It is to me, is he one of the best in the world? Sure, but Messi scored 72 goals and Ronaldo 60. Winning an international tournament rarely affect the votes (see 2004, 2008, 2010) why should it now?

You people underrate him, he really is one of the best players in the world. Messi is the best overall, of course, but since Spain won the Euros this year and Iniesta was a big part of that - it's not that big of a surprise.

Probably the one I'm least likely to go to.
I reckon my dad will want to go to Madrid, I'd quite like Dortmund myself.

Speak for yourself. I know for a fact I wouldn't. I've been passed on for accolades in favor of people I know I was more deserving than and I applauded them publicly. It's called character. Ronaldo doesn't have any. He's a selfish egomaniac who is too in love with himself to show any humility or grace.

This post is proof of how hard it is to predict these draws. Too bad you forgot the television rules before you made this, you cannot have three premier league teams playing on the same match day. Then you labeled the groups 1-8 rather than A-H.
If you talking about Cannavaro 2006, I'd have to disagree. He was very good, and if you put in work like he did in the biggest stage...you deserve to be crowned best player.dena wrote:Theo Filippo wrote:It did in 2002, 2006 and now 2012.
2002 was deserved though, he was the best player in the world. 2006 and 2012 were simply wrong.

Was Iniesta more deserving than Ronaldo though? Messi yes, but Iniesta? I don't think so.
As far as personal achievements go, not really.menalawyerguy wrote:dena wrote:

Me neither. Ronaldo should have won it. Messi and he had equally impressive seasons and his team accomplished more. So he should have won.
Buffon was better in 2006.chiboygeorge wrote:If you talking about Cannavaro 2006, I'd have to disagree. He was very good, and if you put in work like he did in the biggest stage...you deserve to be crowned best player.dena wrote:

It's a sad state of affairs when the whole situation of the greatest club tournament in the world is determined by the fucking TV.Danny wrote:Tbf, he did say no particular group order.Weather130 wrote:

With all the TV shit determining which team can be in which group, you've got absolutely no chance of predicting it correctly.
Why couldn't we have been in the group Arsenal got, we were put straight into Group H when we were the penultimate team out.
