It's not easy to choose this year, cause nobody was way ahead of the others. I would say that Sheva is a favourite but - he plays in the national team that didn't take part in Euro. Ronaldinho has exceptional skills, he's the leader of the best team in Europe right now but - no international successes this year. Deco can be a dark horse of this year voting - CL winner, EC runner-up. Ronaldo and Henry - forget it. Rooney is still too young and unproven to get this ballon. Charisteas? Would there be Charisteas without Rehhagel? His abilities are just for the Werder's bench.

My opinion:
1) Deco - value bet
2) Ronaldinho
3) Sheva

I don't know why everybody is appointing to Sheva or Ronaldinho this year.

Sheva won Serie A and what more?
Ronaldinho won nothing.
Deco won the portuguese Liga, runner-up in the portuguese cup, winner of CL, runner-up of Euro 2004. Now in Barcelona he gives a good help to Ronaldinho, so he's in-form in this end of the year also.

But like the Fifa player of the Year (other one that is appointing to be won by Ronaldinho due to the votes of south-american national coaches) the trophy is generally given to a player who is very well-known and it isn't the case of Deco.

I'm a great fan of Ronaldinho since he has been in Gremio, but for the previous season Deco surely deserves all the honours IMO :wink:

I would like to see Zagorakis in 3rd place just for being captain of the Euro-Champions (although he's just a moderate player...wouldn't be nominated for any other reason)
