I believe he is really happy he was awarded before those Aliens came.... he wud av just been NOMINEES
different times mate, he played in the time where Ronaldinho, Deco, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Raul, Pavel friggin Nedved were at the height of their power. but i agree with you, those two aliens consistencies are out of this world. Messi was a year away from his debut while Ronaldo was a Kid busy with his hair style, different times.
