That explains why none of the Arsenal girls were up there , some of them will never get to the w/c.

Brazil vs Germany Final. 2 Brazilians and one German win best player. Rolling Eyes

She did score a few, but there are better players.

Actually if it wasn't a WC year I think Kelly Smith would have won, or at least gotten second to Marta. She was successful in her international appearances, and everyone knows her name. But the WWC gives the coaches and players who vote on this thing tunnel vision on who to focus on so people completely forget about club success, which was what made Smith's year so impressive.

I'm OT here - but why did Arsenal ladies not win the Sports team of the year, in UK?

They won every trophy and didn't lose a game.

But, BBC gave it to English RU team who came second in a tournament.

Have the BBC lost the contract (to ITV) to show England womens matches?

Cant wait to see Marta back in action on the national team..... On her own website she states that the Olympic goal 2008 is her biggest target so far.....

Thanks for that Mike Smile , didn't realise she had her own website. She's not a favourite of mine as most people know , but there's no questioning her talent.

Bonjour

Everybody speaks well of Marta. Personally I find that sometimes she misses professionalism and adopts violent behavior. At first there was the behavior with Brigit Prinz during finale of the Europe Cup (Frankfort FC vs Umea IK), then recently during a match Umea IK FC Malm ö ( June 11th of this year ), Marta was very aggressive to a défenser player opponent Emma Wilhemsson: Marta would have given him the kicks in the stomach (eh yes many several kicks). Captain Nilla Fischer of the FC Malmo would have even tried to calm Marta by speaking to him slowly. Verdict red card to Marta and 3 matches of suspension by the Swedish Federation. Thus Marta was suspended. His gesture was unforgivable. Marta struck with his fist repeatedly a player. Inadmissible behavior....

I don't like Marta , think she's a dirty player but I do give her respect when it's warranted ( although that's through gritted teeth Laughing ).
