Cristiano Ronaldo wins FIFA World Footballer of the Year

A world champion who plays for a world champion club. What more can be said. He deserved it for his great exhibition of football skills last season.

Notice who was part of the reason he won it. Sir Alex ferguson. The World Champion Manager. Manchester United just seem to have everything these days. Maybe another Premiership title will follow this year.

FIFA PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARDS

is not about onley talented INDIVIDUALS

But talented INDIVIDUALS PLAYER that contributes & makes good achievement for his teamnates and especially his club !!

Yess C RONALDO deserved to win this awards because he makes MAN UTD Man Utd wins EPL LEAGUE AND CHAMPIONS LEAGUES and FIFA CLUB WORLD CLUB !!

MESSI still not deserved to win this awards bcause as individuals no doubts he is good & talented, but not as good to contribute or help is club (Barcelona) to win any trophys last season

so BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO ..C. Ronaldo u desreved it !!

Viva Manchester too!

Ok, I don't say that spitefully but the season showed that with CR, Man U was sputtering. So, without him, they are a bit better than your average PL team. Yeh, Manyoo is world champs and that's why Tevez and Ronaldo would like to be playing in Spain.

Don't take what I say as being disagreeable, I don't want to be like BTS.

No surprise really, but if it was up to me... I would have given Messi the award.Ronaldo may have scored 42 goals, but how many were FreeKicks+pens? People should also remember how much rubbish is in the EPL.There is so much HYPE that surrouds it, but there is so much cannon fodder for Ronaldo to destroy.He wouldn't find it so easy in La Liga.If Fergie was offered a swap with Messi, I bet he wouldn't hesitate... and if United fans were being honest, 99% of them would also do THAT swap without hesitation... eh phughes699?

Ah! We see who has poisoned Portugal and it's a guy with a mustache from Brazil. Some can be happy with Portugal's performance, but they've had Deco, Figo, Maniche, Carvalho, lots of durn good players and Ronaldo and they should have taken it a step further without a bunch of analysis.

Plus: Ronaldo's not totally a big ego, the guys done charity work, I don't know if that match to play in Iraq ever came off but he was signed up for that. I think actually Ronaldo is a pretty good guy, I don't know what he was doing speeding in the ferrari, toy, pressure or what.

But if I were Spanish or Portuguese or Argentine, I can't fault these guys that they'd want to play in Spain, for someone of that background, it'd be exciting to be in Madrid as the world's best player.

Don't fault Ronaldo, he's wanted to go over and play in Spain, what was Barcelona last year anyway in the liga? 3rd place!

Ronaldo, about 300 votes ahead of Messi, just where he belongs!

All he have to do now is to leave ManU.

Go Go Ronaldo It's all yours and no doubt you deserved it

He deserve this award because he made my birthday better when Man United won Chelsea 3-0 this Sunday ..

and in else matter Saudi Arabia won over United Arab Emirates 3-0 in the very same day so I believed that "birthday wish.. can come true"

let's not talk up this pompous prick unless he wins the 'Galactic Footballer of the Century', shall we ?

i'm sure Jupiter's and Neptune's footballers of the year will say they take better free-kicks than Ronaldo...........

He clearly had the best year of anyone in the world, and he deserves the trophy. Now he needs to go to a larger city like london, or madrid or barcelona and become an even bigger star, instead of staying in that dump of a city manchester. Eventually the players will see manchester is a dump and its so small of a city that offers nothing to the residents that live there and they will go to real madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, arsenal or Milan instead. Liverpool is not a big city either but its much nicer and cleaner than manchester and its on the water

By the way, the Israeli pro leagues have teams like Maccabi Tel Aviv, Beitar, all kinds, I read up on it once, 442 magazine.

We've got diametrically opposed thinking people here, people should be diplomatic and Phughes is a nice enough guy, someone coming up with some names though, I gotta wonder if they are just under a different name from guys we read, but then, some guys are taking out frustrations here, so don't let it get to people.

This is soccerway's home, we are in someone else's home, be nice. They've got fine stats and tables here.

Jewsoccer, are you informed enough to make the assumptions that you have about the fair city of Manchester, reading your comments I don’t think you are.

Manchester isn’t perfect but it is streets ahead of any other regional city in the UK, yes it has its poor areas but hasn’t every major city. Manchester is the third most visited city in the UK after London and Edinburgh and is second only London in terms of year on year economic growth (though it has slowed recently due to the global credit crunch) and again second only to London for the amount of bars, clubs and restaurant etc. Even though Birmingham has a larger population a recent poll voted Manchester as the UK’s second city.

The world we live in today (opinions will differ to whether it is good or bad) has been influenced more by the city and people of Manchester than any other city in the world. Manchester was the world’s first modern, industrialised city. Manchester provided its citizens with the first public library in the UK (John Rylands Library); it was the first city in the UK to have a permanently based orchestra (the Halle). We developed the first computer (take a step back and remember what we are using to conduct these debates). In 1888 the football league was founded in a hotel in Manchester (again, take a look at the site that you peruse).

There is an age old quote that we Mancunians are very proud of, it goes like this:

“What Manchester does today the world does tomorrow”

Hey Paul, I see the bloke with the girls name is still hanging around. In my bad old days I use to occasionally slip under the covers with a girl called Holly, man she would do anything, she loved it up the back passage but she was quite annoying though... mmm I wonder?
