I asked your thoughts on this, in the footie thread, but you hooligans did not reply, so we'll start a thread dedicated to this award!

The nominees are Henry from Arsenal, Shevchenko from AC Milan, and Ronaldinho from Barcelona.

So who do you think's gonna be crowned?

I'm going with Sheva, he's had a hell of a year, and puts it in the net on a very consistant basis. And he's probably more valuable to his team than the other two are, league-wise, and internationally.

Prob Ronaldhino. Sheva is going to win the "France Football Magazine Award", so Ronaldihno will get the FIFA player of the year. In Europe, the first mentioned award is more prestigious than the second. PRetty much everybody remembers who got it last year and the year before last, but hardly no one remembers who received the FIFA player of the year award.

I assumed the FIFA one was the most prestigious, but you two would know more about this than me...

I don't think he will.

Who?

Just because is french ain't good right Izzy? The FIFA player of the year should be the most prestigious award cause it's chosen by coaches of all national teams worlwide. "The France Football Magazine Award" is only given to players who happen to play in Europe. Every great player who happens to play here ( at least in spain) would like to receive the France Football award than the FIFA player of the year. Simply because it is more prestigious in Europe.

I said before, will say it again. Sheva will win the France Football Award and Ronaldinho de FIFA player of the year.

Er...okay, but i happen to live in ''Europe'' too ya-know, and the Ballon D'or (as its formally called, feel free to launch into a tirade against me if my spelling is incorrect) is definetly second place to the World Player of the Year award. But ultimately, who cares peace

Oh yeah, gotta watch out for that hihi

So the way I see it, the FIFA one encompasses all, and the magazine only europe... why would europeans prefer their guy to be the big fish in the small pond, so to say?

Nah...my french is probably worse than yours. Maybe Dirt as he is from Canada knows better.

Ok, The best players in the world play in Europe. Plain and simple. The Ballon D'Or - as Izzy Brilliantly point out? Tongue - is given to any player who plays in Europe. Every great players dream is to come here ( either UK, Italy or Spain) and play for the very best. That's why argentinians, brazilians, uruguayans...leave their country to find glory in Europe. The FIFA Player of the year is like a second best trophy. A consolation prize.

In Spain, every newspaper, sport magazine, sports tv channel will give more relevance to? the Ballon D'Or than the FIFA player of the year. It may be different somewhere else, but this is the way it works over here year after year.

Two things:

The French Magazine award? More prestigous? In England? (It's in Europe too, even though we don't want to touch the rest of you)

You're having a bubble bath mate.

On Deco being better than all three:

lol.

Oh, and a third bonus thing:

There is no chance in the slightest of Henry getting it. Guessing which of the other two will win though is like guessing heads or tails.

At least here in Brazil, the Fifa Award is more prestigious than the french one.

Ronaldinho will win, no doubt... he's the best.

He may be the best...

...But that doesn't mean that he'll win.  Wink

It wouldn't suprise me at all if Shevchenko got it. Likewise with said 'the best'.

An up and comming Brazilian star (he's actually really good now) Adriano, i think it was, said that he beleives "Shevchenko should win. He is the best."

Yeah! I'm inclined to agree Smiley This when a fellow Brazilian is in the running, good stuff.

Pele had some critisizms about Adriano's play and he replied that Pele is jealous!

Talk about speaking your mind.

{i'm very sure it was Adriano, but if i'm wrong, somebody correct me}

Do you mean Robinho?

Edit: I've heard nothing of him saying what you say, but Robinho is 'the next Pele', if that is who you have in mind. It could be somebody else.

I would have said Henry.. the guy is amazing. Having said that.. havent seen much of Sheva since moving to Australia, as we only really get the Premier League here.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about Henry.  The post before his ended with "I think Henry will win it" - so he said "I don't think he will".  It didn't seem too complicated to me. Undecided

I think Ronaldhino will win - he seems the most respected by coaches at the moment.  I'd love it if Henry won, but I doubt he will because he's never really excelled in the Champions League.

Really?

Oh Jesus, I've never even heard of him, and this Robinho is supposed to be the dogs.

Looks like another world cup for Brazil.  Sad
