The amazing performance by Cristiano Ronaldo last night in Solna has completely overturned the betting markets for the FIFA Ballon dOr 2013 winner, AS reported on Wednesday morning. The Portuguese, who until last night was second favourite behind Franck Ribery, has for the first time moved in front of the Frenchman. His exhibition, and the extension of the voting, have been decisive. Furthermore Lionel Messi has been left way back in third place. However, that date has now been extended to Friday Nov. 29, and votes can be changed to take into account recent performances -- such as Ronaldos spectacular hat trick on Tuesday against Sweden which clinched Portugals place at next summers World Cup finals in Brazil.This actually shows its not the season in retrospect but the year in view..I read dat in d internet yesterday and i believe FIFA wants to favour him 4 d 1st time dis year..Bcos they actually shifted that date cos of him, and this is the 1st time recent performances might be considered..its not the first time recent performance is considered.When sneider did not win it after his outstanding performance in retrospect it was said that he could not keep up when it matter most which is at the heat of the voting
