Breaking news on Sky Sports News.

Ronaldo second, Messi Third.

I thought that was for the world player those 3 were shortlisted for.

Anyway, suprised as I thought Messi would win it.

Probably both mate. Obviously would of been happier if Ronnie had won it, but Kaka's performances in the champions league make him a worthy winner.

It is the World Footballer of the Year SSN just showing how up to date they are.

Fair £#%&!s. For me, Messi is currently the world's best though.

Ah well..

2 games against a makeshift United defence>>>a whole season of real consistency and guiding United to the premier league title.

ah, so Kaka by some distance.

I thought Messi would win it anyway.

Why? He had quite a few injuries last season, and took some time recovering from it as we saw in his performances against the Murderers.

If Barca win something big and he stays fit then surely he will win it next year.

I dont care anyway, and im sure Ronaldo feels that the team winnnig stuff is more important than personal honours no matter how much he deserved this.

I wanted him to get it because he deserved it but im not really gonna bother with pointing out the several reasons for why he deserved to win it ahead of Kaka because people are blinded by 2 games against a makeshift United defence and him playing for a cowardly small time club who only competed on one front.

You can see which journalists voted for who

Milan small time club?

Could it be that Winter put Maldini because he ridiculously hasn't ever won it?

How can you think Messi would win it? He was injured at the start of the year and as soon as he came back he was knocked out of the CL. So playing 1 game in the latter stages of the Champions league isn't great for your corner, added to that not winning a trophy and only scoring 8 goals in the year.

Or were you just plumping for a random player?

Milan a small time club ffs. This was Kaka's year, Ronaldo and Messi will both win it in their careers.

He still managed 36 appearances and 17 goals last season

It's not based soley on champions league though.

FC BARCELONE. Argentin. 20 ans, 26 sélections, 8 buts.

It's this calender year.

Oh, well that's a bit gay.

notice how Ronaldo is only the second Portugese player to even be featured in the top 3.

Hardly a footballing supernation eh Legendary? I put them on the same peddlestool as Uruguay, but without winning a world cup.
