Gear up all you soccer fans, as the much awaited voting starts for 2011 World Soccer Awards! Yes, it is that time of the year again, when World Soccer readers are asked to review the past one year and choose their player, team, manager of the year.
If you don’t remember, then let us remind you that last year, Xavi was awarded the world’s best with world champions Spain and Jose Mourinho. Considered as the oldest of their kind in the soccer world, these awards are in their 30th year celebration.
Argentina may not be the world champion but no one can take away the fact that it is one of the classiest team in the world. Argentina proved it one more time it is a great side, as they thwarted the world champion, Spain 4-1 in a friendly match played in Buenos Aires. Goals from Lionel Messi, Carlos Tévez , Gonzalo Higuaín and Sergio Agüero, assisted by some sloppy work by Pepe Reina made sure that world champions weren’t invincible. After the World cup debacle, this should do a world of good to the Argentine side. This will give them the much needed morale booster as they gear up for the next season.
