Title: Fifa Ballon D'or Shortlist 2011
Post by: jabarinho on Nov 01, 2011, 12:43: AM

That time of year again when the fifa ballon d'or longlist/shitlist is announced. Abidal being on this list proves that this is a popularity contest :rolleyes:

Forlan and suarez were shit last year, except in copa america. Also, cesc and sneijder were injured a lot this year. And well, alonso is amazing but i think a guy like modric or bale should be placed ahead of him.

What about cavani, marcelo, mario gomez, vidic?

This is the list in full:

Éric Abidal (France), Sergio Agüero (Argentina), Karim Benzema (France), Iker Casillas (Spain), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Dani Alves (Brazil), Samuel Eto’o (Cameroon), Cesc Fàbregas (Spain), Diego Forlán (Uruguay), Andrés Iniesta (Spain), Lionel Messi (Argentina), Thomas Müller (Germany), Nani (Portugal), Neymar (Brazil), Mesut Özil (Germany), Gerard Piqué (Spain), Wayne Rooney (England), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Germany), Wesley Sneijder (Netherlands), Luis Suárez (Uruguay), David Villa (Spain), Xabi Alonso (Spain), Xavi (Spain).

Quite a weird list like all of you said.

8 Barcelona players?!  I can only think of 4-5 that deserve a spot:  Messi, Xavi, Fabregas, Iniesta, Villa. 

How is Abidal and Alves ahead of Pedro? 

My list would not include the following:

Éric Abidal (France), Sergio Agüero (Argentina), Karim Benzema (France), Iker Casillas (Spain), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Dani Alves (Brazil), Samuel Eto’o (Cameroon), Cesc Fàbregas (Spain), Diego Forlán (Uruguay), Andrés Iniesta (Spain), Lionel Messi (Argentina), Thomas Müller (Germany), Nani (Portugal), Neymar (Brazil), Mesut Özil (Germany), Gerard Piqué (Spain), Wayne Rooney (England), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Germany), Wesley Sneijder (Netherlands), Luis Suárez (Uruguay), David Villa (Spain), Xabi Alonso (Spain), Xavi (Spain).

Instead I'd have:

Mario Gomez (40+ goals last year)
Gareth Bale
Matts Hummels (unreal season with Dortmund)
Silva
Van Persie
Ibrahimovic
Valdes

Probably forgetting a few.
