Goal.com's top 50 Players of 2008

[Demis-11]

i dont think anyone is gonna argue that ronaldo is better than messi..because i think messi is a much better player..but ronaldo had a better 08

lets use videogames as an example..best game of 08 might be 20th overrall in best games of all time..or of that generation

[G0happy]

loool how did Fat Frank Lampard edge out Eto'o, Daniel Alves, Mascherano etc.
What a horrid ranking. Messi = Best in World.

Frank Lampard is sooooo much better than Mascherano and much much more important to Chelsea than Daniel Alves and Eto'o are to Barcelona.

screw fifa baba. Messi will own united in Cl and ronaldo.

[milad]

2007-08 - ronaldo was the best
2008-09 - messi is the best

doesn't take a genious to realize that

but messi was BETTER in 2008-2009 than crystiana in 2007-2008, which is why he deserves the 2008 POY.

this is to people who claim that EPL has better players that La liga

Those people must be on something, or they simply prefer brutality to beauty, physique over technique, airball to football

I find FourFourTwo's list of the 100 best players is more reasonable then this but they still put 3.Torres, 2.Messi, 1.CR...
lets stop arguing, if you cant admit that CR was without a doubt heads above the rest of the competition last year..and that he 100% deserved those individual awards, youve got acceptance issues lol

wrong. logically messiah was better than crystiana in 2008.

ok buddy you dont make sense, how does having more players in the top 50 list of a third party (not to mention 99.9% of what they report is pure fresh bs) suddenly make la liga better than epl??

like I said it's not perfect, BUT, De Rossi was more important to Roma than Toni was to Bayern, same goes for Cassano, he performed pretty good at Sampdoria.

my biggest problem is Daniel Guiza not being in top 10, he was top scorer in La Liga in 2008 and he's ranked almost last...:bs:

.

talkin about guiza, toni scored 40 goals for bayern, top scorer

but yea its not perfect, in my opinion u can never make a top 50 or top 10 list of football players, cuz there are sooo many good players all over the world and its hard to compare some of them

[shayan20]

2 Barca players in top 10

overall a decent attempt to rank the players.
