CRISTIANO RONALDO is on course to retain his crown as FIFA's World Player of the Year.

The Real Madrid ace, who won the award last season for his stunning form with Manchester United, has been named on a 23-man shortlist for this term's accolade.

And Ronaldo, 24, heads a familiar cast of the beautiful game's leading talent.

Spain provide six nominees — goalkeeper Iker Casillas, defender Carles Puyol, midfielders Andres Iniesta and Xavi and strikers Fernando Torres and David Villa.

Its obvious Messi will win.

In fact he'll also win the European one as well.

Kevin Davies is getting mugged here.

Marc Overmars - October 30, 2009 01:39 PM (GMT)
Messi to win although Ronnie won't be close behind.

Them 2 are head and shoulders above everyone else, tbh.

It'll be Messi. Winning the Champions League and being top scorer in said competition saw to that.
