The award "FIFA World Player" already has its nominees for best player in 2008 and two of their top candidates to win, the Argentine Lionel Messi and Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, are present in the list of 23 candidates distributed today by the alderman of the body World football.The awards ceremony will be held on January 12 2009 at the opening of Zurich and the winner will be defined by the votes of coaches and captains of national teams playing under the orbit of FIFA.
Spain, champion of Europe, is the country that has more players in the race to get the award, with a total of six: Iker Casillas, Fernando Torres, David Villa, Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas and winning the prize as the best footballer Euro 2008, Xavi Hernandez.
Apart from Messi, Latin America will be represented by his compatriot Sergio Agiero and the Brazilian Kaká, the last winner of the prize.
The 23 nomidados are complemented by Emmanuel Adebayor (Togo), Andrei Arshavin (Russia), Michael Ballack (Germany), Gianluigi Buffon (Italy), Deco (Portugal), Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast), Samuel Etoo (Cameroon), Steven Gerrard (England), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden), Frank Lampard (England), Franck Ribéry (France), John Terry (England) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (Netherlands).
The preselection was conducted by experts from the football committee of FIFA.
Despite the interest from Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, said that Ronaldo wants to play with Flamengo next season, and acknowledged that the withdrawal is a possibility if it does not recover an optimal physical condition.The Brazilian striker, almost fully recovered from his latest knee injury, told Globo TV on Monday that his days as a player in Europe could have finished even though some major clubs still interested in chips.
Ronaldo said he had very interesting discussions with Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain has shown much interest, but his first choice is the Flamengo, the most popular club in Brazil.
Flamengo is the favorite, Ronaldo said. My dream is to play with Flamengo.
The phenomenon has been training with Flamengo some months ago as part of his recovery from an operation on the left knee. The 32-year-old player broke a tendon in February in a match against Milan in the Italian league, the third major injury in his career.
Much will depend on how I feel in January, Ronaldo said. I do not want to go to Flamengo only because it is my dream, or as a favor. I have to deserve it.
I know that if we do not play well, the fans at the Maracanã abuchearán me like any other player.
Ronaldo has always said that it is fan of Flamengo.
The gunner has no club after his contract expired in Milan in June. Although it is already clinically recovered from the injury, still has not recovered his physical condition.
Ronaldo admitted that might have to retire if he can not return to play at a high level.
If in January feel like something is missing, if I realize I can not play so well as before, then I will withdraw, he said. It will not work if I'm not as fast as before. And I also have to lose weight, which would be a problem if you can not do that.
Ronaldo said he wants to continue playing, but acknowledged that this decision can not take at this time.
I want to wait until January to see if I am in condition to return to wear the shirt of a team, he said.
The previous season the Boston Celtics kicked out of the basket of oblivion two decades of frustration.It was too long voyage through the desert to Winning over the franchise of the NBA; cost too much to return to the top as well as to lose like that.
Boston part as a favorite to repeat in the blandishments of the 2008-2009 NBA season, which begins today with three matches and a main course, when the Celtics get to the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James.
The Cavs are the main challenger to have the Bostonians in the Eastern Conference, both James (30 points per game, 7.9 thefts per game and 7.2 assists per game) as the distributor for Mo Williams, who represents the " outstretched hand "that he has sought to Cleveland to its star.
However, passing the green wall of the Celtics will not be an easy task.
First, an aspect intangible, extécnico taught as the Houston Rockets, Rudy Tomjanovich: "Never underestimate the heart of a champion."
Second, the core of the Celtics, The Big Three, remained intact: Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett (who do not complete surprise at the Minnesota Timberwolves).
Third, Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins, buy The Big Three, are solid and with another year of experience, as Glen Doc Rivers, the coach who led them back to the top in the 2007-2008 campaign.
The owner of the Celtics alignment, we can say without running the risk of being taken for ignorant, is the strongest of the NBA.
The problem for the current champions may be the departure of James Posey and P. J. Brown, who gave depth to the banking system, especially Posey.
The deputies saved the utmost importance when talking point to a title.
In that sense, Tony Allen should take a role of greater importance from the bank.
Other possible obstacles in the way of green? Among the Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic.
The first technical stand, Michael Curry, because Flip Saunders is the bill passed by the elimination in the final of the Eastern Conference with the Celtics.
Orlando reached semifinals (fell to Detroit), so this new year that would be the minimum goal, especially as the Southeast Division is not distinguished by its strength. They have Dwight Howard, en route to being one of the dominant centers of all-NBA and a perimeter game that gives them a very strong attack.

The board of directors of the NBA today approved extending the use of repetitions snapshots of videos television to help referees in their work, including steps to improve the development of parties.At its annual meeting in New York, the top leadership of owners of NBA franchises selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves owner, Glen Tylor, as its new chairman.
One of the most important decisions of the meeting was that the referees can go to the video replays to see if a shot was two or three points, and to decide if tight if a player receives a lack behind the arc and has secured all three free throws on its own.
The owners also approved the use of repetition by malfunction of the clock late in the second quarter or overtime.
This measure is in response to criticism by the problems of timing that were presented during the playoff game between Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons last year.

That defeat cost more now, because by itself, Lidge and the Philadelphia Phillies World Series should be open to visitors as the Tampa Bay Rays, the team with the best record this year as local in the Major Leagues.The first game is tomorrow night in the singular Tropicana Field. The truth is that very few people imagined a Fall Classic between these two teams when, during a preseason game in March, the rookie of the Rays Evan Longoria will connect a home run to Cole Hamels.
It will be a duel between one of the oldest franchises of the largest against newer ones. The common denominator? A history of failures.
The Philadelphia is the team that accumulates more defeats in the history of professional leagues in the United States and have only once won the World Series. Laughingstock since it debuted in 1998 with Arizona, the newly-Rays last year amassed the worst mark of the largest.
But 2008 has been totally different for the Rays, with a 180 degree turn crowned on Sunday to win 3-1 to the Boston Red Sox in the decisive seventh game of the series championship in the American League.
While a series between the Chicago Cubs and Boston would have been more attractive, the presence of Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard, both winners of the Most Valuable Player Award of the National League, along with B. J. Upton, Carlos Peña, Matt Garza, Dioner Navarro and Chase Utley will allow the fan to see new faces.
And once again trigger the debate always measured in October to a team that had to fight to the last and one that comes with plenty of rest. The Philadelphia will have a week without playing at the time of the first game, after having defeated in five games to the Los Angeles Dodgers for the National League pennant.
"What matters is to emerge victorious. We would have preferred to do it in four, "said the pilot of the Rays, Joe Maddon, hours before the seventh game.
While Maddon was coach with the Angels in 2002 when it won the World Series, this pairing is characterized by a new generation of ballplayers. Only one in the Rosters have connected a hit in the classic. It is the Japanese So Taguchi, an outfielder for the Phillis.
Curious thing: the Philadelphia are the only team to which the Rays had so far taken him along their bad years. Tampa has foja of 10-5 for life in front of them.
Philadelphia is in its first World Series since 1993.
