One of the best ever hangs up his shoes

**RbN** · 02-14-11, 10:37 AM

One of the best ever? Are you kidding me

Pele, Maradona, Cruijff, Beckenbauer, Eusebio, Romario etc.....Ronaldo is not in this list.

**blackf1re** · 02-14-11, 10:37 AM

Possibly the greatest ever player.

Even the home fans applauded when he was subbed.

**latinrus** · 02-14-11, 10:43 AM

Great Player!

You really followed some part of the career of this player to say that

Why do you think he is not listed

Just curious to know why you do not think he was one of the best in the world.
However, I respect your opinion.

**latinrus** · 02-14-11, 11:06 AM

He played for 4 great Teams!

PSV, Barca, Madrid, Inter! And still that way he's not good?

C'mon RbN!

**Soon2BRich** · 02-14-11, 11:06 AM

More WC goals than any of those. The most feared striker ever.

Hey pal, I never said he isn't good, he has been great. But I just wont name him between the best players ever like Beckenbauer, Cruijff, Pele, Maradona, Eusebio. Real architects of football, who takes their team by the hands.

ah yeah, lets judge by the number of goals of someone being among the greatest ever. Guess Van Nistelrooy will be among the greatest ever also? They where happy when he left Man Utd.

He's been a great player thats for sure, one of the best ever, no!

Van Basten, Eusebio, Gerd Muller?

Then i'm not taking Pele, Maradona etc. in account, since their more attacking midfielders.

He is among the best Stikers maybe, but not among the best players ever.

ok then how do YOU; the expert on all football and footballing matters; judge greatness?

**blackf1re** · 02-14-11, 11:18 AM

Rio Ferdinand today on Twitter:

"RONALDO has retired from football...1 of best to ever play the game - injuries prevented him being best ever. gonna have a minutes silence.."

then in response to someone claiming Cristiano is better:

"slap yourself...he won WC + top scorer ever in WC history..."

And he has played with or against them. There is absolutely no doubt that Ronaldo was among the best ever.

He is better than those. He did it on every stage. His strike record at every level is fantastic. All different leagues. He is the best striker ever.

**RubberKettle** · 02-14-11, 11:19 AM

he is one of only two men to have won the fifa award three times

Sure he is better then those, get real.

Either you havent seen Gerd Muller, Van Basten or Eusebio play or your just dumb.

**RubberKettle** · 02-14-11, 11:22 AM

I have seen them all play. Not live, but I have seen them.

Then don't quote the wrong post kiddo, cuz we were taking about best strikers ever. As I said, Ronaldo is surely among the best strikers ever, but not among the best players ever.

Pele
Cruijff
Maradona
Di Stefano
Puskas
Beckenbauer
Platini
Eusebio
Best
Zidane
Van Basten

etc.

**JOHON8** · 02-14-11, 11:32 AM

I'll always remember that WC final in Korea/Japan, what a player.

Anyone who says he isn't top 10 in history doesn't know their football. He was the best player of his generation alongside Zidane.

**Soon2BRich** · 02-14-11, 11:35 AM

PEOPLE PLEASE!!!!!! DONT U ALL KNOW THAT RbN KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL. RbN IS THE FOOTBALL GOD AND HIS WORDS ARE HIS SERMONS, LEARN FROM THEM!!

**RubberKettle** · 02-14-11, 11:35 AM

RbN post some plays? I wanna see your knowledge oh mighty one.

PS I'm 25

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 admire all those players on the list. But there is only 9 of them there, add Ronaldo to make it the top 10 and stop insulting people because of their opinions.

Does everyone have to agree with you?

**blackf1re** · 02-14-11, 11:39 AM

You really talk some serious shit sometimes RbN (and this is not about different opinions). No offense. But I've noticed this in other threads as well.

FWIW Maradona is a tough one but Ronaldo was imo better than all the others you have listed. Certainly the best striker of all time for me.

Read back to post number 5 when you tell me about insulting. I didn't start it, i'm just giving a opinion and then im a clown and don't know anything. Right

I won't even put Ronaldo in 10. Gerd Muller, Van Basten, Just Fontaine.
