A World Cup without Cristiano Ronaldo?

A World Cup without Ronaldo?

Since the award began in 1991, it is perhaps surprising that a reigning Fifa World Player of the Year is yet to match his personal triumph with the crowning glory of a World Cup winner's medal.

Some, though, have come awfully close and in doing so recorded some of the defining moments of the tournament's recent history.

Who could forget Roberto Baggio's forlorn figure in the 1994 final when he handed victory to Brazil by sending his deciding penalty skywards?
