For 1999/2000+2000 (combining season and calendar year) I voted Figo-Zidane-Raul-Shevchenko-Redondo. But I see now that Zidane has edged into the consensus 1st place for both 2000 and 2002!

 

....... yes .... Zidane changed all the International status from FRance National team side ... he does or did it .... that Michel Platini ... didn't .... of course ... aswell ... by the referee don't sent off ...Schumacher against Battiston duels " crash moment ." ! Zidane is Genius !!!

 

.....



in 2004 did you voted ???? Top 5 in this year yours !

 

For 2003/04 + 2004 calendar year combined: Henry-Shevchenko-Ronaldinho-Deco-Kaka

 

in 2004 i think this so unfair with Valencia team ... won Uefa Cup and La Liga .. against ... Marseille ... from Drogba ... Real Madrid .from Zidane Figo Beckham Ronaldo Roberto Carlos Barcelona from Davids Xavi and Ronaldinho Gaucho .... none speaks about it ... so unfair in my view ... Valencia had great players ... Gk - Canizares ... Ayala ...Kily Gonzales ... Pablo Aimar ...Vicente Baraja ..Albelda ...Mendieta ..MIsta ... etc .... and more Ronaldinho Gaucho ... don't won any Title ...in this year 2003/04 ++++ 2004 .. really ...don't understood this ... putting him in the Top 5 in this year .

 

...... in 2006 did you voted ??? Top 5 yours !

 

...... well is always polemic those lists year by year ! some years much more +++++ etc..............

 

Yes, I did it 2005/06 + 2006 calendar year combined and it was very tricky to decide because it feels like not many players were consistently exceptional through that whole period, and some had some exceptional form but also some poorer form. I went with Kaka-Cannavaro-Klose-Henry-Ronaldinho on that basis, but I think it is not a simple year/season to choose 5 names for all in all (also considering league form, Champions League, World Cup etc).

I don't really want to get into discussing each of my choices in depth mate I hope you understand, but for sure I remember Valencia were very good in that period around 2003/04; you are right and have a good memory about it (I did rate Baraja pretty highly as a midfield player at that moment I remember, and like you suggested Vicente was also in good form and of course they had Pablo Aimar in his best period...unless somebody might say that was in Argentinian football I guess....). I would have also have had several Arsenal players in an extended list around that time, like you did too (and around those years in general, even though I think they didn't all peak at exactly the same moment and didn't even have their best form of those seasons at the same moment necessarily...but yeah Henry, Pires, Vieira, Bergkamp, also Ljungberg and others...it was quite a stacked squad).

 

...... yes ,,, i know you .. you are very very fair that's for sure i'm not saying about you at all !! i mean ... yes about Fifa Award in 2004 .... The Fifa the Best ...... in Brazil we are knowing that Ricardo Teixeira ...and ex-president from Barcelona FC ... did so many many shits on Football .... well .... of course .. i'm not saying about you ... But about FIfa ..Nike ...CBF .. and Barcelona ... !!!

 

in 2004 ..... Robert Pires ...played too much ....in my view ... many many assists , goals , pre-assists ...and team work .... was incredible !!!

 

...... yes .. T. Henry ... was the best in my view in 2004... only by fans or supporters .. from another teams ...as Manchester United ..Chelsea ...Liverpool was seen as Arrogant ... and no carism ... etc... so ... he loses the Awards in this year and because Ronaldinho's Fifa ..Nike ...CBF .. and Barcelona .... winning so much money ... with this Award victory ...

 

...... because this ... i like much more ... from the Older Football .... Cruyff ... Gullit ...Di Stefano ... Puskas ...Sastre ...Pelé ...Eusebio and Zagallo etc ....... many many others !

 

...... with Ronaldo Nazario in 1996... happening the same thing .. Sammer ...Eric Cantona ... Weah ... were robbed ...aswell ...

 

.... well IceBlood 34 does he voted ????? .... in Ballon D'or .. Who won more times here ???? in general ... ?????

 

Yes, although for me he was even better in the early 00s before he got injured (end of 2000/01 season then 2001/02 season). But yeah around 2004 he was very efficient in his game I think and smooth in combining with team-mates, and had very good end product (and certainly at that time a good amount of goals he scored himself).
