Hey Girls,
What is Ballon d'Or? Take a look at this article with the status in the different section.
Ballon d'Or is the World Player of the year. There were 3 players that were in the final run for the best player of the year.
Franck Ribery (French player playing for the European cup Winner Bayern Munich , Lionel Messi (Argintinia player for Barcelona - my favorite team) and Cristiano Ronaldo (portugese player who plays for Real Madrid.
The history has been lately all about Messi. So the winners the last five years are:
2008: Critiano Ronaldo
2009/2010/2011/2012: Messi
My personal opinion is Ronaldo is the best athelete and most skilled in the world.
Messi of course is incredible but he is a better team player and he has an incredible passing team to complement him.
Ribery is very scrappy and fast like both Ronald and Messi but he had a very good team in Bayer Munich.
Take a look at his stats in the article, he beat out Ronald and Messi in many but not the most important goal scoring.
The Winner for 2013 is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpDIGQZSFD8
They say Ronaldo sealed the title in the Portugal vs Sweeden game that was going to knock out Portugal or Sweeden for the World Cup. In the game he scored the 1st goal, Sweden scored twice so Ronaldo scored 2 more times to knock out Sweeden.
Here are some highlights of an epic battle between 2 of the worlds best players, Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic. These 2 men scored all 5 goals.

As you may have seen now, Portugal is in the same bracket as the US and Germany so it is going to be hard round for the US.
It is going to be exciting to watch. We will probably send out some more blogs as we get close to June for players to watch. There are many incredible players that you can see in the World cup
You got to love it,
Coach Eric
