2. Among the players you have just named, who has been the best player
overall?
Rules are pretty simple:
- In each category, you can vote more than a player (e.g. three best
goalkeepers, or two best players overall), and each of them will in
any case have one point.
- Deadline: July 17, 23:59 GMT.
If you're interested, I've launched a Player of the Quadriennal poll
as well:

Most influential defender in the game today.
Lucio, Puyol
> MF: Xavi/Iniesta (generic midgets, count as a single vote)
like your thinking but Iniesta's injuries weigh against him.
, Sneijder
Hard to imagine having a better club season, and a week from now I might
vote for him, but in the afterglow of WC...
1.
GK: Casillas, Friedel
DF: Pique, Ashley Cole
MF: Sneijder
F: Messi, Drogba
2.
Sneijder

I was going to leave this blank. I am not comfortable comparing
keepers because a lot of the putative "best" ones I see don't get
tested that often. I don't know if Friedel is or isn't in a league
with Lloris or Neuer, but given how often he's tested he's looked
great when I've watched him.

Look at what your choice for keeper says! :-)

Perfectly reasonable opinion, IMO. He had a great season, despite
being a degenerate.
I was actually being facetious noting the usual reaction of
anglophobes (who are as prevalent as anglophiles) to any praise of
anglo players. I have always maintained that Friedel is a total stud,
and put him up there with that usual Czechs, Bufoons, and Boxes in the
past. But I dont know if this is the season to put in up there. Why
wasn't he in the WC squad, btw?

Yeah I saw that and found it amusing. Best LB in the world? I dont
know, just France has three who could claim to be better.

Lionel Messi
Do you watch Turkish league matches, or is this based on his WC
performances?
I vote exactly the same but have Sneijder as overall best as he
delivered in the World Cup, Messi didn't.

Funny, there is not one German player included, yet Bayern Munich went
to CL final and Germany rocked the WC including historical defeats of
4-1 vs England and 4-0 vs Argentina.
His World Cup performances. Plus I think I have to admit to a little
bit of bias as he used to play for Sao Paulo, my 15th favourite
football club.
Goalkeeper--Julio Cesar(second choice Casillas)
Defender--Lucio (second choice Pique)
Midfielder--tie between Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Donovan*
Forward--Forlan(second choice Tevez*)
*Try to remember gang, that Dwight has a reputation for eccentricity to
maintain. But, I think all four of my midfielder choices have had great
years--in completely different ways and under very different
circumstances. And, I think the Donovan goal against Algeria was the
goal of the year--from the save by Howard, his perfect pass, Donovan's
perfect pass to Altidore, Jozy's perfect center to Dempsey, the Bolhi
point-blank save from Dempsey and the Donovan follow-up. It still gives
me one of those Chris Matthews thingy's up and down my leg everytime I
think about it.
