Of course he deserved it, he was consistently the best player by far in 2013, and will continue to be this year.

the voting for this was really funny. vincent kompany didn't vote for either ronaldo or messi, buffon voted for pirlo. some mad choices.

There are already claims from national team Captains stating that what is in the document released from the FIFA containing the final vote list , is not what they voted ..... FIFA manipulation had already been proof at the world cup "raffle" . Youtube for videos showing it

I have to say prior that i respect much Ronaldo as i consider him the talent pushed to nearly perfection that has improved since is in Real Madrid , but in the other way we have to respect Lionel Messi that beeing half year out of the fields was very close this year to win it

Vinny (allegedly) voted for Ribery and Yaya, don't see a problem there Stevie. Although his third choice of Hazard was a tad strange.

hazard's belgian. it's dead nepotistic this voting. like the bloody eurovision song contest.

Looks like FIFA may have another idiot in line to take over from Blatter if and when he retires.

Sorry mate....posting or copying links to media reports isn't allowed anymore....according to Alfie (the new mod)Conn anyway 55555

Ronaldo's Ballon d'Or. Is his second career. This also increases the more his confidence for the future continue to struggle.

A mate of mine picked up a signed Ronaldo Portugal shirt for about 400 quid yesterday.

Now all he needs is for Ronaldo to die in a car crash or something and he'll be quids in on eBay.

Who would want to be this keeper?

omg here we go again with the Messi excuses, he wasn't out for half the year, it was barely 2 months at the end of the year. Ronaldo still played better than him during the time Messi wasn't injured. Ronaldo also broke the record for most goals during the group stage of the UCL. He deserved it even if Messi weren't injured for those irrelevant months.

Thrilled to see Carlitos lighting up Italy. Heck of a move by him and a bargain for Juve.
