The FIFA World Player of the Year Lunacy
FIFA's nomination list for their World Player of the Year Award is so laughable that, really, it's difficult to even get too worked up about it. For me, it's less the absences that make it so absurd than it is two little words that are there: "Patrick" and "Vieira." This is the same Patrick Vieira who, for those among you who don't follow Inter as closely as you should, played in just 20 Serie A matches last season (28 in all competitions), and has put in a grand total of 68 minutes so far this year, all of them in a single Coppa Italia match.
