2004 World Fifa Player of the Year award

Dreds

Rumours has it, Buffon is taking this one. My money tho, is still on the best striker in the world today.......Shevchenko.

And they say it's the foreign man I should fear!
But, it's my own kind doin all the killin' here!!!

Now it seems clear to me that Ronaldinho should walk it. He is without doubt, the most exciting and stunning player around. If anyone here saw Barca/Real Madrid (Great match) they'll see what problems he caused.

Granted, their defence is weak, but when you can boss a game that includes the likes of Figo, Zidane, Beckham, Carlos, Eto'o, Deco, Raul and Xavi.. well, it just goes to show what a phenomenomal player he has become.

I remember at the 2002 World Cup, I was not convinced. He seemed good, but nothing stunning. Since his switch to Barca, he has been absolutely sensational. I feel that single-handedly he allowed for the club to invest in players like Deco and Guily, to help Barca recover from their stagnancy. And look at them now - for my money, the best team in Europe.

Still, I think he might be screwed over. Shevchenko always seems popular - and as great as he is - I don't think he, nor anyone has a patch on Big Ron.

Beating Real Madrid today is no biggie. Zidane is still very good, but his best days are clearly behind him. Same with Figo. Beckham is by far the most overrated player in the world. Ronaldo is also overrated. Their defence is also weak. So, dominating Madrid is no big deal. As far as the player of the year award, that will go to Sheva and not cause Ronaldhino is getting ripped off, but because Sheva is the best striker today and without a doubt one of the best ever. It seems like everytime he has the ball, we're gonna see a goal. The truth is, I wish Buffon wins it, but most likely Sheva will get it.
ps: I did see the match btw lol...great game!

Nah, Shevchenko is good. Very good. World class, in fact. But Ronaldinho is something else.

Perhaps you make a few valid points about Madrid.. But did you see Barca/Milan in the Champions League? There's no doubting their quality, and again Ron ran the show. In fact, he triggered their unbeaten run (As someone pointed out), he runs defences ragged each and every week, he's been a sensation in the Champions League.. If Ron doesn't win, it is a daylight robbery.

I hate how strikers get the most recognition. Hardly the most valuable player on the team is a striker and yet they are the ones with the trophies. Also I was talking to my friend and he said that Ronaldhino will probably take it, because he is more popular. While Rona is featured on the world stage with his Brazil, Sheva is hardly seen. But Sheva still is the most deserving.
