Wow, never saw that free-kick in the UNICEF match. Which is weird because I watched alot of the match. Easily beter than the Pompey FK at Old Trafford. The freestyle tricks with that other dude are the shit..

MoMONEY, while I appreciate your comments and am always happy to have people visit the site, I feel like you’re making an Arsene Wenger comment. “Yes we lost, but we were obviously the better team.”

I just don’t see how you can say Messi is better when a RESOUNDING majority of the voters stated that he, in fact, wasn’t.

To me, a lot of these criticisms seem to be in line with how people feel about Barry Bonds. He’s obviously a gifted athlete who contributed a huge amount to the sport, but his personal choices/personality make people hate him/decidedly more critical of him. It happened with Kobe when he was accused of rape. It’s still the case with Terrell Owens in Dallas.

No one has more dislike/mistrust for Ronaldo then I do, but to say that he wasn’t the best player in the world over the past year seems like sour grapes.

momoney: sorry that you can’t come to grips with ronaldo being the best. he’s a winger for god’s sake. 42…for anyone is awesome…but for a winger? i mean come on. people should feel happy to watch a dude that is such a badass at such a young age. and as for the maturity thing, he’s still only 23…i think it will come…and since when do results (you know…like 42 goals worth of results, a champs league worth of results, a prem title worth of results) not make a team or a player better than another?

and taylor…NOTHINS GONNA EVAH KEEP EM DOWN!

Something else that should be mentioned for those that always bring up Ronaldo’s goal count- He took the penalties while Torres did not… I doubt there would be much of a difference if you include that in the reasoning…

There is no doubt that Messi is a better player but the year Rnaldo had was better then anyone else’s. Messi plays with poise and intelligence while Ronaldo just relies on his technical abilities… People should feel sad when they see this guy because he can be so much more but some people have character and some dont…

The free kick against Portsmouth didn’t defy the laws of physics… did it manage to go right, then left, then straight, then right again? Granted, seeing it live was prolly pretty tight… nevertheless, the look on Canizares’ face is amazing in and of itself…
