Best Male Player of '08

Portugal. Cristiano Ronaldo. FIFA Best Player of the Year for 2008. Let me guess. He plays in England or Spain. Yep (The former). So this coaches poll has really looked hard at every soccer player in the entire world? Please.

He is brilliant, of course. But this is just not a sensible award. How about put Cristiano on the LA Galaxy last season and let's see just how dominating he appears to be. David B. looked good but not brilliant with them.Soccer is a team sport.

People like individual awards, pet rocks, and winter. I don't.
