Podolski played excellent, and well deserves the award. The itching factor was though how people went after C.Ronaldo, and judged him on what is projected by Media. It is like how in Nepal sometime a good player is targetted by fans and even personally attacked (sometimes Physically too). I was also concenrned about his frequent diving, and watched many replays where he has fallen. In most instances, he has been touched by others. Chances are the momentum and the way he plays; the speed and how he wants to control over the ball, makes him fall. If he was not a superb player, he would not have been playing for Machester United. If he was so much disliked for the falls, then how could he have been with the M.U. team so far, why didn't they kick him out if his attitudes were so bizzare? He is just being spotlighted on the "Heat of the issue". This player has something which took him to such a height. He can be commented on his divings, but his crossings and dribbling skills remain at its best.
