To be honest i am not a Rooney fan. Rooney was made out to be the next best thing in typical British fashion, i feel sad that they are doing it to Theo Walcot now.

It has made Rooney probably the most overrated striker in the EPL. Im sure that with Berba there he will get better, but he needs to learn to play his role. I think that is the most important thing. There has been too many occasions where u see Rooney tracking back to defend, and people wonder why he scores so little goals. Its cos he is defending.

How right you are..Looserfool fans would rather argue the that Messi is better than Ronaldo (cant stand the Fact that we have a World Player of the Year). they don't even mention Torres:p

I am not a Liverpool fan.

Fact: Ronaldo is the first player from the EPL to win a fifa world player of the year award.

Serie a and La Liga has had these players for the past decades! So dont feel too proud there ;)

@ dbecks - welcome to the forum. The meaning of forum is to share views and opinons. Thats the beauty of it. So please share your views, i will disagree with you if i dont share the same view. Thats what a forum is about isnt it?

So dont act like the rest of the bandwagon crew here and start insulting users, also the trend with Untied supporters here is that if you dont agree with them they will report u to admin :D

Enjoy the forum.
Thank you for the welcome
Its one thing to share views - but at least get your facts straight, before acting too smart (not you but I think Supasta's post on Messi v Ronaldo was really silly cause he got it all wrong claiming that Barca won the Double before Messi came 2nd for World Player).

That is exactly why we should feel proud (especially him being a United player:D)

Messi came 2nd for the award in 2007
Barca won the double in the 2006 season.

Okay, let me explain s l o w l y...

Barca won it in the 2005-2006

Milan won it in the 2006-2007 (Messi was second in this season, not the above, which is when they won it)

2006-2007 is a different season to 2005-2006

Messi (never won the CL in 2006-2007, which is the season where he came second for the award)

Barca won it in 2005-2006 (Messi was not in the top three for that seasons awards - Ronaldinho won it)

Messi came second to K A K A in 2007 (when Milan won in the 2006-2007 season)

Phew!!I think that should help clear things up...I hope:confused:

Lets stop debating about seasons about awards.

@ Supasta and dbecks

Start chatting about something better than when someone won an award.

When you start watching football...
The award has nothing to do with a "season" in football league terms, its related to the time between the award.So barca's double would have still reflected in the 2007 award.

No supa and i are correct. Messi won it in 2007! I can tell you are getting confused because of the seasons.

Barca won it in the year 2006 aka 2005/2006 - The award is given the following year = 2007

So in 2007 - K*aka won it and Messi came second.

Another example to help you in your confused state:

Ronaldo is going to take the award home in 2009

He perfomed in the 2007/2008 season - so he will get his award the following year which is in 2009.
Okay now you are scaring me:eek:...but nevertheless let me try and explain even more Sloooooowly

Yes Barca won it in the year 2006 (the final was played then) aka season 2005/2006 - you are right..but where you are wrong is the date of when the award is given...The award for the 2005-2006 season is given in 2006

Ronaldo will receive it in December 2008 - making him World Player of the year for 2008

K@ka was World Player of the year for 2007 (Where Messi was runner-up)..you are right

If Ronaldo will be World player of the year for 2009....then who was World Player of the year for 2008...(cause like you said K@ka was 2007 and that was the last award):confused:

Read Supa's post.

I got confused with the 2009 year. It will be given this year for last season. Like it was given in 2007 for ***a and Messi

this is getting boring.

According to you our double will still reflect in the 2009 season..get a grip dude..we might still be considered the champions in 2009 as the final is only played in May 2009, but the criteria for who will be Player of the year for 2009 will be taken from the season of 2008-2009.

Listen to yourself....and think, on what Basis did K@ka win The award, if Barca's double still reflects in 2007, why not give it to Ronaldinho or Messi....oh wait cause when Barca won the double in 2006, Ronaldinho won Player of the year for 2006 and when Milan won the CL in 2007, the K@ka won the award for 2007...hellooooo!

Dont confuse yourself...Messi should of been third in 2007 as in the season 2006-2007 (which is what they use to to judge for the World player for 2007), Messi did nothing to warrant second.

Exactly...and last season was Aug2007-May2008
The year K@ka won it was for the season Aug2006-May2007...
And therefore my point is that, you cant argue that Messi got second place as a result of Barca winning the double...because as we all know in the season Aug2006-May2007 --> Barca won NOTHING!!!

So you are saying that Messi just happened to be placed second. It was like the lotto? Messi got lucky?

Barca won nothing, but they thought they would just sneak Messi into second place. Messi deserved second.

Are you reading your own posts?

FFS it has nothing to do with a football season, why the hell do you think it takes place during a currently running season in December.

What a ridiculous comment about messi, he got almost 100 more votes than ronaldo!
