Who do you think is better and why? The Brazilian pair are superstars on the domestic and international fronts, and despite their very different styles of play, they both score goals and set up plenty more. Let us know who you prefer and why.</p><p style="clear:both"><strong>FIFA.com</strong> has decided to give fans even more of a say. Every second Tuesday, the official FIFA website will throw a subject out for discussion; a topic that supporters around the world are all talking about. Then it is up to you to get the debate going. Footballing rules apply of course: play fair and keep it clean and sensible.</p><p style="clear:both">This week's topic is about two exceptional players, Kaka and Ronaldinho. Both are Brazilian (and friends, in fact) and both play starring roles for one of the world's top clubs. But who in your opinion is the superior player and why? Do the Barcelona man's runs, jinks and passes edge it over the AC Milan standout's shooting and overall influence on the game? Or is it the other way around? You be the judge.</p><p style="clear:both">"I know that he's been a top player for a number of years. I watched him grow up in Sao Paulo. He went to Manchester and played in front of the incredible supporters they have there against some really tough opponents and he never flinched," said Ronaldinho on his compatriot's performance at Old Trafford in the UEFA Champions League last term. <br/><br/>"He was the best player on the pitch, he kept going forward, and everything he did was full of finesse. He looked capable of scoring a crucial goal every time he was on the ball. Kaka has become a real all-round player, no doubt about it."</p><p style="clear:both">It is over to you.
