striker9: Luiz Gustavo plays for Brazil,not a country in Europe.When Bayern conquered Europe which he[Gustavo] played all through and later win Copa america that same year with good display,he could win best player in South America.I don't why you wouldn't stop mentioning Europe,

I could be wrong but the South American player of the year goes players playing in south america ONLY

Yes,Ronaldinho beat Neymar to the award in 2013,I will be waiting for the day African will also give the award base on good performance in AFCON too and not on Europe performance alone,judging by that,Yaya won't even make top 11 in Africa in 2013.

thegoodjoehunt: It iOS not a who play pass award but who made the most impact last year.

By the way, how come the better players couldn't outshine him at the AFCON OR CONFED? I mean the players in the Super Eagles you feel are better than Mikel.
Is it nt "who play pass that made the highest impact"deep down your heart,even tho u wont accept it,u know mikel was never our best player in any tournament.......Even mentioning afcon,like no one watched the tournament

Your forgetting that Last season ended in May and another season has started Yaya has already scored 12 goals half way through the season! am yet to think of an African midfielder that has racked up that amount half way through the season

what are you saying? A judgment based on merit would have Enyeama in the top 3 not Drogba, this ish has sentiment written all over it.

Enyeama?for his cleansheets,well i would av considered enyeama too over mikel,
last bullet: John Michael Nchekwube Obi is not the the best player in super eagles(nt even top 5),nt in any tournament that was shown on tv and It won't be criminal not to give him that award,its just justice and to protect the image of african football

Aubameyang,enyeama,emenike,Kwadwo Asamoah all performed better than drogba last year.
They talking about d CAF awards beign based on merit.Did drogba "Merit" being in d top 3 ?.Hell no!.
His nomination was clearly sentimental.
But d "over-objective" ITK nigerians wont complain about it.
They'll only complain about their compatroit,

Drogba didn't do well for ivory-coast neither was his club performance outstanding.
If drogba's nomination was becos of his club performance,Ahmed Musa performed better than drogba at club-level last yr.

psalmdave: For God sake that awards was based on votes....Y should ruud's opinion be singled out,is he the owner of football theses are mere sentiments,lets face facts,not based on who i like......THIS WHOLE SCENARIO U ARE MAKING UP IS JUST LIKE AS BAYERN MUNICH CONQUERED EUROPE,WE WILL THEN CONCLUD LUIS GUSTAVO IS THE BEST PLAYER LAST YEAR IN EUROPE

MVP of the nations cup isn't based on votes but the technical committee of the tournament. Pitropa was given the award to cover CAF's corrupt action on Pitropa.

Mikel was the MVP clearly.

omar22: Eto scored more goals after Ronaldinho left who flopped big time at Milan, He also won the treble at Inter Milan

Eto'o was never the same after Ronaldinho left. This year Ronaldinho has been the best player in South America. Ronaldinho didn't flop at Milan. He was their best player along with Pirlo.

Yes this is a new season but it is at the end of the year you can judge Yaya's accomplishments. I hope he excels but as for 2013, Mikel rules the African players.

At the Confederation cup we only beat Tahiti... So what's there to celebrate? your trying to give an award to a player in a team that lost 3-0 Spain, talking about celebrating mediocre performance, no wonder when you go to the TV section some people think a Nollywood movie should b up for an Oscar
The Confed is a tournament of Champions. Losing to Spain is no loss off pride. What was important is that Mikel excelled against Spain (the best mid fielders in National team football. A mediocre player can never do that and it shows your bias.

If you watched the tournament as closely as you make it seem, you would have noticed that everyone in supersport studio were in shock the award was not given too Mikel. One of the panel members started reading Mikel stats during the tournament.

Mikel is the best, followed by Enyeama with his success at Maccabi winning the Israeli league title. Being one of the top performance of the club. Enyeama's best keeper performance at the Afcon is also an addition. His cleansheet record at France is the icing to to the cake.

I would even put Moses before Yaya because of his impact to the Nigerian team. Yaya is just because he play pass in EPL. He achieved nothing.

Now Yaya go win Man City some titles. cheesy

Name the top 5 players in Nigeria,even Emenike and Enyeama came as substitute against Italy,whereas they are one of naija best.Nobody can challenge Mikel in that role in naija,its pretty obvious.You should be telling us why CAF picked Drogba over Enyeama,even Yaya can not stand Enyeama both in trophies and individual award last year.

Everyone knows Enyeama outshone Yaya both in trophies and individually.
Afcon trophy
Israel league
Best Goal keeper [Afcon]
11 consecutive clean sheets with Lille
Best French Player [October and November]

If Enyeama could outshone Ibrahimovic,Cavani and Falcao for French player of the month twice,who the hell is Drogba and Yaya combined?even with there combination at Afcon,they didn't do jack.

It is hatred among we Nigerians that keeps us from growing. Nigerians want the Super Eagles to fail because of tribal sentiments. How can Mikel being nominated (a true favorite to win the award) be a topic of discussion instead of how Vincent Enyeama who has been a true son and pride of Africa being excluded from the list by Drogba. I hope Mikel wins it to remind everyone of the great achievement of the Super Eagles last year.

Someone said enyeama's outstanding performance was just for half-a-season.
January to June enyeama was outstanding in d israeli league.
He won d league and was the league's best player.
Those saying d israeli league is crap.Yes its not one of d top leagues.
But if u've viewed d 2013 UEFA ranking of leagues in europe.The difference in position between d turkish league where drogba plays in and the Israeli league is not that much.

So if u're downplaying enyeama's performance in israel becos d israeli league is not so super, the turkish league where drogba plays in is not super either.
