106 maradona was not allowed because he was not from­ europe,after a rule change anyone playing in europe­ could be entered :)

110 whats so disgusting about my post????? im irish and­ took offence to what 108 posted,what problem do you­ have with my reply??

#109 Your comments are disgusting. For one, I can't­ see anywhere in the last 20 comments anything relating­ to the shambles in Paris. And what gives you the right­ to make judgements about Ireland Mr 'I'm half­ French come and take me on the F1 boards I'll get­ my boys on you'
One, I've had people threaten­ that they'll 'get their boys on me' face to­ face in the street so I'm not scared of you sat­ behind your computer.
Two. How on Earth can you call­ the Irish cheats when the whole argument kicked off in­ the first place when a French player set up the winner­ with a deliberate handball (that I think you'll­ find is the definition of cheating - intentionally­ breaking the rules of the game)
Three. Terrorists? Last­ time I looked the majority of Ireland was a very nice,­ peaceful country.
Four. Catholic child abusers?­ That's a pretty horrible thing to accuse someone­ of.
I was born in England and consider myself as an­ Englishman, however I also have Irish blood on my­ mother's side and I'm proud to say that I have­ Irish family, so it does hurt when people say such­ insulting things about you. I would love to see you­ walk into a pub in Ireland (and I mean proper parts not­ commercialised Dublin), and call the Irish what you­ just did. I guarantee you would not walk out, you'd­ be lucky to be alive. Once again, hiding behind your­ computer screen. I will also be reporting to to Yahoo­ for your remarks.

MGA as an Irish man I would love to bump into you to­ (talk) about your post,you nipple

Is he the first argentinian to won the golden­ ball?.....So what about maradona?

Well, cannavaro did win it in 2006...but it's true­ that mostly strikers and midfielders get this award.

I­ think they tend to decline because after working so­ hard for his prestigious award, they aren't as­ driven to pursue any individual recognition. Then,­ it's all just downhill from there once that drive­ is gone. Pity.

if my memory serves me well cannavaro is a defender!

I think the only defender to have ever been awardeded­ the Ballon d'or was Lev Yashin the great Russian­ Goalkeeper!!

It's not fair that only attackers should win this­ prestigious trophy! What about the legendary left full­ back Paolo Maldini and the great Libero Franco Baresi?

if you want to wipe your a** on your rivals google­ footballtoiletpaper, you can get Celtic, Rangers, Man­ U, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Sunderland, Newcastle,­ Birmingham and Villa toilet paper

messi is too hot but i think an african will win the­ next ballon'd or THAT IS DROGBA OR SANNI EMMANUEL

cant believe paul mcshane the speed demon with an­ excellent touch wasnt in the mix

2005 - RONALIDINHO
CURSE RATING 10/10

THAT'S­ BULL@#$% BECAUSE HE WAS EUROPEAN CHAMPION WITH BARÇA IN­ 2006!!

No doubt the agents (aka vultures) will be circling­ trying to engineer moves for the greedy cheating saps. ­ £70 million paid to agents in the Premier League alone.­ Paid by the clubs? Should be paid by the payers? ­ Whatever, it is paid by the idiot soccer supporters who­ pay outlandish ticket prices, ludicrous TV charges and­ stupendous prices for 50p shirts made in sweatshops­ adorned with their idols' names.

Kiss the­ wallet!

Recently, I discovered a hot club -- T a l l h u b Co­­ m­ -- where many sexy tall players who like sports­ and­­ chatting there. I'm an open minded girl from­ UK, I­­ also like discuss sports and love with tall­ guys on it.

henry best player who never won the award, how he didnt­ get it in the invincples is a joke, wouldve if aresenal­ had won the ucp

I nominate Paul Scharner of Wigan

MESSI IS OVERRATED.XAVI SHOULD HAVE WON.
