This "Golden Foot"award wants to become more popular than "Ballon D'Or",so they gave it to Cavani to make a headline.

What, Cavani plays in the league one which is not so competitive if he is playing in the premier league, he can't get the golden boot as much as he does in the French league. Another reason is that PSG stagnates in the Champions League and Cavani doesn't win any awards there so I think the winner should be questionably SERGIO AGUERO

How did Bale make the list (sure it said one of the demands are your active) Bale seems spend more time at Real’s sickbay than on pitch!
