They've both dominated European club football for the past 5 years though. That's what I meant. Even if we ignore that, Messi is a gold medallist and Ronaldo was superb in 2004, 2006 and 2012. I've not seen the same level of performance from Ribery.
France were a real shambles in 2010 so that wasn't really an achievement to be the best of a bad bunch. I'm not saying Ribery is s
hit, just think he's a bit of a myth.

No, root means, support, and I would like the Netherlands to win one after losing three finals, they deserve it for their impact on the sport, and I would like Argentina to just go HAM and slap their dicks all over Brazil (and for Messi).
