Hi,

Lets remember Kelly was injured and didnt play much last season for Arsenal so for her to be nominated was great and with a better season and England & Arsenal getting better, she will have more chance next year.

Yes Kelly was injured and did not play much in 2005
but when she was playing, she was great, just as I described it in my previous post.
I am not saying she deserves the award,
I'm saying that Prinz doesn't.
There are much better footballers than Birgit,
like Marta, Boxx, Lingor or Ljungberg.
It's only my opinion of course, feel free do disagree

yeah we do remember that she didnt play much of last season , but when she does play she is outstanding. that's the point we were trying to make. it was her goal at the end of last season that gave us the title over charlton. such an important player.

even at the beginning of this season when she wasnt fully fit she had such an impact on the games. i was at the bristol academy match in september where she came on midway thru the 2nd half and the game changed dramatically. she adds such a touch of class and has been such an influential player, even tho she hasnt played as much as other players in the past year. it was the same at fulham, Arsenal looked a different side when she was on the pitch - it went a bit downhill after she went off to be honest.

and england definitely looked a better side in the euros when kelly was on the pitch. and her goal against the czech republic = CLASS

i never thought she'd win cos she hadnt played as much, but surely we're allowed to big-up our national treasure!!!

I agree I actually feel that last year Prinz was not even the best German player let alone world player of the year.

Prinz is good, but like was said on here, its getting boring! The mens seem to have a different superstar every year, but the womens game is stuck at the moment on having miss Prinz as the "number 1"

Next year hopefully if kelly stays out of the physio room she will be right up there! I know I'd vote for her!!!

yeah i think prinz is a brilliant player but shes not as good as she used to be - between 2001 and 2003 was her best spell. winning the world cup and playing for the WUSA

I think theres better players than her now - I personally think some of the scandavian and american players are popping up.
