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.



Successful is different from greatness. George weah wasn't as successful or decorated as players like Julian Alvarez or Dani Alves but he's far far greater than those players.


In terms of greatness and what we all saw and still seeing Ronaldo de Lima is better and greater than Tapnaldo. He could be more successful and more decorated than R9 but R9 is greater.

The same Ronaldo that played in laliga and seria a never had a season where he performed better than c Ronaldo. Every one has his/her opinion of who the greatest footballer is but for someone to create a topic just to spite Ronaldo, how silly and later this same person will say Ronaldo fans are cry babies. This same person yesterday created another one just to spite Ronaldo again. U guys say Ronaldo stat pad a lot, if it is that easy why can't other strikers stat pad like him to. They forget Ronaldo is also in the top 5 all time assist giver. Watch is early Manu days when he was still a midfielder and still won the baloon for (only premier league player to do so).

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...


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.

Any front line that doesn't include Messi and Ronaldo in the line-up is a joke. No one comes close.

I don't get involve in all these kind of debate, but prime Rondaldo delinma is the greatest footballer ever liveth.

Ask Maldini, Canavaro and Nesta

I watched Ronaldo De lima for years, he's good but prime Cr7 was better.

Records wise, Cr7 beats him hands down.

You can make use of You tube if you didn't watch prime Ronaldo de lima.

you have zero idea who RONALDINHO is.
I love Ronaldo over messi, but you see that guy you just mentioned? That guy is not human, he is a smiling demon.
I would give up everything I have to rewind time and watch Ronaldinho play live against Madrid but I wouldn't lose sleep even if Ronaldo came to play a friendly in Nigeria.
That a player is more exciting to watch doesn't mean he's better..
Ronaldo is a better player than Ronaldo..
There's no rating or football greatest lists where Ronaldinho tops Ronaldo.
Infact Ronaldinho wouldn't even make top 15 greatest players.
He had 2-3 world class years and then fizzled out and finished completely before he even clocked 29.

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.
Delima compiled the list, you no expect him not to include himself na. Penado can never make that list cos the guy na fraud

Maybe u didn't watch Ronaldinho in his prime. The trio of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and rivaldo were fire in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Obviously, English football is too mechanical, not as spectacular.

Christiano, Zidane, xavi, other above average players can be on bench.

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

He's not blind. There are many great players. I think George Weah should make d list or bench. He's a great too.

According to the deluded OP, a man who has 5 balon d'ors and highest career goals is a stat padder and not fit for the list. Rather men who aren't fit to lace his boots are better. This is what bitterness can cause

Anyways, CR7 can't be included in such a whack list

We all know Penaldo is a successful player but he knows he is not different from De' Stafino, Joan Cryff and Eusebio, 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.
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.

Everyone knows na.

Those men added beauty to soccer. They made you stay glued to your tv with their very insane skills. They gave joy day in, day out. Have you ever watched Zico. Okocha should be on that list please.

You cannot compare them with one man who hangs around penalty boxes to score and claim to be among the greatest. We can only add him among those who scored the highest amount of goals. Na im record be that. Even our Okocha is one million times ahead of him.

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

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

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

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

Football no be by statpadding against inexperienced footballers in a lowly rated and inconsequential desert league, Abi against weaker European teams like Estonia, Luxembourg 😂😂, 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 😂😂😂

8th Ballon d’or loading later this month, i can’t wait for penadogs to scream rigged 😂😂, una tears too sweet
