top 100 footballers 2014 (let's call it part one: players #100 - #41)

[mrsvixen]

The Guardian's choice of the world’s best current footballers was selected by a 73 global panel of experts from 28 countries (international players, journalists, broadcasters and Guardian correspondents). So far, they've revealed 100-41. Numbers 40 to 11 will be revealed tomorrow. And the Top 10 will be revealed on Christmas Eve. Hohoho. So stay

Boateng and Alaba are way too low on this list.
Falcao's inclusion is just baffling. He barely touched a ball all year!
Benatia and Isco could have been higher too.

sis, ITA about Alaba and Boateng (he should have been at least in the top 20).

You know it's a shit list when John Terry is ranked higher than Archduke Klose! I know he's a BvB man but why is Miki even on this list? I'd rather have Auba. De Gea over RVP? What a joke.

And the fact that PK's name is there renders this list completely invalid.

90) César Azpilicueta - Chelsea

Yes, my husband got a mention!

[funhouse]

Is this ranked or just listed?

if ranked, "oh"

I feel I need to point out this part for everyone who is WHA?! about these rankings

All of these "experts" are biased as hell. So, they are gonna vote for their faves, their pals, and "names." It's hard to compare different positions, but they could've tried. (It doesn't look like they used any/much hard data really at all with this, which I think should be a consideration with lists like these.)
