It’s the clash of the two of the finest
footballers in the planet as Zlatan and Cristiano
Ronaldo look to take their team to the World
Cup in Brazil

Portugal : Raul Patricio ; Joao Pereira ,Pepe , Bruno Alves , Fabio Coentrao ; Mouthinho ,
Viloso , Josue ; Nani ; Postiga ; Cristiano Ronaldo

Sweden : Andreas Issakson ; Lustig , Nilson , Antonsson , Olsson ; Ekdal, Durmaz , Wernbloom,
Larsson ; Elamander , Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s duel with Zlatan Ibrahimovic to avoid becoming the best player to miss next summer’s World Cup has been overshadowed by claims by Portugal defender Pepe of Fifa bias against his country’s talisman..
Portugal versus Sweden — aka Ronaldo versus Zlatan — stands out as the most eye-catching of the two-legged European play-offs, which begin with the first-legs on Friday night, due to the prospect of one of world football’s aristocrats being forced to watch from home when the World Cup takes place in Brazil.
Real Madrid forward Ronaldo and Paris St-Germain striker Ibrahimovic are both expected to challenge Lionel Messi to become the recipient of this year’s Ballon d’Or — recognised as the prize for the globe’s most outstanding footballer of the year.
But with Fifa president Sepp Blatter ridiculing Ronaldo during a recent speaking engagement at the Oxford Union, Portugal centre-half Pepe claims Blatter’s comments have 'opened people’s eyes’ to alleged bias against the former Manchester United player.
“We know that with Ronaldo’s [goalscoring] figures, it was not normal that he had only won one Ballon d’Or, after having been to seven or eight galas,” Pepe said.

. The best to play is portugal win highest number of corners

Any team not capable of posing threat/harming my super Eagles should qualify.

Theben: Any team not capable of posing threat/harming my super Eagles should qualify.

Not intended to derail the thread but do you mean any team capable of harming super eagles as in u strongly believe eagles can win the trophy right?

I just wish they didn't draw them together. I like ibra and cr7.
Wish i could see them both in brazil.

Supportin Sweden nd Ibra all d way.CR7 fit wait till 2018.

world best or not,even if they give another the empty cup you are the best player i ever know.....messi fifa best ronaldo world best










cr7 reminds me of myself wen growing up i was not d best of student but thank God today am a graduate with first class computer science....i respect hardwork wen i see one

If Portugal loses, I'll break down.
Who do I want to watch out for in the world cup apart from my naija ?

C. Ronaldo must be in Brazil next year, if not. . . . . . . .

So sad that of the 2 finest ,one will have 2 watch the world cup from home,I just pray it won't be CR7

a game of the world's finest but I tip the country whose star is below. (n.b he is thinking of how to pieces the defense.

Ronaldo, nani, contreao, mereiles, moutinho, pepe, bruno alvez, postilga and 3 others versus ibrahimovic and 10 others.

In as mch as this is d match 2 watch,i hate 2 knw dt 1 of ds gr8 footballers wil miss d world cup... I tip portugal 2 take it anyway!

Omo,dat Postiga wey dey strike for Valencia na devil o make sweden beware,no be only CR7 bad for dat team....i love postiga's playing style,he dey combine 9 with 10.daredevil!!! I love CR7 and Ibrahimovic.cnt support either of the team but i don sabi Ibra for a long time sha and dia is no denying d fact that Ibrahimovic got more experience than CR7 and i believe he can single-handedly punish Portugal but then CR7 has all the capacity of doing the seemingly-impossible on the pitch.it is indeed veey sad that one of the duo will not be present in BRASIL 2014...so sad!!! Fifa,una no do well oooo

It will be injustice to deny Ribery, although there were players in the past who merited it but were denied but at the same time Ronaldo didn't win anything in the year ending.
