Balotelli,Pique :I'munoriginal:

Vicente Del Bosque (ESP/Equipe d'Espagne)
Roberto Di Matteo (ITA/Chelsea)
Alex Ferguson (ECO/Manchester United)
Pep Guardiola (ESP/ex-FC Barcelone)
Jupp Heynckes (ALL/Bayern Munich)
Jürgen Klopp (ALL/Borussia Dortmund)
Joachim Löw (ALL/Equipe d'Allemagne)
Roberto Mancini (ITA/Manchester City)
José Mourinho (POR/Real Madrid)
Cesare Prandelli (ITA/Equipe d'Italie)

Overall a good and a pretty fair list.

Xavi Alonso....

Anyway when will the top three be announced?

Aren't there players not in the list better than these four?

Balotelli
Neuer
Rooney
Pique

With Neuer it's debatable imo

No Wilshire, Downing or Ben Arfa

I'm waiting for some Madridista comment something about Higuain not being on the list.

I'm a madridista and I don't expect him to.

Cech deserves to be there ahead of Neuer

not really , higuain didnt have the best of campaigns last time out so doesnt feature , why would madridistas complain?

overall, it seems like a fair list imo

Balotelli

That is all.

No Cech or Cole ?Chelsea Fan

No Ribery ? Bayern Fan

No Higuain or Pepe ? Madrid Fan

As if this guys are going to be in the winning round anyway for even make Top 5 for that matter.

It doesnt matter tbh.

Don't really think Higuain deserves to be on the list, even though he's one of my favourite players.

Balotelli is on there because of one game. And Pepe should be there instead of Pique tbh.

I think David Silva should be included in the list.

So Higuain doesn't deserve to be there but Benzema and Cronaldo does?

Players scoring their own penalties 11-12 shows the difference of quality of players and teams in general

disagree about Pepe being there instead of Ramos,he won the EC

I hope Falcao gets on the top 3

Ramos totally deserves to be there..He was a rock for Spain,best defender of the tournament in my opinion.

speaking of defenders, i never understood how Thiago Silva never made it to any balon dor list ...

neuer is a more complete player


and besides where the *bleep* is les davies

but the question remains who will win the most marketable player this season

Silva was instrumental for City and yet Balotelli deserves the nomination more than him?

Vicente Del Bosque (ESP/Equipe d'Espagne)
Roberto Di Matteo (ITA/Chelsea)
Alex Ferguson (ECO/Manchester United)
Pep Guardiola (ESP/ex-FC Barcelone)
Jupp Heynckes (ALL/Bayern Munich)
Jürgen Klopp (ALL/Borussia Dortmund)
Joachim Löw (ALL/Equipe d'Allemagne)
Roberto Mancini (ITA/Manchester City)
José Mourinho (POR/Real Madrid)
Cesare Prandelli (ITA/Equipe d'Italie)

Tbf he had a meh season last year.Was injured for a no.of games as well IIRC.

Also this is EURO year so he unfortunately misses out or else he would have surely been there instead of Pique.
