BrettNUFC Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Rivaldo lost all my respect when he got the turkish lad sent off in the World Cup, kernt. Steve Harper would have walked up to the ref and explained it was all an accident had he been in a similar situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Messi and both Ronaldos are the greatest in my lifetime. I used to love Rivaldo too, who is underrated. Then again, I always thought Zidane was a bit overrated....probably alone in that opinion. Rivaldo was mint but closer to Cronaldo in style. Selfish, keep trying stuff until it comes off kind of thing. Mint player though. Actually missed this, but what a shit post. Clearly never saw enough of Rivaldo. 2002 was a prime example of a non-selfish underrated player. Christ, anything remotely negative abvout a Brazilian player and you won't have it. It wasn't even a slant on him. He spent a whole career being slammed for being a selfish player which was harsh, but he was a direct player who used to dribble and shoot rather than dictate a game. That's not to say he had no vision or couldn't pass. Not true at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 It'll get boring in a few years. Not for Barca fans btw Personally, I would love him to be dragged away from his comfort zone in Catalonia and test how great he really is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Ibra wouldn't even be close if you took away the amount of penalties he scores. Of those 35 I'd presume at least 15goals are from penalty. Same goes obviously for Ronaldo. I'd also say apart from Messi, Benzemas stats are the most impressive. The guy rarely gets to play consistently 90minutes of football.

ponsaelius Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Messi and Ronaldo both scored similar amounts of pens to Ibra TBH. Plus he generally won them himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Messi did too? Didn't know that. Problem is Messi scored twice as many goals as Ibra and CRonaldo almost did it too. Meaning Ibra is shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for Barca fans btw Personally, I would love him to be dragged away from his comfort zone in Catalonia and test how great he really is. Agreed. In all truth, he's still the best player kicking about right now, and probably the best I've seen in my life, but it'd certainly be a lot more interesting if he went to a lesser team for a few years, just to see if he can still dictate games in the same manner. He's still a filthy cheat mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's manipulated to Europe's top five leagues tbf! Not sure anyone would get a look in outside of those anyway, mind you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Lionel Messi? I find it hard to imagine a better player. I've ran out of things to say about him, because he constantly outdoes himself. He is easily the best footballer I have ever seen or am likely to see. There are players for once in a generation. Messi is a once in a lifetime player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
