surveyProf: It seems, the mode of counting of votes, looks strange to lots of people, Team captains, Coaches, and Sports journalist, are the only ones that are allowed to vote, and you're required to vote three players minimum, and the first on your voting list means five points, second means three points and third votes means one point respectively, and frm information, Messi had lots of Captains, Coaches and Sports Jou. Voting him as Number one on their list of voting, that means five points, and that perhaps makes him to carry the day!

Umunede: Cassilas betrayed Ronaldo. He should leave d real maldrid. How can he vote ramos over ronaldo

shagarri: In summary:

Messi's friends are more than Ronaldo's friends

jinha:
He voted as the Spanish national team captain and not as real Madrid captain...

vizboy: Well the fact is fifa gave it to messi but to me ronaldo is the best just my personal opinion. If fifa know these was not bais they would have put it online for all football loving fans to vote just like goal.com does rather than allowing just a few bias coach and players to vote

dammytex:

And what do you think would happen when all the football fans in China vote for only one player? Do you think it would still be fair?

Le Sulk: [color=#990000][/color]thanks for telling us how we got our world best.can u tell us how we got our world xi or did the spanish football association decide it alone?

vizboy: thank you

Wasted vote . . . .

Jarus:
Eto'o came 3rd as recently as 2004. He was an African. Stop the racist remark. Drogba came 8th and you wont tell me he did more than the 7 guys ranked ahead of him.

olawalebabs: am not suprise about his choice, after listening to his comment about foreign coach in Africa, i believe the man must be a 'racist'

BodyKiss: In 2011 when Ronaldo broke record, had more goals, but without major trophy, Messi won it, then people said Messi won the Ballon d'or because of the titles and team achievement.
In 2012, Ronaldo scored less goals and won major trophy, while Messi scored more goals and won no major trophy and still win the award. Now the story is that the award is for individual achievement, not team. No matter how you look at it, this whole thing is about Messi being more likeable than Ronaldo.

Its alphaa: y r u guys sayin cr7 shud av won it....if iniesta ws d best player at d 2012 euros nd was ALSO voted UEFA player of the season ahead of ronaldo TOO...dnt u think d competition shud b btw Leo nd messi...bsides hw do u reward sm1 for scorin 91goals in a year F God's sake!! Messi z a worthy winner abeg

elampiro:

Using your logic, if Iniester was player of the season, it means he was better than Messi in Barca and also the player of Euro 2012, so Iniester should have won it to align with consistency in judgement.
Is it not obvious to you that Iniester didn't play as much as Ronaldo or Messi in Laliga? Ronaldo was clearly player of the season, the EUFA authorities and their allies have already decided to frustrate Ronaldo. Look at it, Messi, Iniester and Xavi in one team, yet Ronaldo all alone in Madrid and he carried Madrid over Barca in the classico and won the league. I am looking at the world top four players. It won't be surprising if next year they decided Xavi is the best in Europe.

Its alphaa: mind u Mr, ronaldo dint evn win d laliga player of d season award, messi beat him 2 it, if he dosnt win d award, or d pichichi, or d EURO 2012 mvp or d UEFA mvp for 2011/2012?? Dyu think he shud win d ballon d'or

vizboy:
you cant tell me all china football loving fans are going to vote for just 1 person there must always be miss up they just have to pick 1 out of the 3. Are you saying all football loving fans in naija are all followers of messi

Dee60: Keshi - Is this how you want to win AFCON? Yaya ko, Sule ni!

As for Real Madrid - A house in shambles.....they should get up quickly and manage their differences.
