@idmanager and @crappycraperson have my pick
He clearly was the star of the team and would have won the young player of the WC award is it wasn't for the English media going mad over winkgate.@Cal? Ronaldo wasn’t even the best player on that Portugal team at the 2006 World Cup, let alone one of the stars of the tournament

Exactly, RESTED, he already did his part to help Portugal to win the first 2 games and was therefore RESTED, how is that a bad thing?Mate he was rested for one game and subbed in the first half of another. He also played in the meaningless first place tournament. Even Maniche made the team of the tournament before him FFS. Don’t rewrite history.
Now you agree that goals are important?Ronaldo at the World Cup 2006
1 goal (a penalty versus Iran) and 0 asissts.

As for being kicked off the pitch by the Dutch, again, how's that his fault?
Like I said, the team of the tournament had more to do with the over-reaction of the English media over winkgate.

Platini only has 2 goals in 86 despite playing in a much more central role, I don't see you commenting on that pick.
Your obsession with Ronaldo is kind of funny, anyway, let's leave it for the match threads.No it didn’t. The team of the tournament was not decided by the English media. And the rest of Europe/the world wouldn’t miss a beat to get one over on the English media and name ronaldo as one of the stars of the tournament if he had done anything to deserve it.
Ronaldo was raw at that tournament, scored a penalty and didn’t assist anyone. He didn’t have a bad tournament but he wasn’t anywhere near the top performers.
I would have picked Cannavaro if he was available, but given the remaining choices, I thought Ronaldo was as valid as pick as any.I’ve never said goals aren’t important. You know my stance on ronaldo and how much I rate him, but just admit you’ve picked him hoping that people see ronaldo messi and vote for you without realizing that it’s to be based on actual performances in the tournament.

Unless you're going to skip over 2006, basically any pick can be picked apart except Cannavaro.No no I don’t have an obsession with him. I like him. He just doesn’t belong in this draft at all IMO.

Let’s leave that for the match threadsRonaldo from WC 2006? Wasn’t that winkgate??
He was good in the qualifiers but he had a horrid WC.
