LordAdam16: And so what if he invented it? Being a good coach makes you a great player? LordAdam16: Nonsense argument. Even Kanu came back from heart surgery that does not make him the greatest even in Nigeria. LordAdam16: Greatest entertainer does not equal greatest footballer. LordAdam16: And so? Boy, how old are you? LordAdam16: If you did not do it for long, there is no evidence you would have done it for long. Kaka? Rivaldo? Pato? Owen? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Alex Ferguson is not the greatest 'cos he coached just Manchester United. He couldn't have replicated his successes elsewhere. He needs to come out of retirement and prove his greatness with Eiber in La Liga. *Logic* 6 Likes |

1wolex85: I count it. They don't like losing to teams they regard as far lower, so it is normally a competitive game. Worse still, lose by conceding 4 goals. Which was the same thing they suffered in Nigeria's first win. There was complete outrage in Argentina, they quickly had to organise a rematch in a week. They take it seriously. |

Iamthoney: EPL is the most competitive league in the last 15 years. So I would say it is the strongest league. That said, it does not have the best teams. Spain does! |

Sagamite: And great players make their teams win... moreover individually, how is Henry the greatest ever....?? He wasn't the best dribbler He wasn't the greatest assister Never won individual honours Won the golden boot on in EPL Isn't EPL record scorer.... so?? |

1wolex85: As a player no one, that's because cr7 didn't stay long enough in EPL. But Henry doesn't have d best career in EPL as a player.. Giggs, scholes, lampard, terry etc all had better careers in d epl |

miketayo: Now you are saying career and introducing longevity. The question is who has been the best player in the epl era? I agree that Ronaldo didnt stay too long though and wasnt as good as he is now in the EPL |

Sagamite: You really need to do some soul-searching and understand why certain players are regarded as GOATs. Becoming a GOAT is not entirely about scoring goals or running past players. It's also the natural talent and intelligence. You can't compare Ronaldinho and Cruyff, they do different things. Ronaldinho has an unbelievable flair, but Cruyff has better in-play intelligence. Cruyff single-handedly lifted Ajax and Holland to becoming European and world footballing giants. He moved to Barcelona for a record transfer fee and showed it wasn't a fluke. The next year, he took Holland to the final (same thing Messi did in 2014). Granted, he didn't score as many goals as CR7 or Messi while playing in a similar position. But he didn't have the Ozils, Modric, Kroos, Scholes, Giggs, Busquets, Iniestas, and Xavis that both CR7 and Messi have. Put Cruyff in MU of 2007-2009, Barcelona of 2009-2012, RM of 2013-2016 and he'd be breaking records like they were match sticks. He was so good, he took his intelligence off the pitch to invent the same football philosophy that laid the foundation for tiki-taka--the best style of play of the last two decades. La Masia was revitalized based on his philosophy. Football wasn't an art to Cryuff, it was a science. No other person saw and understood the game like he did. That's why he is on the list. -Lord 2 Likes 3 Shares |

1wolex85: I already said in terms of skill as a footballer there is no one better. But it doesn't mean he had the best EPL career |
Re: Messi's Decision To Stay At Barcelona Ensures He'll Never Be The Greatest Ever by 1wolex85: 12:34pm On Nov 30, 2017 |

Sagamite: Trophy is everything both personal and team.. and these players are almost as good as Henry |

LordAdam16: It is about the natural talent, intelligence, your application of it repeatedly on the pitch, your carrying a team and your coming up to take the realm when it matters. All these done over a long period. Ronaldinho, Zidane and Iniesta are better than Cruyff in these. Some of you get too emotional about pioneers. Being a pioneer does not make you th greatest everytime. Sometimes, people take your pioneering exhibition and take it to another level. Cruyff introdced the fundamentals, Iniesta is a magician! |
