I put these two guys on the same level. Both legends and top 10 players ever imo. Regardless of resume, who was a sicker player to watch in their prime?

Ronaldinho more fun to watch with more flair.
Cristiano way more effective.
Can't choose, love to watch both play.Comment -

Ronaldinho was a breath of fresh air, and is one to watch on the highlight reels. CR7 on the other-hand has been a beast for over 9 years and is still going strong for both club and country. And at the highest level. Only a few greats have been able to deliver such results. Dude scores goals in his sleep.Comment -
You're right Ronaldo is better all time, because he's done it for longer.
But I'm saying if you had 1 year in both guys' primes.
Who would you take?Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Didn't understand your question but may try to answer based on these concepts;
Entertainment-Ronaldinho
Efficiency-Ronaldo
Flair-Ronaldinho
IMPACT: Both or Ronaldo
Marketing: Ronaldo
Team cohesion: Ronaldinho
Result and Trophy: Ronaldo
Market value: Ronaldo
Hope this helpsComment -
In his prime no one comes close to the Brazilian Ronaldo, pure genius on the pitch, my favorite player of all time...

You cannot compare C Ronaldo to Ronaldinho. Better comparison is the other Ronaldo who was a striker.
Ronaldhinho in my opinion is a much better player for the team as an all rounder....he can control the game playing midfield or striker but he mostly plays midfield. Ronaldo is a finisher/striker with good ball handling skills but ronaldhinho is a much better ball handler. Ronaldo has more goals because he is a striker and plays his entire career basically on offensive allstar teams. don't get me wrong, he is very good and probably one of the best strikers but he is very overrated football player.Comment -
Ronaldhinho the mike Tyson of SoccerComment -
Can't stand either.Comment -
Ronaldhino hands down. Cristiano can't seem to create his own goals. many of his stuff comes when his teammates put it right at his feet in front of the goal. dhino on the other hand was a great dancer. Also Christiano has never been able to carry his national team on the world stage. That Euro championship was very lucky, not impressed with cristiano.Comment -
Christiano about 3-4 years ago in his prime was unstoppable man. No one can guard that guy 1 on 1. He's still the 2nd best player in the world today, but in his prime, I think he was just surrounded with shit talent on his national teams.Originally posted by ManOfValue
Ronaldhino had Ronaldo Carlos Robhino, Kaka, all these different talented guys that gave him more playmaking opportunities.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
both great players in their prime but still no one to this day can touch Diego Maradona or Pele...IMO, the two best ever hands down...more contemporary or recently, I would say that Lionel Messi and Zidine Zidane were better than both Christiano Ronaldo and Ronaldhino...one of the most underrated players of all time is Ruud Van Nistelrooy of the Netherlands...
Comment -
To be honest, I think the way Zidine's career ended with the head butt red card was one of the biggest disappointments in the hostory of the game...Guy completely lost it...Originally posted by Da Manster!both great players in their prime but still no one to this day can touch Diego Maradona or Pele...IMO, the two best ever hands down...more contemporary or recently, I would say that Lionel Messi and Zidine Zidane were better than both Christiano Ronaldo and Ronaldhino...one of the most underrated players of all time is Ruud Van Nistelrooy of the Netherlands...Comment -
Pele was the best ever by a mile.Comment -
no argument here...but I was looking at the big picture from a macro standpoint....his accomplishments as a player is easily top 10 of all-time...Originally posted by funnyb25

I would be too if I played against kids in my backyard.Originally posted by SnowballComment -
Lol we're not talking about the best ever
And to me you guys say Pele or Maradona but if Messi wins a world cup which he should next year it won't even be a discussion anymore
By far the most world player of the year awards
most la Liga titles
all the records
World Cup player of the tournament
Needs a chip to cement himself as the GOAT
Oh yeah and he's still going. 5 years left at least.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Zidane> RonaldinhoComment -
ronaldinho was a tubby little bitch.Comment -
PeleComment -
Feel like Ronaldinho was better at this peak. So creative + a handful to stop.
The offense funnels thru CRonaldo on any team he's on. Somewhat a function of many attempts. That said, uber-productive and did it longer than Ronaldinho.
Once Ronaldinho got his $$, he lost the hunger for the game. And gained a hunger for McDonald's.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Zidane class is above this twoOriginally posted by wikkidinsaneComment -
At their primes, Ronaldinho in a heartbeat.Comment -
Now we know Cristiano Ronaldo enjoys giving his smoking hot pregnant girlfriend some supporting love taps ... and she enjoys providing him with beautiful scenery.
The football star and his expecting gf, Georgina Rodriguez, cozied up on a luxury yacht in Ibiza last week ... clearly enjoying each other's company.
Georgina's pregnant with kid #4 for CR7 and wasn't afraid to show off her baby bump in her tiny red bikini. Luckily for Cristiano -- and all of us -- she's showed off a lot more than that too.

Ronaldo is the greatest of all time... so obviously CR.Comment -

CR the greatest of all time?

Pele is / was the greatest player to ever play the game. His 1281 lifetime goals, are still more then double then the next in line. ( Franz Binder , 1930's ). Anyone else is just a discussion as to whom you believe was 2nd best.
It is a debate that has so many variables to it. Most effective ? Most skilled ? Most impactful ? Longevity ?
My personal list is based on all of the above
2. Messi
3. Johan Cryuff
4. Maradonna
5. Garincha
Special mention...... Eusebio , Puskas , Ronaldo , Platini ......
Ronaldinho was a pleasure to watch, but even in his prime, does'nt stack up against " The Greats " imo.

I disagree on Ronaldinho, but the rest of your list is pretty damn good. I think a ranking with number 1/2/3 etc is unfair though.Originally posted by franz555Pele is / was the greatest player to ever play the game.

On a sidenote: there are players who put up massive numbers and I still wouldn't pay a cent to watch them play.
And then there are guys like (just to name a few) Garrincha (he was the alegria do povo for the people, not Pelé), Fritz Walter, Mehmet Scholl, Dennis Bergkamp, Cruyff, Ronaldinho, Matthias Sindelar etc. I LOVED to watch them play this game and I would kill to have watched a few of them play....Comment -
Nobody was a bigger game player than Ronaldo on a long-term basisComment -

Pele put in more then double the years and triple the output. in 1958, as a 17 year old BOY, Pele won the world cup for Brazil with 2 goals.
" Bigger game player " ????
i am assuming you are under the age of 30 and have very little exposure to anything prior to the last few years. Either way, Messi is still the " bigger game player " then Ronaldo. He makes EVERYONE around him better, not just in a Brylcreme commercial.Comment -
Cristiano Ronaldo had one hell of a three-minute stretch.
First, he scored the go-ahead goal in the Supercopa de Espana first leg for Real Madrid against Barcelona, before going on to receive a yellow card for taking off his shirt during the celebration.
Then, he earned another yellow for a perceived dive just moments later, which earned him a red card and a boot from the game. Ronaldo didn’t take too well to the news, shoving the official on his way off the field.
The red card will mean he will also be held out for the second leg of the Supercup on Wednesday when the two teams reconvene.
