Ronaldo yet

...........again. He must hate the fact that Messi exists because he would surely be, "World Player of the Year", many times in any other era?

[Duncer]

That's his second, eighteen goals in fourteen games played.

He can't be very pleased at being Portuguese either as it means he will not get anywhere near a World Cup winners medal. Mind you, neither will Messi.

[Duncer]

Nor did George Best, or any of England's "Golden Generation".

I wouldn't rule Messi out entirely as the next World Cup is on his home continent, and a South American team has always prevailed on South American soil. They at least have a fighting chance.

On the plus side though - he looks like a super model and being second best to God is not that bad
He still strives to be no 1 though as he promised his father he would
