Player of the year odds

[bluebastardo]

If there were players in lesser known leagues with the talent of Messi and Kaka, I'm sure someone would scouted them by now. And if not, they will.

Scouted to a European league you mean?

Seriously, most of is a presumption of self importance, not just from England, but Europeans and Americans alike.

When we feel we have something special, we rate it as ' the most special in the world' or if we have someone who is a great sports person, such as a runner for example, we tend to class him as 'the fastest' in the world etc.

What it really boils down to is arrogance and presumption, combined with the refusal to believe in the phrase ' but what if '.

Who votes on the 'world football' ?

I'll tell you.

International coaches and captains. I wonder what conversation would arise should we ask Fabbio Capello to give his opinion on the state of the football standard in Jia A, or perhaps ask Rio Ferdinand who his favourite player is from الدوري المصري الممتاز‎ , the Egyptian League.

The FIFA World Player of the Year is an association football award given annually to the male and female player who are thought to be the best in the world, based on votes by coaches and captains of international teams. In a voting system based on positional voting, each coach gets three votes, worth five points, three points and one point, and the winners are ordered based on total number of points. The male award has been criticized for focusing mainly on players from the UEFA Champions League and largely ignoring players from the South American Copa Libertadores, which has produced more world club champions than Europe. The international leagues of the remaining confederations are also completely ignored.
