2 quick chances Muller and Manzukic

Dante and Lewandoski battle

Pataki: See why I call this a useless league, how many chances has Dortmund created thus far, that they keep wasting away......I feel like I am watching two English sides playing a championship game......

Maybe thats why they keep beating Arsenal at Emirate everytime

elampiro: I don't think I need to argue again after learning that Platini supports Ribery.

Havelange supports Brazil Some people say Issa hayatou supports Cameroun even Pope John Paul prays for Italy to win games

elampiro: You mean Platini supports Ribery? I always knew there was something behind this Ribery winning the European best and his unexpected listing among the best three. He is not even my best in Bayern.

Now we know how FIFA and EUFA influence people's thinking.

Who your best is in Bayern makes no difference. You can even say Van Buyten was your personal best

But everyone who could see would know Ribery was Bayerns best player over the whole season with Lahm and Muller with a 2nd and 3rd

elampiro: If it was by trophies, the year Ronaldo won a better trophy than Messi, he still lost.

The yr Messi was CL highest goal scorer, La Liga highest goal scorer and won a title. Now what did Ronaldo achieve in 2012 to deserve it ahead of Messi i 2012

In 2013

Messi CL highest goal scorer, La Liga Highest goal scorer La Liga tittle broke Gerd Mullers record

Ronaldo Hat trick against Sweden in a playoff. Shikena Are you serious?

Purist: You gotta wonder how Portugal ended up having to qualify via play-offs if he was all that. Don't get me wrong, I think he's been fantastic and would actually be deserving of the ballon d'or. However, I don't quite buy the increasingly poplar notion that he's clearly the favourite to win it. Messi and Ribery have just as much chance, and left to me, I'd vote for Messi over the other two.

That was the same thing I asked yesterday

Its like giving PFA player to a player who scored a hat trick in the relegation play off Shouldnt you ask what was his club doing there in the first place

I think even Messi deserves the award this yr over Ronaldo. Messi broke gerd mullers record, Outscored Ronaldo in the league and CL.

Left to me I would vote Ribery 1, Messi 2 then Ronaldo

elampiro: Juventus and France don't need votes to win trophies. They have to work for their points.

Totally a different thing when a FIFA president announces his favorite among two sworn rivals. To best players. What will be the opinion of a voter when he hears that one is trying to be first a celebrity before being a footballer by spending plenty time in salon? Sepp Blatter had already worked on the voters mind by that statement.

The voters will definitely want to align themselves with the oga at the top.

Platini clearly support Ribery because he is French, If a Juventus player was in the running Platini would have supported him

Zidane supports Ribery despite being on the Madrid board, So hows that different from what casillas did?

elampiro: Before this Swedish match, Ronaldo had performed well against all the big oppositions he played against, including Barcelona. In the classico matches, Ronaldo eclipsed Messi in all of them.

Also note that the Sweden match was like a cup final with all the tension and pressure associated with it.

If he performed that well like you claimed yet he had 0 trophy to show for it. He played in the CL semi and was outshined by Lewandoski or the CL semi isnt vs big opposition?

elampiro: He is the president of FIFA, hence he shouldn't been seen to be taking side. His comments go a long way to influencing people's decisions.

Platini is a president of UEFA and he supports Juventus and France openly

Is there anyone who has followed football for a while that wont be a fan of someone or some team

elampiro: Last year, any sensible Madrid player who was to vote ought to have voted Ronaldo, and any sensible player who was a contender ought to have surrendered all his vote to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo should and followed Mourinho out of Madrid. That would have been the end of elclassico at least for 5 years.

Nonsense as usual Did El classico end when Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Zidane Figo left? Thats 9 WPOTY award between those 4 and they left at almost the same time, but once C ronaldo a 1 time winner leaves, that would be the end of el classico?

Thats the problem with ppl who started watching football in 2007 after being pool analyst previously. They think football started the day they discovered DSTV

elampiro: Imagine if Sepp Blatter was a voter.

Is there any human who doesnt have a favourite? Platini still supports Juventus till date, So if Zidane, Matthaus or Elampiro becomes FIFA president tomorrow you expect them to stop being human?

afrodoc: Very good point. If Casillas meets St Peter at the pearly gates i doubt if he would swear that he really thought Ramos deserved it ahead of Ronaldo.
Gives a hint of the dysfunctional state of the Madrid squad last year.
There are certainly some voters who would vote anyone but Ronaldo on general principle i.e they don't like him.

You dont have to vote for your teammate but Casillas had Ramos a fellow Madrid and Spanish teammate there. He knew Ramos wasnt going to win and Ronaldos chances too were slim. So why ruin the relationship with his club and NT teammate

This time last yr was when Mourinho was picking on Casillas and Ramos stood up for him more than anyone else in the team that has to count too

afrodoc: People are mentioning assists as if Ronaldo did not have a good number of assists too.
Ribery had more assists than Ronaldo no doubt but it was much closer than the wide gulf between them in terms of goals scored.

Messi is the best but for this year i believe Ronaldo deserves it. It is not a team award Ronaldo has been better than Messi if you look at the calendar year and definitely better than Ribery. Dont get me wrong, Ribery is a good player in his own right but Bayern's success can't be ascribed to Ribery but to great system in place and the glut of quality players playing within this system.

Is this award for the highest goal scorer? then any striker who wins the golden shoe should then win it

So which success has madrid enjoyed as a team or what can Ronaldo point to as a trophy for his contribution in 2013?

We are saying it as if Madrid doesnt have a glut of quality players themselves Can we say Bayern has more quality than madrid? Yet Ribery excelled above others all 2013

If not Ribery then I think Messi has a better argument, Scored more, broke a legends record and even won a trophy

Chelsea would always bring Lukaku back and still give the number 9 shirt to Torres and also buy another striker

Cos I cant figure why Chelsea kept Demba ba for this season when they had no plans to use him

By the way Sturridge Lukaku contributed 3 goals in second half today

while The entire Chelsea strike force of Ba Torres and Etoo = 3 league goals all season

In this ballon d or case allowing everyone to vote is a flaw. Some ppl would vote for Messi even if he doesn't kick a ball all year

Imagine mourinho and Wenger being on the list of shortlisted coach of the yr when they won nothing in that yr

How can you say categorically that messi didn't perform this yr

He won trophies and broke Gerd Mullers record that stood for almost 50yrs

Ronaldo didn't win any trophy in the 2013 calendar yr

And I don't know when ballon d or became a highest goal scorer trophy. What happens to the guy who provides the assist?

Philip lahm or Dani Alves as defenders probably assist more goals than the Messi Ronaldo train

If Ronaldo and teammates had taken care of business vs Russia, Azervaijan, Northern ireland and Israel all 4th world footballing nation they would never need to play the playoffs to start with

dasparrow: @Bolded

How many Nigerian-bred married men who have been married 15 years or more can boast of never cheating on their wives? What about all the Nigerian-bred married men who are lecturers and pressure their female university students for sex in exchange for passing grades? What about the Nigerian-bred married man who is an employer and is constantly sexually harassing his female subordinates and demanding sex from them and if they refuse, he sacks them? What about the Nigerian-bred married man who demands sex from his underage house girl when his wife is not home? or the Nigerian-bred married man who defiles his own daughter that is sometimes as young as 2 years old?

Are you saying this is peculiar to Nigerian men only?

Cos I dont see any country in this world where these you state doesnt apply

coogar: stop throwing conjectures in the air. the average UK family doesn't have student loans to pay. how many UK students go to university from secondary school?

For you to make an income of around 40k most likely you need a University education and its not free. You have to pay for your loan.

the UK is very compact & with a world class transportation system. you don't need a car, let alone 2 cars.

For one car you still need to pay the finance cost of a car and insurance on a car How much does that add up to per month.

stop asking me stüpid questions....
even the students loan have an activation clause. you must make more than a certain amount in wages before you can be asked to pay back.

So whats the base amount you need to make before your loan activation clause can be activated. I know in the US a student loan is a lifetime debt and no matter the lenght of defferment you still have to pay someday. Student loans cant be written off in chapter 7 or chapter 11 bankruptcy

i have told you the combined wages of most families isn't up to £40k & they are living very fine so if the husband is getting £40k per annum, it's more than enough to keep the family ticking.

A 40k income is barely enough to take care of the household when push comes to shove without giving up some significantly in lifestyle changes which would come back to affect the children on the long run

people don't - you need a good credit score to get credit cards in the first place & millions of nigerians don't carry credit cards. what other expenses?

Most ppl still have credit cards and you dont need a perfect credit score to get a credit card, there are several credit cards even fro departmental stores and they even offer students these cards Its not as difficult to get these And hardly would you see a family who doesnt have at least 1 or 2

^^ The average UK family has student loans for both couple and in the US I have friends who pay as much as $1,00 per month

I expect a similar figure for the UK. And if one person works multiply that by two

Damiso, what of car notes for 2? Does that apply in the UK also?

So coogar how much does an average person pay back per month in student loan debt

Thats why I said when it comes to number crunching and the realities of life hardly would a family survive on the income of one especially for a period of up to 7yrs

Incredible Ron! Cristiano Ronaldo’s 2013 In Numbers
By sn_admin cristiano-ronaldo-gallery-pixel-images_316485

The race for Ballon D’or is in full swing and Cristiano Ronaldo seems to be leading the race. If you are wondering why; here are Cristiano Ronaldo’s amazing stats for the 2013 calendar year.

66 Ronaldo has scored an incredible 66 goals for club and country in 2013. That includes 56 goals in 46 games for Real Madrid and 10 in nine for Portugal

8 The 28-year-old is the TOP SCORER in the Champions League this season with eight goals, one ahead of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and two ahead of Lionel Messi.

1.20 Goals per game ratio for Ronaldo in 2013. And it gets better if you only look at this season. He has 31 goals in 21 appearances in 2013-14. That’s 1.48 goals per game.

16 The Portuguese is also the TOP SCORER in La Liga this season with 16 goals in 13 matches. He already has TWICE as many as Messi.

47 Ronaldo EQUALLED Pauleta’s national record of 47 goals for Portugal. The forward is closing in on Bobby Charlton and Thierry Henry’s records, but has a way to go before he catches Gerd Muller (68) and Pele (77).

5 Ronaldo has OUTSCORED the Premier League’s five biggest clubs in 2013. Liverpool (61), Man City (56), Arsenal (55), Man United (54) and Chelsea (54) have all scored fewer league goals this year than Ronaldo has scored in all competitions.

225 Since joining Real Madrid, Ronaldo has scored 225 goals in 216 games for the club. In just five years he has already become Madrid’s FIFTH HIGHEST SCORER and is closing in on Ferenc Puskas (242) in fourth.

Any trophy in 2013? Abi whats the purpose of playing

Everyone was like Portugal beat Sweden the question should be how did Portugal get themselves into playoffs in the first place in a group that has Russia, Israel, Northern ireland Azerbaijan and Luxemburg
