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

Da Lima needed forwards who could also create and drop down to center as well as they can score goals.

C.Ronaldo can't do any of the 1st two things I mentioned as much as Ronaldinho or Messi.

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.
In a standard Brazilian team Penaldo will be dwarfed completely. He will be coming from the Bench regularly to take penalties. Who will he bench?
Is it Rivaldo, Zico, Robinho, Ronaldinho, Juninho, Pele, Garrincha, Socrates, Dennilson, Fenomeno, Bebeto, KaKa, Roberto Carlos, Dunga, ....
He can only bench Fred, Fabiano, Gabriel Jesus

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

2 WC like he place a single minute in his first ... he contributed nothing....just like Messi contributed nothing in his first CL ...

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.

How and where did u watch Ronaldo in 94??

Even though he didnt kick a ball for a sec in 1994 world cup as Ronario and Bebeto were the top dogs then. Easy with the hyperbole.

The Most Lethal 9 in History has said it all.
D only 9 with the most outrageous match to goal ratio.
The only 9 who ensured Brazil got to 3 world cup finals in a row and he won 2 world cups for Brazil.

Anyone that watched Ronaldinho at his peak will know he's arguably one of the best players ever.

He is the last breed of the true Brazilian football (except for Neymar who didn't quite get there)

The years Ronaldinho won best players of the year, it was so undisputed even with a peak Thierry Henry.
Lol...I am a die hard Barca fan ... never supported any other club except Barcelona...
Football is a game of numbers..I rather have a player score goals for me than dribble the whole players and not hit the back of the net .. with all Ronaldo has done for both club and country he deserves a place on that list and no other person can go except Ronaldinho
C Ronaldo, is no doubt good and he scores goals, but he's not halfway a complete footballer as Ronaldinho was.

Unfortunately, football this days is evaluated based on numbers and statistics.

By the way, you can't be a Barca fan, except you've only recently become one

Both Argentina and Brazil have been winning World Cup b4 Messi and Ronaldo nazario. Not a huge achievement especially for messi who lost several World cups disappointingly that he retired 3times from his national team and finally won through controversial penalties.

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.
How didn't him transform his success to Portugal? Do u even watch football at all? Does not winning the tournament means that he didn't played his best for team? The only time Portugal managed to reach the world cup semis was the 2006 world, which happened to be C Ronaldo first World Cup, and if u were already watching football then, u will knew Ronaldo played a key part for them to attain that height in world cup football.

Mind u, C Ronaldo won the euro 2016 with Portugal(the only time they have won it) , so u can't said he wasn't successful with the national team.

Where ballon dor winners of three and above are talking, 2 should shut up. Zidane is in his class and is more successful, both as a player and coach. If he makes his own list, CR7 will make it. There are other stars apart from this Ronaldo. Let him rest

He only participated in 2 world cups 1998 and 2002
He was and unused teenage sub in 1994. it was Bebeto and Romario that spearhead the attack in 1994.

Rest. Did I say he play? Typical of tapnaldo fans, rushing to defend fraudnaldo without calming down. Without flashes, will he be selected?

Tapinaldo stans. The 9th best player in history. Infact, this R9 list is legit. The only player that I will fight to enter is Zidane. Not tapnaldo

Abeg make we hear word. You are saying its not by stats but by what? By nepotism i guess cause the list is filled with 75% Brazilians.

Even with the so called Brazilians they omitted Dani Alves of all people, no defensive midfielder and used 4 attacking midfielder.

Thats his opinion... He's just a football player not an expert.

If we are to judge individually between him and CR7, he doesn't even stand a chance. Either by goals or art of goal scoring or assist or completeness(weak foot, right foot and ariel prowess) or longevity.

He should just be grateful to have played among great players in his national team. He played alongside 4 different world best and world class players from defense to attack and managed by grade A coaches. Talk about winning a world cup without playing 2secs in the tournament tells the caliber of players in the team.

A key part indeed and he didn't motivate them to bronze medal at least. EUSEBIO MOTIVATED PORTUGAL TO BRONZE MEDAL AT THE WORLD CUP. u talking as if tapnaldo is d only Portugal legend.


If he's dat brilliant individually on d pitch, he wud have won MVP. Ronaldo de Lima won World cup golden ball same for messi x2, zidane, maradona, Pele, so u see there is no place for Tapnaldo wen we talking about football greats in top 5 or 6. Na help from casemiro, modric, Marcello, kroos, Rooney, evra, scholes in Madrid n man utd etc help d werey to dey hype himself.


He won euro, if he's so good, why didn't he win MVP?

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.

Where is the hate coming from? You do not hate any sportsperson for any reason. No sport is simple. You at your age cannot stand up now and decide to for example play table tennis at a professional level.

Look at Ronaldo’s game more closely and check out all those mentioned. There are those who are talented and there are those who worked to get there. Ronaldo worked very hard, undisputably, to get there. The rest were born soccer players. With them, it is not all about gra gra.

By the way, how have you called Ronaldo a team player? Are you mistaken?
