[Bobby Sands]

I think its a pile of shit tbh.

Im a liverpool fan and a Steven Gerrard fan but there is no way that he should be above Xavi in this list.

Vidic should be higher than Rio imo

Ronaldo deserves to be on top but Kaka and Messi are still better imo

Paul Scholes 95? you are having a laugh. so what did the likes of Poulsen and Zambrotta do to get higehr than him?

No Carragher and Pepe makes 61. lmao

Dario Srna is good but is too high up that list imo

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not the 7th best player in the world. I couldnt give a shit how many goals he has scored against mediocre opposition in serie a.

Luca Toni at 55?

Batian Schweinsteiger is too low down at 99.

You really have to laugh at Mikel making the top 100. He played a few decent games for chelsea recently. so what? He hardly made the team last season.

Not a single Irish player. Robbie Keane may have made a slow start to his Liverpool career but he was excellent for Spurs last season.

3 Mali players make the top 100. Kanoute, Diarra and Keita. THey should be there. you wouldnt expect Mali to have 3 players in a list like this though lol.

Amir Zaki should make it considering Egypts fine performance in the African Nations Cup earlier in the year and his performances for Wigan so far.

Defense was Zenit's and Russia's weak link so why is Anatoily Tymoshchuk so high up?

 

[Sebastian]

Well, there is no way to make a good decision on the best 100 players of the season. Its just not possible to decide if someone is rather on position 45 or 50.

Take a pick for the first three and thats it. I agree with the first three of the list.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^yea it is difficult.

Another thing. why is Boruc so high up and Reina isnt even on the list?

Del Piero was great all year and he only makes 45.

And sorry Seb but Ballack shouldnt be that high up.He has been injured for most of the year.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

lol crappy list. Kaka didn't even have that good of a year. One thing that strikers me is the lack of fucking strikers. Bar one or two the rest don't scream World Class to me.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^Would you agree that Reina and Carragher should make that list?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Reina? Yes, If Boruc is there then Reina should be there too. But theres alot of other goalkeepers I highly rate that haven't made the list. Kameni for one. and the current Almeria keeper Deigo Alves, but its too soon for him.

Carragher? Yes.

lol at Ashley Cole being higher than Tevez and Del Piero.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^yea you could be all day finding things wrong with that list

fair enough, picking 100 best players in the world is a hard task but thats a poor effort imo.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Yeah. Riquelme should be in there too dammit.

 

[hizzle?]

where the fuck is Vucinic...

 

[Duke]

Yeah, shaky list but ok, it's hard to do and like Seb said, you could argue for months over a 45 or 50 position.

 

[Flipmo]

Vucinic is great, he should have been somewhere on that list. Fuck Totti, Vucinic is Roma's best player.

Srna shouldn't be that high up, since he hasn't tested himself in stronger leagues, he's very loyal to Shaktar though and wouldn't leave unless they wanted to rid of him.

 

[Sebastian]

And sorry Seb but Ballack shouldnt be that high up.He has been injured for most of the year.

No need to apologise. Like i said, it worthless to argue about position 20 and crap like that.

However, he should have been in the top 10

 

[iloveliverpool]

Maybe you guys should make a Streethop version of the top 50 players

 

[2Pax]

List's like that shouldn't really exceed 10 players in my opinion.
