    C.Ronaldo UEFA Player of the Year

    Cristiano Ronaldo named European footballer of the year 2008:

    Cristiano Ronaldo has been crowned European Footballer of the Year by France Football magazine.

    Ronaldo, 23, won the prestigious Ballon d'Or trophy after scoring 42 goals as Manchester United won the Champions League and Premier League last season.

    Barcelona forward Lionel Messi was second and Liverpool striker Fernando Torres was third.

    Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard were also in the running to succeed Kaka as Europe's top star.

    However, Ronaldo's defining role in United's Double-winning season won over the 96 journalists on the Ballon D'Or panel.


    RECENT BALLON D'OR WINNERS
    2007 Kaka
    2006 Fabio Cannavaro
    2005 Ronaldinho
    2004 Andriy Shevchenko
    2003 Pavel Nedved
    2002 Ronaldo
    2001 Michael Owen
    2000 Luis Figo

    The Portuguese international became only the fifth player to score more than 30 goals in a Premier League season as United pipped Chelsea to the domestic title.

    Ronaldo's tally of 42 goals earned him the Golden Shoe as Europe's top scorer, making him the first winger to collect that honour.

    Ronaldo's 42nd strike of an astonishing season came in Moscow as United drew 1-1 draw with Chelsea in the Champions League final. He went on to miss his spot-kick in the resulting penalty shoot-out but United still triumphed.

    The only real disappointment for Ronaldo came at Euro 2008.

    The winger was expected to be one of the stars of the tournament but he struggled to lift his side and Portugal went out in the quarter-finals.

    A summer of fevered speculation over Ronaldo's future followed after he conceded a dream move would be a switch to Spanish giants Real Madrid.

    But United dug their heels in and in October Ronaldo pledged his future to the Old Trafford club.

    Torres, meanwhile, enjoyed a phenomenal debut season in the Premier League following his big-money move from Atletico Madrid.

    The 24-year-old scored 24 goals for Liverpool, the highest by a foreign player in their maiden season, and went on to score the winner for Spain in the Euro 2008 final.

    Congrats to him and it was really really obvious that he was going to win it. Hopefully he can go back to back, but i really think this is going to be Messi's year.

    Man Utd =
    Current EPL Champions
    Current European Champions
    Current World Champions


    GLORY GLORY MAN UTD!!

        I'm surprised that Ronaldo actually thrashed 2nd place Messi, 46 points to 281

        Man Utd =
        Current EPL Champions
        Current European Champions
        Current World Champions


        GLORY GLORY MAN UTD!!

          today is a grim day for real football fans.
          today evil prevailed, and c.ronaldo was able to seduce all the homos of the world.
          this day will live in infamy next to other horrible days of football history.
          all the anti c.ronaldos of the world unite.

          i need u nypimpofpersia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                  Let's be realistic.

                  He deserves it.
                  He's a top-class player.
                  He's arguably the best in the world.

                        do u think he would get the award if he played for barca that was having a bad season.

                        no he wouldnt


                        The quality of a player has nothing to do with his team winning or not

                          No matter how much he dives or complains or dresses gay or etc. etc. all you haters say,
                          The awards, the trophies, the fact that his coach would quit if he left, just shows that he is arguably the best player in the world.
