Amen.
Ronaldo deserves the Ballon D'Or and if he doesn't get it then he'll never get his second one.
People say "Oh well Messi's been injured" and? Does that negate Ronaldo's success? It shouldn't do.
We're approaching end of November and time for Ronaldo to get as close as he can to Messi's record breaking goals scored in a year which is 86 I believe.
It does make Ronaldo's success any less but it still doesn't make him better than Messi, Messi has been the best in the world for the last 4/5 years and been leaving Ronaldo in his wake, Messi got injured and thats that so Ronaldo plays alot better, scores goal etc but it doesn't mean suddenly he is the best in the world and better than Messi.
For what it's worth I've felt Ronaldo was a better played long before Messi got injured.
I've always seen it like a Rocky v Ivan Drago situation, Ronaldo is built to succeed, you look at him and he's built like an athlete and then you look at Messi and he looks like an average guy you'd see on the street.
Ronaldo is "built to succeed". Sorry, I hugely disagree (hey, that rhymes lol).
Ronaldo prior to 2006 was a skinny dude with a light frame but look at him from 2006-7 onwards and he made himself the physical specimen that he is. He worked extremely hard physically and mentally to help re-shape his game to the phonemenal and instrumental player he became for us. It's not a case of someone making him into something he wasn't. He practised, listened and worked damn hard.
Messi, admittedly seems a nice guy (minus the tax evasion) but it's disappointing that awards given are partially judged on personalities and assumptions of people rather than what they do on the pitch. Ronaldo's not an arrogant dude as portrayed, if that was the case, he wouldn't have the support of his teams as he does.
Both fantastic players that are in a league of their own.
