@ shylle,

Thanks for your offer but I'm afraid I have to turn you
down. . . at least for now.

We can still work on other things related. You can reach
me through akin @ akinalabi.com

For me, they come in this order:

Cristiano Ronaldo

Lionel Messi

Francesc Fabregas

May look like a youth award, but the youth are the future,

After the Euro's I now feel its going to be C. Ronaldo since nobody was really outstanding in The Spanish team that won. It was more of a collective effort.

To me Senna was the best.

I really think C. Ronaldo this year.

C Ronaldo, my choice.

Senna had a good season with Villareal as well, too bad he didn't cap the Euros with a goal last night, would have been a fitting end for him.

But its been far and wide Divino's year, everyone else fights for second and third (Hope Cesc name is up there somewhere come December ).

GOONER 89

C.Ronaldo will win again and again

Thanx, Gaynner!!!

I told you since then too that The Euro's would play a part in picking the winner. If anyone excels at the Euro he would win ahead of Ronaldo. but since no player was head above shoulders ahead that makes it 80% chance for Ronaldo . Unless Messi does some crazy things before December.

I can't believe you typed that.

I thought you would say since Torres scored the winning goal in
the final or Schweisteger and Ballack since they outshone Ronaldo
in the quater finals.

It would have taken a Maradona display at the Euros for anyone
to stand a chance alongside Ronaldo.

And we know such displays don't come all the time. . .

The thing is that the Euros has played its part in helping ronaldo

No player was extra-ordinary during the tournament, it was more of a team work

If spain had got a talisman in their team that won, then it would have been tight

That's the advantage Ronaldo has, the spanish team was more of a team rather than Individual play

Seems u dunno these NLers . . . . .They change their positions about issues in 1 nano-sec.
Do u really think a maradona display at the Euros would have taken the awards from Ronaldo?? I don't think so.
This year belongs to him cos he has done what no player has done in recent times.

Check out all the awards he has won this year alone and tell me if Ballack(with his empty basket) could have matched that with European trophy!!
Where was the same Ballack in Moscow? Didn't he feature? What was his contribution??
Who else? Fabregas?? Arshavin?? or who??
Not even Messi can do anything before december cos no trophies will be awarded to his club/country in 2008.

There where no extremely standout players in this Euros so i think it will definitely go to Ronaldo since he won the UCL but Uefa can be funny sometimes i can remember them giving Zagorakis the Balon D'Or in 2004

Yeeeparipa!!!!! I can't beleive A-40 who is one of the respected people on this forum could make this kind of Monumental goof Zago -what You can remember? What kind of memory is that?

Zagorakis won player of the tournament just like Xavi. Shevchenko won Ballon D'Or in 2004!!!!

@dayokanu
Pardon me lol.It was accidental like you havent goofed on here before .I missed the Euros up for the Balon D'or

Okay. accepted but isnt it kind of funny that The best player for the year did not make top 23 in a tournament in the year.

Maybe he did not make the top 100 self since we dont know beyond the top 23.

Its an open secret that Ronaldo is not exactly who you should rely on when it comes crunch time,Its been a long hard season though so i am not suprised

messy

How many of the top 23 won the UCL in May 2008? Edwin Van Der Sar. . . . .
That should tell u the Euros is shyte!!!!

Euro is shyte cos Man Utd players are not in top 23. height of MYOPIA!!!!!. How many Man UTD players have ever won world cup in the last 40 years meaning world cup is shyte?

dayo kanu men,u r too much, guess u shut dat guy up 4 real, hahahahahaha

dayo kanu men,you're too much, guess u shut that guy up 4 real, hahahahahaha

sharrap!!!

the last euro winner was Greece, the new champions havent gotten to the finals in more than 40years!!!
euro is not world cup. the euro is shyte!!

@TKB,
You must always repeat whatever Jackal says. Right?

@TKB,

Bitch, shut your fucking trap!!!

Euro2008 is not the zing zing of sterling football.
The last 2 winners of the competition should tell you it has lost it's taste and tradition.
Would Greece and Spain win the world cup?? No way in HELL.
So what are u on about?? Whats the difference between England that missed the competition and Germany that played in the final??
In ma mind's eye: There's no difference. . . . . .People only reckon with WINNERS not sore losers like the NAZIS.

i'll vote for Robinho

I'll it to Andreas Iniesta,

Abeg you Scummies shouldnt sell me that bullshit so the Euros are not credible because no Man Utd player had a significant impact in it?

@Hannibal
Germany have a footballing history England can only dream of there is no point even arguing this.How far would England have gone? the quarters at best,So the Euros is now crap because all Utd players in it besides Van Der Sar had a poor tournament now thats bias of the highest level

Euros are not credible this year. . . . . The best players missed out!!!
Letz see how many players in Spain would make the UEFA awards by the end of the year.
To poofs like Dayokanu, Xavi would win best player of the year. The same Xavi Scholesy trained at OT and Camp Nou.

Bias??
When Van Der Sar, Vidic, Scholes, Ronaldo and maybe Tevez make the UEFA team of the season. . . .we would see how Euro 2008 players fare!!
Once u dont have the English players in Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool playing in Europe. . . .It has no credibility.
Imagine Lahm and Ballack making the all-star team. . . . . .Ballack didnt even make PFA team. . .what sense is in that??

Germany's in the last 20 years ave triple England's 100year in performance.

Euros are not credible cos United players are too poor to stand up

Euros are not credible this year. . . . . The best players missed out!!!

Which best players are you talking about that missed?

After watching the review of Euro 08 many times, everyone admitted the defending was appaling.
Situations which shouldn't have resulted to goals did. . . . .Iniesta, Xavi, Torres who all froze against Man Utd's henchmen all had a field day.
Michael Ballack who has been a major flop in the EPL made player of the tournament. . . It's shocking.

Whatz more. . . . Italian players who couldn't score a goal on their home soil against English clubs were all made good by Euros. . .
Pirlo was disgraced by Walcott. . . . . .Rooney took the piss on Roma players scoring both home n away.
The competition was a disgrace.

Since the defending was appalling how come the Highest goal scorer in Europe froze and couldnt beat Arne friedrich in one and half hour of football?

Michael Ballack Major Flop? When every sensible football analyst acknowledged that he was Chelseas best player in the last 6 months after his injury.

In the Champions League final, Eurosport named him man of the match.

Which Italian players were made good by the Euros. The same Italians that were hammered 3-0 by Holland?

Are we talking about the same tournament? Or are you referring to Euro 2000.

No doubt you watch football through your anus.
