So err... which were the records left over that Ronaldo's just stitched into his shoes?

1, 9, 14, 19, 27, 55 & 60

The 1 refers to his first La Liga title with Real Madrid, the 9 and 14 being his amount of goals and games for Portugal. The 19 is the record-breaking number of opponents Ronaldo has scored against while the 27 was his age last year.

But the most incredible and standout numbers are the last two – 55 and 60 – referring to his amazing goal tally in 2012, when Ronaldo found the net 60 times in just 55 matches.

So really, 60 in 55 is the only *decent* stat. Alas, on my Google journey, I couldn't find a picture of these stitched into his loafers.

Spain Captain Casillas did not even have Messi in his top 3. Not that he is bitter it seems.

Thanks Muddled, this is a valuable service you're providing.

Same way the Portuguese vote (which should be getting done by Ronaldo, but the drama queen doesn't vote for some reason).........................doesn't include Messi at all.
The again Messi doesn't chuck a sympathy vote Ronaldo's way...............but at least he has the balls to vote, so he cannot get an automatic first choice.

Bruno Alves - Portuguese cunt - didn't even have Messi in his top 3 LOL.

I love all the bitterness from Ronaldo's side.

He didn't.

[dww]

Austria coach voted Balotelli as his 3rd. What a ****ing plonker

I think it really depends on what you use to decide. I think a lot of international managers look at internationals first and Balotelli was really good at the Euros in many peoples opinions.

I think the real problem is that the aims of the whole thing are pretty unclear.
