Fifa World Player of the Year Award Shortlist

1 views 30 October 2009

img4aeb18a0de2f5 As expected (don’t mean to sound to cocky) our boy, Fernando Torres, was shortlisted in the top 23 players nominated to receive the prestigious Ballon d’Or award this upcoming December in Zurich.

As you may recall from last year, Torres earned 3rd place by getting 203 points. While Messi allocated 678 points for 2nd place and Portugal’s Ronaldo swept the competition by earning a whooping 935 points, earning him the top spot and Ballon d’Or, proclaiming him the best footballer of the year 2008.

With a new year in place and footballer across the world gaining new accomplishments and recognition, who do you believe should earn the award this year?

Can Torres finish off the season as top goal scorer of the Premier League?
