I’m trying to figureout how Klose got above David Villa. Did they award extra points for playing in the final?

Whatever, I’ll take it, he was on my fantasy squad. With your list, I have 109 points. Klose, Zlatan, CRon (a hold-my-nose pick), Cesc, Lahm, Buffon. I can’t remember who else was on my list.

I would have more, except we did a fantasy draft and I couldn’t pick anyone that Chris, Daryl and Ian had taken.

No, really. That’s the only reason.
outa control

Philip lahm, should no be no where near that top,why? just rewind or fast forward the semifinal to the turkey second goal and then the spain goal in the final, he was so bad they did not even announce his substitution the coach said “dude u suck and its killing us” that was a joke, but he did suck.
