And Messi wouldn't be the same if he didn't have to change and adapt his style of playing like Ronaldo did three times, once he changes from team to team and from Country to Country.

I actually think Cristiano is better team player than Messi. Messi is selfish and bit aspie and he doesn't look good outside of familiar Barca system.

But he is still a genius.

Cristiano actually was great at Man U and Real, and we will see at Juve, and that worth of respect. I just can't see same level of talent like Messi, only Diego come close to that and even he is inferior. I think so.

Not meant to hate on Modric, excellent player but far from being on the same level or numbers of C. Ronaldo.

Logical, Modric is not a striker.

Cristiano failed in the World Championship as fuck. Modric did not.
Cristiano won the Champions League. Modric too.

This particular prize means little, the important is the Balón de Oro... a prize that Modric also will win

Ronaldo is not a striker as well.

The only reason why you don't care is because Ronaldo is not in Madrid anymore. Period.

I think Balon d'Or will go to Griezmann. He is French after all. It would not be be undeserved, despite I think Luka did little bit more

Yet Griz won Europa League and World Cup as main player of Atletico, and one of main players in France.

I do care. A lot. I was supporting the player of my team: Modric. Same than you are supporting Cristiano just because he is from your country.
At least I have a reason related with football.

Ronaldo has been playing number 9 for two last seasons, at least, if not more. Since he got older it was decided he is more effective in the box than on his wing position he played trough out most of his career.

Not being dishonest, I do support Ronaldo because he is Portuguese but also because I believe him to be the best. He is not only one of the best football players in the history of mankind, he is equally the most hated football player ever.

I think both Ronaldo and Messi should have attended the ceremony. The reason they didn't is because both of them are sore losers and egoist bastards, but that's what makes them great too: they aren't happy being number two.
