Mikel making the list saved Nigeria from another embarrassment, unlike last year...or was it this year...when no Nigerian made the list. Let's hope he will make the final short list as well.

1.]Drogba
2.]Yaya Toure
3]Mikel Obi

Sagytarius: Of course, you sawed Mikel.

what's the big deal Sneijder won 3 Trophies including the champions league and made it to the world cup final in 2010, what did he have to show for it? not even among the last three contestants for the best player of the year.
wake-up man, it's an individual award

i don't understand this. If you are African footballer of the year, the league youy play in should not be an issue. Why must there be a separate category for African based players ??
