... It is either you don't know much about Ronaldo style of play.. There are varieties of his clips on YouTube.

And as you say... In my post, i tried enough to respect the opinion of the fans of both.

Very unfortunate that your hypocrisy will not allow you to know that you have contradicted yourself and do not respect my opinion by saying it is pure nonsense.

And messi said he leaves the best discussion for people to decide means the award they collect will decide the best. And in this case Ronaldo is in the same level with him.

I've addressed the bolded on my 1st reply to U.

As for the 1st question u asked , Fifa rates Pele as #1,maradona #2, Johan cryuff #3, L. Messi #5. Cr7 not in the top five . check it out on Fifa.com.

Almost all other football sites/blogs founded b4 the both of Us were born and had the opportunity to watch the game from years back , actually rates Pele #1 and messi #2, there are few exceptions with Messi as #3, while Maradona #2. But messi always in top 3 along Pele who's always #1, while CR7 is never in the top #5.

Forget the stats, Watch the game like these guys have done, like I've done, then U would see that football is more than who scored or who made the final pass.

Exactly why I rate Ngolo Kante and Kevin De bruyne as the two best players in the league right now, Even if the stats don't prove that.

BTW, I'm a Liverpool Fan , I should be rating salah higher, but no . I watch the game I see what kante and De bruyne do. Funny thing is Ive actually been full of praise for both of them for more than 2.5 years now ( before Guardiola, before Conte) , it has taken some stats for the rest of the so-called fans to see this.

Agreed

somehow:
Well records say he is, deal with it or keep at it.

ebosse:



Fifa.com would disagree with U. In fact , 99% of all the sport blogs/site established b4 u were born would disagree. U think I'm lying? Do your research.


CR7 is a goal scoring machine. That's all he is..

Don't judge based on sentiment, be objective. Objectively CR7 is not even in the top 3.

Sagamite:


First of all, in the 90s, PSV was not a small club. It was one of the top clubs in Europe. Think of a club at the level of Monaco, Sevilla and Tottenham today.

In the late 80s and early 90s, it was churning out stars after stars that later became legends in bigger clubs or their respective countries like Romario, Gullit, Cocu, Koeman, Popescu and Ronaldo (R9).

The silly 'question marks' and 'assumptions' are from those that (1) don't know football, (2) are poor at analysis and reasoning and/or (3) are some partisan idiots, especially CR7 ones who want to say he did this and that at Man U (forgetting he did nothing at Lisbon).

What Messi is doing in Barcelona, no player in history has done in any big club, no matter the set up, set down, set 2, set 3, set 56, Setubal whatever. Not even Maradona did it Barcelona, not R9, not Romario, not Ronaldinho.

His ability is Godly and supreme!

He can score like CR7 and Pele. Even scores more goals from outside the Box 18 than both. YEP! Many of you would be surprised at that fact.

He can dribble and playmake like Maradona. He has done everything that one has done and did it more times.

ebosse:



Ryan Giggs better than Henry?? I see, u r definitely a Man U fan.


Alan Shearer was voted EPL best ( most likely because he is British) with Henry on #2.

Maybe if CR7 had stay a little longer he would have been up there.

Iamthoney:
Of what use is the competitiveness when those six strong teams don't make statements in the UCL? The semi strong team in La-Liga will easily claim the EPL title without much sweat and the babies of La-Liga will annihilate the babies of EPL anytime any day so where is the match? If the babies of La-Liga gets as much money as their EPL counterparts they will make La-Liga very very strong

Sagamite:




Good one!

obonujoker:


What did Henry win with Arsenal individually and collectively that made him EPL greatest ever??

What did he win that these players didn't win?
Frank lampard
Steven Gerrard
Ryan Giggs
Wayne Rooney
Cristiano Ronaldo
Didier drogba??

obonujoker:


CR7 not in top 3.... who then is... Messi??

What has Messi won that Ronaldo hasn't won??

ebosse:



Duuuuude, don't be watching YouTube clips and making nonsensical conclusions. Even Ahmed Musa has unbelievable YouTube clips.


Before, I got my job I used to own a 'Viewing centre' and I was forced to show every single barca/Madrid matches each season, that is all 38 LA Liga matches for both Barca and Madrid every season and I can tell you with all certainty that Messi is Supernatural !!!!

If only you had Watch every Single Messi match for barca few seasons ago U would have been screaming that Messi is the greatest player of all time like a lot of us are doing right now.

Don't just watch YouTube Clips, champions League game and draw conclusions based on them ( couple with fact that U must have seen CR7 play for Man U since the EPL is sooooo accessible to Nigerians but clearly never really watched La Liga based on this your write-up

ebosse:



Bro, this is were U r getting it wrong. Greatest player award ( just like ballon d'or) is an individual award not a team award.


John O'Shea won more than john terry yet you can never put them in the same class, one is regarded as one of the best to ever grace the EPL , the other is regarded as a player who played for a great team.

Football is more than who won.

That is why , every one (atleast 99% of football fans) rates JJ Okocha who never won anything more than Obi Mikel who is one of the most decorated African footballer .

That's why you have to always look pass the stats and actually watch the game.

I watched Henry played , and only 2 players ( CR7 and Luis Suarez) played @ the same level. Both CR7 and LS didn't stay in the EPL long enough.

Sagamite:


Most of these awards are based on people voting on goals scored in the year. That is the problem with a general vote. Those without analytical skills get to vote.

Some of Ronaldo's wins are in seasons when Messi was off a few weeks injured, hence less goals.

If someone with a brain does analysis based on ability, what happens on the pitch and contribution to the team, CR7 has NO CHANCE!

What history does Barcelona have that these clubs do not have.....

AC Milan
Manchester United
Bayern Munich

What the fck don't you get?

TEAMS WIN COMPETITIONS!

You want it translated to your local language?

The point the guy made flew over your head.

Homework: Go and re-read again and come back and explain what you understood with what I highlighted.

obonujoker:


Like this year.....

Sagamite:


This is where you exhibit your inability to reason and analyse.

The only reason CR7 won over Messi is because the idiots voting would look at the fact that Portugal (a team) won the Euros.

The idiots would not look at the process of winning, just the fact they won is what matters. That is the fallacy of general vote. That is why Nigeria got GEJ, the most reetarded reetard of reetards as President.

In the same period, Messi scored 54 goals in 52 games, while CR7 scored 55 goals in 59 games.

That is 1.02 goals per game vs 0.93 goals per game. But idiots would look at what a TEAM won after coming third in a group to attribute it to ONE player.

So wipe that smile off your face, son.

obonujoker:


Then why are you calling Henry the greatest EPL player??

obonujoker:


So you know better than those who voted him

Sagamite:


Fcck Fifa.com!!!

If by now you don't know FIFA tries to be diplomatic with its praise and choices, and tries to honour old players, you know nothing.

I can see the clips of CR7 and Cruyff.

Cruyff has nothing on him. Cruyff is a rung below and I am being generous because he is a pioneer that has no one else too look at to develop himself. He has natural talent and developed an epic style that has been improved by future generations. If Cruyff was playing today and he played what he used to play then now, I would not even put him in that rung, I would drop him another rung to the levels of Figo and Brian Laudrup.

I would agree CR7 is not top 3, he is 4th in my opinion behind Messi, Maradona and Pele. He is the ultimate goalscorer that only Messi and Pele have matched.

obonujoker:
All these Messilona fans are very annoying.... Well this is my own list of 10 greatest players ever....

Pele
Maradona
Cryuff
Ronaldo Delima
Zinedine Zidane

Cristiano Ronaldo
Messi
Ronaldinho

My top 5, players have proved themselves both club and country both individually and collectively....

Sagamite:


Because of his fcking ability on the pitch.

His goals, the quality of the goals, they way he dribbled people, his pace, his intelligence, the way he carried the team etc.

Shyt Shearer had only a few of.

Back when Henry was King in EPL, if you whispered his name in a girl you are fcking's ear, she would get more wet for you. That was how sexy his football was.

Sagamite:


By fcking far.

They play better football than me does not mean they have close to my analytical brain.

Sagamite:


As much as you are entitled to your opinion, you can never get a top 10 in such rankings.

You need to have tiers.

Tier 1

1. Messi
2. Maradona
3. Pele
4. CR7

Tier 2
Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zico, Zidane, Platini, Iniesta, Xavi, Puskas, Di Stefano, Beckenbauer, Matthaus, G. Muller, Kahn, Cruyff, Eusebio, Buffon, Zoff, Yashin etc.

And then next tier.

According to your analysis... the list of greatest players in EPL should be.....

CR7... ( length of stay doesn't matter.... he performed individually in EPL and in Europe )

Henry......
