Today, they revealed Nos. 11-40, before unveiling the top 10 on Christmas Eve to complete this year’s list.

i don't understand why they're delaying the release of their dumb list, it's not like anyone's holding their breath for their flop choices anyway..

makes Ha-mes look like 12.

I'm sorry Mats but you should swap places with Boateng.
Pogba is a great player but isn't he a bit high compared to let's say, Modric? And not that I don't rate Thiago Silva but shouldn't Ramos be above him?
Also isn't Alexis a bit high too? Not that he hasn't been Arsenal's stand-out performer but well.

Bale is going to be in the top 10, isn't he? Together with Ronaldo, Messi, Neuer, Müller (he better be!), Lahm, Neymar, Aguëro and Robben. But I cannot think of the last one?

Edit: How could I forget:

I'd rather Ser Jerome swapped places with Ramos and Mats stay in the 39th place. IMO, that CL header does not cancel out that godawful WC performance.

marsyke December 23 2014, 13:21:23 UTC

Although that was a mighty important header but Mats scored against France. But your idea is okay too. :D

Why place such a high premium on WC performances? Because in that case, Costa and Iniesta should be ranked MUCH lower.

It's not just the CL header but all year-round, he's been so pivotal for Real Madrid this year, especially at the CWC? He can do what most defenders can't do which is score goals? Idk, sis. The hate for Sergio gets so irrational sometimes so I need to step in and defend my man. :p Especially when 2014 has been considered the best year of his career.

OP, THIS, GIF. THE OLDEN DAYS... WHY ARE U PUNISHING ME?

No me gusta Basti at #25. Should have been higher.

ps: hail to my king (Rogério Ceni, n98) for being the only player from a non-European league in this list (lbr the top 10 won't have any).

I won't complain about where Arda and Godin are because I think I've decided any acknowledgement of our players' existence is good, lol.
