I'm going to change my avatar in honor of one of the greatest ever as Kitty has done. Anyone else want to follow go ahead.

I'm gonna miss Ronaldo playing and that signature bicycle-like dancing around the ball of his. I really feel football is poorer without him. He could of been even greater if he would of shaken off some of his laziness and appetite for fast food and Cola.

I was the only one who called you a clown and juding by your posts in this thread I was right. I did not call you a clown because you dont agree with me, you are free to have and share your opinions. Its the way you present them, your first post "One of the best ever? Are you kidding me " Right off the bat you come off like a fukin douche, laughing at my opinion. Then you continue throughout the thread, arguing and talking to people like you know everything. You call people kids because they dont agree with you, thats just a way for you to feel superior huh? like you are bigger and better then everyone else. Fukin laughable.

You could have posted in a better manner and I would have accepted that. Just look at what you have done with this thread...

well said

I'm not sure how Maradona is a tough one He led Napoli to their only two Serie A titles in history then led Argentina to a world cup victory with some dominant performances. [5 goals and 5 assists in the tourney] Maradona, Pele and Cruijff are on a level by themselves then the rest follow imo I'd happily list Ronaldo as a top 10/15 player of all time and the best/second best of his generation.

Agree, nice view sir!

[thekid667]

Dennis Bergcamp was a good one! Ill never forget his goal in the citrus bowl at the 95 world cup Holland vs. Morocco. I was sixteen years old sitting in the stands and the atmosphere was unforgettable.

[Jimmy0607]

In my eyes hes a traitor

Barcelona then Played for Madrid

Inter then Played For Ac Milan

He did all his recovery with Flamengo and when he recovered signed with Corinthians

[donsirlisir]

He's among the greatest strikers ever, not among the greatest players. If you think he is as good as guys like;

Pele
Cruijff
Maradona
Di Stefano
Puskas
Beckenbauer
Platini
Eusebio
Best

You dont have a clue about football and I would recommend you to view some of these architects.

I agree with you. ronaldo is one of the greatest strikers but he has no place in top 20 greatest players.

Not really, but I suggest you find a girl.

[Jimmy0607]

Come on guys be easy

[dee_jas]

was agreat player, not many of his type round today, football will miss him.

[latinrus]

Are you ****ing kidding me?

He is better than all your players on any list, he's already played enough to show you no one will come close to his skill.

In this I've to agree with RnB!

Messi is still far from being one of the best! He plays good and everything but still have to show some more!

[TurkzZ]

best striker iv ever seen,

[Daveyboy]

He was unstoppable for that one season at Barca!! What a player. Shame about his knee and diet, but hats off to him in the late 90s

[phenomenon]

come on guys, we are talking about ronaldo... he is legendary striker... if anyone wanna be a striker, should follow RONALDO...
green pitches will miss you

[JOHON8]

That is pure Madrid bias right there. I know you love your team, but that doesn't mean you should hate everything about Barcelona.

you can't handle it that someone agrees with me, lovely. Now your even saying someone is not objective in this case.

not at all buddy!

I recognize players of Barca for Example Xavi or Iniesta!

Messi still have to show a sh*tload to be there IMO!

Especially with the Argentinian National team!

Agree, Xavi and Iniesta are the key factors of Barca's and Spain's success. This is hard to understand for guys like Johon who only stares at total amount of goals being scored by a player, to say if he's good or not.

I like your objective view, even that you support Madrid

This is amazing to me that you think Messi isn't good enough. Amazing. And don't use the Argentina NT excuse, Messi was the player of the tournament for a crappy team that Maradona was coaching.

No one is saying Messi isn't good.

[JOHON8]

No one is saying Messi isn't good.

Of course not because you would look retarded and you know that. But you are clearly doubting him as a legend which is your way of showing your jealousy towards him.

Every great player has his hater.

If you don't know what to say anymore, just say someone is a hater . Way to go buddy. People are just discussing here, no need to throw these terms around.

Just accept it that 2 or more people does not agree with you sometimes.

[OGUCCI-SBR]

Anyways, fcuk it....no need to discuss history with kiddo's who are staring at "total goals".

Name me a better striker?

You talk about How it takes more than goals to become the Greatest player and Ronaldo has nothing but some insignificant Goal-records (including the WC one) and THEN...you bring up this player !?

Van Basten, Eusebio, Gerd Muller

Either you havent seen Gerd Muller play or your just dumb.

I mean, seriously... I've never questioned Muller's productiveness or hard work but even the football experts or the most biased fans agree that he had nothing but his goalscoring instinct. And how is he so much better than Ronaldo who had sick skills, acceleration and goals.

Did I say Gerd Muller is one of the worlds best players? No, I said he's one of the worlds best strikers ever just as I said about Ronaldo. Gerd Muller had a sick tor instict, true......

Dude, come on.... If Ronaldo is one of the greatest strikers and Muller is better than him - doesn't that make Muller one of the greatest players ever ?
Surely every player being considered better than Ronaldo is automatically One of the best ever, no? (and Ronaldo already is on that list btw )
Just can't understand how (under your GOALS_DONT_MEAN_SHIT conditions) Muller is better.
Stop playing.

Haha, give me a break. Among the best strikers of the world doesnt mean they are among the best players ever. Read back in this topic to get an insight about my opinion and some who agrees. Either Muller, Ronaldo etc. is not among Pele, Maradona and Cruijff. Those are players who make the team, "architects" and allows others to get to a higher level also.

[SoV]

One of the best players, and the best striker, I've witnessed. Absolutely unplayable on his day.

I grew up up this guy, he is a LEGEND!
