absolutely not. the guy has missed so many SITTERS this season it makes me cringe. he is good but only because he can physically dominate, if he didn't have that going for him, he would be a nobody. and he'll be enjoying a lengthy ban in european competiton for his behavior after the match on wednesday. Plus, he only played half the season.
KUYT
no way. the guy is too inconsistent and besides, there is TWO players on Liverpool who would be a better candidate for best active player (Gerrard and Torres)
Torres deserves more credit for how well he played in Euro 2008. Marco Di Vaio of Bologna has scored 21 goals in Serie A (something like 58% of his teams goals. Arshavin scored 7 for Zenit St. Petersburg and 6 for Arsenal so far, including 4 @ Liverpool, which IMO has been the best single performance of the season, in any league. Alessandro Del Piero had an amazing first half of the season (namely his performance against Real Madrid in Madrid for CL, he got a standing ovation @ the Bernabeu, one of the coolest things I've ever seen since following Juventus) but has fallen off since the new year. Ronaldo, no matter how much I don't like him, has scored 25 goals this season, which is a lot no matter how you look at it. I honestly think Man U would be fine without him (and Fergie should sell him before/if his stock ever lowers) but there is no doubt he a huge part of a team which is going to win EPL. Frank Lampard has done huge things for a Chelsea team that had a fairly successful season. Messi is the whole reason Barca will win La Liga this season.
Its a hard decision.

nominating steven ireland for player of the year is like nominating stephen jackson for MVP of the NBA. he's a good player in the little niche that he works in, but City is a horrible club and all the money in the world couldn't save them right now. you can't buy a team and hope they play well together, 8/10 times they won't
as for Portugal, here is their group standings:
Denmark 13 5 4 1 0 12 2
Hungary 13 6 4 1 1 8 2
Portugal 6 5 1 3 1 6 3
Sweden 6 4 1 3 0 2 1
Albania 6 7 1 3 3 3 6
Malta 1 7 0 1 6 0 17
lmao, they are tied with Sweden. I don't really follow WC qualifiers, I didn't realize they were doing so bad. How do these groups work? Do the top 2 qualify?

Yeah i know Kuyt does not put up the same kind of stats as Torres or even Gerrard, but he is a hard worker and does a lot to set up other people on Liverpool. And he is always scoring in clutch situations. Like when Liverpool ended up getting eliminated by Chelsea in the 5-4 game or whatever the final score was he scored with a header right at the end to give Liverpool a chance. Of course Torres and Gerrard are probably more valuable but Kuyt is still a savage and he is going to improve whatever team he is on.
