To be perfectly honest, i think it's a disgrace that Ferdinand wasnt in the nominations - he was every bit as important as Ronaldo in Uniteds team last season. But defenders or goalkeepers never win awards or very rarely. Yashin. Moore don't think even Baresi won one. Did Cannavaro win the last one ? Thats the way the judging goes. The boys upfront get the glory.

im sorry but anyone who thinks Messi was better than Ronaldo is simply wrong, No one on the Planet was on the same level as him, im a huge fan of messi and had enough of my dad saying Messi should have won just because he is Argentinian this is coming from a guy who is unbiased as Ronaldo plays for United and Messi for Argentina

Your father has watched more years of the game young pup. ;D There's an Argentine proverb for it but I can't recall it at the moment. I respect and value his opinion. Not that I'm biased of course. Wonder if TV coverage has anything to do with the result seeing as the Premiershite is wathed worldwide whereas La Liga gets lkess coverage particularly in the Asian and African markets ?

Olympic GOLD ? He was carrying injuries in the latter part of the 2007/8 team , plus he was not receiving the same level of support as CR from Rooney and Tevez,Giggs and co. And Messi still showed more in the CL encounter between the two sides. When CR leaves OT as he will and has promised to do so will you still love him ?

True enough MR. I still find it hard to endear myself to CR undoubtedly skilful as he is. He does not seem to be that doughty character. Tosic part of that stellar u20 Serbian team will be more than adequate replacement I guess. Krasic is one to look out for as well. Gay as Noel Coward OG.
