iirc he didn't even make the longlist the year he almost dragged Liverpool to the title and tied the PL scoring record. If that wasn't good enough nothing will ever be.

A skin suit Buffalo Bill-style, stitched from the remains of Messi, Neuer, Ribery, Sepp Blatter and other conquered foes along with the gorgeous babes he has bedded over the unprecedented period of time he has been on top of the game

Well no surprise but Ronaldo and Ranieri won.


e: also FIFA's team of the year:

Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer
Defenders: Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo
Midfielders: Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Andres Iniesta
Forwards: Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Cristiano Ronaldo



e2: it seems also that the inaugural Fan Award was won by Liverpool and Dortmund fans for singing YNWA together last season the day before the 27th anniversary of Hillsborough
