Player Awards!

Ronaldinho was awarded FIFPro Player of the year and Rooney, the Young player of the year. Also the World XI was announced.

World XI

Cafu Nesta Terry Maldini Ronaldinho Lampard Makelele Zidane Eto'o Shevchenko

But I do not understand what Zidane has done in the past year to be named in the eleven. He neither achieved anything with France nor did he do well in Spain and his club Real Madrid went trophyless for the second consecutive year. Just being a star and a three-time World Player of the Year is not enough to gurantee a place in the World Squad if he did not perform well in the last year.

This just shows players (who are the voters) are still in awe of him even though his game in the last year doesn't deserve any mention.

According to me, Kaka was one of the top players in Europe and he also did well for Brazil, winning the Confed Cup and taking them to the World Cup finals.Crespo did much better than Shevchenko even though I like the latter. AC Milan must thank him for taking them to the finals of the Champions League.

My goalkeeper has to be Casillas because of the awesome saves he made in spite of the dreadful, horrendous Real Madrid defence in front of him.
