According on cnn.com.......winner of footballer of the year is Figo from Real Madrid........Beckham came in 2nd and Raul comes in 3rd.

Watcha think of it.....does FIGO really deserve it......i'm interested to hear your opinions.

I agree with you FASTDJMP3 the FIFA World Player of the year award is a joke. Michael Owen should of finished at least in the top 3 of World player of the year if he won European player of the year, or maybe should of won it. As for Beckham, all because of that free kick out of 34 free kicks against Greece he finishes second. The England Vs Greece match showed how England struggle without Owen (he was injured at that time). Owen scored 2 goals in the FA cup final against Arsenal and a hat trick against Germany (which changed England's fortunes around and was the REAL REASON for England topping the group). Undoubtedly he is the best striker and finisher in the world. Beckham may work hard for England but for man united he is nothing. Owen did it both for club and country. Its just disgraceul the voters have been pricks and took limited notice of what Owen did in the year of 2001. Looks like the voters voted on what Figo did in 2000 and Beckham did in 1999. These voters seem to take their sources from past years, not the same year!

do u know the french magazine FRANCE FOOTBALL ? well they gave the GOLDEN BALL (ballon d'or which is the second most important award after that lame fifa one) to Owen !!! and it's the people who vote not the stupid coaches at a ceremony

Figo is a lazy over-rated gimp, he shouldn't even be playing football

I think that the best player of the year was Beckham or Owen. Top 5 Players: Beckham, Owen, Rivaldo, Zidane and Veron.

haha that is so stupid..screw all 3 of them!

i think its tough to decide who deserves the first place...
i havent seen any extraordinary players this year! or atleast not one player have shown any great performance!

luis figo is an over-rated player who always seems to be lost somewhere on the field!

he's a fucking treator who left barca for real , screw him bad
