Rooney should have won best goal in my opinion.

God knows how Neymar won it...I think my dad could score a goal like that in his league.

It's not like anybody else was going to step up, lol.
KingPin  +   135d ago
yeah right.

CR7 scored just as many goals almost individually <i say individually coz lets face it, Real Madrid aren't as tight of a unit as Barca> and if that doesn't say great player, than messi isn't great either.

but lets not argue. for me it will be like trying to put a block into a round hole.

Too true, haha! But yeah, what is the point of having these awards anyway if Messi always takes it? Oh well. Rooney and Vidic represented United!

Lol I like Ronaldo didn't even bother showing up. Was well deserved this year however I still think Xavi should have won it last year.

messi has loads of time to win Ballon d'Ors, they should have given it to xavi one of the greatest midfielders of his generation.

I think other than being bad losers, Mou didn't like that 3-2 match against malaga, the team was punished for their awful performance. Members from RM that were supposed to be there; Iker, Ramos, Xavi alonso, along with CR7 and Mou didn't go.

That and lets face it, It was clear who was going to win the damn thing.

Personally I think Xavi deserves it just as much, amazing mid fielder. One can only hope to have some one close to his caliber to play for RM in the future.

Actually no, It's probably to do with them having a match tonight and preparing for it.

I would of thought Robin Van Persie would of been in this XI instead of Rooney, he has had a sensational year!
FlashXIII  +   135d ago
Too injury prone to be recognised sadly. If he keeps up the same form this year, he'll definitely get a spot next year.

Messi deserves it this year but not last year! Congrats Messi!
