World Best Goal Getter

According to the IFFHS, the International Football Federation of History and Statistics, based in Germany, the World's Top Goal Scorer for 2010 is:

1. Bader Ahmed Al-Mutawa (Al-Qadisia SC Kuwait-City / Kuwait)
2. Samuel Eto'o Fils (FC Internazionale Milano / Cameroun)
3. David Villa (Valencia CF / FC Barcelona / España)
4. Klaas Jan Huntelaar (FC Schalke 04 / Nederland)
5. Yousef Naser Al-Sulaiman (Kazma Kuwait-City / Kuwait)
6. Edison Cavani (SSC Napoli / Uruguay)
6. Diego Forlán (Club Atletico de Madrid / Uruguay)
8. Lionel Andrés Messi (FC Barcelona / Argentina)
9. Javier Hernández (Manchester United FC / México)
10. Ali Mohamed Al-Nono (Al-Ahli Sana'a / Yemen)
11. Miroslav Klose (FC Bayern München / Deutschland)
12. Ismaeel Hassan Abdullatif (Bahrain Al-Riffa Club / Bahrain)
13. Javier Antonio Orozco (CD Cruz Azul Ciudad de México / México)
14. Kurlson Benjamin (Bath Estate / Dominica)
14. Katlego Abel Mphela (Mamelodi Sundowns Pretoria / South Africa)
16. Wesley Sneijder (FC Internazionale Milano / Nederland)
16. Luis Alberto Suárez (AFC Ajax Amsterdam / Uruguay)
18. Peter Crouch (Tottenham Hotspurs FC / England)
18. Luis Carlos Tejada (C Juan Aurich de Chiclayo / Panamá)
20. Zlatan Ibrahimović (FC Barcelona / Milan AC / Sweden)

Now the ranking is based on statistics, goals, game winning goals, first goals, etc. There is no weighting based on league in this case or level of competition. As you can see Kuwait, Yemen, and Bahrain rank extremely high. But what of La Liga, well three of the most deadly and prolific strikers David Villa, Diego Forlan and Lionel Messi are represented for both club and country. All three had stellar years and are world class finishers. Ex La Liga strikers Wesley Sneijder. Samuel Eto'o and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are also represented. Samu and El Guaje have continuously been neck and neck in the goals competition throughout their careers.

It is not easy to score goals in La Liga, but it is good to see the league well represented.

Official: Wesley Sneijder Transfered to Inter Milan

Real Madrid's Dutch influenced football is coming to an end. Today came the official confirmation of the deal which will take Real Madrid's Wesley Sneijder to Italy to none other than Inter Milan. "Real Madrid CF and FC Inter Milan have reached an agreement for the transfer of the player Wesley Sneijder to Italian club" The Spanish club stated on its official website today.

To be honest, when it comes to me, I don't give a damn about Wesley. He was sub-par and I think he was never that good for a team of Real Madrid's caliber. His performance last season was abysmal (don't give me the whole team sucked excuse). But if we are to consider the deal in a sport's vintage point, we see that as inconsistent Wesley is we could have used an extra attacking midfielder in the squad, specially when you consider the talent that Wesley have (but don't show often) and considering the injuries that might haunt our players like the scenario of the last season (god forbid !).

This should prove a good deal for Inter (my personal favorite team in Italy) as they seem to need the kind of player Wesley is in the midfield.

I'll be cursing far more when it come to Robben's near departure of the club albeit nothing official happend just yet (please god nooo !)
