Soccer: Ronaldo named Fifa player of the year 2008

[Colonel Ronan]

Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the Fifa World Player of the Year for 2008.

The Portugal and Manchester United winger becomes the first Premier League player to win the award.
Ronaldo, 23, beat AC Milan's Kaka, Liverpool's Fernando Torres and Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Xavi to the prestigious title.

"It's an overwhelming moment in my career and I'd like to dedicate this award to my family, friends and colleagues," said the United star.

His 42 goals for Manchester United last season helped the Old Trafford club clinch the Premier League and Champions League double.

Ronaldo, who also picked up the European Player of the Year crown in December and the FifPro World Footballer of the Year honour in October, paid special tribute to United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

He deserves it all the way...

I dont even know why Messi and co. are being debated when Ronaldo had the best season and won everything important LOL

However, i think Messi will win everything in 2009 - 2010 hahaha

He'll win it next year with Real Madrid.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

Well some people were skeptical because at the start of the 08/09 season, Ronaldo was injured and Messi was still playing superbly. Ronaldo deserved it though.

 

[Claud]

Messi wins it in 2009. But well deserved for CR7.
