Hello Everybody, Please read this article to find out how Anti-Cristiano Ronaldo people are affecting his chance of winning the Gillete Best Young Player award. Title: Supporters Hijack Ronaldo’s vote http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2006/5153870.stm People who are disappointed by Rooney’s sent off during Quarterfinal game against blame the whole thing on Cristiano. These fans seem to forget Soccer is won by a superb game and respect for each other on field. No player in mind right mind lays hands on others, like Rooney did. Cristiano was leading the people’s vote, but people who hate him now because of England’s loss in Quarter Final against Portugal are spreading a chain email asking others not to vote for Cristiano and instead go for Ecuador's Luis Valencia. That email turned more than 140,000 internet users to vote in against Ronaldo overnight, and gave a lead of about 50,000 votes to Valencia. Cristiano is definitely one of the best young players in this tournament. Just because England looses does not mean that people take away the award he deserves. Cristiano is already going to have a tough time when he will play for Manchester United with his team mates Rooney etc. We have to give our support to Cristiano by proving that he is still the people’s choice as the best young player. Let’s log on to www.fifaworldcup.yahoo.com and vote as Cristiano Ronaldo as the best young player. Please go read articles about this issue on the links listed below. You will know more about how people are trying to side line Portugal. No matter what happens people should not have gone so against Ronaldo, and now that they already are, we have also got to show that Portugal and its fine players are liked and will be supported by many fans. I guess the voting is just over; but it would be still worth it to check these out and put out comments. Thanks much.
