My favorite footballer is Cristiano Ronaldo. I just love watching him play. He has got so many tricks to show. I also like Messi.
I don't usually watch soccer, my Mother would always tell me that it was a "retarded" sport. She says that it is kind of idiotic for so many men to chase 1 soccer ball. After that, she would switch the television channel.
I like Pavel Pogrebnyak. However he is not in his best right now. Alexander Kerzhakov is coming through nicely. Of the youngsters, Alan Dzagoev is very promising. Outside Russia, Heinreich Schmidtgal of Kazakhstan is very good, Alexander Geynrikh of Uzbekistan is also good.
My favorite footballer is Messi. I do not follow football much except for Euro and World Cup and sometimes World Cup Pre-qualifiers.
