Christiano Ronaldo is a total cunt but I can't deny that he's about as close as anyone has got to being the perfect player: insane dribbling skill; lethal finisher; superb passer and arguably the best dead-ball specialist the game has ever seen. He's also strong. I think Messi is an incredible player but saw how Chelsea effectively neutralised him during their two legs in the champions league. Ronaldo does what he does week in week out against tough Premiership defences. I'd even question whether Ronaldinho at his peak could've done that. Ronaldo is only let down by his capacity to sulk a bit on the pitch when things aren't going his way, and an arrogance that makes him quite the easiest footballer to hate right now. As a player though (IMHO) he's pretty untouchable. Love the player, hate the man.
