    Deco has done nothing for the NT but his club performance is better.

    Ronaldo is much better. They don't even compare!! Deco just blends into a team...his skill is asked to be used every once in a while... Ronaldo on the other hand with man U is constantly being asked to carry the ball and take on defenders. Ronaldo Has a nice shot... but he never uses it with man U. He also has that deadly header... Deco is living in Ronaldinho's shadow right now... he hasn't really impressed with Barca, a few nice passes and goals, but nothing compared to C. Ronaldo.

    I'm going to disagree with ur statement, if u talk to a lot of Barca fans they will tell u that Deco has been one of their best player's this season! :D

    Deco is player of the year.
    He has made Barcelona a much better team and he has been playing very well.
    On the NT however,he has been so-so
    Ronaldo plays very well for the NT and he will be the key to Portugal's chances at the World Cup. IMO Ronaldo eventually will be the better of the two.

    Deco is the better player right now, simply because he makes everyone around him better as well. He is like Zizou in that instance with a hint of Michael Jordan :). However, I believe that one day, we could see Cristiano Ronaldo as the best footballer in the world, or among the top...

    He's no longer in the running, the list has been reduced to 3 players by FIFA:

    Ronaldinho
    Shevchenko
    Henry

    http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UCL/news/Kind=1/newsId=263171.html

    I guess he can still win the Ballon D'or but I think Shevchenko should run away with both of these awards.

    Shevchenko is held in high regard because of his play for Ukraine. They lead their group and he is the one and only reason why. Ukraine has a really good chance of making the world cup for the first time. Plus, he has been spectacular for AC milan this year.

    Deco would have won for sure if he did better at Euro 2004.

    Right now, even with CR's NT performances, I'd rather have Deco. Ask me again in 2006 after the World Cup and CR will probably be better by then.

    Give it to Sheva. Henry is just good in the EPL, he can't score for France or in the Champion's League. Ronaldinho didn't win anything either and wasn't particularly impressive last year. Sheva scores on anyone, and he's the only star player on a Ukraine side that's first in their qualifying group.

    Deco by far deco is far more defensive than c.ronaldo and Deco loves to attack he does alot of work in the midfiield and will score goals as well. just look at their work rate

    Deco his not disappointed but still hopes for the Golden ball, if he had to vote he would pick Shevchenko


    15h50Futebol: Deco prefere a “Bola de Ouro” ao título de melhor jogador do mundo O internacional português Deco não ficou desiludido com o facto de não estar entre os três finalistas para o prémio Melhor Jogador do Mundo, instituído pela FIFA, cujo vencedor será anunciado no próximo dia 20 de Dezembro. Ronaldinho, Barcelona, Shevchenko, Milão e Thierry Henry, Arsenal, são os finalistas. Em declarações ao “Mais Futebol”, Deco afirmou não estar triste. “Vou continuar a fazer o meu trabalho, como sempre fiz até aqui, e a dar o melhor em prol do Barcelona e da selecção portuguesa”, disse o ex-jogador do FC Porto. Deco integrou a lista de 35 futebolistas escolhidos como candidatos ao prémio e também faz parte dos 50 “concorrentes” à Bola de Ouro, prémio instituído pelo “France Football”. Deco, campeão europeu pelo FC porto e vice-campeão da Europa por Portugal, considera este prémio mais importante que aquele e não esconde o orgulho por estar nomeado. No entanto, se fosse dada a oportunidade, votaria no ucraniano Shevchenko.

    At the moment Deco is the better player. C. Ronaldo will one day be the best player in the World in my opinion, just not yet. Like most have said, Deco is better at Club level and has accomplished a lot at that level, while Cristiano shows to be much better for the NT.

    Deco should have been Player of the Year, but since he's not getting it, Scheva deserves it the most.

    Amazing how many "or Ronaldo" threads there are out there:

    Joaquin or Ronaldo
    Robben or Ronaldo
    I think I saw a Shawn W Phillips or Ronaldo thread
    Tevez or Ronaldo

    We should start a Rui Jorge or Ronaldo thread...

    I think Ronaldo is better defensively but Rui Jorge is the better dribbler :p
