Cristiano Ronaldo v Fernando Torres (Group A)
(Group A: Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres, Dani Alves, Luka Modric)
So, the first tie of Pies’ “Best Player in the World” World Cup, and it’s a belter. C-Ron is undoubtedly one of the pre-tournament favourites, but Nando Torres – no slouch himself – could spring a surprise in the opener.
Vote below for your winner…


I didn’t want to make this too complicated, so you can vote for whichever player you think is better, or if you think it’s too close to call, vote for a draw. I really wanna see those fingers…

The vote will remain open until the end of the group stages, then I’ll add up the votes to see which two players from each group will go through.
