FIFA World Player of the year & Ballon D'or

Gerrard cant win it, the only tournament he and his team excelled in was the CL, where Kaka outperformed him and Milan beat Liverpool too.

C.Ronaldo is more of a contender because (and dont slate me for this) Utd did have a better season than Milan overall. League champions, FA Cup finalists and CL semi finalists is a more complete package. If Utd had lost to Chelsea or Liverpool in the other semi and there hadnt been a direct clash between Ronaldo and Kaka then i would say Ronaldo would be possibly favourite, but because Utd did play Milan it gives everyone an easy way to compare the 2 players over 2 matches. Obviously over those 2 games Kaka came out on top so he will be favourite over Ronaldo.

Ruud Dog could have been a big challenger if Real had done better in europe. He'll also lose out on individual attention because Reals title challenge was a good collective effort. The Beckham factor will hurt him too, whilst Ruud was scoring at over a goal a game in the crucial end of season games all the attention was on Beckhams imminent LA adventure and whether or not he could end his Real career with a medal

Totti won the golden boot but again it is domestic success so wont count for as much. He will also quite unfairly suffer because of Romas disastrous European demise, even though its hardly his fault they conceded so many goals

The dark horse is Drogba, this will be considered blasphemy here but imho he was unplayable for defences at least as much as Kaka last season, with no fit attacking midfielders all season and a misfiring Sheva it was left to him to drag Chelsea along all season and i dont think any of the others mentioned could've done as well as he did in those circumstances.

So, my personal ratings are:

Drogba
Kaka
C.Ronaldo
Ruud
Totti
Gerrard

And FIFA's will be:

Kaka
C.Ronaldo
Ronaldinho
Zidane
Figo
Lampard

If I am not mistaken, Frank Lampard scored 20+ goals for the fourth season in a row from deep midfield So what else u call a firing midfield???? The midfield of Scholes and Carrick ??? who can't even score 15 goals together all season in all competition
Show some to the best player of ur country

Drogba
Kaka
C.Ronaldo
Ruud
Totti
Gerrard

Plz remove C.Ronaldo and Gerrard from that list and put Kanute and Lampard there and also put Kaka above Drogba

Kaka
C.Ronaldo
Ronaldinho
Zidane
Figo
Lampard

If Fifa has got a litle bit of sense, it won't put Ronaldo in that list, seriously and its as simple as that

why should Gerrard be placed in the list? He is a good player, but did not do any glorious thing during the season nither in the league nor in the Cl or even in the cup.
While Kaka has had a great impact in the CL and was very good in the league. It will be very stupid not to shoose him

why should Gerrard be placed in the list?

Mr Rossoneri mentioned him as a contender and i rated his chances as near zero, thats why he is at the bottom

If I am not mistaken, Frank Lampard scored 20+ goals for the fourth season in a row from deep midfield So what else u call a firing midfield???? The midfield of Scholes and Carrick ??? who can't even score 15 goals together all season in all competition

Deep midfield? he a lot more like a support striker! Chelsea play long ball tactics to Drogba and Lampard is almost always the first player arriving to Drogba's headers and flicks. Lampard also takes all the penalties and most of the free kicks which probably add 5-10 a season to his rate.

Scholes is a playmaker and Carrick is a proper deep midfielder so the comparison is poor, whats next, will you tell us Pirlo is useless comapred to Frank?

That said, Lampard has a career record of 526 games-130 goals, and Scholes has a record of 536 games-137 goals, so Scholes is actually better at Lampards job as well as being a better playmaker!

No

My opinion, my list. Kanoute had a decent season but i wouldnt say he was more impressive than anyone there, like a few other recent exports to La Liga he excelled in an open league and Europes 2nd trophy, i wouldnt even say his all round display was better than Berbatov. I've covered Lampard already and my reason for putting Drogba first was given in my last post soi see no reason to repeat it when you havent actually pointed out anything wrong with it

Kaka must win, he was simply OUTSTANDING on the CL campaign.
