Top 10 Stories of 2008

 

An open letter to readers:

 

I'm seeking your help in compiling a list of the top 10 football stories of the past 12 months. Already included in the process are well-known football writers, editors and media personalities from throughout North America, South America and Europe.

 

Each of your votes will be worth the same amount as the participating celebrity voters. The final rankings will appear in my Penalty Kicks column in the December 27 edition of the Winnipeg Free Press.

 

Here are your choices. Feel free to email either your single pick for Story of the Year or a ranking of your top 10.

 

a. Spain wins EURO 2008

b. Egypt wins African Cup of Nations

c. Manchester United win Premier League and Champions' League double

d. LDU Quito win Copa America

e. Montreal Impact contend in CONCACAF Champions' League

f. Manchester City: become world's richest club and buy Robinho

g. David Beckham joins AC Milan

h. Newcastle: hire Kevin Keegan, fire Kevin Keegan, and various other shenanigans

i. Ronaldinho joins AC Milan

j. Cristiano Ronaldo: scores 42-goals and almost joins Real Madrid

k. Maradona appointed Argentina coach

 

If I have missed an item worthy of a vote, include it as a write-in. And for the record, Ronaldo picking up a pair of transvestites is off limits.

 

Cheers,
