Therefore Iker Casillas' superb performances for Spain last summer, allied to his heroics during Real Madrid's title winning season in La Liga, mean that, if there has to be a winner this year, he has as strong a claim as Ronaldo.
He is right about about Casillias been saying for ages now he should win.Ronaldo done nothing for Portgual in Euros was a ghost vs Germany when his team needed him the most.you have to go a bit over the top to make a point, but everything he says is spot on. especially....
these awards are absurd.
Hey you shut the fvck up, Henry did not win it in 2004:rollani:So basically you guys are saying that the most scoring player in the EPL and the CL isn't worth winning?
That's absurd if something...
Yeah, I would love to see David Villa win it for being a major fact that Spain won the Euros, winning a cuptitle and the most scoring striker during 2008 but in the end, Ronaldo does deserve it because he's not a striker, not at all, but still scores more goals than any other striker did during the season. 42 goals in 46 games is not shitty really...
What Ronaldo did last for his club was amazing no doubt but he failed for Portgual in the euros.And what big games last season against the big teams was he MOM in as well.There are no big performances that you can compare with in previous seasons.LikeSo basically you guys are saying that the most scoring player in the EPL and the CL isn't worth winning?

Well hello!!!!!, His name being included was a big shock, wasn't it:rollani:What Ronaldo did last for his club was amazing no doubt but he failed for Portgual in the euros.And what big games last season against the big teams was he MOM in as well.There are no big performances that you can compare with in previous seasons.Like
Kaka vs man utd 07
Henry vs Inter 03
Ronaldinho vs Madrid 05
Tell me a big game last season where his performance was on the same level as the 3 players above i mention.
Translate.This thread, and that article has occured three times in the last 6 months I'm sure of it.
The guardian did a similar one about how Casillas will get bogarted out of the Ballon d'Or, and there was a similar thread about it.Translate.
That is like saying Nedved vs Real Madrid does not count because Juve lost the final.Or Ballack vs Liverpool in 2002.Because Bayer lost the final stop talking rubbishWell hello!!!!!, His name being included was a big shock, wasn't it:rollani:
What did his performance there gain Arsenal in the Champions League? Oh that's right, feck all.
While Ronaldo's so called none MOM performances against big teams where he still scored, gained him the top scorers award for the League and Champions League, as well as winning those two competitions. But of course, what does that matter when Henry gained a MOM performance against Inter...
It is not my logic it is the way those awards went.Tell me i am wrong that those players were not the best in those seasons.You can't cos on those points i am right.That's some terrible logic you have there.
It's 3 diffferent seasons with 3 different players and you cannot apply the same rule to all 3. The Euros are not the only criteria by which a player is judged.
So if Ibisevic scores twice as many goals as the topscorer in EPL, he'll be the frontrunner for this award next year?So basically you guys are saying that the most scoring player in the EPL and the CL isn't worth winning?
Who should win it then? There was nobody who excelled in EURO2008, whose individual performance was comparable to Ronaldo in WC2002 or Cannavaro in WC2006.Reason i am saying Ronaldo should not win because if this award is based on history then Ronaldo should win it.I am sure we agree that.
Zidane was the best in 01/02.
Henry in 03/04
Ronaldinho 05/06
All 3 players were the best players in the world in those seasons and went into those events as the best in the world.But after they flopped.None of them won any awards at the end of the season.So it should be the same for Ronaldo.
Well if Ibisevic scores 84 goals next season then yes, he will be a frontrunner.So if Ibisevic scores twice as many goals as the topscorer in EPL, he'll be the frontrunner for this award next year?
