Cristiano Ronaldo Wins FIFA Player of the Year

Shock. Awe. Bewilderment.

A better dressed Cristiano Ronaldo accepts his award. Though a nice photo op, I have to admit I’m partial to ESPN’s selection for the story, post-jump.

  • Hmmmmm. Hands down?
    I love Zlatan but Samuel Eto'o is the best player on the planet at this minute.

    CR was a worthy winner. Other players like messi didn't have half the year CR did. Argentina's dry streak continues.

    I believe that if Inter wins the scudetto and also win champions league (or at least second place) that Zlatan Ibrahimović will be hands down next years winner.

    I feel these awards are not right, coz there are many more good players out there, who are playing for smaller teams and hence don't have the chance to shine, for example Aguero, Lavezzi, Benzema etc etc. Had these players been playing for the top teams of the world, then the winner could be different..
  • Well deserved. He really was the best in 2008. All of the recent talk of Messi's greatness is warranted but can only apply to 2009.

    So who is the best so far for 2009?

    Although I'm a Messi fan, CR deserves it!
  • OhYes
    The highlight of the show was Cristiane's hotness.

    And Pele almost busted his face on the floor. Haha
