Cannavaro, best defender in the world...
does he deserve it?
I do rate him and he had a cracking World Cup but i feel other players did more to win the award...not a lot in it though
The guy is a rock. He can head, pass, tackle, and lead. Easily the best defender in the world.
Its gets my goat up when i hear commentators say about rio and john terry being the best. Bollox are they
Have they won the WC, or the CL?
Yea he deserves it. He was superb in WC and its nice a defender gets recognition instead of the strikers
no ****ing wop cunt
I don't think defenders should ever win these kind of awards. People do not watch football to see defenders, they watch it for the skill and flare of watching Henry or Ronaldinhio type players.
Cannavaro yes it is the best defender in the world but i would of liked to see the award go to Henry.
defending is just as much part of football as attacking!!!!
:censored:
if there were no ****ing good defenders on the planet why would you need ronaldinho's or kaka's or Tottis's??????
my grandmother would be able to play as a professional footballer in that case!
and i took far more pleasure this WC watching Cannavaro read the game like a master than watching ronaldinho strutting around with his nike merchandise
:laughing:
that may have been a harsh reply, i respect your opinion but do not agree with it at all
I am not saying he is not a class defender or class player but think it is a lot more difficult to do what Henry and Ronaldinhio does than what a defender does.
I love watching the likes or Ronaldinhio, Henry, Ronaldo, Deco and Kaka they are the reason for me i watch football.
id say it was harder to defend against the likes of henry with his pace an ronaldino cause of his skill :cool:
I agree, to me footballer of the year suggests a title for someone who creates beautiful football, not stops it, however good they are at it. Plus if he hadn't won the WC on penalties he surely wouldn't have won it and did he even take a pen?Quote:

And apart from win the WC (on pens) what did he do? 'Won' Serie A thanks to corruption, so that doesn't count for anything and got knocked out by Henry's Arsenal in the CL QF.
Still, makes a change from Ronaldinho winning everything and at least Henry finished above him for once...
Yeah he is one of the best in the world for defending, that's for sure. I think though the award will more likely go to a midfielder or attacker, there's nothing better than watching a great creative player in midfield that makes things happen, or a great goalscorer that has the abilty and skill to do something amazing, ie Henry!!
Hang on. Did ronaldinho or henry have great WCs this year? I seem to remember certain players not live up to their hype this year.
You wouldnt need skill if there wasnt any class defenders like someone said.
Cannavaro is class and just cos someones beloved henry doesnt win it ppl get shitty. And thats not u i mean will
if any forward was to get it it should have been Eto'o
maybe if cameroon qualified for th WC and he had a chance to shine...
defending is an important and beautiful part of the game, and players should be rewarded for it.
I don't remember any complaints when Mathias Sammer won a few years back?!
Henry got to the final at least and scored the winner against Brazil in the QF amongst others, Ronaldinho didn't have a good WC, but Henry did pretty well as he did in every competition he played in.Quote:
