he is a f%$$ng whiner and should have been red-carded for the insane amount of dives he had. I love it that he won't get the award. A "sportsman" does not behave like he does. Please look at the replay of the Portugal matches and decide by yourself if he even deserves to be nominated for the award. Not only his plays but his attitude matters as well. And in that department, he needs a big improvement. Sure he is good and all, but that does not make him a "great" football player. Greatness is not merely measured by talent.
