Why did Paddy vote for Shevchenko?

[jeromelee]

I seriously don't understand why Paddy would vote for Shevchenko instead of Henry for the FIFA World Player of the Year award?

 

[Aussie]

Cant vote for fellow countryman.

 

[jeromelee]

Thanks for info.

 

[Feis-al]

Where is the list of voters, wanted to see it please.

 

[Anonymous]

Voters were 157 international coaches and 140 international captains, something like that anyway.
How henry didnt win is a joke.

 

[Alexone234]

Henry had no chance. He plays in England. Full stop.

 

[Aussie]

Henry scored the most goals. Henry created the most and Henry won the most trophies. He did deserve to win however when it comes down to it i dont think its that big a deal. The award has always been a joke.

157 international coaches. Bloody hell the Solomons Island coach probably voted. What the **** would he know. Just a popularity award IMO.

Vieira voting for Shev would have helped Henry out as well. Probably a smart move by him.

henry plays better the more these wankers insult him.

 

[seb_afc]

at least sven and becks voted for him!

 

[Soler]

Not even the greatest striker in the history of AC Milan voted for Shevchenko

 

[Olofski]

157 international coaches. Bloody hell the Solomons Island coach probably voted. What the f**k would he know. Just a popularity award IMO.

I´d assume he knows more about football than most people in this forum...

Maybe he was scared Sheva would take his throne as Milan's greatest striker. Therfore he didn't vote for him. :wink:

It would be intresting to see what coaches and from what countries voted for who.

Check the FIFA site guys I'm sure you could find the list from there. I think JazzG posted the link aswell in the main thread "Henry/Ronaldinho,Shevchenko on shortlist for FIFA world player" its called something like that anyways.

Full list of who voted for who.

Half those countries dont even play football. I think they maybe need to change voting system.

Anyway dosent really matter.

 

[GlasgowGooner]

Kaladaze the Georgia captain who plays for Milan voted for three of his Milan team mates.

Surely that cant be aloud?

Now lets have a look at that list....I checked the caribbean islands because I know that the coaches are from south america and as I thought most of them voted for Ronaldinho. There is also a huge Manchester United and of course Real Madrid following as shown in the voting by the captains as well.


Guyana coach: Ronaldinho, ZZ,Nedved
captain: RVN,Ronaldinho,ZZ

Domonica Republic: Ronaldinho,Ronaldo,RVN
Captain: Ronaldinho,Ronaldo,Beckham

Cuba: Henry,Nedved,Ronaldinho
Captain: Ronaldinho,Kaka,Henry

Jamaica: Ronaldinho,Nedved,Henry
Captain:Henry,Nedved,Ronaldo

Puerto Rico: Ronaldinho,Figo, Raul
Captain: Ronaldinho, Owen, Raul

St Lucia: Ronaldinho, Henry, Maldini
Captain: Henry, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo

Trinidad and Tobago: Henry, Ronaldinho,Zagorakis
Captain: Deco, Henry, Ronaldinho

You also have to remember that being so close to Brazil these islands know more about their football team and tend to support them in the world cup.

aint that the shocking truth.

There's no rule against it.

 

[DannyGooner1982]

Yes obviously it is a biased award. Those first-places given to Ronaldinho from his pals had they been given to Henry might have given him 1st place.

Meanwhile Henry has no pals to give him votes. He has more of a mountain to climb.

Was so close though!
