Stupid list nondisrespect to nassario

But zico was a classic 10..so was maradona.

Who play 2/no. 10 with no DM.

No wonder many of this great players make awful coaches.

Ronaldo is not my man but he will be in the greatest team of all time. I don't care what anyone thinks. Prime Ronaldo was God among men leave it so.

So how.many Gold medals does he have?
That has been the question...and how many does Tapnaldo have to be qualified for such enlistment?

Delima should count himself lucky to have won the w/cups. Not only did he play alongside 4 different players with 'fifa world best' but was surrounded by world class players from keeper to attack throughout his career 1994-2006. i purposely highlighted the 1994 world cup cos he couldn't replace anybody on the team. In 2002, he didn't even play any club football due to injury, yet they won with him cos they only needed a striker to finish their work. Do u remember that they failed at the quarterfinals in 2006 w/cup with that super team cos he couldnt score a goal. A team that had kaka, ronaldinho,robinho,pernabuncano, adriano, carlos, cafu, dida, lucio, emerson, gilberto silva etc lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed Dey play...

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.

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

The guy is obviously not a Barca fan. The only area Ronaldo is better than Dinho is on goals and that's because he is a striker while Dinho was an attacking midfielder.

If not stupidity who compares Ronaldo to Dinho? Dinho the father of insane dribbling skills on the pitch. The father of Samba dance. A player that will disgrace u on the pitch with mind-blogging skills while laughing. No player comes close. Neymar was seen as the next Dinho but he never developed and fine-tuned his dribbling skills like Dinho.

List is good...

However if we could have best 20 as a team... Zidane, Klinsmann, CR7, Romario, Socrates, Platini, Klivert, Weah, Maldini, Rummineger,

Should all be included

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

That is what we are telling them but tapnaldo ppl no wan gree. But Dem go gree noni. Premier league best player ever na Thierry Henry. So y d jumping upandan on top suii and tapins and dubious penalties.

I will choose prime Messi, Pele, maradona, Henry, zidane, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho before remembering prime CR7. Those guys are just different breed wen it comes to football. U feel it inside u. U will see dey all have it more than Tapnaldo
Re: Ronaldo Nazario Picked Greatest Ever XI, Ft Messi, Maradona, Pele & Ronaldinho by vikono(m): 3:02pm On Oct 03, 2023
It's because of this kind of selection that made c.ronaldo to cry when he was eliminated from the world cup by Morocco.
If you like be the best ever without the world cup, your honour is not complete.
We had great players like Johan cruft,puska,they were great players also but couldn't win the world thereby limiting their greatnest.
Check the selection well, you will discover that all of them won the world cup during their playing days.

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?
At the bolded, no Portuguese player have ever gotten to half of Ronaldo sucess before. So he is top of all legends in Portuguese football.

U are talking about MVP, most of the players who MVP on major nations all partaked in the finals, so unfortunate that Ronaldo was injure before the finals of the Euro 2016 tournament.

And u also talked about casemiro, modric, Marcello, kroos, Rooney, evra, Scholes helping him at both man u and Madrid. Then, why didn't they help themselves or look for people to help too in achieving at least half of what Ronaldo achieved? Abi, shay na them nor like better thing?

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.

And how many Balon d’ors, international trophies or individual awards does Rashidi have? From your own analogy it pays for someone to talk with sense.

Even those players on that list don’t have a quarter of the awards, records or world best CR7 has.

Even the Ronaldo Nazario wasn't as successful like Cristiano Ronaldo in football. In fact C Ronaldo is even far much better, because at 30 Ronaldo was still doing great and even won the ballon door, but at 30 Ronaldo Nazario was nothing to write about.

The only place Delima Ronaldo was more successful than C Ronaldo was at the national level, and it was all because of the Brazil national team dominance in football those days.


I take exception to the last sentence in first paragraph. El Fenomeno was never according to u "nothing to write home about at 30" Nazario suffered a horrific knee injury which has gone down as one of football's most heartbreaking moments.

El Fenomeno saw his career ravaged by injuries and it was the one he suffered on back in the year 2000 that changed his career forever.

El fenomeno combined injuries was estimated to have deprived him of 4yrs of playing time.

If he didn't get injured and maintained the form he had early on in his career, he would have won a lot more awards and could have been one of the most decorated football player of all time. He would have won more than two Balon d'or.

Despite being plagued by injuries he was still lethal.

We all know Penaldo is a successful player but he knows he is not different from De' Stafino, Joan Cryff, Eusebio, and Zlatan....
IF you truly know the roles Ronaldo Fenomeno played in Brazil, you won't be typing this thing.
Besides Penaldo's success in penalty taking and being Injury free through out his career, what other success can be ahead of that of fenomeno...

CR7 should at least get a world cup BRONZE MEDAL before we can sit and negotiate his entry into world's soccer hall of fame.

Tanx bro for educating that dude for free. Pendu fans re really dumb. Most of them started watching football from 2009/,2010. To them everything starts and ends wit Pendu.

Honestly, who Penaldo wan bench for that team?
Penaldo should tell us the player he can bench there, then we can argue it out for him.
Penaldo can't even bench Romario that's if they decide to include Romario...
Because na Ronaldo get most goals in that lineup.

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.

Did u witness prime El fenomeno? I doubt u did.

But after the injury he sustained in the year 2000 with inter millan, he still went to win the MVP player at 2002 World Cup and even went ahead to win the ballon door and the world best player of the year. And he was also present at the 2006 world cup at just 29yrs ( in which he was no longer at the best of form anymore). So that's to tell the injuries wasn't his problems, but his inability to control his body fitness.

Mind u Delima Ronaldo was always injury free during the world cup tournaments.

What are u saying? Kroos won world cup. modric played world cup final. Afterall Croatia is not a big football nation like portugal.EUSEBIO and FIGO were better players than Tapnaldo. Eusebio achieved what Tapnaldo will never achieve. Bronze medal at world cup.


Modric carried Croatia that is not well known like Portugal to final. And he even won MVP despite losing. Tapnaldo ppl dey defend nonsense sha

The few Rashidi had made us very proud. Very prolific, very efficient. Where is the sense missing when some of the most talented players are talked about? Anyway, you never saw most of them. You only saw CR7 and Messi. I saw most of those mentioned physically and can attest to the fact.

We are talking soccer and beauty and you are talking CR7. No hatred. No dislike. Those names mentioned gave us delight always to watch.

Don’t feel too much pain that Ronaldo’s name was not mentioned.
