Man, all ah we love we football, and does like players teams, coaches and countries for all different reasons. The criteria some men/women will use to judge who is a bess player or a top performer is not necessarily going to be congruent with all the criteria that others will use. Me eh care hummuch cry-baby Ronaldo win or how many goals he score. He never has been, and is not ever likely to be, in my book, the world's best footballer. The irony for me is that I actually used to "defend" cry-baby, and I disliked Messi just 3 1/2 to 3 years ago. I have seen enough now to correct the error of my clouded judgment. cronaldo is very much a part of manu's success as he benefits from it, I will grant him that. He has lots and lots of potential and was in fine form last season. However, he is not in the same class as messi. He is not in the same class as Kaka. He is not in the same class as ronaldinho. He is not in the same class as Allesandro del Pierro. He is not in the same class as Samuel Eto'o. If Alexandre Pato continues on the the path that he seems to be heading on, pretty soon, pretty-boy cry-baby won't be in his class either. He will win the title of player of the year: good for him. If jackula could practically geh way wit murder, why a nex' man cyah pick a 'lil pocket? Enjoy it while it lasts!
