I see, he will never see reasons.

[quote author=kalvoken post=89551281]J J Okocha

Also had Jay Jay okocha in mind before I see this. Many of the skills you see today were okocha's doings. Even Ronaldiho said that. All the leg overs of Messi and cr7, all over head, all direct free kick goals, all d dribbling 5 players and sending them market, was in okocha's book, is a pity he was a black man. He would have won it like 3 times. And also a pity that at that time, Caf was Ben headed by one of Nigerian fiercest rival in football.

Quite frankly, till this day...I do not understand how Cannavaro won the 2006 award. I mean, ok Italy won the world cup, but there were more deserving players that year.

Balloon dor is for the best player in a season, all those saying Drogba, Lampard, Ibrahimovic, Arjen Robber etc, can you please tell us the season any of these players did better individually than Messi and Cr7. Don't get it twisted, Ballon dor is for the best in a season.
Like R9 won it 2002,,,, you dey watch ball so

Sneider was not even the beat in Inter, let alone the world. Iniester in that season was light years better than him. Milito and Eto were the responsible for the CL.
Same in world cup that year too, we know una wella

no doubt he was legendary, just debunking jarus claim you cant score goals alone as a striker to clinch world best.. Zlatan was only unfortunate being a Swedish with average team who don't go far in tournament but he deserves a ballon d'or

Weah played for Liberia and still won

The guy go argue you wella ooo

What are you saying? You are doing exactly the same thing. You refuse to acknowledge Ribery was robbed in 2013 because of your love for robnaldo and you want him to succumb to your opinion about 2010.you are funny ooo. If sneider was robbed in 2010 that goes same for ribbery and also Messi was robbed in 2014..because I can't remember what C. Ronaldo did at 2014 world cup. He left at the group stage at least in 2010 messi was at quarter finals and had one of the best midfield starts. Highest chances created and also was up there in assist.

Romario and Bebeto. How dare FIFA give that 94 award to Stoichkov!

Stoichkov was a menace in his days, go watch his freekicks, you will know C ronaldo na leaner. Look on YouTube for the freekick he took against Germany in 94 world cup qarterfinal for Bulgaria. Romario and Stoichkov were also teamates at Barcelona.

Ronaldo phenomenon promoted football styles that the present best players are now using.
Step over
Dribbling at speed
Beating defenders
Even Messi & CR7 have utmost respect for him.

Yea, I too watched him play at USA 94, but none can deny that Bebeto and Romario were the real stars of that tourney.

Baba forget Ronaldo biased and sentimental fans. they always try to justify why Ronaldo won 2013 without a single trophy but failed to acknowledge the fact that 2010 was a record breaking year for Messi with 91goals which happens to be the highest number of goal by any player in a calender year.
