As seen, Spain for the first time have 2 candidates, plus if we consider
Agentina &/or FC Barcelona in Messi´s case, the flavour of the

night was definately Spanish, if not, at least Latin with 2 Portugues
speaking candidates along side the other 3 candidates.

However their can only be one ultimate winner & that person was
CRISTIANO RONALDO who was crowned FIFA WORLD PLAYER

2008, the trophy was given by legend Pele who gave a short speech

remembering that last year he promised Ronaldo that he would win

after finishing second to Kaka for the 2007 prize.

MESSI, third to FERNANDO TORRES, fourth to KAKA & fifth to
