I’d like to add a comment about Beckham: he is the most overrated soccer player in history. He should even be in the list.
Just my comment…

No goose, Bergkamp never won it.

I think out of the Dutch candidates, van Persie is least likely to win it. He is a superb player but I don’t think he has achieved enough to win footballer of the year. Ruud is probably the best candidate, 25 goals in 38 games for Real in his first season is an amazing strike rate.

I actualy agree with the first comment from ferenc though:
1. kaka
2. messi
3. cristiano ronaldo

non,he hasn’t – he was third in 2002 and second in 2003 – these years van basten and roberto baggio were the winners.

you are right – at the moment van persie seems to be the only one potential winner in the coming 4-5 years (maybe sneijder too but i’m not that sure). it depends on messi too,because he might win 4 or 5 in a row. he has the potential for this.

think vPersie is the only dutch player who could actually win this trophy in the not too far away future

has Dennis ever won footballer of the year???

I hope van der vaart can make the list for next year, because I think he honestly deserves the award a lot more than others. He’s a hard worker for a poor quality team, and has gotten 7 goals in 8 games this year. If he gets back soon, he will easily score in the teens, and probably be on the list along with sneijder, van persie, seedorf, and van nistelrooij next year.
