Scott-RFC 308 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Ronaldinho is probably my favourite player of all time, but I think Messi shades him at the minute. And especially is he manages to keep this level up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then his Utd team mates let him down and they fell away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Ronaldinho thinks that Messi is better than him, so that'll answer that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappa 24 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Messi. Ronaldinho never had the goals that Messi has. Messi has the ability to beat people the way Ronaldinho did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 It has to be Messi.Don't get me wrong though, I fucking loved watching Gaucho in his prime :praise: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Sasac 164 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I'd have to say Messi. What I don't understand, is that people are saying he is not truly the greatest ever unless he wins the World Cup. Why is George Best thought of by some as the greatest player ever then?

Guest SandyIniesta-Nordahl Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 When Ronaldinho won World Player of the Year, he conceded he wasn't even the best player at his club, referring to Messi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I will be totally honest, I was never a big fan of Ronaldinho in his prime. Yes he had all the talent in the world, but his work rate and off the ball attributes annoyed me alot.For me Messi is in a different planet from Ronaldinho.

Amac9 2,060 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I completely went off Ronaldinho when Barca faced celtc in the CL. He completely shit himself when Bobo Balde got near him an he never touched the ball after that. Would Messi do that though?Although I watched Barcelona in La Liga just so I could see Ronaldinho. Not many players score a hat trick against their fiercest rivals and get applauded off the pitch. That was special! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
