1996 Sammer was ballon D'or(Because he won Euro cup) though Ronaldo won the FIFA awards

2000 Zidane won the FIFA awards and Figo won the UEFA ballon D'or both were on the back of their Euro cup performance.

2004 Nobody was outstanding so the 2 winner were those who did not feature at the Euro cup at all Not those who went anf fumbled(That was what worked against henry he went and fumbled Just like Ronaldo)

Ronaldo went to the tourney and fumbled!!!!

oh no, i clearly see that u guys actually think that in 2004 rohhny was a better player than thierry

coz that is kinda bias, anyways that has happened nd 4 d records,he dint fumble at euro 2004(he was average).As 4 rohhny didnt even go 2 the COPA AMERICA that yr.

and thierry surpassed him by far on club form.So that also goes 4 Cristiano,he outshoned every other player at club level.And as 4 d EURO'S i tot he was quite okay.

C. Ronaldo can not be said to be quite ok at the Euro's he was well below par.

He did not make the tournament best 23 I doubt if he would have made the top 100.

Tournament performance are very important in tournament years. They can make or mar your chances

U didn't even bovver to read the article before posting. grin cheesy tongue
Henry said: "He needs to win titles, that is the only thing that counts against him.
But I seem him do incredible things in training, and then he produces them on the field, like the match against Atletico Madrid."

Henry has already given up on Messi winning it this year. . . . .so who's next??

dont mind the olodo, very annoying and ignorant brat.
Re: World Best 2008 by slimghost(m): 8:44pm On Oct 16, 2008
But come to think of it, what kind of dump and annoying argument is this sef?. What on earth did Messi achieve last season to dream of becoming the world's best, how many games did he even play last season?. Sentiments apart, Messi is not suppsed to be among the first 3. (dont get it twisted, he is one of the best players in the world rigth now, but world footballer of the year? never. Why was Iniesta voted Barca's player of the season when some old fools here are fooling themselves tryna tell us wat a fantastic season Messy had. Enuf jooooooooooo!
Re: World Best 2008 by dayokanu(m): 8:51am On Oct 17, 2008
Old fools like Thierry henry, Kaka, Dinho, so who are the new fools? Slimghost and who?

When Ronaldo won in 1996 what medal did he win? what did George Weah win to be named world player of the year? what did Dinho or Shevchenko win in 2004?
Re: World Best 2008 by Bobbyb(m): 12:45pm On Oct 17, 2008
Guys my analysis is this;Cristiano ronaldo was d best player in d UEFA CHAMP> LEAGUE,best player in d premiership,won d EMS GOLDEN SHOE AWARD,nd arguably d best there is at d moment.>1st nominee.

Iker cassilas was d best player in LA LIGA,spains best player at d EUROs,nd also arguably d best keeper in d world at d moment.>2nd nominee.

Fernando Torres was d best striker in d world from january 2008-october 2008,top 3 premiership players,scored d most important goal in EURO 2008,nd 4 once Gerrad was not d player of d season at Anfield.>3rd nominee.

So all said nd done,it's RONALDO,CASSILAS,TORRES.see u all in Zurich.

Dayokanu,
Don't know where you get your info.

If we go by your logic,Dayokanu,then Ronaldo's performance at Euro 2008 shouldn't count against him.
Re: World Best 2008 by dayokanu(m): 2:04pm On Oct 22, 2008
@Eastbay,
You gave a link where Kaka supported onaldo and I gave you several links that other people including Kaka supported Messi so what are you driving at?

Have you seen a player that went to the tournament messed up and still won? Ronaldo messed up at the biggest tournament of the year.

The players that won did not go to the tournament this is different from someone that went and messed up.

Platini said it back in February that Ronaldo has to do well at the Euro's to win the player of the year.
Re: World Best 2008 by Bobbyb(m): 10:35pm On Oct 26, 2008
na platini be standard?coz if it's lyk dat den Henry shld hv won it d 2times he was nominated
coz even Seep blatter tipped him 2 scoop d award d 2times he was nominated.
