Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo is on a three-man shortlist for Fifa's world player of the year award.
The 22-year-old Portugal winger is up against AC Milan's Brazilian star Kaka, who is the favourite, and Argentine Lionel Messi, who plays for Barcelona.
It is the first time any of the trio have been shortlisted for the award, which was won by Italy defender Fabio Cannavaro in 2006.
The award will be made at Fifa's world player gala in Zurich on 17 December.
If Ronaldo wins he will be the first player from an English club to claim the award.
The award is voted for by the managers and captains of the national teams of Fifa's member countries.

well, i do know many people think the fifa awards are a joke, but i can't help being pleased to know that cristiano is on the three-man shortlist Smiley i guess kaka is going to land this one too, so i'm not keeping my hopes up. 2nd place would be decent i guess.
