I think you are right...but why can't we celebrate our own African stars with the same accolades
-

-
yes we should make CAF awards and make sure we advertise them properly.
We should also celebrate our soccer legends and players as they do,young kids don't know Benny but every team he played for overseas he's a legend specially EPL,so we are also to blame.

I don't think any of those players mentioned are good enough to win the world best player except
@jayjay...its not just about the names or business or who is sellable or who isn't its about the talent and hardwork combined. -
Even jay was good enough to win it. Is jay in his era better than zidane, Ronaldo de Lima ,Romario,rivaldo, come on let’s be honest. George weah remains the best out of Africa, he was unbelievable in his time. Remember seedof,schechenko,Thierry henry, they never won it
-
You would agree that jay was the best of those he mentioned....
-
Do you know how good Alan sheera was, there’s a season he score 37 goals not one season repeatedly, theirry Henry same, Rudd van nisteroy. Okocha was good but to an extent. World best are unbelievable players not just being good Messi 2 Ronaldos Zidane Ronaldinho Weah

drogba deserved it in 2012 but for whatever reason he got 0!
-
Messi got 91 goals for Barcelona and Argentina that season. Whatever reason...
-
I thought trophies matter more.. whatever reason wise man of stars??
-
Possibly the greatest player of all time's best ever personal season, having already won everything, and you'd give it to Drogba for an equalizer and a penalty? Does that mean if Robben scored the penalty in normal time, he's the world player of the year? I see your point though.

@bennimccarthy17 should stop with all this crap. The best player is voted by journalists, by coaches and players from all over the world. It is not a question whether you are black or white, european or african.The best player wins. The rest is racism, xenophobia and ignorance.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.

It's not a theory... Ben is right..
-
No it's not true, what African player is better than Messi or Ronaldo ?
-
You have to look at performances in particular seasons not names....in 2006 Eto'o was better than the winner cannavaro
-
Ronaldinho should have won that season, but it was a World Cup year and Cannavaro won with Italy, but yes Etoo was better than Cannavaro that season.
-
Then the criteria for the awards is very awkward coz even in 2010 sneijder was stand out in World Cup and won champions league..he received nothing
-
I know, it changes nearly every year, In 2013 Ribery won everything with Bayern while being the star player, but he didn't win it.
