Cristiano Ronaldo is leading the race to win this year's FIFA Ballon d'or award. The Portuguese star helped Portugal to qualify for Brazil 2014 World cup in a grand style. The 2008 World best player scored a hat trick against Sweden in Stockholm after his eye catching flying header gave his team a 1-0 win in Lisbon
Ronaldo continued his scoring spree by netting his 68th goal of 2013 in Real Madrid's 5-0 thumping of Almeria over the weekend.
FIFA's decision to extend the voting of the award winner till next Friday is an indication that the soccer ruling body want to ensure that Ronaldo gets the award ahead of Lionel Messi who is currently nursing an injury.
The incitement by FIFA that voters can edit their previous choice is another pointer towards Ronaldo's quest to win the award for the second time in his career.
