Consider the 4 years since the day *after* France won the WC up to today.
1. In your opinion, who has been in this timeframe the best player in
each of the following positions?
- Goalkeeper
- Defender
- Midfielder
- Forward
2. Among the players you have just named, who has been the best player overall?
Rules are pretty simple:
- In each category, you can vote for more than a player (e.g. three best goalkeepers, or two best players overall), and each of them will in any
case get one point. Similarly, you can vote for the same player in more
than one position, and he will get one point in each position.
- Deadline: December 27, 23:59 GMT.
