Smith on 2008 Women's World Player shortlist

England and Arsenal forward Kelly Smith has been nominated for the 2008 FIFA
Women's World Player award, on a shortlist with just four other players.

英格蘭暨兵工廠前鋒Kelly Smith獲得FIFA提名2008年世界足球小姐殊榮。

With the list growing from three players to five this year in both the men's
and women's categories, Smith has been included following another successful
year for club and country which saw Arsenal complete a League and Cup double
and England reach their third major tournament in succession.

為兵工廠女足隊與英格蘭國家隊竭盡所能並取得亮眼成績的Smith,
獲此提名可謂名符其實。

Smith will be up against German goalkeeper Nadine Angerer,
Brazil's attacking pair of Cristiane and Marta,
with the list completed by the formidable forward from Germany Birgit Prinz.

Smith將與德國門將Nadine Angerer和Birgit Prinz、
巴西鋒線組合：Cristiane和Marta等四位女將競爭最終排名。

Votes are cast by national team managers and captains from around the world,
and the winner will be announced at a FIFA World Player Gala
in Zurich on 12 January.

世界足球小姐是由FIFA成員中的各國國家隊教練與隊長投票選出,
票選結果將於2009年1月12日FIFA總部瑞士蘇黎世揭曉。
