kaka

Kaka is a class player but is he the best - he won the awards last year so enough people must have reckoned he was.

This year is he better than Ronaldo, probably just about, Kaka always give the impression that he is committed for the whole game, Ronaldo seems that he only plays for portions of the game

ah edit.. it's silvestre.. not o'shea.. lol..
but we're playing tomorrow evening.. not tonight.. cfcbhoy.. XD

Yes we are going to play tomorrow night and I'm sure we are going to snatch on Olimpic Lyon and come off winner
and the best one is Cristiano ronaldo in the world at the moment I think

The only problem I have with Cristiano Ronaldo is the actual lack of impact he has during many games. He may grab the headlines with a good strike or a great free kick, yet I find when i have watched him on many occasions this season his actual work rate and overall contribution to games are sorely lacking.

well if it walks like a duck...........!
what's your theory,just for laughs?

by the way,I don't think you can read mate,i clearly stated that i didn't think the issue between the two Arsenal players wasn't a racism issue.

Anyway!!!!!!

geezer are you talking about on current form or outright,because going by yuour wording it sounds like you actually believe Messi is a better player than Ronaldinho ever was.
How soon we forget when one is not on from.talk about fickle,tahat's why certain tabloids make money because a large % of peole are morons.
There will be a few players you can compare to messi or ronaldo as great as i think messi is.BUt,there is no one you can compare to ronaldinho.Name me one player in history who can run a defenses as fsat as Ronaldinho take a heavy hit at full speed and still stay on his feet.The player is unique the others on that list are not unique ,but are performing better than ronaldinho today.

Flipper is a lady,mate.

Anyway you wana know someone in history who can run at defences like Ronaldinho.Here's one........Messi.

Now let's think about why people are fickle towards Ronaldinho.

1)He has been abysmal for the last 2 years.Somebody with missing digits can count on one hand the amount of good games he has played in the last season and a half.You talk about judging players simply on form.Sorry,my friend,but that is exactly what you have done.Messi is getting praise right now because he is doing the job that Ronaldinho is no longer able to do.

2)He was only at the top of his game for 2 years.

Sure,you might have a valid point when you say Ronaldo and Messi have only been at the top for a season/season and a half,but that has been for the most seasons.This means that right now they are better than Ronaldinho and I believe that is what the thread is about.

erm.. maybe about current form.. ronaldo's the only one i see most of the time.. others are just from highlights.. but i've got a reason for saying messi's better than ronaldinho.. based on that current form..

and are you trying to say that all uefa officials are not good enough to arrange the list of world's best players?.. of course.. we're talking about present time.. lol..

i understand that you can't expect a player to play well all the time.. ronaldinho's got his time.. maybe if this thread's made a few years ago.. the result might be different..

however.. it's your choice if you still wanna put ronaldinho on top for the next decade ahead.. i was simply asking why you put ronaldinho second.. while you know he's not even in the top list already.. no need to freak out like that.. lol..

and by the way.. everyone has the right to compare any players they like.. XD
now.. i'd like to compare ronaldo to benzema before tonight's match.. =P

thanks for your post.. kim XD
i think there's just a little misunderstanding about ronaldinho.. =P

What's with Henry? I wanted to vote vor him

I just threw up.

Did you hear the good news though? ESPN fired Wynalda.

Talking about good news....Cruijff is coming back to ajax...more about it in the dutch section.
Im so damn HAPPY!!!

Ya know,I liked Eric Wynalda when he used to do Channel 5 over here.Underrated commentator IMO.

YES!!!!!!!!!!! I can watch the MLS in peace now!!!!

Kimmy - Underrated? The man is a walking ass! (as most of what comes out of him is either sh!t or it stinks)

Still my favourite quote ever during the World Cup...

Erik, who do you think is the best Goal Keeper in the world cup?

Casey Keller, without a doubt! Everyone talks about Buffon and Casillas, but Keller is the best of the keepers in this competition!

Titus Bramble without a doubt.

I thought wynalda was a good commentator also,hi insight was on the money most of the time,i wonder who will replace him.

What about Benzema?

Great player. Not the best in the world though

True but I think he's better than a few on that list.

As mad as this sounds (I know me and specnur have disagreed on many points) but I think this post is spot on.When it comes to tactics and who is playing well/badly and why and what they need to do and things like that I thought Wynalda got it right most of the time and also he was cool to listen to.He was a cool guy.

Yeah that Keller quote was crazy but I had a feeling ESPN had something to do with that.
