Cheeta Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Ha! And since I launched the topic I get 1st vote. 1st Place. Tomasz Radzinski 2nd Place. Ali G! 3rd Place. Julian de Guzman Yeah, I know. I'm basing a lot of my voting stock on international performance but I'm allowed to if I so choose and I do. So there. Honestly, very little to choose between these three. The Guz had a huge club season but left too much of that form in Spain and not enough in WCQing. Radz had a great year at Xanthi but is handicapped by playing 2nd tier Belgian right now otherwise to my mind he'd be the run away 1st choice. Honourable mention to Robbie Friend. Poorly utilized in WCQ. Not his fault but the reality of the past year otherwise with his club performances in Germany he'd be in my mix for sure. So there we are. Have fun.

Winnipeg Fury Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Radzinski. He finished 2008 as the 5th leading goal scorer in the Greek Super League with Xanthi. Even though he was in the goal scoring race in Greece, he still showed for Canada (including the exhibition matches, Estonia, Panama, Brazil). No one player gave his all more than Radzinski and made as big an impact on the field for Canada. When we fell apart in World Cup Qualifying in Montreal against Honduras, it was because Radzinski had left the field injured. When the majority of our big names turned their back for the Mexico game in Edmonton, Radzinski led the youngsters to a stellar performance (and finished the match by bowing to the Voyageurs, with a V's scarf around his neck).

jonovision Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 In my submission to the CSA's fan choice, I picked Gerba for all his goals in WCQ. I'm going to let sentiment play a bigger role here: 1. Radzinski 2. Gerba 3. De Guzman Again, I feel weird that the top 2 choices are the players playing at the lowest club level of any of our MNT regulars, but I can deal with it.

Free kick Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 1- Julian DeGuzman 2- Tomasz Radzinski I wont submit a vote for third because I cannot think of a worthy candidate. Friend has done well at the club but he was non factor in WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottie Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 1. Ali Gerba. Not only did he score 6 goals for us, but also he proved he doesn't just score against minnows. By far our most consistent striker. 2. Tomasz Radzinski. Still one hell of a playmaker. Who knows what might've happened had he not been injured during the Montreal game. 3. Adrian Serioux. This was a tough choice, but he was easily our best defender and really showed us what he could do against Brazil (and every opponent after that).
