good to see Senna up there too. he is sorely underrated and here at least he gets some recognition for his 'dirty' work.

Frank Lampard's the 15th best player in the world?
Yeah alright, he's probably the 15th best central midfielder in the country, I'd go with that, but the 15th best player in world football? 
Please!! Absoloutely joke. Seriously.

How reina is not even one of the nominees when he was won the golden glove competition consistently puzzles me .
Zlatan and Kaka higher than gerrard?
Why kaka because he got his team into the uefa cup and the same zlatan who went missing when we played them twice?

Yeah but in all fairness stu is hardly an accurate vote of the 'best player in the world'. Votes are cast by Journalists, whose articles are subjective at best and biased at worst.
