        Håller med om vad han säger, men omöjligt att Eto'o ska ha en ballon d'or under Ronaldinhos storhetstid

        Fast den gode Samuel var Europas bästa striker under många säsonger. Ni vinner inte CL -06 utan honom och han bidrog i både ligan o cuperna

        It's tough. When he was at his peak there was Ronaldinho.

        Timing helps sometimes. There have been excellent players who would have won Ballon d’Or in an era NOT of Messi and Ronaldo. Remember Zidane, Ronaldinho, et al??? That’s Eto’o’s undoing.

        You should understand he is from Africa. They don't respect us. I God that gave George Weah that opportunity.

        But then, we need to understand that it was tough during the time because Kaka and Ronaldinho were at the peak.

        It’s not about being black or white, no not at all.. it’s all about being great at the game but in a world full of competition, great is not just great enough you’ve got to be the best. Harzad, Iniesta, etc are yet to win it, great players indeed but not the best in their time.

        If you agree that Ronaldinho deserved hos ballon d'or... Then you must also agree that Jay Jay Okocha should receive one even though he's retired... Both were nightmares for defenders
