'Who Will Get Possession of FIFA's 2004 Accolade?' Ask Internet Bookmakers Intertops.com

ST. JOHNS, Antigua, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- It's a close match to lead the field when it comes to the cream of world soccer talent, according to Internet bookmakers Intertops.com.

The world soccer body FIFA has narrowed a 50-player field down to a final three ahead of the presentation of the World Player of the Year award on December 20 at Zurich Opera House. Intertops.com is kicking off the proceedings with some great odds! Whilst France's Thierry Henry (2/1) and Brazil's Ronaldinho (7/5) look to defend the title previously claimed by their illustrious countrymen Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and Romario, AC Milan's Ukrainian striker Andrij Shevchenko (7/5) could score for Eastern Europe for the first time in the award's fourteen-year history.

"Sheva" is widely recognized as the top marksman in the Italian Serie A and led his country to the top of its World Cup qualifying group in 2004. Ronaldinho -- known to Brazilian fans as the legitimate successor to Pele in the country's number 10 shirt -- has been a revelation this season for Spanish giant Barcelona. French star Henry, the most dangerous striker in the English Premier League, has also enjoyed an incredible year of club football, blasting 30 Premiership goals as Arsenal romped to the title in May on the back of an unbelievable unbeaten season. But Henry's copybook remains somewhat blotted by a foul year suffered by the French national team in 2004.

"But who said soccer was just for the boys?" said Intertops.com COO Michael Maerz. "We watched 18-year-old young Brazilian starlet Marta lead her country to the Olympic final in Athens, and we believe she could score a great triumph for the girls at 7/5."

"It will be a great event, and we know all soccer fans will be keen to wager on their favorite player," he added. "At Intertops.com, we make it our goal to give you a big win this Christmas!"
