Talk:FIFA World Player of the Year

message: How many times has Messi been in first place, or won?  I find his name on the winner list once, but on the "wins by player" list it says he was first place twice.  ??? Rhodesisland (talk) 02:08, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

message: The formatting of the list of winners is not very good, it would be better to make 3 columns so all winners are in one column. Now it's difficult to distinguish between winners and almost-winners. Piet 21:44, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of winners 

message: Do not be confused with the FIFA and World soccer player of the year. The world soccer player of this year is Cannavarro. The FIFA world player of this year is TBA —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 50cent4 (talk • contribs) 12:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Word soccer player and FIFA world player mix up!!! 

message: Why is the position mentioned? It isn't even accurate. This has been corrupted by British culture... calling any attacker that isn't a striker a "midfielder", even if they played as a forward. Peoplesunionpro 19:09, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Position 

message: in the List of Winners, for 2007, Christiano Ronaldo (3rd place) is listed as a striker. Can someone change it to midfielder, as he plays on the left wing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.96.24.207 (talk) 06:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Christiano Ronaldo not a striker 

message: In th most win by Player's section, the firts through fourth place were changed to more random names. And for the 2009 winners, cristiano ronaldo's second place title was given to "alyrasmi". But it has now been changed back by me.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.213.224 (talk) 20:11, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Player of the year 

message: There is something wrong with Ronaldo and Messi in the list "Wins by player": Messi won second place twice (2007, 2008, and no third place), whereas Ronaldo has won one second place (2009) and one third place (2007)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.72.155.168 (talk) 19:43, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  For god's sake 

message: The womens and mens winners tables are quite different.  I believe to make it easier for the reader it should be consistent.  I would recommend the format used in the Men's table, but either way as long as both tables are the same.  --TinTin (talk) 00:47, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
