Who will be, the best soccer player in 2008/09? Everyone have several shots like Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, Kaka pheraps...
I think will be Cristiano Ronaldo, but my opinion could be a little obvious...because i'm Portuguese..
But what do you think?

Yeah I'm pretty sure C. Ronaldo will win the Balon Dor' and/or Fifa world player of the year award.

But to be honest, I think Casillas (GK of Real Madrid and Spain) deserves the Balon Dor' because he was great in Euro 2008 and did well in La Liga by winning the Zamora.

I really hate Messi
:bnghd:

Do you know what? I hate him too.. lol but i don´t know why...

Not to go off-topic Ivo but, did you play Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 yet?

I just got it yesterday.. they've really made it weird this time lol

Nooo I would like to play it... but i just have my old playstation 2 and also my old PES8... Is it sad hein? ...:w:

You should really get a PS3 dude, they are more affordable these days and almost everyone I know has it.

Pro Evo 2009 is much better than the crap they put out last year. They finally licensed Man UTD, Liverpool and Champions League.

100% Cristiano Ronaldo.
No one line, just succint

Well, We were right! He won! lol

I know I`m not answering your question, but to me there is only one player that has remained unsurpassed.

Diego Armando Maradona.

I wish there was someone like him in 2008/2009

kaka , messi and ibrahimovic
C.Ronaldo sucks

I think will be Cristiano Ronaldo,

Yes, I would agree with that. I believe it will be Ronaldo, cause he is the best footballer as it is anyway! I highly doubt it would be Kaka though, although I am a fan.

How long have you been a madridista? Since the most overrated player of all time and diving extradonaire came to town? Kaka was great two seasons ago and prior to that but the knee injuries and professional fouls that most if not all teams pulled on him over the past few seasons have wrecked him. I only give him a few more years at the most. Last season he won us a few games by doing his usual byline dive in the penalty box but beyond that he didn't do much.

Also Ronaldo is a #. Most people look at his pretty little crossovers and proclaim him as the best player in the world. Really? has football really gone down that low? Yes he is fast, has a great kick and is pretty to watch but he is still a #. Considering United and Chelski outsource their relations to either the US or Africa / Asia eh I won't go there. No offense but it pisses me off. Now that they are both in Madrid god knows how many billions they made off kit sales and merchandise, all of the Untied fanboys have switched teams. Sir Alex did the right thing though. I won't worry though because they still can't beat Barcelona.

I agree with C. Ronaldo, but even though he is a great player, no doubt, I still think he doesnt have the love for the game as many of the great players like Pele and Maradona had. I think he plays mainly for the money. But thats just mean.

"If you're not a Manc, you're a wank" I love that line!
