I disagree with the ranking. 4-4-2 just like any English magazine is rubbish!!!!!!! 1) Ronaldo ahead of Messi Impossible!!!! 2) Adebayor ahead of Ribery? Only drug addicts would say that. 30 Adebayor, Nihat, Fabiano ahead of Luca Toni? Last season Toni was second to Ronaldo in the whole of Europe Huntelaar 100? Diego 83? Vidic 34 behind Terry, ferdinand? English bias!!!! Mikel even Lansanna Diarra!!!!!!!! Am I blind? Where is Makalele, Yaya Toure, Flamini, Ze Roberto, Frings, Its not worth reading if Santa cruz is better than Huntelaar. and carzola better than Pires and Schweinsteiger |
