His World Cup performances. Plus I think I have to admit to a little
bit of bias as he used to play for Sao Paulo, my 15th favourite
football club.

Notice that he didn't pick any EPL-based players, either? Persons'
choices are often based on the leagues they are familiar with. I never
choose Italian players in these votes unless I see them with MIlan or
Inter in the CL and on the NT because I don't see much of Serie A.
Some people just don't watch that much of the BL. Even though it may
not be not be an inclusive way of voting, it is a lot more honest than
writing down "Lahm" just because you see others doing it.

Goalkeeper--Julio Cesar(second choice Casillas)
Defender--Lucio (second choice Pique)
Midfielder--tie between Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Donovan*
Forward--Forlan(second choice Tevez*)

*Try to remember gang, that Dwight has a reputation for eccentricity to
maintain. But, I think all four of my midfielder choices have had great
years--in completely different ways and under very different
circumstances. And, I think the Donovan goal against Algeria was the
goal of the year--from the save by Howard, his perfect pass, Donovan's
perfect pass to Altidore, Jozy's perfect center to Dempsey, the Bolhi
point-blank save from Dempsey and the Donovan follow-up. It still gives
me one of those Chris Matthews thingy's up and down my leg everytime I
think about it.
