I hate Messi cheater,
But I think he will be chosen because he plays very well for his club and international team ,
1 - Messi
2 - KAKA
3- Ronaldo , I believe Ronaldo should not be nominated. he is a very ordinary player.

BC , I asnwered first then read your article ,
I think you have never watched Argentina international game this year, How do you think Messi is not good in interantiola team games :)) he is always scoring.

but you are right, Drogba could be there instead of Ronaldo.

by the way , why did you put these three names ?
10 players are nominated ,
ooh my god Birmnigham just scored third goal versus Totenham, EPL is very strang this season :)) such a great strike.

anyway,
these 10 players are nominated
KAKA
Ronaldo
Messi
Drogba
Fabregas
Zalatan
Robinho
Pirlo
Toti
Nistelroy

Maysam

To call C.Ronaldo as an ordinary player is little too much. He is a very skillful player but not very intelligent. End of the day, we are measuring their capabilities by their contribution. How else do you think Cannavaro got the award last year? He won the world cup and he was the FIFA player of the year.

Playing very well for the club/country (still I dont think he’s been great for Argentina on the whole) may not be enough Maysam. For these awards, they should have contributed to some major achievements. I don’t see any trophy or league won by Messi’s team, him being the biggest contributor. No.

He is currently in his best form and if he is able to inspire Barca to win a trophy by converting his form into more match winning performances, may be he can be in the running for 2008 awards.

And these three players are the shortlisted players for the award.

There are and were many players like Ronaldo , even better
Duff,
Robben,
Ribery ,
Rotten,
Robinho ,
Van Vart,
Mancini,

Ronaldo got big and bigger just becasue of Media, like Beckham. If Ribery did not have that ugly scare on his face, He would be as big as Ronaldo right now.

the picture says it all!!! kaka all the way…. let the playboy not take the glory!!

as much as i hate ronaldo, i have to say it will be him. he deserves it 100 percent based on his performances.

reply to #1-
ronaldo ordinary?!?! he is definitely the best player in the world at the moment. his individual skill lets him beat defenders with ease, he can also assist many skillfull passes and very creative. how can u call him ordinary?!

blueboy , there are many players who beat defenders , Robinho , … I wrote their names. Ronaldo is not as big as you guys think .
Assisst , look at gerrard this season. scoring, look at Drogba.

he may be choosen but to me he is not the best.

1.KAKA
2.RONALDO
3.MESSI

Drogs is the best , whatever they say , without him…. we would be in dire straits, even Avram would find it too much, he is the saviour of AG, RA and our hero…..

Long Live King Drogba !

save my soul from the sword…my love from the power of the drog!…. didder all the wayy

Didier should win it! He scored 33 goals for Chelsea last season & was the highest goalscorer in the Primiership. He also played brilliantly for his country Ivory Coast throughout the year. Robinho, for his role in the latter part of last year when Real Madrid won La Liga, and for his contribution at Brazil’s triumph at Copa America, and his fantastic start at La Liga & Champions League this year should be 2nd. Kaka should be 3rd for his role in Milan’s Champions League triumph, but he did not play in Copa America. It should between Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Kaka for the 3rd position.

No idea how the filthy cheats C**t Ronaldo & Argie w*nker Messy got nominated! Shocking….

1. DROGBA
2. ROBINHO
3. KAKA

Maysam:

Who DESERVES to be the Fifa player of the year?

Christiano Ronaldo

FA Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup contributions there can only be one winner and Cristiano Ronaldo deserves this award hands down.

As for Chritiano Ronaldo being an ordinary player, I disagree with you because I have seen those Nike commercials and other bits of footage of what this man is capable of and it leaves me breathless!

My list:

1 C. Ronaldo
2 L. Messi
3 Kaka

Is it other football players that are voting for FIFA player of the year? Then kaka will win. He’s on a different planet in terms of contribution and skill (not talking about the predictable feints and step overs you get from Ronaldo) in play making and his great vision on the pitch.

I like messi to be chosen but KaKa will be chosen.

messi has achieved nothing to win the award. he is a bloody good player but awards are not given for that reason. messi should not have been in the top 3 in the first place.

how much ever i hate him, it is ronaldo for me,

all of them are great players…cristiano ronaldo is skilful and intelligent….messi is fast and have gd touches…kaka is calm and composed….drogba gd finisher…but too bad the award can be given to only one person….no matter wat u guys think…Kaka is the winner….i love all these players…they are wonderful…makes football exciting.maybe the main reason y kaka won is becuz he help acmilan win the champions league…he almost singlehandedly beat man u…

I also believe that Kaka will win.

It is Kaka by a long margin. Messi is good but not transcendently so at this point. C. Ronaldo is a great player but is not even the best in his own league. Kaka, on the other hand, is brilliant in every facet of play and in every competition. No question he is the better of the two. All one has to do to see that is look at the UEFA game last year when Kaka simply took over and Ronaldo again failed to appear on the stage.

Also, voting for Ronaldo based on Nike commercials is a bit foolhardy don’t you think? There are probably a good number of us on this site who can juggle or perform some of the tricks in a manner reminiscent of him. Don’t base a players worth on the show he can give you.

Oh my God!
Who is Ronaldo for the God’s sake?
Of course the best player is Kaka.
Milan does not perform in LaL,ga simply because they don’t care about it, all they want is to beat Real Madrid’s Champions’ League record.

Ooops, ? meant “Milan doesn’t perform in Serie A”

kaka is a good player but does not deserve the award this year. it must be ronaldo. kaka is a FLOP in this season’s serie a and also a FLOP with Brazil.

mid_dec - what you said is one of the most ridiculous statements i’ve read. you mean to say milan will let inter win the serie a year after year, until they match the champions league count of real madrid? what a lame fecking excuse? milan in serie a this season are complete bollocks and kaka could do nothing about it. kaka could not resurrect the falling milan.

kaka does NOT deserve this award. it should be cristiano ronaldo, none else.

obviously castor the ppl who r givin out the award agree with us, hence Kaka has been chosen , what did Ronaldo do?? he is complete flop in the CL, he is only average for his country, the only place he plays well is in the EPL, do u even know football??? how dare u make comments like…..’Kaka is a flop with Brazil’?? hav u ever even seen international matches?? he has won everything offered in football, serie a, supercopa, world cup, copa america and now the CL, and he has been the star everytime!!
First go and learn some football and then make such comments!!

kaka is a flop for brazil. did kaka win all those trophies this year? this year he lost world cup, copa america and poor serie a this season. and also the trophies he has won, he was not the no.1 contributor. in 2007, c.ronaldo > kaka.

oh so u mean Kaka has to win every trophy every year to prove he is greatest?? then what has ur beloved Cronaldo won?? jst one EPL!!! ohhhhh…..hw sad………nw where does that rate him??

joeblue try making some sense. this one is not a lifetime achievement award. this is for year 2007. get it in your head :-)

Hey, joeblue, dude how are you doing? Sorry, I was absent for a long time, as usual.

Kaka is much better than Ronaldo as a player and as a human being.

oh so u forgot Milan won the CL in 2007, remember………??? and Kaka was the reason behind it all, rings a bell?? guess not!!
oh and hey MD, long long time , no see?? hw r u?? wats been goin on???
and yeah its too difficult to prove that the diving freak who scores half his goals from penalties is no match for the supremely talented and god gifted Kaka, and as far as being a human being is conserned there is no match for him in the whole sports industry………….

First up, this is not a nobel peace prize or something. Forget about their personal side. I think Kaka got te ‘player of the tournament’ for the 07 CL. So he got his due. he can’t win the player of the year award by just playing well in one tournament. Look at Milan in Serie A now!!! What is Kaka doing to help Milan improve in Serie A???

Kaka
1. Kaka played superbly well as Milan won the CL 07-08 (about 10 matches?)
2. Kaka uninspiring as Milan was crap in the last Serie A season (38 matches, he played in most)
3. Kaka is still not shining as Milan is crap in this Serie A season so far (10 matches so far)
4. Kaka could not do much as Brazil was crap and knocked out in the world cup.
5. When his country wanted him, Kaka opted out of Copa America (did not play a single match) but still Brazil went on to win lol

Cristiano Ronaldo
1. Ronaldo played superbly well as Man Utd won the Premiership (38 matches, he played in most)
2. Ronaldo is still sizzling as Man Utd is No.2 with three points off.
3. Ronaldo inspired Portugal to reach the world cup quarters
4. Ronaldo almost on his own took Portugal to Euro 2008
5. Ronaldo played well as Man Utd lost in semi finals (only fatigue was the difference between milan and man utd)

Now, tell me who should win the FIFA player of the year. Leave your biases aside.

Guys, you’ve been following the discussion between me and joeblue on this topic. what do you guys think?

well joeblue . . you can respond to the above post from me

Kevin you are way off it here.

1. Kaka was brilliant in Serie A in 2007. He is not the reason that Milan did poorly. I would challenge you to go back and find a game in which he was anything other than fantastic.

2. Ronaldo has not been “sizzling” this year. He was, by his own admission, poor to begin the year and is only just rounding into form.

3. The World Cup argument is also rather weak. Ronaldo played well but histeam was eliminated by the same side that eliminate Kaka’s and by the same score. Had Brazil drawn England you can bet that they would have been through as well.

4. Portugal is a loaded side. To say that Ronaldo took them “on his own” to Euro 2008 is fanboyish at best and idiotic in the extreme.

5. Ronaldo was horrid in the CL. His scoring rate was less than a third of what it was in EPL play and he completely folded when his team needed him most. Kaka destroyed Man U in the semis and Ronaldo was unable to do anything to get his side back in it. Saying it was fatigue is absurd. Man U was outplayed in every way imaginable.

6. Ronaldo has a worldwied reputation as a diver and a choker. In the FA Cup Final he dissappeared, against France he was MIA and against Milan he may as well have not played. Simply put, he isn’t there yet.

7. You are the one with the obvious bias. M_D and JoeBlue are mostly impartial Chelsea supporters who are just describing what they see. You come across, rightly or not, as one of the millions who sees Ronaldo make a few flashy moves and misses the greater substance of the game. Right now, and last year, Kaka is the superior player. I think so, the guys you are arguing with think so and the rest of the world thinks so.

1. Kaka was not brilliant in the last serie A and not brilliant in this serie A too. It shows how much serie A you watch. I’m sorry. He is scoring goals and all that but does not inspire milan to achieve anything in serie a. fifa award is about the contribution and value to the team and team’s achievements.

2. Ronaldo is sizzling. What do you expect, Ronaldo to come out and say “I’m sizzling”. Pele once said called himself a normal player. Now Pele is a normal player?

3. Very weak argument from you. Brazil did not progress but Portugal did. Simple as that. Had they, if they, whether they . . . poor arguments. Talk about what happened and not what would have happened. Brazil got Ghana in the quarters while Portugal got Netherlands. What do you have to say for that?

4. What do you mean by loaded? Are Portugal more loaded than Brazil??? Talks some sense mate. It’s now bordering on the idiocy. Brazil played copa america without Kaka and still won it beating argentina in the final.

5. In the last UCL, he played 11 games and scored 3 goals and assisted 5. Is this horrible?? Something wrong with vocabulary!

6. Of course he didnt play well in certain matches but he played a long season and any player is bound to get some off matches you know, that is if you know football.

So what if he has a reputation. again, so what? has he been banned by FA or UEFA not to play anymore? childish arguments . . chelsea fans have a worldwide reputation of being glory hunters and bandwagoners who jumped in once the money was pumped in by roman. so what are you going to say about this worldwide reputation?

Talking about cheating, Milan are one of the worst cheaters in football.
We all know milan was punished for match fixing. That was not an allegation, they were found guilty and punished by Italian football federation. how can you be sure that kaka’s serie a goals were genuine goals? all bloody match fixings. you send the money bag and the keeper lets in a kaka scorcher!!!

7. Joeblue and M_D impartial??? Now I get a doubt, is bluewinner the same as joeblue??? no other soul in this blog is gonna call joeblue and M_D as unbiased. they are ones most biased like hell. let me not go any further about them or i’ll get banned.

Kevin matey - I’m with you.

And finally, GET THIS FREAKING THING IN YOUR HEAD. THIS IS ‘FIFA PLAYER OF THE YEAR’ award and not ‘THE BEST PLAYER AWARD’. Kaka is better than Ronaldo but in this year 2007, Ronaldo was better than Kaka. Period.

wow good arguments. i’d go with kevin and crew. very good footballing knowledge and analysis, esp kevin (unfortunately not a blue . .)

very well said guys. i hate the wanker ronaldo but he deserves the award this year more than kaka. messi in the list is truly a joke.

very well said kevin and crew. completely agree.

Ah, I hate arguments like this. Back and forth we go with no end in sight. Yes, I bloody watch Serie A every matchday. Yes, I think Kaka is a tremendous talent. Yes, he is better than Cristiano Ronaldo. I think that and so do the good people at FIFA. So we can keep going at this like silly buggers or we can just agree to disagree. Can we leave it that they are two of the best in the world?

Bluewinner - I agree that these arguments won’t stop. So, let’s end the discussion with our respective opinions. That’s a very mature finish. I don’t see many people like you on the blog. Cheers mate.

But if joeblue wants to have a discussion/argument, I’m ready. joeblue?

here goes……………….

1.Ronaldo is nthn bt crap when he plays in the CL, yes the competiton that has the highest reputation, playing against the best teams……….. well show pony Ronaldo has been a piece of s@#$, while Kaka has been decimating teams, especially in the biggest game for both teams agnst each other, lol ur lovely Ronaldo was nowhere to be seen……….how must that have felt u guys??? ur idol cheat being overshadowed and shoven out of sight in front of regal class??

2.In the EPL, esp last season every team feared Ronaldo cuz he wld get in the box and jump around and get penalties(thats how he scores the majority of his goals), while teams facing Kaka feared his amaizing vision which used to cut teams into two…………..

3.Ronaldo has done nothing like ‘almost took portugal to euros on his own’, which is a the funniest comment till now, no player is bigger than the team , not even Kaka, let alone this trickster drama boy Ronaldo………lol

last season Ronaldo feigned in the box against Boro, later Southgate came close to abusing him, he won a penalty against Spurs when the score was 0-0, he dived and won Manu the much needed points, and these were not one off incidents he repeated them again and again, and mind u these dives r the reason Manu r champs not us(if we look at the points), last year at the world cup he scored jst once and was part of controversy wether it was the dreadful match against Netherlands where both teams where having a battle not a football match and then he got his ‘good friend’ Rooney sent off, winking away……this season he has already got a red card for headbutting Hughes, while also being part of sex contoversies, imagine SAF’s shock when he came to know that the boys Ronaldo took under him(Nani and Anderson) where first introduced to strippers……….lol, or maybe these two hav seen his funny side when he mentioned he is delighted to wear the no.7 like Bobby Charlton….wow, no surprise there is nothing under those locks of his…..

is this the sort of man who deserves to stand up there and recieve the most prestigious award?? not for me, bt for any football fan it wld be a shame and a disgrace , guess u guys or maybe gals, shld love him no end to be still so crazy on him………….

and crew that wld be the day of ur dreams when i wld hav to come under a guise for a flea like u…………..

‘off matches’, ur right the matches when he has to perform against big teams are the only ones he gets tired, or has an off day right crew??? the more i read ur coments the lesser ur stature decreases to in my eyes(if u can get smaller than a flea that is), look at Portugal, the sides they play for qualification, have u ever seen international football?? Kazhakhastan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Finland teams who stand nowhere near Portugal, and the only competition were Serbia and Poland teams which can be called avg at best(no offence to any country), so what r u imagining??? ur pretty boy was the knight in shining armor?? taking a 3rd world country to the Euros singlehandedly??
Have u heard of players like Simao, Petit, Quaresma, Carvalho,Miguel, Ricardo, Maniche, Andrade, Ferreira, Valente, Costinha, Pepe etc not quite c grade players acc to me, all of them play in some of the best clubs in the world, bt still ur show pony did it all by himself??? pls learn football first…………….

oh and maybe Milan fixed the CL, the internationals, the matches at Sao poulo(where he played before joining them) so that a certain pretty boy shld not be called better than him……..brilliant reasoning…………..

this is not nobel peace prize, this is player of the year. if only CL matters Steven gerrard must have got it in 2005, did he? joeblue . . your zero football knowledge is exposed. btw . . milan are proven match-fixing cheaters.

my goodness, do u even know that these players r worshipped by kids from all over the world??? and the players who win the biggest awards become the idols of thousands of aspiring youngsters, the player who is crowned as the best , shld be the example and ideal one for all of them, a player who is dedicated, hard working, talented, wins trophies and is still humble, this is the spirit of football, u wldnt understand……..srry to ask so much of u!!!
u know nothing about football, yes ppl like u love managers who jst get trophies so they can boast all day long and like players who r arrogant, cheats, divers, convicts, playboys in short ppl like u only care abt those who r in the media spotlight for no rhyme or reason, thank u for showing all of us what ur thoughts r exactly abt football!!

Messi is much more better than Ronaldo and he absolutely gonna win it next year. This year’s FIFA best player of the year goes to Kaka.

it jst dosent take the CL, it takes a cumulative of……….

1.internationals…………..which Kaka has been so amazing at, scores whenever there is a need, creates something out of nothing, already being tipped as the next captain by many, and why not , thats how captains , leaders and champions shld be like
2.league and cups…………..Milan wld hav been nowhere in the top 4 after those points deduction and the dreadful form of most of the other players had it not been for Kaka, Seedorf and Inzaghi
3.Champions League……………need i say anything??
4.Most of all the player should show all the characteristics of a top class professional, humbleness, dedication, mental strength, reactions under pressure, performances when needed, consistency, focus, determination, passion, hunger and most of all the respect and love for the sport and playing it in its true spirit!!!

So after deducing ur playboy to rubble, i wld like to move on and discuss something related to Chelsea, and our football, though i wld forever dream of having Kaka in it sooner or latr, but u cant have everything……………….unless u r Kaka…………….

lot of you guys don’t follow serie a at all. that’s very clear. you guys simply go by what’s written in the papers and magazines, and also what the so called experts say (of course the papers, magazines and experts get paid handsomely!). kaka has been s*** in internationals and serie a matches. as someone who’s watching all milan and juve matches for the whole 90 minutes, i know what i’m talking about.

and again, some of you guys don’t understand english at all or are very foolish. this prize is for the player of this year and it is not for the best player. kaka is a better player than cronaldo but in this year 2007, cronaldo is better than kaka.

jeoblue . . if u say kaka is more noble and he is a better example for kids etc, then we should not allow Milan to play football at all, because what is AC Milan teaching the kids - to cheat and to fix matches, win by illegal means?? if kaka is so conscientious, he must have quit AC Milan once they were found guilty.

we all know AC Milan fixed matches, bribed referees and all that. what happens to the goals scored by kaka etc in those matches? they retain those goals in their record!!also one of the greatest ever footballer, diego maradona, was a notorious character but still won the world player of the year award. he is still regarded as the player of the century ahead of pele.

I really had a laugh reading some of the earlier comments about ronaldo being average.wat a load of BS!anyway i feel it should be ronaldo(obviously!).he has been superb.more than kaka and is being judged on two games.that is the truth.kakas AC milan havent won a home game in serie a for God knows how long and these games are week in week out unlike the champions league.ronaldo on the other hand is top scorer in the league(oh wait adebayor scored).he is heading for top scorer then(derby this weekend!)and he has missed 4 games! Wat if he didnt?he is the joint top scorer in the champions league this year.supposedly he has been terrible in that too?as a take of my rose tinted glasses I see what will happen.kaka will win the award!but if anyone is to get the award ahead of ronaldo.its kaka.he is a marvelous player.i really hope anderson will follow in is footsteps.dam those rose tinted glasses!

its plain ands simple..

1..Kaka
2..C Ronaldo
3..Messi..

anyone want to bet other wise???/
