"...many goals did Bergkam... " alot

You probably didn't see him play at Ajax when he was European player of the yr and 2nd world best after Baggio
Even at inter and Arsenal (pre 2000)

His technique in looping is supreme
Raul looping technique is not that great

And yes Raul was a neat finisher, even Morientes, Gotti
I did not see him play at Ajax but only have clips. His Inter solourn was very short lived. Bergkamp jabs the ball more to the top of the net and he loops well too. However, his loops cannot be compared to Raul's. There is a large difference in the parabolic nature of their loops.
This is a clip of Raul with some of his goals and loops. You can watch if you have time. The clip contains more than 15 looped goals. You can check out some consecutive loops around the 4th minute mark.

This is a clip of Bergkamp as well with some excellent goals and loops. Compare the parabolic nature of his loops to that of Raul. 2 different players, excellent techniques.

Then u don't know what clinical striker mean
No one who knows would rate those people above Raul
Matter of fact only person close the word clinical on ur list is Ruud
And I can't even call him that, he is more of a predatory type (6 yard box) like Inzaghi



Clinical strikers: van basten, Raul, Davo Suker, Inzaghi (tho more of 6 yard box), john dal Tomasson (Denmark), Crespo, lewandoski, Diego Tristan (deportivo), Simone (AC Milan 95), Huntelaar (Dutch), Morientes etc

..also this fat Austrian striker, forgotten his name
Thanks for schooling the dude.

The king of loops is Denis Bergkam
He is also the most technically gifted player of all time

90's had strikers more clinical than Raul and Co just than injury and bad career finish most of them

On the one on one thing, R9 and Baggio give everyone a long gap
There's was no to just place rather take the keeper out completely
Far more efficient than any striker in this aspect
No one scored one on one more than those 2
There own was sure and certain goal
How many goals did Bergkam score with loops when compared to Raul?I am sure there are enough Youtube videos to quickly do a comparison. The manner Raul finishes off is just too neat and clinical. I am not trying to take away anything from others neither am I saying Raul is the best striker of all but his finishing is just so so unique with surgical precision.

Inzaghi is more clinical than all of them

Van basten is the most clinical and best striker of all time

The issue is "one on one" not who is more clinical

With Ronaldo 9 and Roberto Baggio aka device ponytail a one on one is 95% sure

They would not only take the keeper out
They would destroy and make a mockery of his very existence before calmly walking the ball into the net
One on one with those 2 and ur keeper is finished
Inzaghi is one of my favourite strikers as well. In fact, I cannot remember him or Raul missing a one -on- one. Almost everyone on your list is a one on one executor and this is why the issue of "clinical" needs to come in. Raul is so clinical in that situation. Ronaldo 9 bulldozeers his way through. Raul scores his through surgical precision. He is also the king of do loops in such situation.

You are a clown... When we talk of finishers in world football ever, I don't think Raul is in top 5 sef

Delima
Ruud Van Nistelrooy
Gerg Miller
Henry
Lionel Messi
C Ronaldo
Lewandowski
Inzaghi
You are the greater clown here as you do not understand simple English.
Raul is one of the best one-on-one finishers ever was the first thing I said. Did I say he is the best finisher of all?
The other dude brought in Ronaldo De Lima and Baggio and I stated that Raul is more clinical in front of goal than they are. Do you understand the usage of the word "clinical"? I doubt you do. There are a couple of better strikers than RAUL (few anyway) but rare to find one as clinical as he is in front of goal. If you do not understand the maning of the word "clinical" as used, ask questions rather than joking around.
All those on your list are / were fantastic strikers as well. Someone like Fillipo Inzaghi for example. Kindly provide me with the goal records of Lewandowski , Henry and co in Europe again. The last time I checked, Raul holds the 3rd position with 142 strikes in Champions league behind Ronaldo and Messi. What is the total career strikes of those on your list when compared to Raul? Provide statistical evidence sir.

Best one on one finishers are Roberto Baggio and Ronaldo de Lima (R9)
no one can touch these 2
Raul is more clinical in front of goal than Ronaldo De Lima . Take that to the bank!
Ronaldo De Lima may be more fearsome and aggressive but Raul is the most clinical finisher I have ever seen. What Ronaldo will achieve with 1,000J of energy, Raul will achieve same with less than 100J.

Bahddo:
where is the personality attack on Ronaldo in my post?

Don't try to shift goal posts now, your post was clear enough. You guys are trying to imply that Ronaldo's goal was rated the best by professionals and wins the official award, while Messi's goal won an inconsequential fan vote.

There is no official panelist list that did a countdown from 10 to 1. They simply had a shortlist of 10 goals (its on the UEFA site too) in no defined order, and Ronaldo's goal was the first on the list. Nowhere did they tell you that that was a ranking of the goals, and that Ronaldo's own was adjudged the best.

If it was they would have said so explicitly like they did for Messi's goal that was eventually voted the best and given the title GOAL OF THE TOURNAMENT.

Also notice how it is not FANS GOAL OF THE TOURNAMENT.
Can you point to anywhere where I said it was an inconsequential fan vote? Maybe you are mistaking me for someone else. Ronaldo's goal was my personal best. Please check page 1 for my post. How can anyone refer to fans vote as inconsequential where fans are the main engine room of football? Are they not the ones that watched? While I agree that I said in one of my posts that panelists shortlisted and put Ronaldo's goal in the number 1 spot on the list (which is not a lie), I clearly stated that Messi won the votes after the fans voted.
SportsRe: Lionel Messi's Free Kick Against Liverpool Voted Best Champions League Goal by naturalwaves: 8:28pm On Jun 05, 2019
Bahddo:
that was a top 10 shortlist and not an award. Same way you have top 10 for Ballon d'Or and votes from coaches and journalists determine top 3 and the eventual winner.

UEFA favours fan vote for their best goal award. They do it every week and at the end of the tournament. You people just like pushing meaningless anti-Messi agenda.

Have you seen any UEFA source that explicitly refers to Ronaldo's goal as the best? You see their post on their website where 'winner' is written next to Messi, and you are still arguing about the position of names on the top 10 list. Even a list that is not sorted in any particular order must have an item at the top. It means nothing unless they say otherwise.

Go give Ronaldo the award na. Someone whose goal wasn't even recognized as goal of the group stage.
I think the main issue we are having here is comprehension.If you cannot understand what I have written, I do not know how well to explain my points to you. You have even left the main argument to do a personality attack on Ronaldo who does not even know you exist. I referred you to the first page of this thread where I clearly stated that although, Messi won the vote, Ronaldo's goal for me, was the best. We provided the panelist list subsequently to show the load down from 10-1 as agreed by the panelist. Someone posted another link where Messi was said to have won and we never doubted it. I clearly stated that Messi won the fans vote organised in conjuction with Nissan. I do not know why you are being unnecessarily belligerent. Comprehension!
SportsRe: Lionel Messi's Free Kick Against Liverpool Voted Best Champions League Goal by naturalwaves: 7:57pm On Jun 05, 2019
Bahddo:
UEFA is not PFA, and the goal of the tournament is simply a recap of the goal of the week. It's not a big award like player of the tournament which is decided by a panel. They shortlist best goals and the winner is voted by fans.

UEFA used the same format they use in awarding goal of the week. You would understand this if you have voted the goal of the week before. See the goal of the tournament here.

https://gotw.uefa.com/#/en
What are you saying? Go back to the first page and see my post. Messi won the fans' vote for goal of the tournament and I never said he did not. Ronaldo won the panelist vote as his goal was no 1 on the list. Is this too difficult to understand? Ronaldo's goal was adjudged as the best by the panelist. A fan vote was subsequently conducted and Messi won it. Do you understand?

Please look at that goal again. I believe you follow football. That smash-in is just too regular to compete for a GOT. Maybe there is something about it I'm missing
It is not just because it is a smash in, it is about the execution and timing. Anyone can smash a ball into the net but that particular execution is exceptional. He even timed his leg movement while running with the ball such that he connected with the ball the next time his leg was in position. Timing a long range pass from opposite side or a diagonal long range pass is easier to deal with but timing a long range pass from same side while running is not easy to control talk more of giving it a one-time connection to beat one of the best goal-keepers in his near post. The execution is superb and not more than 5% of footballers can score that without giving the defender and keeper any chance. The goal needs to be stored in a museum. If it is not an exceptional goal, it won't be voted as the best by UEFA.Mind you, the committe that voted included some of the greatest players of the game in the past including the legendary Raul, who to me, is the greatest one-on-one finisher of all time.

Madzukic of juve, has scored over 160 goals with his head, Ronaldo is just tryin in that aspect
How many goals has he scored in his entire footballing career as a professional for him to have scored over 160 with his head? undecided.
For both clubs and country, he has scored a total of 212 goals. If you subtract 160 from that, you will get 52. According to you, Madzukic has scored just about 50 goals with his legs and about 160 with his head right? If Madzukic sees this aerial ability comparison to C. Ronaldo, he will give you a hot, dirty slap. In the history of the game, only about 6 players can be compared to C. Ronaldo when it comes to aerial ability and they are; 1. Sandor Kocsis, 2. Uwe Seeler, 3. Dixie Dean, 4. Oliver Bierhoff, 5. Horst Hrubesch, 6. Carlos Santillana. Ronaldo is better than some of these but when it comes to heading the ball, these are the ones that can be mentioned in the same sentence with C. Ronaldo. C. Ronaldo is one of the greatest headers of the ball dead or alive. You can take that to the bank!

Lol... This goal is nothing short of a tap-in. The cheapest form of goal any player can execute. Nothing special. Messi's freekick wins it for me.

What about it? Messi's goal in there is totally different from this. This is a one-time shot on the same side as where the ball was coming from. In the other one, he had the chance to control and run up to fire the ball....a good defender would have stopped that. This particular goal is no match. The defender and keeper stood no chance.

Lol. Ronaldo's one-time shot against Manchester United is one of the most perfectly executed goals I have ever seen in football. It takes a great deal of calculation and accuracy to score such. I doubt if 2% of footballers can score that. As for free kicks, hundreds of footballers have scored freekicks and placed the ball in angles that are impossible for keepers to reach. Messi won the vote this time but that Ronaldo's goal is so outstanding.
In case you missed it, this is finishing 101

I saw a shared duplex apartment at Peace estate for 450k ( Masters bedroom). My friend stays in a shared flat at Igbo Efon for 250k an annum for just a room in the 3 bedroom apartment. You think the Island is the same as your village? If you go to Lekki, Ikoyi axis, you will see self contain for 700k per annum. I even saw one for 1 million per annum plus service charges.

There is no shared apartment around Ajah for 3k a week.
Most shared apartments are usually a room in a flat which is usally ensuite or a room in a duplex.
The average least price you can get a shared apartment around here is 150k per annum (if your room is the smallest or something like that). A room in a shared apartment goes for 200k,250k,300k,350k per annum around this axis.

Tottenham needs a ball mover on the midfield........the attackers seem to be wide apart and Son is so predictable with his style of trying to wait for a long pass to catch the opposition unawares. Overall, they have been a bit sluggish with the way they move the ball and all the touches.They need to be sharper with everything. Moreover, they are losing all the aerial battles and generally playing as if there is nothing to play for. I will suggest that Lucas Moura be brought in and replaced with Harry Kane........Harry Kane seems too rusty with movements and touches. Son should also switch position away from that left flank.
The players are playing as if they have been busy under the sheets for a couple of days.

Dickson has to be felt all that you have described adds to the experience but I am not going to pretend that below average and the above average have the same effect. I don’t refer to anaconda sized members which make sex more uncomfortable rather than pleasurable.
So however way you want to look at it size does matter.
That is why the woman said ladies like you should be dumped when you complain that a man's joystick is too small. In case you do not understand, what she meant is that one should move away from people who body shame........she does not mean to say that some people do not have it small but that the least you need is someone who will body shame you and lower your confidence. Your statement about "we could not both have clits" is very disrespectful because those who have it small just saw it like that. This is something that is more or less like a random distribution and you take whatever nature gives to you. In all your write-ups, you have never failed to show logic/intelligence and I am surprised this came from you.........Your initial post was the worst to ever come from you as it is bereft of deep thinking or perhaps you are a sex maniac.

Having said that, no one is disproving the fact that they do not give the same experience....a small member may not be able to give a certain type of orgasm but there are about 5 different types of orgasms....It is more about knowing one's onions and knowing who one is dealing with. There are some ladies that no amount of furious banging can make them cum whereas, a couple of clit brushes in 1 minute will make them shiver.
In all, the summary is that do not body shame anyone and if someone body shames you, move on to another person who would not body shame you.
