I believe football truly exemplifies a passion for sport.  In this sense the game differs from all others.  The game of football almost speaks as a universal language, since it is played and enjoyed in so many countries and regions across the earth.  As the World Cup in Germany draws near, my anticipipation builds as I'm sure it does within the minds and hearts of various footballers and football fans across the globe. \n\nMy faviourite footballer, without question, is Dennis Bergkamp.  I grew up watching him play for Ajax and feel as though he has revolutionized the game with a patient attacking style that so few players can master.  Both his playmaking ability and clinical finishing have allowed him the remain on the playing field for all these years.  And now, as his time draws to an end, I bid him a warmhearted fairwell.  He will always be remembered by the Dutch masses, the Highbury faithful, and football fans around the world.

(FIFA.com) 19 Dec 2005\n\nBest soccer player in the world is Ronaldinho!\n\nBrazil's Ronaldinho dedicated his second consecutive FIFA Player of the Year to, "his team mates, his family and God" at tonight's prize ceremony at Zurich Opera House while the two players who had been shortlisted for the first time, Frank Lampard and Samuel Eto'o, were both gracious in defeat - considering it almost a victory to lose to the Barcelona-based magician. \nRonaldinho:\nI would like to dedicate this award to all my team mates at my club, my family - who have always stuck by me during the difficult times and to God for given me the health to do what I enjoy doing which is playing football. Any one of us could have won the award, it's a dream come true for all of us.\n\nAfter winning this award I want to help my team by producing my best form. I want to go on helping my team mates and be worthy of representing the team. I'm getting ready for the World Cup - I want to go back to Brazil with another title.\n\nI'm the happiest man on earth - I play for a great team, I have lots of friends, people appreciate the way I play, they appreciate my club and I want to continue to give happiness.
