		<description>[...] Furthermore, it was not made clear by either FIFA or France Football if the same voting system will also be used for the FIFA Women&#8217;s Player of the Year award, its existence continuing to give off the air of an afterthought (which, technically, it was: the women&#8217;s award was only instituted by FIFA in 2001). As we noted in December, voting in that award seemed to be even more skewed to checking the box based on a YouTube highlights reel than judgment on performance at a global level: the selection of Marta in 2009 over the more deserving Inka Grings showed this.

		<description>Great stuff, Tom. And great catch on yet another FIFA slip-up in the news release. Some of these things are truly unbelievable.</description>

		<description>Have you seen the scores for matches in Brazil &amp; the Copa L?  Ludicrously lopsided - obviously the leagues in SA are at the moment underdeveloped - you can&#039;t even say that Marta or Cristiane&#039;s performances there say much. I am with Shek on this - and complained about FIFA&#039;s approach to the women&#039;s award last year.  Three women have been given this award in ten years.  That&#039;s just sheer laziness &amp; bald insult to the women who play this game.</description>
