The FIFA World Player of the Year Award could really go two ways as Argentinian Lionel Messi and Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo divide fans.
A poll conducted by FIFA.com shows that 39.4 percent of voters would like to see the award go to FC Barcelona’s Lionel Messi, but another 39.0 percent picks Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United instead.
Brazilian Kaka (Milan) is third choice with 11.4 percent of the votes, followed by Fernando Torres and Euro 2008 MVP Xavi.
The winner of the award will be announced at a special gala in Zürich (Switzerland) on Monday.
agreed yasar. I think messi should wait till next season. let Ronaldo enjoy his year long reign.
agreed CxTrtd.
really, from what ive seen of messi, hes the best when it comes to dribblin fast, but that is all goin 4 him. hes young and (compared to ronaldo) relatively inexperianced. and he doesnt shoot from distance very much. ive seen ronaldo shoot from light years out and scored, especially the thriller in the 1/4 finals 2nd leg.
i dont know why anyone wanted to bring up this old discussion again. ronaldo has already won the award.
anyone who has supported messi, u shuld agree with me that messi shuld wait till next season. i dont care that he is young, or the worlds fastest dribbler, he needs at least another seasons worth of experiance before he can begin his reign.
brad…. this is about whos the best player of the world… not who won the award…. seriously i hate ronaldo but hes still a good player, one of the best in the world… but what messi does is just incredible….. i mena just look at barcelona, thier players with out messi are amongs the best and most creative in the world, iniesta is proabably better than ronaldo and even he is no comparison to messi…
”Messi delivers consistently while Ronaldo do not”This claim is as wrong as my stepmother.Every player has his day.Have u seen messi vs villareal,brazil at copa America,nigeria at olympics,chelsea,etc.where Messi had a bad day.4 national teams perfomance,it is gud when one is playing wit a team dat can smtimes leave lucho gonzalez,Riquelme,Zarate,M. Rodriguez,s.aguero,j.cruz out of d team.Cr7 on d other hand is their best player.Though he is supported by d inconsistent Nani and Quaresma,and temperemental Pepe at the back and Carvalho in d mix.D golden age of figo,rui costa,n.gomes,j.andrade,pauleta are over.Guys feel free 2 suggest who among d current portu.players can enter d argentine team, none cept CR7.4 dose who say dat Cr7 is a big game bottler here’s a fact Cr7 has scored against all big teams he faced cept Barca.He has scored against Inter milan,A.c milan wit a header,Roma,Sportin,Porto,Arsenal,Chelsea,Liverpool.C.has scored almost against all teams in p.league.Sori he cant do it wit crapy portugal.
carchair…. ronaldo won the award, which means he is top player worldwide.
messi does deserve the award, i mean really i dont see much difference between ronaldo and messi, its too close to call.
i know messi dribbles faster than evryone else (probably even pele) and that is excellent, but i think he shuld have another season’s worth of experiance b4 he gets my vote. right now, let King Ronaldo enjoy his reign. let Prince Messi ascend to the throne next season.
what i mean is that ronaldo proved to be better than messi, so he won the award for bein the best.
What about this season messi does he going to take the world player
Like i said, Messi should ascend to the throne next season. To me, he jes doesnt have enough experiance to earn that award.
Well, not yet anyway.
Well as i read through y’all so cald“ronaldo fansâ€Âone loser mentiond dat there is a game were barca players dived more than he has ever seen ronaldo do.thats jst crap and u knw wat? if there was a title to b won for a player who dives most,ronaldo wud take it wth no sweat.
it’s nt about xperience.it’s about who plays best.
Experiance helps u become the best player. u cant jes automatically be the best, u need to be in the professionals for a good while.
sure, messi has done that, but NOT NEARLY as long as Ronaldo has.
“Dont tread on us.”
don’T gt me wrong.ronaldo is by far “one of the best“ and well he’s quite helpful in man u achievements but dude his footbal is somehw boring.same stepovers dives al the time come on.dats totally out of footbal flair
Please dont insult messi by comparing him with ronaldo. Messi is the best. Man u has better players like tevez and rooney than ronaldo
well well… ; )
So now, can this debate end once and for all?
I think we all know who will be succeeding the World Player of the Year…
Dip, please dont insult Ronaldo by comparin him with Messi. Messi is great but still……. I think he needs a nother season behind him before he gets my vote, even if he scored in the CL final jes awhile go.
Tevez and Rooney are EQUAL to Ronaldo, even though they dont have the small flaw of divin.
I agree with CFC fan though, this debate should be terminated.

Fans…
I think this debate will be revisited in the near future…the race for Footballer of the year has just gotten more interesting…
w/ CR in La Liga to compete against Messi, there is a new challenge on the plate for both players…and up and coming players.
I think it’s too late for CR to be in the race for this upcoming award, but the competition for the next award will be very exciting to see…
I might be a little quick to assume CR is going to Real, but I guess i’m also hoping that it does happen this time…the timing is perfect.
