Man Utd are the best team in the world at the minute TBH AJ, Barcelona should be very worried,cause they way Utd are attacking these days they will destroy that leaky Barca back four,to be honest I think all four of our teams whoever had came up against Barca would have knocked them out ,its just a 100 percent cert its gonna be an english winner this yr,my money is on Man U or Liverpool though,Utd are the better team but Liverpool know how to win European Ties,by the way Im a Newcastle fan

Back at Old Trafford, all we got to do is keep a clean sheet, hell even score just the one and we've nailed it. Barcelona dont really bother me, they've been crap this year but still lets safely get through the the semis before we worry about that

His weakest thing is passing/crossing and that's still good like seen on the Tevez villa goal recently. If he had Nani's crossing and Carrick/Scholes passing then he'd be perfect in all areas.

Ronnie has, Shooting left foot right foot, finishing in the box, pace, power, skills, great in the air, free kicks. They guy is better than most at everything. Another legend created by the best club in the world.

What Ronaldo does, you simply cannot teach. He is a natural footballer and along with Messi the only footballers you could not replace for any amount of money. People mention Ronaldo crossing, but it is very hard to cross at the speed he runs at. Remember when Ronaldo came to UTD in first season he was built like an X-Ray, same as Nani is now, give Nani a chance to bulk up and I think he will be a great player to.

On his current form, yes. But I've yet to see him do anything that matches some of the things Messi was doing on the top of his game last season

Also, I don't think he's as good as Thierry on the top of his game, but looks like we're not going to see him as good as that again

The 1st few games of Ronaldo's 1st season in England, everyone was raving about how good he was going to be. For the next couple of years people were starting to think that he had been over-hyped. Sure, he was good, but not THAT special. At the moment he's incredible no doubt

In answer to your questions AJ, Yes, I hope we do the double, and Yes he is currently the best player in the world!

Can't overlook Van Der Sar's save last night, amazing shot stop!

i usually don't comment when it comes to football, nothing is live here in the states. always a day behind.

-ronaldo? maybe the best fooking actor, deserves an oscar.

his best effort to date, world cup dramatics.

another golden moment.

sorry, but its true. he may be doing wonders as of late, but his past will always haunt him.

You say you dont usually comment, you obviously don't get to see much football, Ronaldo does NOT go down like he used to, he has changed loads. He has learned to stay on his feet and is a better player for it imo.

Unfortunately his reputation often preceeds him so referees still think he is diving when 8/10 times he probably isnt.

Awesome player, how anyone can say he isn't i do not know!

this year he has been best in the world yes, but there only 3 players in the world who can win the award and may i point out that KAKA is STILL world player of the year and showed up at all the big games last year.

ronaldo is exceptional and should get the award next year as it really has been his year.

last night united were lucky, they faced a roma side without key players and roma just couldnt put the ball in the back of the net dispite having excellent chances, not to say united didnt deserve the win as they took theirs!!

i think people get a bit carried away with ronaldo sometimes because thats all people in this country see.
