This past week, Cristiano Ronaldo made a pretty bold statement: ""I have an ambition to become the
best player in history." Big words. Especially when Argentine mega mite Lionel Messi just took home
the Ballon D'Or as the best player of 2009. Inevitably, these two mega talents have not only
defined today's game [.

The Pick: Fitting that the picture above shows Ronaldo running away while
wearing a Man U jersey. After all, that is the last view Man U fans had of Ronaldo after he ran to
Real Madrid for a bigger check. But, I am not so sure La Liga poses Ronnie a bigger challenge than
the EPL did (and would have kept doing).

The Pick: I love Kaka. I know he will be way higher on this list by the time
his career is over, and I only put him down this low because my formula probably puts too much
emphasis on one's career stats, and Kaka's career is far from over.

The Pick: I know what you are thinking: "is that really a picture of a bib with
Messi's face on it?" Well sports fans, I am not an expert on the subject, but yes that is exactly
what it appears to be. It is fitting too because Messi more than any other player of his generation
so far (and that it includes Ronaldo and Kaka) makes opposing teams cry like babies.
