: :d55: :d55:

[Reza]

His footballing achievments have absolutely NOTHING to do with what he said or didn't say politically. I won't get into some of the political beliefs of past football stars cause then we must take back our congrats from some of them too?

About the news itself, if true, its very deserving and a great news for him and the team.

[ariel]

I couldn`t care less about his political beliefs.....he is one of those Milan will always be proud of.....FORZA SHEVA!!!!

And yes to answer Gio`s original question,i`ve heard the same news in Serbia,quoted from La Gazzeta Dello Sport and they have always been represented as highly reliable....so yes..in my opinion he has won it and
damn right he deserved to win it

:rone:

[Angel_Cic]

bravo sheva!!!! :proud: he definetly deserves it :)

[la_dynamite86]

I agree...Sheva isn't politician, he's football player. I also don't believe that stuff written/said about him.

- There's nobody but Sheva who deserves the Award! FORZA Sheva!

[Nona]

CONGRATULATIONS SHEVA
:gonova: :gonova: :gonova: :gonova:

[rae]

It matters me much. I was gronw in very exraordinary circumstances. I know the life and situation in Ukraina cuz the same was in my country. So such anouncements can not be unheard by me. I do not try to condemn him cuz I do not know it was true or not, I have no clue, but such speculations make my heart bleed - beloved player form my TEAM Milan proclaims the things I abominate most in my life. What should I do?! I am totaly prostrated....:depress:

[ACMILAN1983]

I'll wait till its officially confirmed before congratulating him

[Xudong]

Big congratulations to sheva! he really deserves it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nata]

Well I haven`t been to this site in AGES.

I hope it`s true..once again Gio, thanx for telling me on msn. This is great news..one of my favourite players..and I knew he was gna get it..and im so friggin happy cuz he deserves it..but hey we dont wanna get TOO happy...cuz it`s not official yet.

[acmilan89]

First, I have never believed in this accolade since the season they ignored Paolo Maldini's achievements. I do not care what they say about defenders find it harder to win this award.

Second, whether Shevchenko wins this "Golden Ball" is of little significance to me. If he does, he deserves it and we all know it. If he doesn't, we still know that he's still a great player. And it's a big bonus to know that a great player like him plays for a great team like Milan.

Forza Milan!

[XZeRo3003]

Well, I've got a question to ponder. Will the fact that he wins the trophy or not affect his season??????

[Kurt Cobain]

Totally deserved! :firedev:
The source is a reliable one and I'm taking it for granted.
And I don't think it'll affect the rest of his season.
Bravo Sheva!

[almilan]

finally he is getting the recognition he deserves

[triniman]

Even if he did that I can not congratulate him. Until he rebuts his anoucement about recent events in Ukraina.
Sad but true.

Kenny, I don't see why this award should affect Sheva's performances.

[housin7]

mk, you are MM grandfather. :p

[kris]

What exactly have Sheva said?

[Nadir]

i'll wait till the official news.

[ACMILAN1983]

mk, you are MM grandfather. :p

it's really hillarious :rotfl:

yet he's younger than me :D

Kris, the politics side of things are about who Sheva apparently supported during the Ukrainian elections. Thats what has been made into a fuss on this thread.

[Giovanni]

mk, you are MM grandfather. :p

it's really hillarious :rotfl:
we have one only "father " here and it's Billy Montreal the

i guess this is your lesson in the power of words.....
anyway i'm straying off the topic........

i really hope sheva gets the award......it would be a welcomed boost to him and his countrymen

[Xudong]

triniman IS a fair person, and rae, i am sorry i am afraid that you are acting weird (another off-topic point: the orange color is torturing my eyes. :D ). this is a place for us to share the love towards our beloved team and stars, usually political opinions should be refrained, especially for such a magnificent and cherishable occasion.

FORZA SHEVA!!!
FORZA MILAN!!!

Deco: I Deserve The Balon D'Or
11/28/2004 8:12:00 PM
Deco has declared that he deserves to win the Balon D’Or after scoring the goal that gave Barcelona victory over Getafe.
The Portuguese midfielder is on the list of nominations for the award given by France Fotball and has decided that he is should be the winner.

"The great players are always there in the decisive moments, that’s when they shine, and I was always there at the difficult times for Porto and playing well," he explained.

"Without doubt, because of that I think that I deserve the Balon D’Or."

Barça won 2-1 in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez to move nine points clear at the top of the table on Saturday night.
------------------------------------------------------------------
What a f*cking joke - all sorts of players and coaches, including Murinho, have said that Sheva is the worthy Golden Ball Winner and since nobody has backed him up, the "mighty" Deco has decided to do it himself.

[Nona]

When will it be official ?

[Xudong]

december 14?

[Giovanni]

how arrogant is that deco..i dislike self important players or teams
what a great difference between him and sheva, who thought firstly about his team's achievements

[Nona]

hi guys, I would like you to read what Pelé says:
http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/oct31c.html

[Nona]

And this is Adriano's answer:
http://www.goal.com/NewsDetail.aspx?idNews=34678&idSez=16

I start to like him....lol

[ACMILAN1983]

Although I don't like listening to Pele's comments normally, I'm glad he noted a good number of Milan players.

As for Adriano's response, I think its fair what he said, as his form has been far too good to say he isn't likely to become great and saying Sheva deserves it VERY true ;)

As for Deco, if he said that then he's a fool. Imo, I don't think he deserves to be amongst the very top candidates, he isn't as good imo.

[argo]

that's right, Dev.. Deco is dreaming of becoming a great player in football history. :tong: :yuck:
He is a good player indeed.. but not that GREAT yet..

Dream on, Deco...

[kenny_shev]

Deco has not been that great since he plays along Ronnie at Barca. IMHO, Ronni always outshines Deco. On any days, i would pick Ronnie over Deco to win that award. Too bad, Sheva is the best outta the lot.

[K77SH C]

The word great is used far too often and Deco certainly aint great as everyone seems to agree :hmmm: The only other player who deserves it is Ronaldhinio. Personally, I cant decide who desreves it more. If it dosnt go to either Sheva or Ron the prize is a joke :nunu:

[Henrik]

At least this year the top candidates are actually worthy of the price. Noone can blame the committee if Sheva, Ronaldino, Deco or Henry wins it. It has not been like that every year...

[K77SH C]

I wouldnt agree with Deco winning it and Henry definately doesnt deserve it, its got to be a two horse race

[ACMILAN1983]

I wouldnt agree with Deco winning it and Henry definately doesnt deserve it, its got to be a two horse race

I agree (I have to add this bit in brackets coz it said my message too short :D )

[MIRZA]

I don't know why most of people think that Deco is great, he is good but there are many better midfielders then him, and I don't know why is he with Sheva in semifinnal for Golden ball, Ronaldinho is better then he.
We aren't only one (Milan fans) who say that Sheva deserve Golden ball, there are many other who say that. He had great season (for Milan in Serie A and CL and for Ukraine)and he has now good seson 9goals in Serie A, 3 in Cl and I think 4 for Ukraine...

Shev up for FIFA award Monday 29 November, 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milan ace Andriy Shevchenko is on the three-man shortlist for the FIFA World Player of the Year award.

The Ukrainian striker has enjoyed a stunning 2004 and is now in contention with Ronaldino of Barcelona and Arsenal’s Thierry Henry for the honour.

Shevchenko has found the net with consistency for both club and country, ending the last campaign as the Serie A top scorer.

The winner will be announced on December 20 at FIFA’s World Player Gala at Zurich's Opera house.

In the past, national bosses voted for the winner but the sport’s world governing body have changed the system this year.

Male and female captains of every national team will be eligible to vote along with their tacticians, plus FIPRO – the global body for professional players.

Former Juve star Zinedine Zidane won the honour last year but this is the first time since 1999 that no Real Madrid players are included in the final three-man list.

man even adriano belives that he is the best at now
nedved said same as adriano
mourinho

sheva is the best at the moment and he deserved it more than anyone.
if ronaldinho wins it,ı will be so sad but if ronnie wins kaka deserves it more than him.
sheva

believe me he will win both golden ball and fifa player of the year
he could
everyone thinks he deserves it more than anyone.

[Giovanni]

nope the FIFA will go to Ronaldinho, while the BALLON D'OR will go to Sheva

I couldn't agree more. I don't know what the fuss about Deco is. :confused: He is a good player, but not good enough to warrant consideration for awards such as this. If it is true, congrats to Sheva!!! Recognized at last for being the player we all know he is and has been! :respect:

Deco is up here for a simple reason, FC Porto and Portugal. Well, not JUST that, he's a great player, but it was with Porto where he performed so well that he is making this fuss. Even on the portugal National team he didn't play GREAT, but he still reached Semi-finals with them. He's got a great vision and great passes. If he wins the award, it is more thanks to his acheivements rather than his talents

Platini snubs Golden Shev
30.11 || webmaster || $source

Source: Football Italia

Juventus great Michel Platini claims that Andriy Shevchenko doesn’t deserve to win the Golden Ball.

The Milan ace is being widely tipped to be named as the European Footballer of the Year but Platini disagrees.

The Frenchman maintains that Deco’s achievements with Porto and Portugal in 2004 merit recognition.

"I would give it to the Barcelona player," stated the three times winner. "Especially when you consider what he has won.

"Winning trophies is the only valid criteria to really judge who deserves to net the award."

Deco won the Portuguese title and the European Cup before his big money move to Spain.

Meanwhile, Platini also commented on the fortunes of his former club Juventus. "They got their transfer campaign right," he stated.

"They also have a great Coach in Fabio Capello so they are favourites to win Lo Scudetto. The Milan clubs are playing well but Juve are too good."

Platini was then asked whether he could one-day return to Juventus to work as a club official.

"I don’t think it is possible to have two relationships with the same lover," he replied.

The legendary No 10 was also quizzed on comparisons between himself and Milan ace Kaka.

"We are two different players," he explained. "I was more of a playmaker, whereas Kaka can play at speed. I don’t think we are similar."

[K77SH C]

He forgot to say kaka is better :devf: Is it me or does he seem reeeeally arrogant as far milan is concerned :rolleyes:

:haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

[Nadir]

platini who?
Milan’s Andriy Shevchenko will be named as the European Footballer of the Year, according to whispers in Italy.

Although no official announcement will be made until December 13, a number of media reports insist that the player will be handed the Golden Ball.

It has been alleged that Milan have already been informed of the result by ‘France Football’, the magazine who organise the award.

Shev is expected to be handed the trophy at the ‘Canal Plus’ studios in 10 days time after his victory is confirmed.

Other sources have even suggested that the Ukrainian has already taken part in the photo shoot and completed an interview for the French magazine.

It is also understood that Milan Vice-president Adriano Galliani met with colleagues on Thursday to organise a celebration for the striker.

Shevchenko will only be able to parade the Golden Ball in front of the San Siro faithful on January 6 when Lecce arrive.

That is because Milan are away on December 18 when they play Juventus, who ironically have the current holder of the accolade in the form of Pavel Nedved.

If the 28-year-old is confirmed as the winner, it will be the seventh time that a Milan star has been named as Europe’s best player.

His predecessors were: Gianni Rivera (1969), Ruud Gullit (1987), Marco Van Basten (1988/89/92) and George Weah (1995).

[humanTORCH]

sheva ım so happy yes my brother is the best player in the world at now.

So you are Jo sheva?! the younger or the older one? :grinser:

[Jim_UK]

Ronaldinho has won the world player of the year, Henry came second and Shevchenko came third. It was on the news this morning and on the front of the World Soccer magazine.

I'm not sure if this is the same World Player of the Year award, but i think it is.

[Laudrup]

Ronaldinho has won the World Soccer Magazine's world player of the year, not to be mistaken for France Football's Ballon d'Or or Fifa's world player of the year. It's the same award Paolo Maldini won in 94 and it's the readers of the magazine who've decided. Ronaldinho got 28,6 percent of the votes and Sheva 22,2.

[ACM]

World Soccer Magazine's winner is a good indication of how the FIFA award will pan out. Since 1996 I think, who ever has been selected on World Soccer Magazine's poll has gone on to win the real thing.

Forza Milan

[Ninaad]

I think World Soccer Magzine award is not entirely based on the achievements, but is an opinion poll of the fans. It just means that Ronaldinho has more fans than sheva or henry.

The award is not the same as Fifa World Player title which will be officially announced on Dec 20. A lot of sites have announced Sheva as the unofficial winner.

[Giovanni]

after the match with fiorentina sheva will fly with gandini and braida to paris for the golden ball

there are no doubts anymore
just waiting for the official news

Nope. It is voted by the fans. I should know since I voted ;) 'World Soccer' usually gets it right(or very close) because most subscribers are fairly intelligient. Last year Nedved won the award by a landslide even though FIFA gave it to Zidane. It's hard to argue against Ronaldinho this year since he has been brillient so I won't criticise their choice. I don't think it matters to Sheva that he didn't win this award since the only award I've heard him say he cherishes is the Balon d'Or. And he will win in it in the next couple of days :)

[Goirre]

The Golden Ball doesn't mean anything to me anymore, how players such as Baresi and Maldini never won it is beyond my understanding. Having said that, Sheva is the worthy winner this season. I am extremelly happy for him, I congratulate him and hopefully this award will encourage him to improve his level day after day.

!!!FORZA KING SHEVA!!!

"Lo dedico alla mia Ucraina". Il bomber ha preceduto Deco con uno scarto di 36 punti e Ronaldinho di 42. Adriano è sesto, Buffon 17°, Maldini 28°.

PARIGI, 13 dicembre 2004 - Manca solo l'annuncio ufficiale, atteso per le 18.50, ma è Andry Shevchenko il Pallone d'Oro 2004: l'ulteriore conferma, dopo le ammissione di ieri del diretto interessato, viene da Parigi. Shevchenko ha battuto con uno scarto di 36 punti il portoghese Deco e di 42 punti il brasiliano Ronaldinho. Adriano si è classificato al sesto posto, Gianluigi Buffon, al diciassettesimo posto, è il primo degli unici due italiani in classifica. L'altro è Paolo Maldini, ventottesimo.
"È una giornata molto speciale per me. Sono felice di aver vinto il Pallone d'oro. Penso di aver meritato questo premio prestigioso e lo voglio regalare alla mia gente in Ucraina, al mio popolo in questo momento particolare". Parole rilasciate all'aeroporto di Linate in attesa di partire per Parigi.
Nella classifica finale di France Football, come si diceva, l'interista Adriano è giunto sesto con 27 punti, ma prima di lui, al quinto posto, compare il nome di Zagorakis, il giocatore del Bologna, alle spalle di Thierry Henry. Pavel Nedved, Pallone d'oro uscente, è arrivato settimo con 23 preferenze, il britannico Rooney ottavo con 22. Buffon ha ottenuto gli stessi punti di Dellas (5), il capitano del Milan, Maldini, una sola preferenza.

Dinho Congratulates Sheva
12/13/2004 7:29:00 PM
Barcelona magician Ronaldinho complimented Andriy Shevchenko for winning the 2004 Ballon D’Or award as Europe’s best player.
“He deserves this award for all the great work he has done,” said the Brazilian, who came in third in the running.

Ronaldinho’s teammate Deco came in second despite having won the Champions League and Portuguese league titles with Porto last season.

However Ronaldinho doesn’t think Deco should be disappointed for not having clinched the prestigious accolade.

“Players like Deco, that placed in the top positions of the list, should feel privileged to be ranked so highly,” he said.

Shevchenko takes "Ballon d'Or"

AC Milan and Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko has been named European Footballer of the Year for 2004.

Prolific form
The 28-year-old finished as top scorer in Serie A in the 2003/04 season with 24 goals as Milan won the title in convincing fashion. Shevchenko has showed no sign of slowing down in the present campaign, with three goals in five UEFA Champions League matches and eleven more strikes in the Italian top flight.

Nedved successor
Shevchenko succeeds Juventus FC midfielder Pavel Nedved as the winner of the Ballon d'Or, which has been organised by France Football since 1956, beating the likes of FC Barcelona forward Ronaldinho and Arsenal FC striker Thierry Henry who are in the running with the Ukrainian for next week's FIFA World Player of the Year award.

Deco in second place
Shevchenko collected 175 votes in the France Football poll, with Barcelona's Portuguese international Deco in second place with 139 votes. His Camp Nou team-mate Ronaldinho was third with 133 votes and French international Henry fourth with 80 votes.

'Special day'
"I'm very happy to have received this award," Shevchenko said. "I'd like to thank all those who helped me, especially my fellow Ukrainians. I'm Ukrainian and proud of it. I dedicate this award to my people."

Third Ukrainian winner
Shevchenko is the third Ukrainian to win the award, following Oleh Blokhin and Ihor Belanov, who took the title in 1975 and 1986 respectively while representing the Soviet Union. "I grew up in Ukraine and saw Belanov and Blokhin win the Golden Ball," he said. "They were my first idols." His success is the seventh time a Milan player has won the coveted award, with only Juventus, on eight, boasting more titles.

Shev lifts Golden Ball Monday 13 December, 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milan star Andriy Shevchenko has been crowned as the 2004 European Footballer of the Year.

The Ukrainian was being heavily tipped to win the Golden Ball and his victory has been confirmed this evening.

The striker finished 36 points clear of Portuguese playmaker Deco and 42 ahead of the latter’s Barcelona teammate Ronaldinho.

"This is a very special day for me," said the 28-year-old. "I’m happy to have won this award and I think I deserve it too.

"I would like to dedicate this victory to the people of the Ukraine who are having their difficulties right now."

Shevchenko, who succeeds Pavel Nedved of Juventus, becomes the fifth Rossoneri star to win the accolade.

Gianni Rivera was the first when the midfielder triumphed in 1969. Ruud Gullit was next in 1987, while Marco Van Basten won in 1988, 1989 and 1992. George Weah was the last in 1995.

The highest placed Italian in this year’s list, voted for by 52 European journalists, was Gigi Buffon who came in 17th.

The only other Italian to have registered a vote was Paolo Maldini. The legendary captain of Milan was 28th.

Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney has won the ‘Golden Boy’ prize for the best Under-21 player in Europe.

The Man Utd talent received the honour from the Italian Tuttosport newspaper, finishing ahead of teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres of Atletico Madrid, Chelsea’s Arjen Robben and Obafemi Martins of Inter.

Golden Ball votes:
1) Shevchenko (Milan) 175 pts.
2) Deco 139 pts.
3) Ronaldinho 133 pts.
4) Henry 80 pts.
5) Zagorakis (Bologna) 44 pts.
6) Adriano (Inter) 27 pts.
7) Nedved (Juventus) 23 pts.
8) Rooney 22 pts.
9) Ricardo Carvalho, Van Nistelrooy 18 pts.
11) Charisteas 15 pts.
12) Baros, Cristiano Ronaldo 11 pts.
14) Ibrahimovic (Juventus) 8 pts.
15) Eto'o, Kakà (Milan) 7 pts.
17) Dellas (Roma), Buffon (Juventus), Drogba, Lampard, Morientes 5 pts.
22) Figo 4 pts.
23) Zidane 3 pts.
24) Baraja, Giuly, Maniche, Nikopolidis 2 pts.
28) Maldini (Milan), Vicente 1 pt.

Congratulations for Sheva the king winning the most prestigious award in football world . He completely deserves that and he has done exceptionally well this year .

However Ronaldinho doesn’t think Deco should be disappointed for not having clinched the prestigious accolade.

“Players like Deco, that placed in the top positions of the list, should feel privileged to be ranked so highly,” he said.

Realise what ronaldinho is trying to say to Deco in a nice way(like he always is)... "You're lucky enough to have even gotten on the list, much less 2nd, so stfu since you will always play second fiddle to me, much less touch Shevchenko"

[Dave]

Biiiiiiiiiiggg Congratulations to Sheva! Now he have Golden ball!
Forza Shevchenko and Milan!

Romario won the FIFA award in 1994, not Stoichkov.

Now that Sheva has won Ballon d'Or, I think Ronaldinho will just nick enough votes to win the FIFA Player of the Year. Let's hope I'm wrong. ;)

[maldini020]

Congtratulations SHEVA!!!! you are the best! i hope he will the FIFA award too! He is simply the best player this year!!! FORZA SHEVA!!!!!!!!!! FORZA MILAN!!!!! :):):):):)

[MacoKing]

Congtratulations SHEVA!!!

[Muppy]

Sheva fully deserves it!

Lets hope Ukraine can qualify for the WC finals then he'll for once get the chance to shine on the international stage!

[Ninaad]

Romario won the FIFA award in 1994, not Stoichkov.

Now that Sheva has won Ballon d'Or, I think Ronaldinho will just nick enough votes to win the FIFA Player of the Year. Let's hope I'm wrong. ;)
My bad, I stand corrected. Romario did win it in 94'

Notice that in the last 10 years or more, the FIFA award has NEVER gone to a player outside of Italy and Spain.

So, at-least Henry's chances of winning it look bleak ;)

Shevchenko edges teammate Ronaldinho for Golden Ball award

Posted: Monday December 13, 2004 3:58PM;
Updated: Monday December 13, 2004 3:58PM

PARIS (AP) -- AC Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko won the Golden Ball award as Europe's best soccer player Monday, edging club teammate Ronaldinho and Barcelona midfielder Deco.

"I would like to thank all the people who have helped me win it and I would like to dedicate the Golden Ball to the people of Ukraine," Shevchenko told Canal Plus television. "I am Ukrainian and proud to be. It is hard to talk about the situation in Ukraine, but the people deserve a democracy."

The winner was chosen in France Football magazine's annual poll of journalists.

Shevchenko, 28, has scored 11 goals in 15 Italian league games this season for second-place Milan. He scored 24 goals last season.

Shevchenko received 175 points, Portugal's Deco got 139, and Brazil's Ronaldinho 133. France's Thierry Henry was fourth, followed by Greece's Theodoros Zagorakis.

Last year, Shevchenko finished fourth behind Pavel Nedved. He's the third Ukrainian to win the award, after Oleg Blokhin in 1975 and Igor Belanov in 1986, and the seventh Milan player.

Shevchenko's brilliance is manifold. He is quick, alert and elusive inside the penalty box, strong in the air and regularly scores spectacular goals from outside the area and any angle.

He has helped unbeaten Ukraine lead its 2006 World Cup qualifying group with 11 points from five matches and scored twice in a 3-0 win away to Turkey in November. He totals 24 goals in 56 internationals.

Since joining the Italian giant in 1999 he has scored 136 goals overall -- 102 in 163 serie A games and 20 in 49 European matches.

He lives in a huge villa along the shores of Lake Como along with American wife Kirsten and also models for Giorgio Armani.

[kenny_shev]

last night, i saw a bit of the Golden ball presentation to sheva on SBS ( the only TV channel in Australia that sheds some light into soccer) and even on channel 10, who normally doesnt give a stuff about soccer. Sheva was clearly emotional. And man ...he looks so elegant. I am really really happy for him..hope he kicks Juve's asses

[Dave]

Hope he will win "palyer of the world"! :devs: Forza Sheva!!!!!!!!

[cab]

Finally! There's justice in this world! :devf:

[Rex]

Before the award being announced the day before..I'm all for Sheva though. And now he won it. He deserves it as achievement of the year for his pro footballing career so far.

Congrats Sheva! :p283:

[Warro Bantan]

CONGRATS Sheva!!!!!! He is my fav player, and even though I knew from before that he would win, I am still estatic that what I was told b4 has come to pass.

He definately deserves the award, and maybe even the FIFA award as well, though Deco has a better shot at it IMO.

FORZA Sheva!!!!!

[Dil dil]

How can Deco win the fifa award when the 3 players in it are ronaldinho, henry and sheva? you can't win if you aren't in it. :ilol:

...but King Sheva certainly deserved it.....just like :star: San Paolo :star: deserved it last year, and :star: San Franco :star: deserved it many years ago....oh well, I am extremely glad for Lo Tzar though :proud:

[Dave]

IMO FIFA award will be given to Henry! Though I expect it from Sheva!!!
Forzaaa Sheva!!! Forza Milan and Rossoneri!!!!!!!!! :cheers:

[MIRZA]

Last year when Nedved won Golden ball our Bosnian TVstation (FTV) show that ceremony and now when Sheva got it they didn't even mentioned him. :angf:

[Warro Bantan]

How can Deco win the fifa award when the 3 players in it are ronaldinho, henry and sheva? you can't win if you aren't in it. :ilol:

Hey, everyone makes mistakes!! :v46: :D :pom: But indeed, IMO Deco is more deserving of that award than Ronnie and Henry....not more deserving than Sheva...unless Sheva isnt on the short list.... :1d31:

[Josy7]

i think the award will go to henry :p231: even tho sheva deserves it alot more! :p283: ... i think if henry doesnt win ...wegner will have a fit :w209: it would be amazing to see sheva win it!!! :w155: :gonova: :gonova: :gonova: :gonova: :gonova:

[argo]

omg.. I'm late...

congrats to Andriy Shevchenko
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

[Nata]

I agree with the ones who said that Deco(even if I don`t like him) is more desering then Henry.

[Josy7]

But deco isnt up for it...

the short list is

Ronaldinho
Henry
:v408: Sheva :gonova:


so deco has NO chance.

[KAKA']

SCHEVA...u're the BIGGEST&GREATEST striker all over the World!!!

CONGRATS. for ur Award!!!! :diablo:

[Nata]

Dude I didn`t say he WOULD win it..I said he deserves it over Henry.

[Dave]

Dude I didn`t say he WOULD win it..I said he deserves it over Henry.
Almost agree with you Nata! :bri:

[Lombardia]

the award for FIFA world player of the year is tonight, its voted by national managers and team captains from what i've heard, so good luck sheva, but as he was won the golden ball something tells me either ron or henry will win it, but i'm praying for andriy!

[Nata]

Yeah I agree with Lombardia, most likely Sheva wont get it, but we`re never 100% sure.

Blatter sayd that he wants Henry to win it..and usualy what Blatter wants, Blatter gets.

Good luck to all 3 players. :D

[maldini020]

Ronaldinho has won it!

by Gazzetta:
Il Fifa World Player al brasiliano del Barcellona che raccoglie 620 voti e precede così il francese Henry dell'Arsenal (552) e il Pallone d'Oro 2004 (253).

[Nata]

I saw that comming..congrats to him :D

[ACMILAN1983]

Congrats to Ronny

Shame that Sheva had so many less votes than the others

[Nata]

Dev, it was probably because of
A) The national team..Ronaldinho plays on Brasil, Henry France..a bit different from Ukraine.
b) Sheva already won Golden Ball.

But it`s all good..this year was kind of predictable, I had the feeling Sheva would get Golden Ball, and Ronaldinho FIFA.(and Henry nothing :D)

Congrats to both players!Well deserved awards. :)

[Dave]

Congrats Ronaldinho. He really desreves it! Though I was for Sheva :cry: !
Anyway the Golden Ball is ours! :rock3:
