He cannot bench anybody in that XI. He's just fortunate he's injury free and has longevity.


Wen we talking premier league best in history, thierry Henry
When we talking laliga best in history, Lionel Messi.
When we talking Seria A best player in history, Paolo maldini
And these are all d leagues tapnaldo fans are always hyping him yet he's not d best in their history.
But CR7 was the only player that survived and conquered these 3 top leagues. He won the league's cup, highest goal scorer and best player in each of these leagues.

We are talking of World Football and not Continental leagues. This is the reason most of you fail exams.
You can't use Europe to assess the entire world.
IF you keep using Europe, what's the essence of the FiFa world cup tournament?
Some Brazilian clubs go beat Barca and Real Madrid home and away. Don't you know.

I'm a Messi Fan, But CR7 surely deserve a place in that XI.

Zico ahead of Cr7? No oh.

Even Delima sef, History will remember Cr7 more than him.

Prime Cr7 is a better player than De lima was, let's forget sentiments.

I watched them all. Most of them live matches.
When you talk about beauty; when you talk about insane skills; when you talk about total football, CR7 does not come around those men.

He largely earned his place in history because his goals output. Aside from that e no follow. I watched Zico physically and CR7 does not compare in anyway.

Again for me, among the greats must be Zinedan Zidane. A total footballer with great control and insane skills.

U are only just a bad belle to CR and nothing else. C Ronaldo does not need a world cup medal to prove his worth, because that's a whole team achievement and not an individual achievement. Ronaldinho was still young when C Ronaldo and Messi started dominating the game. Why didn't him prove his worth by pulling a challenge with them?

If a single player can win the a cup, Messi wouldn't have wait till 16yrs when his career was coming to an end before winning the world cup. He would have long won it within 2010-2018 when he was still very strong in the game.

Brazil has always been a football nation and have already won the World Cup 3 Times before Delima Ronaldo came in. Delima Ronaldo was only lucky to come from a football nation like Brazil, if it happen to have been in Portuguese team, he wouldn't have won the world cup as well.


Good to know. That means Ucl success dey always use to hype Tapnaldo is pure and total team success not his individual effort.


Coz since Tapnaldo left real Madrid baba never win ballon dor and he's not winning ballon dor again.

How can you soil such a list with someone without a world cup medal, not even Bronze.
What will you say to Alfredo Di' Stafino and Joan Cryff?
You Guys should think naaaa....

Except he will forge a world cup medal and compel FIFA to announce him as a world cup winner.
He should meet APC for Online courses!

That same man has 5 balon d'ors. I think hanging around penalty boxes pays

It pays to score goals only. But from the list you can see that it does not pay when the greatest players are mentioned. Rashidi Yekini still better pass am.

What do you want to talk about Football that CR7 cannot or has never done before? Is it dribbling, free-kick, Assist, team work/motivation, heading, long shot, speed, ball control, agility, passing, scoring etc.

When you hate somebody, you'll never talk anything good about that person.

I don't need to make use of Google.........I watched the 1994,1998,2002,2006,2010.......2022 worldcup with my two eye.

Someone like you lying boldly Ronaldo (won) two world cup for Brazil is outright ridiculous.
He actually really broke out in Olympics Atlanta 1996 for Brazil which we won
1994 he was still a teenager and was never a starter in that team.....we just part of the team and didn't play any major role towards them winning
Just answer the question.
Does the Great Fenomeno have two world cup medals or not..? It's simple. Stop calling me a liar, rather post the answer here. We are educated. Let's not look like fools

Am a die hard Messi fan and a Barca fan...but Ronaldo should have been in the list, the five time ballon d or winner is arguably better than Ronaldinho
well it's his own list... Another would do and exclude Messi... Besides no list would even be accepted by all self... Pple like Johan cruff of Holland no de... Zidane uncore... That's why the argument of Best of all times is just for entertainment and there can never be a winner..

Football no be by statpadding against inexperienced footballers in a lowly rated and inconsequential desert league, Abi against weaker European teams like Estonia, Luxembourg ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚, or by being the player with the highest penalty goals in the history of the game. Football is beyond jumping into sky screaming sui after scoring against imbeciles, weda na stolen, tapin or pk. The real legends looks beyond mediocrity, opinions of the sui fanbase does matter in the scheme of things, it will start and end on social with likes and engagements, but history will always remember Leo Messi as the only certified GOAT in the history of football alongside other legends like Pele, Maradona, the real Ronaldo Nezario, Zidane just to mention few.

Leo completed football last year, nah freestyle mode we dey now. If penaldo like make e score 3000 goals, he will always be behind Messi in the history books. Why e no score those goals when Portugal need am against Morocco ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

8th Ballon dโ€™or loading later this month, i canโ€™t wait for penadogs to scream rigged ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚, una tears too sweet

I am an Arsenal fan. So I'm not a fan of any of the clubs Ronaldo has played for. But saying all these rubbish against one of the most decorated footballers in the history of the game is height of stupidity. He is also joint highest paid footballer with Benzema at the moment. You Nigerians should stop displaying stupidity everywhere na. I bet it will be a dream come true if you can only achieve 1% of what CR7 has achieved or just 1% of his total worth. 1% of his worth is 8 Billion Naira. So think about it, senseless football fan.

And on what ground is Delima Ronaldo greater than CR? Give ur reasons


I watched young Ronaldo in 94, there were flashes of great things to come. the likes of Dunga, romario, bebeto etc were senior men then. Then come 96 olympic, 98 world cup, tru to early 2000s, Ronaldo cemented his status as one of the best and greatest footballer ever. World footballer award x3. Ballon dor x2. World cup. He's not just depending on other players, his individual contribution came out.


Won golden ball for 98 individual brilliant performance. Tapnaldo has been in world cup for almost 20 years, no brilliant individual contribution. No golden ball. No bronze medal. After leaving Madrid, no more ucl. No more ballon dor.

Excuses everywhere!
Wey the World cup medal naaaa?
So Portugal has always been a Swimming Nation...yet they produced the great Eusebio, Figo and Deco.
How can you add someone without a single world cup BRONZE medal to such a revered list when everyone one that list is a world cup medalist with stunning contributions.
You should be fighting for Zidane to be there and not the Penalty Goat.
Let's be frank, who CR7 wan bench there?
He can't even bench the Goalkeeper.
We are not talking of Europe here
Now it's time for World Football
At the bolded, and why didn't those great guys won the Euro competition talk more of winning the world cup?

I don't know who C Ronaldo is going to bench on that team, but if C Ronaldo happen to be in that team, the coach is definitely going to change formation to make sure C Ronaldo plays.

And mind u, I don't rate C Ronaldo base on the Uefa champions league that he has won, neither do I rated any player base on team achievement, I always do my ratings base on individual achievements. And that's why I always rate Messi in high esteem.

You see what I'm talking about. Outside Brazil that happened to be the greatest national team the World has ever seen, u couldn't rate Delima Ronaldo anywhere else. If C Ronaldo happen to have been that Brazil squad of the 1990s and early 2000s,he would have also do great things for himself too.

That is what I'm saying. He had other players supporting him in man UTD and Madrid. That is why he couldn't transform the success to Portugal in world cup. 20 years in world cup and euros no MVP.
