Cristiano Ronaldo Wins FIFA Player of the Year, We Ask for a Recount

Now, I am not nearly enough of a soccer aficionado to claim to know whether Ronaldo, deserved “FIFA Player of the Year” honors.  What I can make a declaration about is whether Ronaldo’s off the field “play” deserved to the recognized in the 2008 calendar year.  For those of you who haven’t yet picked up on this site’s theme, that last sentence means that I am going to judge Ronaldo’s women in 2008 against other contenders for the FIFA player of the year.  Then, and only then, will I make my King Solomon-like decision on whether Ronaldo really deserves his award:

To recap, let’s take a look at Ronaldo’s ladies in 2008:

Italian model and TV presenter, Letizia Filippi:

Before Letizia there was model Nereida Gallardo:

In early 2008, he was linked with TV presenter, Carolina Patrocinio:

and most recently, he was seen with Alyena Haynes, a Ukrainian Model.  Take a look:

As you can see, his 2008 finish was less than stellar.

Let’s check out the competition:

Lionel Messi (Finished 2nd)

Fernando Torres (3rd Place Finisher) –

His Girlfriend Olalla

Kaka (Finished 4th)

His wife Carolina Celico

Xavi Hernandez – No girlfriend that I can find.  Get it together Xavi.

Other Finalists:

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Helena Seger Girlfriend

Okay, FIFA, I’ll give you your just due in saying that you made the correct decision.  I appreciate that Messi is dating a porn star, but that simply doesn’t overcome Ronaldo’s body of work. Congrats you unusually tan Portugese SOB.
