Still find it hard to stomach a goalkeeper winning ballon d'or but I see where you're coming from. However, got to be Ronaldo surely. Yet again he's just been ridiculous.
Why is that, out of interest? No-one seemed to argue with cannavaro in 2006, and I'd say a keeper as dominant in his position as Neuer, and capable of making outrageously spectacular saves is just as worthy and also probably more value in entertainment terms (if that's your criteria) than a centre back defending well and demonstrating extreme leadership skills.
Not kicking off or owt, just wondering
He's also got the balls with possession.
