Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

[Sallou]

if the likes of baggio and zidane make the top 20 then so does Ronaldo, he may not have been anywhere near as naturally talented but his level of consistency is truly legendary and of the second list only dinho is better than him and maybe Matthaus.

Most of the other days are their just based on word off mouth, if we are making a talent top 100, Ronaldo wouldn't make it, but greatest is about more than talent, and even though I do rate him, he has almost everything else down.

the list goes out the door anyways when their is no xavi/iniesta but a zidane anyways

I agree that its not just about talent (that things like consistency matter as well)- but I can't take anyone seriously if they try and suggest that both things matter equally, or that talent doesn't count for more than consistency, when deciding who's a better, more talented footballer.

Ronaldo's consistency is incredible, but it's still not enough for me to say he's as good a player as [such-and-such].

In a list of most consistent players he's be beating all round him; but this is a discussion of best players and high talent and ability with decent consistency simply means more than lower talent and higher consistency.

Henry better than Ronaldo?

Cristiano is better than Henry.

Performance matters as well , not just talent alone. Cristiano may not be that talented as some other players, but he has really worked hard to achieve what he has and his great consistency is a testimony of it, that is admirable.

Is it really that hard to understand? Obviously im talking about Thierry Henry who was phenomenal, but so is Cristiano.

I am not sure if CR7 could be or could not be in the top 20 of all time but the comparison between Henry and a CR7 is very interesting... Henry has probably more talent than CR7, he even won the WC, both of them won similar number of trophies in their career, but CR7 won more individual awards and he still has some time left to increase his record tally

Seems his twitter was hacked:

Not funny one bit, but that's the internet.

Sad to see all these "computer geniuses" wasting their "talents" on such idiotic things

I bet he will be awful against Juventus, just like he is awful against all teams with a proper defence.

 

[El Gato]

Messi, Pele, Maradona, Cruijff, Best, Beckenbauer, Zico, Di Stefano, Puskas, Baggio, Ronaldo, Garrincha, Platini, Zidane, Van Basten, Laudrup, Eusebio, Maldini, Charlton, Gento

I stopped at 20 but I didn't even include players like Bartresi, Ronaldinho, Socrates, Matthaus, Jairzinho, Stoichkov, Gullit and many others...

Do you honestly believe C. Ronaldo belongs in this list cause I really don't...

What's the point of ranking these players? It's like saying Van Basten was better than Van Nistelrooy. There is no top 20. There are some that are way more talented than others and excel in their generation more than any other player (like Messi), but putting one below the other ?... And both Ronaldos are (or will be if you like, in case of Cristiano) all time greats. No doubt about it.

Maybe Messi should try this?

If it works, cool! But the article says going up to -200, while the website of cryosauna manufacturer says to around -45, in which people stay a couple of minutes. Quite a difference, I don't believe for a second one would go in a -200 sauna...

Will score 1or 2 today.

Yeah that's a typo most likely.
CR is a very fit and sturdy athlete. Almost never injured. There could be some truth in this as he knows how to take care of himself

Nope, Ronaldo doesn't perform against good defences. Chiellini and Barzagli will have him in their pockets.
