Thanks Arq my brotha :bow:

Yeah I know it's a waste of time but somebody has to do it.

by The Sanchez Tue Jan 08, 2013 5:02 am

All La Liga players scratch

Pique

Alonso

These two are the most laughable... Pirlo and Chellini/Hummels deserves better credit than these two...

by 7amood11 Tue Jan 08, 2013 5:50 am

Some laughable inclusions really. I think the whole defensive line should be replaced, and Xabi Alonso. Falcao is debatable because RVP and Ibra can make a good case to be there.

And this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I believe that Cech was absolutely incredible in Chelsea's CL run. I wouldn't mind if he was put instead of Casillas.

For starters Pirlo had a fantastic tournament where in the first game Vs spain he created Di Natales goal and had a grip on the match. In the final (Where Italy, a day less rested were hit by injuries to the point they had to play with 10 men) spain deserved the victory but in no way was Pirlo himself outclassed in and way, shape or form. What do you expect him to pick up the slack for 8 other exhausted men or something?

Not even most Barca fans would say Xavi is leagues ahead of Pirlo that's just plain bias and stupidity.

As for the cheap shot at Juventus well it's laughable coming from the worlds most famous feeder club in a league that has no importance other than providing the odd talent. I'll happily continue to support Juventus and i'll lose no sleep over the FIGC taking two of our many titles away from us.

Alonso above Pirlo

Laughing

Look I like La Liga as much as anyone but this lineup is a joke rofl

by The Sanchez Tue Jan 08, 2013 7:53 am

Pirlo is League's behind Xavi? Wtf am I reading? :facepalm:

by McAgger Tue Jan 08, 2013 8:04 am

Juve went undefeated all season and all the players basically formed the Italian team that made the Euro final. Pathetic that none were included.

by FalcaoPunch Tue Jan 08, 2013 8:05 am

Umm why doesn't Falcao deserve it?

Clearly, if you don't include Pirlo, then there is something really wrong with you. This is obvious. Since when were you a grammar nazi? And this has nothing to do with 06 btw.

Im Just saying its obvious to everyone how biased this is considering there isn't one player outside of La Liga. Pirlo had more of a reason than Xabi Alonso to be there. Besides this was chosen by 40,000 selected people. We don't know where they are from, who they support, or what bias they have. And Barzagli was part of the team the let up the least amount of goals in Europe, so why does a player like Pique or Ramos ahead of him? They both made it to the Coppa final, won Serie A, and the Euro Final. Just because Spain won, it does not make Xabi or Pique better than Pirlo and Barzagli respectively.

Millions of fans voted for the FIFpro IX. Why are you people so surprised? Of course the most popular team and players will be in there.

where the f*** is PEPE???????????????????????? PEPE >>>>> Pique last year... FFS......

by The Sanchez Tue Jan 08, 2013 9:45 am

Wtf Ozil/Silva better than Xavi? Pepe is a possibility but either Ramos or Him should go for Baza. Everyone knows now that Piqué shouldn't be there... Marcelo IMO shouldn't be there... Hasn't been available throughout this season plus his defensive capabilities shouldnt help him either... Cole or Alba

In 2012 Pirlo was better than any Spanish midfielder imo.

by Real Kandahar Tue Jan 08, 2013 11:54 am

how can pique be there and not pepe? this is simply outrageous

by futbol Tue Jan 08, 2013 12:24 pm

Might have something to do with his hilarious passing skills when put under pressure against Dortmund in Germany. The penalty he gave away in the CL semi-final against Gomez. His epic f*ckup in the most recent Liga Clasico. His overall recklessness, kicking not only opponents but even teammates.

His diving skills, despite pretending to be a hard man.

Take your pick.

Also Casillas is a joke. Can't even get into Real's starting XI. :coffee:

by free_cat Tue Jan 08, 2013 12:40 pm

Alves, Pique, Alonso should not be there for sure.
Lahm, a Chelsea CB and Busquets/Pirlo for them.
Falcao and Ramos it's debatable, but I think they can be there.

oh, yes, Casillas definitely has not been the best gk of 2012, but he is there because of the euro. I think cech deseves it more.

by VivaStPauli Tue Jan 08, 2013 12:55 pm

So can we at least call it the "La Liga" awards and start ignoring it?

What did he do during the Euros? Portugal managed 0 shots on target in the semis. Such is the dominance of the outfield players infront of him, he barely has anything to do. And if he does, he never grabs the ball. He always punches shots away and infront of himself where he has to rely on pure luck that the ball drops infront of his own defender's feet and not the striker's. Positioning at freekicks is also not one of his strengths. Messi beat him twice in a row from like 30 yards out. Madrid concede from set pieces because Casillas, like most Spanish goalkeepers, has no clue how to dominate in the air. Most of the time he doesn't even come out for corner kicks. His foot work is non-existent. Good shot stopper who gets hyped up beyond ridiculous levels for being the only proper Madrid youth product by the Madrid press (which at the same time are the biggest general sports media outlets of the country: Marca and AS). Marca's Ballon d'Or campaign for Casillas was the LOL-worthiest moment of 2012. He should try to win the Zamora trophy before Valdes first. Should be easy enough with the best centrebacks in the world infront of him: Ramos and Pepe. :coffee:

Dude this is for the whole year.Not defending for your lives with 10 men behind the ball for like 2 games.

Its hilarious to see some people even mentioning them.Only Chelsea defender who has a legitimate shout to be there is Ashley Cole as he was their only consistent defender in their Entire CL campaign.And btw Ivanovic played RB for pretty much the entire competition bar the game against Barca.

Once again you continue basing off your opinions on players purely from a Barca's perspective.Not surprising coming from you as you diss Bundesliga teams for the same reason.

And how did Cahill and Ivanovic perform in this year's Champions League ? Please tell me lol, i'd like to hear.
