Living Legends
Cristiano Ronaldo scoops two PFA awards, making him the youngest ever player to seal two awards, PFA Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year awards in a year. He won the awards with such a fashion, once being England N0. 1 public enemy over the World Cup bust-up with Wayne Rooney, which ended with Cristiano Ronaldo making up with Rooney by supplying loads of passes and goals for Rooney to finish, and securing United's spot at the top of the league few months later.

And just a week ago, a starlet by the name Lionel Messi brought back one of the sweet est reminiscence in modern football history, when he impersonated his idol, his ancestor and every football fans darling, Diego Armando Maradona, by scoring a wonder Maradona-like goal against Getafe in Barcelona 5-2 riot at the Nou Camp. He get through pass defenders with almost the same fashion like Maradona did, but with a little more pace. And how I reacted when watching the replay was, unbelievable.

We are staring at the living legends of football. The future is now. But the likes of Mokhtar Dahari, Ghani Minhat and Soh Chin Aun are yet to come. Sigh.

P.S. I want to have Cristiano's Mercurial Vapor but it was a huge letdown since the price is RM599. Sial punya MARA, bagi RM50 je sebulan.
