FIFA nominees for World Player of the Year

Soccernet.com has observed that FIFA's list of nominees for its World Player of the Year award consists of 6 Spaniards.

That doesn't surprise me - given both the high quality of that team and it's wonderful individual players.

Still - we think the award will go to Cristiano after the coaches and captains have cast their votes.

Here is the full list of nominees:

Emmanuel Adebayor (Arsenal and Togo), Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid and Argentina), Andrei Arshavin (Zenit St Petersburg and Russia), Michael Ballack (Chelsea and Germany), Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus and Italy), Iker Casillas (Real Madrid and Spain), Deco (Chelsea and Portugal), Didier Drogba (Chelsea and Ivory Coast), Samuel Eto'o (Barcelona and Cameroon), Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal and Spain), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool and England), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Inter Milan and Sweden), Andres Iniesta (Barcelona and Spain), Kaka (AC Milan and Brazil), Frank Lampard (Chelsea and England), Lionel Messi (Barcelona and Argentina), Franck Ribery (Bayern Munich and France), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United and Portugal), John Terry (Chelsea and England), Fernando Torres (Liverpool and Spain), Ruud van Nistelrooy (Real Madrid and Netherlands), David Villa (Valencia and Spain) and Xavi (Barcelona and Spain).

  2. Yes Ronaldo is the best. I like Becksy but he was never the best in the world. Where are you from? Are you a United fan?

  3. Cesc Fabregas. He has the ability to dribble through gruoups of people, and make game changing passes. He also has a killer shot.

  4. Great player, Cesc. Could he crack the top ten of the best players in the world?

    Have you voted for him at our poll at bestplayerintheworld.com?

    I think that he will be Xabi's replacement at Barca in the next few years.
