IBRAHIMOVIC PERPLEXED BY FIFA OMISSION

Inter striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is puzzled by his exclusion from the shortlist for the 2007 FIFA World Player of the Year award and says he has never played better in his whole life.

The Swedish superstar has made a sensational start to the current campaign and leads the Serie A scoring charts alongside David Treazeguet, after scoring seven goals in an as many league games.

Last season Ibra helped lead Inter to their first Scudetto on the field for 18 years and he is considered by many to be the most in-form player in Italy at this current moment.

Despite these credentials Ibrahimovic was not nominated by FIFA for their 2007 World Player of the Year award, a decision which his national coach Lars Lagerback has already described as â€œabsurdâ€.

â€œIt is normal that my dream is to become the best footballer in the world,â€ admitted Ibra.

â€œDespite what has been decided, I believe that I have never played so well in my whole life.â€

Ibrahimovic, who is currently preparing for his countryâ€™s Euro 2008 qualifier against Liechtenstein on Saturday, is not the only high-profile name to be left off FIFAâ€™s 30-man shortlist. Francesco Totti, David Villa, Cesc Fabregas and Luca Toni also failed to make the cut.

Thats a fkn joke, cannot believe this, he's in the form of he's life. Paul Merson he deserves to be on that list, you wouldn't carry on about it becasue you don't deserve to be there.... So stop complaining about him not being on the list.

No idea comment.

Regardless I don't know why players care so much for individual awards, must be a stack of cash tied to them via their sponsors.

I have to admit individual awards have never really interested me. The same goes for the golden boot.

how can individual awards not worry them most footballers worry about their egos rather than playing the 'team' game

It truly mustn't interest me because I don't know who won it last year

Ibra is a toss nut. Had a big sook when he was at Juve. It's all he does is sook. Maybe he should stick to making swedish meatballs

In Ibra's case it's probably because he loves himself like you wouldn'y believe...
