Well I'd recommend these two:tgabawm wrote:The Ballon d'Or is a quite famous award given by the most popular French football magazine every year... Awarding the best players of the world...
Paul Scholes (Angleterre - Manchester United)
Ruud Van Nistelrooy (Pays-Bas - Manchester United)
But then again I'm a bit biased Hang on i'll try and make a more balanced selection
DECO, of course!
I had seen the list before and I could not decide which would be my candidate. My guess is that the winner will get it not only for his talent and performance during the last season(/year?). I'm thinking of Becks, Ronaldo or Zizou (is it like that?).
Pauleta? Nop, next year perhaps, after scoring the silver goal on the euro04 final against france:-)

I like the look of Nedved, too...
...but I'll ask (because I can't be arsed to check) what the ratio of defenders to midfielders to strikers is in that list. 'Tis easier for a rich man to go through the eye of a needle than for a back to become footballer of the year.
