How do you define 'best' ?

The Groundsman wonders about the process of determining The Best Player in the World:

1) “You’re saying he’s the best based upon the notion that the Premier League IS the best league in the world, rather than the one with the most money. He’s the best in his league, but without having seen football in other countries week in and week out, it’s unfair to make that judgement.”

2) “How do you define ‘best’? Does it mean the ability to score lots of goals? Does it mean the player has more entertainment value on the field? Does it mean he creates the best opportunities for his teammates?”

  2. Can he win the vote in 2010? Messi won in 2009 but he and Cristiano are both so young that either player could be the best of his generation. I think Ronaldo can do it. What I like best about him is his drive and ambition to be the best, for his team to be the best. I think that this is the one thing that sets him apart from Messi. And - not to take anything away from Messi - but I think that Messi has had stronger teams around him than Ronaldo. What Ronaldo needs is for Real Madrid to get stronger. That will make his case stronger: the world will get to better see what a great player he is.

  3. Interestingly, Ronaldo trails both Messi and Wayne Rooney in our 2010 poll at www.bestplayerintheworld.com.
