Rivaldo Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Frank Yallop: Thierry Henry, Pavel Nedved, Wayne Rooney Pat Onstad: Thierry Henry, Pavel Nedved, Ronaldinho The Rooney vote reinforces my belief that Yallop has a bias for young, unproven players.

Loud Mouth Soup Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Well, at least our guys picked the person who should have won...more goals, more assists, more silverware over the year and yet he gets screwed over again. Nice going, FIFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that. The biggest event on the 2004 calender was the Euro Cup, and despite being a boy among men, Rooney played like a man among boys. After going through the list I want to share some of the first-place votes that had me scratching my head. Robert Pires - Vietnam Coach - Mexico Captain Didier Drogba - Togo Coach, Captain - Malawi Coach - Swaziland Captain (Strange that all his First place votes come from Afica) David Beckham - Thailand Captain - Singapore Coach - Israel Captain - Cook Islands Captain Kaka - Mexico Coach - China Coach, Captain - Colombia Coach Roberto Ayala - Palestine Coach - Madagascar Coach Samuel Eto'o - Malawi Captain - St. Vincent & The Grenandine Captain Cafu - Nepal Captain - Bhutan Captain (who had Cafu, Beckham, and Oliver Kahn ranked 1-2-3) Roy Makaay - Poland Captain Henrik Larsson - Singapore Captain Raul - South Korea Coach - Colombia Captain Frank Lampard - Iceland Captain (who just happens to be Eidur Gudjohnsen) - Bosnia & Herzegovina Captain Ryan Giggs - South Korea Captain Michael Owen - Bolivia Coach, Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
