Leo Messi , Manuel Neuer or Cristiano Ronaldo ? Who is
the best in the world?

Ronaldo and Messi have scored 36 goals between
them in all matches this season, with both laying claim to be the world's greatest player.
The pair are on the 23-man shortlist for the 2014 Fifa
Ballon d'Or, awarded to the best player in world football.
Ronaldo has been described as "almost perfect" by compatriot team-mate Ricardo Carvalho. But Argentina coach Gerardo Martino says his heart "lies with Messi".
The two forwards are the only players to have been named the world's top male player in the last six
years, with Ronaldo winning the award in 2008 and
2013, and Messi receiving the honour in 2009, 2010,
2011 and 2012.
Messi also won the Golden Ball after being named
player of the tournament at the 2014 World Cup in
Brazil, where Argentina finished runners-up.

Messi v Ronaldo on the
world stage.

Both players had their case for winning the Ballon
d'Or put forward by international colleagues at news
conferences last Monday.
Portugal defender Carvalho, who spent three years
playing alongside Ronaldo at Real Madrid, said of the
29-year-old: "When you see him, he is almost perfect."
The Monaco centre-back added. "He is strong, good in
the air, fit always. It is difficult to say what he is
missing. He wants always more and more, even in
training.
"I am a little bit biased, but I think he is the best. All
of us expect him to win the Ballon d'Or. We are so
proud of him."
But Argentina coach Martino said he would vote for
27-year-old Messi, whom he also coached at Barcelona
for a season before leaving in May.
Martino said: "You can't take out of the deciding
process the fact that I am Argentinian, and my heart
lies with Messi. I am not the best person to judge. I cannot separate sentiment from my objective decision. Whatever season Messi has had on footballing grounds, I would still vote for him."
The pair played at Old Trafford where both were substituted before the start of the second half,a match Portugal won over Argentina by a last minute lone goal.
Ronaldo - scorer of 18 goals in 10 league
games for Real Madrid this season - was part of a
Manchester United side who beat Messi's Barcelona
1-0 in a Champions League semi-final second leg for a
2-1 aggregate victory before going on to defeat
Chelsea in the final.
It is a shortlist of 23 men but the two are the most outstanding. Which of the two do you think deserves the Ballon dOr'?
Give your points and make us convinced.lol!!!
# p.s
- LIKE if MESSI is winning.
-SHARE if RONALDO is winning.

THE INDEPENDENCE SQUARE WITH THE INDEPENDENCE ARCH,ACCRA,GHANA

The Independence Square is the second largest city
square in the world after China’s Tiananmen
Square.
The Square, called the Black Star Square was built in
1961 by Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah
to honour the visit of Queen Elizabeth II.
It is famous in the history of Ghana as it is the site for
Ghana’s annual Independence Day Parade every 6th
of March and other national events.
Built to accommodate 30,000 people, it is the second
largest city square in the world. The square boasts of
two monuments; the Independence Arch and the
Black Star Monument also known as the Black Star
Gate.
A statue of a soldier faces the Independence Arch;
and symbolizes the countless Ghanaians who lost their
lives fighting for Ghana’s Independence.
The Independence Square, situated in Accra, is also
the only location for the inaugural ceremonies of
Ghana’s President-elects.
It is a symbol of the bloodshed and fight of the people
against oppressor’s rule and serves as a constant
reminder of Ghana’s indomitable patriotic spirit and
the love of the people for their motherland.

ol boy come see inflation nah! Shey una dey laugh Ghana? ah ah Una go hear am. GEJ WA DOOHHH! GEJ TILL 5057! AH AH

I shock sef!!

emmysoftyou:
oh bro yu said what i heard was totally false and later said some practices matrilineal family system..
is there any different in wat i said earlier?
pls reconcile the statement and make it clear.

what I was trying to put across is that,by the matrilineal system of the akans for instance,the child is from the mother's abusua(family) and thus her hometown. but the father has full control over the child and so he has to name the child. what I refuted from your post was the part where I saw you typed something like or near-" children in Ghana bear their mothers' surnames"...its never true for both the Patrilineal and matrilineal systems...all in all,fathers own all children in Ghana and have the sole responsibility to name them whatever name they like except by Law/in special cases.

emmysoftyou:
am not doubting what yu said about bride price being taking care by the family or extended family...because in indian or ghana ,i heard they bear their mother's name as their surname becos they re
the one paying or taking care of their groom's list or price...
So my dear... Re yu ghana or where re you from?

my bro,what you heard about Ghana is totally false.
though some practise matrilineal family system,the father holds full responsibility of the children.

I am so sad.Rest in peace to the dead
