Fortheloveofmusic: Best Soccer Players Of 2013 - Vote

Fortheloveofmusic 12.20.13	Honorable Mentions: Ibrahimovic, Neymar, Ozil, Yaya Toure, Sergio Aguero, Falcao, Robin Van Persie, Gundogan, Chiellini, Dante, Matuidi, Costa, and Iniesta. And Michael Bradley. This was more difficult than I expected!
Detritivore 12.20.13	in Arjen Robben - out Busquets
InfamousGrouse 12.20.13	Robben deserves an honourable at the very least Where the hell does Busquets come into contention? Busquets picked up a LIGA BBVA and a 7-0 demolition. Vidal has been knocked out of Europe in the Quarters and Group Stages of CL in the same year, I dunno if that qualifies for top 10 material
Thane 12.20.13	even thought busquets 'only' won one trophy, he's still one of the best defensive midfielder in the world. ronaldo didn't win a single trophy yet he's 1 here. i'd place ribery at 1 and robben should also def be in the list, played all (?) CL games and was decisive in the final
Fortheloveofmusic 12.20.13	Busquets is probably one of the best midfielders in the world right now and definitely the best defensive mid in the world. He keeps Barcelona ticking, which is pretty difficult. A couple of bad games against Bayern Munich doesn't take you out of contention. Same pretty much goes for Vidal. Europe isn't everything. But yeah, Robben and Lewandowski should be in the honorable mentions as well.
AliW1993 12.20.13	1. Ronaldo - 2. Ibrahimovic - 3. Bale - 4. Suarez - 5. Neymar - 6. Messi (only so low because of injuries etc) - 7. Robben - 8. Lewandowski - 9. Lahm - 10. Alaba... I want to have more defenders in there but for me there aren't many truly exceptional players out there at the moment.
VisionsFromTheDarkSide 12.20.13	Ronaldo definitely deserves to be number 1
VisionsFromTheDarkSide 12.20.13	I do prefer Messi over Ronaldo but this year Ronaldo's been better
Fortheloveofmusic 12.20.13	Haha yeah, it's a pretty shitty username. I had the same problem with defenders. I didn't want my list to be striker heavy, but there were so many good ones this year.
Thane 12.20.13	it sucks how defenders are so marginalized in rankings and for awards, especially midfielders. players like javi martinez (who probably also deserves at least an honorable mention, haha), carrick (yes), xabi alonso etc are just as important as strikers when it comes to winning trophies
VisionsFromTheDarkSide 12.20.13	Carrick is so overrated, sorry. He used to be underrated but then he became so underrated that he's overrated, if that makes sense
Fortheloveofmusic 12.20.13	Yeah, it's so much more difficult for a player that's not regularly involved in creating or scoring goals to be recognized. And Javi Martinez definitely crossed my mind, but the honorable mentions had a ton of players already haha.
Lowder91bird 12.20.13	Good list.
InfamousGrouse 12.20.13	Busquets? "definitely the best defensive mid in the world."? lol
Sniff 12.20.13	This list a such a lol. Do it one more time and do it right.
Trebor. 12.20.13	Pelle
Thane 12.20.13	though both play DM they are still very different. hard to say who is better, both excel in different things. and if you laugh at someone saying busquets is one of the best, if not the best DM in the world u really don't know much about football sorry
Trebor. 12.20.13	best DM is either Death or Morbid Angel
Thane 12.20.13	well played
Trebor. 12.20.13	Pretending to be completely ignorant of soccer for my own amusement is one of my specialties
Nocturnal 12.21.13	I am so fucking happy liverpool just resigned Suarez. Lewandowski should be on this list just for that 4 goal game against real madrid.
rockandmetaljunkie 12.21.13	I lol'd with Busquets.
hiyabootchie 12.21.13	Tom Brady or Peyton Manning or perhaps Drew Brees.
rockandmetaljunkie 12.21.13	"I am so fucking happy liverpool just resigned Suarez." Yeah. Now that he's tied to a new contract he will return to his old habbits.
InfamousGrouse 12.21.13	out of these (many questionable) picks here's my votes: 10 - Busquets 9 - Silva 8 - Vidal 7 - Muller 6 - Bale 5 - Messi 4 - Suarez 3 - Lahm 2 - Cristiano 1 - Ribery
Fortheloveofmusic 12.21.13	Change your mind on Vidal and Busquets? But Ribery at one is something I definitely had trouble with. I had him at 1 and Ronaldo at 2 before I switched them at the last second.
Phlegm 12.21.13	um can we talk about rugby??????????/
Fortheloveofmusic 12.21.13	Haha why don't you vote then? That's what the entire point is, people sharing their own top 10 lists.
Greem 12.21.13	Лёха с нашего двора
ShitsofRain 12.21.13	this is a music website
Sniff 12.21.13	^that
anarchistfish 12.21.13	always surprised at the acclaim Ribéry receives but that's coming from a France fan, and he's always underperformed there (even if he's improved recently)
anarchistfish 12.21.13	"this is a music website" no one cares
InfamousGrouse 12.21.13	Being the best player in a treble-winning team is undeserving of praise agreed
menawati 12.21.13	I see 7 spanish clubs are being prosecuted by the EU for state aid, spanish govt defence is that their football is part of the 'spanish brand' haha. No wonder they can buy all the world's best players if they are getting handouts from their govt.
Fortheloveofmusic 12.21.13	"Being the best player in a treble-winning team is undeserving of praise agreed" Javi Martinez is definitely deserving of praise, he just isn't my own particular to 10. I never said he wasn't.
slagun 12.21.13	needs Lewandowski for sure
Fortheloveofmusic 12.23.13	Everyone commenting saying what it needs: Vote, vote, vote! You obviously have your own ideas, so make your own top 10 and prove me wrong.
anarchistfish 12.23.13	ronaldo
