i have a theory on ronaldo his lack of personal awards (as in ballon d'or fifa footballer of the year or w/e the fuck its called nowadays and this list)

 

u man wanna hear it ok 

 

for what must b the first time people r writing messi off this year, blame injury, barca not playing like the 300 spartans, fanboyism or w/e but messi detractors are at an all time high

 

if ronaldo was to win one of them big boy awards it would basically be by "default" u follow, "it was getting boring having messi win every year" (similar to olujawon beating mj for the MVP after he won three years in a row)

 

and years down the line people might view it with an asterik in their head (similar to cannavaro/dnt wanna hear about the titles he won that year safe)

 

this is a tremendous disrespect to the boy ronnie who is ten times exciting as 

 

who agrees who disagrees who thinks i should go to sleep and do not watch enuff football
