odizeey: Many Man utd fans that love Ronaldo still acknowledge that Messi is the better player. Even some of his former teammates... it's not beef, the truth is just obvious 1 Like |

randomperson: That is understandable. He played so long ago it is a miracle people are even still considering him. Indomie and twitter generation believe the world started with them. Nobody mentions Cryuff, Di Stefano, Puskas e.t.c anymore. Di Stefano that won 5 straight UCL/European Cups scoring in all finals but gets overlooked in conversations. The same craze that was making people rate VVD as one of the greatest defenders ever. Recency bias in the age of tiktok, slay queens and kings is a dangerous thing. The old man is trying to make sure people don't forget him, and that is a very human thing to do. But like i keep saying, that you didn't see it does not mean it never happened. 4 Likes |

If you are mixing up Roberto Rivelino and Mane Garrincha you need to sit out any debate about Pele. With all due respect. |

randomperson: Yes. I'm crying. I had to cry tears of joy knowing South American players won't have to go through torture anymore. It is finished. |

afrodoc2:Well you may be right doc but on FIFA TV, when they were talking of his story before the sad end to his playing days, loose lifestyle and depression, Im damn sure I saw garrincha scoring with his left in that mini documentary and rivellino is not black na |

afrodoc2: Garrincha alias the Joy of the people, that guy been to like to take corner kicks with the outside of him foot. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by randomperson: 7:07pm On Jul 11, 2021 |
afrodoc2: Yeah, you're partially right. Recency bias is a factor. But there's also the factor of Nostalgia, people who saw Pele and Maradona play never want to believe that they could be surpassed. In the same way, in twenty years time, it will be difficult for any Messi or Ronaldo fan to admit that one player has surpassed what they did because of the nostalgia. I like Pele a lot, before Messi, he was my GOAT. But using the eye test, Messi is obviously the better player. 1 Like |

Kilishihunter: I have seen Messi score with his right foot. I have seen Robben score with his right foot. i have seen Rooney score with his left foot. Doesn't mean they were masters with that foot. The Brazilian legend with a powerful left foot and curve mastery was Roberto Rivelino. And he was also the master of the elastico dribble. Like i said you are mixing up your legends. In this case combining Garrincha's life with Rivelino's technique. |

Karleb: Lol. The comment was not even directed at you. But it's true... if ten years from now, someone tells mbappe is greater than Ronaldo, you will probably not agree because of all the great moments Ronaldo gave you as his fan. That's how nostalgia works... 1 Like |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by 96forever: 7:17pm On Jul 11, 2021 |
afrodoc2:Brazil have always been about the World Cup.. that’s why they never really rated Ronaldinho in that Brazilian team despite winning the Copa America for them. They were expecting him to bring the World Cup like R9 and Pèlé did, but he disappointed in 2006 . |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 7:19pm On Jul 11, 2021 |
randomperson: The difference is that there are very few people who are alive now who watched Pele while all the footballing world have seen Messi, meaning the Nostalgia vs Recency bias battle is skewed in Messi's favour. It also helps that Messi gets to play the Copa CaraboAmerica every year, getting many extra bites at the international trophy cherry. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 7:21pm On Jul 11, 2021 |
Kilishihunter: Garrincha did not have a great left foot. It is known. Brazilian. Left foot. Curve..................equals Rivelino till the end of time. |
