Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi

Ronaldo or Cristiano Ronaldo is obviously one of the best footballers ever. He is FIFA footballer of the year 2008. The question now is whether or not he is going to be on top again this year, since the argentinian Lionel Messi is a real threat for him. Messi just won Triple winner with Barcelona, He won UEFA Champion League, Copa del Rey, and La liga.

I personally think that Ronaldo won't be the footballer of the year 2009. what do you think?

FIFA Footballer of the year 2008; Cristiano Ronaldo

FIFA.com brings you the highlights of a magical evening, most notably for Cristiano Ronaldo and Marta, who were crowned FIFA World Player and FIFA Women's World Player respectively in the grandiose surroundings of the Zurich Opera House on Monday 12 January.

The night's proceedings moved to the rhythm of the works of Georg Friedrich Handel, wonderfully performed by the Zurich Philharmonic Orchestra, while presenting duties were carried out by Swiss sports journalist Rainer Maria Salzgeber and Dutch actress and model Sylvie van der Vaart, wife of Real Madrid and Netherlands midfielder Rafael.
To get the ball rolling, the trophies set to be awarded to the 2008 FIFA World Players were tantalisingly unveiled, before clips introducing all the nominees in the two main categories were shown.

After an opening speech by FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter which recalled the biggest moments of the year just passed, the time arrived to pay homage to the outstanding performers at the FIFA competitions held in 2008. First up were the ladies, with the likes of Dzsenifer Marozsan, Taylor Vancil and Mana Iwabuchi, who starred at the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup New Zealand, as well as Sydney Leroux and Alyssa Naeher, who lit up the women's U-20 event in Chile, making an appearance alongside established stars such as Marta, Cristiane and Nadine Angerer.

Ronaldo’s badgering to leave has been reason enough for resentment, but it is his claims in a television interview during which he echoed the comments of Sepp Blatter, the Fifa president, that his situation at Old Trafford is tantamount to slavery that has most outraged the United faithful and strengthened the feeling that there is no way back for a player who scored 42 goals last season.

Cristiano Ronaldo

If Manchester United supporters seemed prepared to give Cristiano Ronaldo the benefit of the doubt as question marks surfaced at the start of the summer about the Portugal forward’s commitment to the club, such backing appeared to have all but evaporated last night as fans lost patience with a player who has gone from hero to zero in seven bewildering weeks.

Ronaldo V-Soccer

Visiting Ronaldo would have been a significant gesture from Ferguson – an act that was encouraged by Carlos Queiroz, who left his role as United assistant manager on Friday to take charge of Portugal. Two summers ago, when Ronaldo was again making eyes at Real while fearing the fallout from his involvement in Wayne Rooney’s red card for England against Portugal in the World Cup quarter-final, Ferguson succeeded in persuading him to return to Old Trafford, but there will be no such meeting this time unless the Scot can somehow find time to fly to Lisbon tomorrow before departing for South Africa the following day for the start of United’s preseason tour.

Ronaldo!: 21 Years of Genius and 90 Minutes That Shook the World

Ever since the final whistle of the World Cup final I have had a big unanswered question. Why did the world's best player in the world's best team play so badly in the one game, the most important game, of his life so far, giving one of the world's worst performances in front of the world's biggest ever event audience of 2 billion. Months before the world cup the papers were full of Ronaldo. How Ronaldo would score more goals than ever seen before. How this would be his world cup like Pele's 1970, Kempes' 1978, Rossi's 1982, Maradona's 1986, and Romario's 1994. TV Programmes showed endless clips of his sublime skills, his genius. Months after the tragedy that was France '98. No credible explanation has appeared until now!! Clarkson's book to answer the question of what happened on that fateful day in Paris.He gives a complete picture of what makes up the man - Ronaldo. Clarkson delves into Ronaldo's childhood, giving an account of the early flashes of brilliance, his love of the game, his disappointments, the influence of his family and even his lack of confidence with girls. Then he takes us through Ronaldo's early career in a lowly 2nd division Brazillian League team. Then the breakthrough and subsequent move to Europe followed by stardom and megabucks. Then we are told of the trials and tribulations of his life in Europe. The immense build up to the World cup and the account of what actually happened to Ronaldo's Brazil. I must confess I did not let the book go until i had read in from cover to cover. Clarkson has a lovely smooth flowingly style of writing which captures the essence of the story. After reading the book I felt i had understood one of the most intriguing mysteries of footballing history.

Ronaldinho: Football's Flamboyant Maestro

Ronaldinho's is a classic rags-to-riches tale of an outrageously talented boy from the Brazilian back streets who, despite his humble origins, conquers the soccer world. Ronaldinho's early years were hard, coping with a family tragedy at a tender age before making his name as the star of local team Gremio, whose youth club he joined when he was just six. His decision in 2001 to leave familiar ground and transfer to Paris St. Germain proved controversial and unpopular locally, with those same Gremio fans who had hero-worshipped him now turning against him. Ronaldinho's time in France yielded little success on the pitch and turned a spotlight on his personal life, provoking accusations of a rather too rampant nightlife. Yet, Ronaldinho has always thrived in the yellow shirt of the national team, playing a key role in Brazil's 2002 World Cup victory. When he switched to Barcelona in 2003, the club was in crisis; but his dazzling and inspiring play helped guide the Catalans to the league title, with the Champions League the next target. Ronaldinho's style of play is spectacular, combining dazzling dribbles with audacious strikes at goal, but as this inspiring and meticulously researched book shows, he always plays with a smile and handles himself with modesty. It is not surprising that this unique combination of skill, charm, and generosity has conquered the hearts of soccer fans the world over—who will welcome the publication of this definitive biography and the full story of Ronaldinho's World Cup appearances.

Cristiano Ronaldo: The True Story of the Greatest Footballer on Earth

Cristiano Ronaldo was born in Madeira in 1985 and his passion for soccer began when he was just three years old. His favorite boyhood team was SL Benfica even though he was to later play for their arch rivals, Sporting. By the age of 10 Ronaldo's reputation was growing in Portugal. He had been competing in an amateur team for two years but now two of Madeira's top clubs, CS Maritimo and CD Nacional, were interested in signing him—he signed with the latter for an undisclosed sum. Ronaldo's performances at the UEFA Under 17 Championship was to catapult him into the global arena where he was spotted by former Liverpool F.C manager, Gerard Houllier. At only 16 Liverpool decided he was too young and needed more time to develop into a top soccer player. Two years later he was to catch the eye of Sir Alex Ferguson when Sporting beat Manchester United 3-1. Ronaldo was signed for a fee of GBP 12.24 million. Ronaldo was handed the number 7 shirt on his arrival at Manchester United, a shirt number that has belonged to some of the greatest Manchester United Legends like George Best, Bryan Robson, Erin Cantina, and David Beckham. But Cristiano Ronaldo has unquestionably lived up the expectations of the number 7 shirt and has become one of the world's greatest players of all time.

Cristiano Ronaldo to submit transfer request, He is so far the best in Euro 2008

Cristiano ronaldo has significantly contributed to the success of Portugal in Euro 2008.

Cristiano Ronaldo has confided to friends that he is prepared to do “whatever it takes” to engineer a transfer to Real Madrid this summer. Manchester United maintain that they will not sell their most prized asset under any circumstances, but Ronaldo is dismissive of his club's views and regards his planned world-record transfer to Real as an inevitability.

Ronaldo appeared almost ambivalent about his future when, in a statement on June 4, he suggested that he would be happy to stay at United if no fee was agreed with Real, but the depth of his determination to leave Old Trafford is now becoming clear.

A source close to the player said last night that he had made clear he would do everything in his power to persuade United to sell. That could mean anything from submitting a formal transfer request to refusing to report for pre-season training, but his next step will be to issue a further statement, outlining his intentions, as soon as Portugal's participation in the European Championship finals is over.

The end of the tournament a week on Sunday - or Portugal's elimination, if that happens first - will trigger an escalation in the battle for Ronaldo, with Real planning to make a formal offer of about £60million.

That's a big amount of money, but it's worth it.

Ronaldo is the sexiest footballer in Euro 2008;

His performance on the pitch is undoubtedly impressive, but Cristiano Ronaldo can now add another accolade to his list of achievements.

The Portuguese striker has scored a goal with European women, who voted him the sexiest player of the current Euro 2008 tournament.

German website Spiegel Online reported that the 23-year-old Manchester United star topped the poll of 12,000 women, which was conducted on behalf of electronics company LG.
