yeah but that's because they find defensive dull, watching an absolute class defender defend against world class front men, like Cannavaro and Materazzi did once or twice in that world cup, notably for Materazzi in the final and Cannavaro against Germany, is something I fucking love to see. Maldini is of course the ultimate example and I would vote for him to win this shite piece of meaningless tack every year because it's an utter travesty that he never has, one that turns the whole thing into the utter joke that it is. On this occasion I'd rather see a goalkeeper win it if it's such a straight choice as this.
