Brilliant yes, team player? No it is all about Cristiano that alone discounts him. His obsession with Messi alone makes him more like a Tim and their obsession with us.

folkestoneger 8,084 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 He's Portugal's all time top goal scorer...Dalglish is our top scorer but has still achieved nothing in the grand scheme of things.( internationals)I meant when you compare him to say Maradona who starred when Argentina won the WC or Pele who was in 3 winning sides or Xavi or Iniesta who were in a side that were World and Euro champions at the same time.Great player yes. Best footballer ever?not for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy 1,308 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I saw him play for Hibs at Ibrox in the early 80s. He was clearly past his peak, but he still drew a big crowd. I think Rangers won 2-1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,682 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Impossible to prove as he has done nothing internationally. Not even the current best imoHe plays for a god awful country no one could take that Portugal side to glory.His record speaks for its self he is the best in the world and that makes him arguably the best ever as this generations players Are better than what has gone before due to how much ability is required now.

His obsession with Messi alone makes him more like a Tim and their obsession with us.Yes Cristiano Ronaldo can do everything to a higher standard than anyone else could.There are better dribblers Messi being one of them, Better in the air Alan Shearer being one but for all round game no one touches Cristiano Ronaldo.

tannerall 25,935 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 George Best, David Ginola, Liam Brady, Ian Rush, Eric Cantona, Ryan Giggs, Duncan Edwards Alfredo De Stefano and Kirk Broadfoot..Anyone guess what all these great players had in common ?None of them played in a world cup finals.Best was briefly considered for Northern Ireland's 1982 squad aged 36, but it had been 5 years since his previous cap.

harlands plater 16,958 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Will Cristiano Ronaldo be remembered fondly in 20 or 30 or 40 years time, the way Pele, Matadona, Best, Cruyff are now? Maybe by Cristiano Ronaldo, yes. I bet Eusebio is longer remembered as the greatest Portuguese footballer than "CR7" is. And ego has a lot to do with that.

Johnny Dangerously 7,562 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 On the pitch Best was a class act and he had to put up with a lot of shit that the modern player doesn't have to worry about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,682 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 What does he do better than Messi?Better in the air, better striker, scores more goals, is Imo more capable of that individual piece of magic that can save a match.
