Balon de Oro...

Okay so I was really... excited to find out who was going to be the winner of the Balon de Oro... the nominees came down to Cristiano Ronado and Lionel Messi and I was crossing my fingers as they were going to announce it... Then they said the Balon de Oro goes to... Lionel Messi... What is going on!!! Can someone please tell the FIFA that they have made a huge mistake and that they need to go back and check their records on goals, assistants, and championships. It is absurd that The 2009 Balon de Oro was given to Lionel Messi, if you ask me Cristiano Ronaldo deserved it and should have gotten it. Ronaldo the Madrid super-star won the Galardon from the France Footbal magazine that is given each year to the best player with 446 vote crushed Lionel Messi whom only received 281 votes from the public. The balon de Oro is given to the best player, the player that has achieved more than everyone else, the player that has gone beyond the expectations, the player that has won everything, So why didn't Cristiano Ronaldo receive the balon de Oro??? Prior to Real Madrid Ronaldo won la Liga de Campeones de Europa and the Premie League with Manchester United and Combined 42 goals. Messi did not come close to these statistics so what are they basing it on? well the only thing I can think of is la Seleccion. Ronaldo didn't do so well with Portugal where Messi won a goal medal in the olympics with Argentina. Although he won a medal his quality in the field was poor, Messi hasnt been the same player and him winning that goal medal was a team accomplishment where as Ronaldo he took his team to the Champions and stood up to his expectations. It doesn't make sense to me why they would give Messi the Balon de Oro Come on people look at the number and look at the game. Well theres always next year, I feel that Cristiano has grown so much and will keep growing where as Messi he has just stopped and soon will find himself like Ronaldiho...
