Very important you all do this...
There is a very real danger that Cristiano Ronaldo will be voted
the fans' best young player at the World Cup despite his pouting,
diving, pretty boy antics designed mainly to get himself a lucrative
transfer to Real Madrid and thus avoid the good kicking he deserves
from Wayne Rooney at Manchester United training.
He is currently first in the FIFA voting just ahead of Luis
Valencia of Ecuador. Please can everyone go to and do the decent thing
by voting for Valencia. Voting ends today! It doesn't matter who you
support or if you haven't seen them play, just stop Ronaldo.
You know it makes sense - pass it on!

Re: important: cheaters in football
UP, you're a bandwagon-jumping fool. The villain of the piece is Rooney for letting his temper get the better of him for the umpteenth time and committing a clear red card offence. Ronaldo's antics are tame in comparison to Rooney's idiocy. I think England fans like us should realise how pathetic our sour grapes is looking to the rest of the world, especially since the England team had been looking utterly undeserving of the title before our belated 10-man blitz.
I think everybody should bring to mind the greater intimidation of the referee (pushing etc) that we have seen from English players like Neville at Man Utd before claiming that attempting to turn an official's mind is solely the speciality of Johnny Foreigner.
PS - I'm a MU fan btw.

I did look for that sniper in the crowd, clearly he was doing his job well, as i couldn't see him anywhere!jimmymac wrote:to be honest i would sign this on the basis of his antics at the semi final last night. didnt think he did much wrong in the england match.
Last night however was shocking, protugal players falling over left right and centre...was incredible to watch

What a surprise... could anyone see the award not going to a high Fifa ranked team?Bob wrote:re: Young Player of the World Cup award - Fifa had the final say anyway, so although Ecuador's Luis Valencia ended up getting the most votes, they chose Germany striker Lucas Podolski.......!
The diving in this tournament has been shocking, with the Portugese clearly after Oscars. Although it will sound very sour for me to say this, Ronaldo is outrageous. Fortunately in the game tonight his reputation was known by the ref and he wasn't having any of it. He was still being booed and there's no way that could have been stray England fans making all the noise everytime he got the ball or play-acting. The thing is he's a good player, he doesn't need to do all that shit.
Fifa really need to do something about it in general though. Isn't it time that refs had access to some sort of replay shots for contentious challenges and disputes of the ball crossing, or not, the line. They've told refs to tighten up and dish out more cards but the dishonest players are making a mockery of this by diving and getting innocent players sent off or carded in general.
