What's with the insults? He has been a hypocrite mate. He claimed he hated foreigners who dive when in fact, he dives as well. Sad but true. I had to take my rose tinted glasses off for awhile.

Some people claimed themselves to be those with brains or to be precise, those clever and have more knowledge on football..But the truth is they support their club players blindly, not knowing the truth and acting like a kid, flaming in each and every thread.

I posted in Fifa world player, saying that Ronaldo to be among those favourites of winning...he clearly wasnt happy about that..He want me to say is gonna be Torressssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ...

Hypocrite is overhyped. Its pretty much a normal human behavior in today's world. You see at your work place, at school, clubs, on forums, you see it everywhere. Everyone has been a hypocrite at least in one occasion. Its like jail walking, people do it all the time!

He is a good player and I liken Martin Skrtel to him. The thread title however doesn't say "best player". The player has to be an inspiration on and off the pitch, a good "role model". E.g. Michael Jordan wasn't only the best player in the world at the time but he gave a lot back to community. These days many famous faces "give" to charity but you know that it is mostly down to their agents moulding a good public image for them. Jamie Carragher for example used to donate money anonymously until one of his mates leaked it to the press. Many African footballers have helped with football development back there. Being a good player alone doesn't cut it for the purpose of this thread.

Judging from the expensive legal team he can afford I'd be surprised he gets community service.

Top being a sensitive little girl. If you have an example of a Man Utd player that does community work then say so. Fact is that Carra donates to charity as does many other footballers. The bigger picture I'm trying to paint is that to be a role model, you have to do more than play well on the pitch. Your off the pitch exploits should also be taken into account. Excuse me for not citing examples of Man Utd players. Rio donates to charity as well, happy? Should I also cite examples of players from every other Premiere League club just to be politically correct?

Just for the sake of argument, yes, I shiok sendiri because I am proud to be a Liverpool fan, so? What? It's wrong for me to think Carragher is the consumate professional? Funny you didn't take notice when I knocked Gerrard for what he did in the bar and that he dives. Selective memory?

Grow up and stop turning this into a finger pointing match. Yes Terry's and angel and so is Ronaldo.

I understand that comprehension is low amongst younger folk in particular and therefore let me make it clear that I cite examples of Liverpool players simply because I'm most familiar with them. What? You want me to praise your players? Do that yourself. IF you have facts, state them.

George Weah: A former world class footballer who always rememberes his roots, and he tries to help his ruined home country. Liberia is a country always looking for helps from the US. But he want to make the people to think that they can stand up by their own feet.

Andres Iniesta: Small in size, doesn't have big muscles, doesn't have the pace, can't head the ball properly, his long shooting is not so powerful, he only plays with his intelligent brain and good passes, but still he is one of the star player in one of the best team in the world. He rises from down the youth team to the first team of the club.

Did Iniesta donate his money? I doubt people will ever know if Iniesta does donate some money. He is a very shy guy and doesn't talk too much like some other star players with the media. He is actually still living in his parent's home. Well, the whole Barca team are involved with various UNICEF programmes. So he surely has done many humanitarian jobs with the team.

Relax Duke. Fact is, very few rival fans will see the light of the day and will instead be misled by generalization and what they read or see in the media. People slate Ronaldo to no end about him being a self loving c*nt, but in actual fact he's been very generous with his charitable work and is a familiar face in fighting against HIV. He's very close to his family and takes his football seriously. Still, Ronaldo can go on and find the cure for AIDS, but he'll still be regarded as a "arrogant human with a bad attitude."

I just wished people would practice a little common sense and objectivity. I must admit I don't read up enough about other players to comment on whether or not they deserve to be role models. I'm using Carra as an example because I know more about him and yet, I'm seen as "shiok sendiri". So someone saying, "I think Vidic is the best defender in the world", isn't doing the same? In the end it's irrelevant because it isn't the point of the post.

If he had taken a look at the bigger picture, he would have noticed that the reason I used the Carra example it for posters to look beyond what players do on the pitch. The thread title suggests that the said player has to be inspirational and a role model. Comments like, "I like player X because he is good" may cut it in a "best player" post but in this case, the player has to have more than just playing ability. Even Michael Essien whom I hate makes an effort to help develop football back in his native Africa. These are things that transcend the pitch and you won't hear off unless you read up on.
