Boc007: I always felt makalele was the best DM ever until I saw Kante. I never knew I would ever see any DM better better than makalelr in my lifetime till I saw Kante. Do u know Kante is also soo underrated for his attacking contributions? I watched Leicester when they won the league. On most of their counter attacks, Kante was the 3rd or 4th player behind spearheading the counter. |

Blabbermouth: Without any bias, any true fan of football knows that Ronaldinho was an exceptional talent in the round leather game |

kleverley:Messi had a bad tournament Copa 2019, we all know. The last tournament was not the only tournament they had in the last 5 years. World cup 2014 he was their best player. Copa 2015 he was their best player. Copa 2016 he was their best player. World cup 2018 he was their best player. Even Under 20 World Cup and Olympics he was their best player. Wetin again? At the Euros 2016 final when Ronaldo was missing Eder won it for Portugal. At the UEFA Nations League when Ronaldo was flopping Guedes won it for Portugal. Someone needed to win tournaments for Argentina the few times when Messi was having an off game too. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Drienzia:You know football and it seems you play football too. Ronaldinho before any other person. You can easily practice and master whatever Ronaldo and messi do with the ball.But Ronaldinho? You'll obviously need lessons before u get to learn some of his tricks |

nairamaniac: Don't mind those kids placing Makelele above him. Kante that always make other midfielders lazy when they lose the ball. ![]() |

BroadStreetBull:here's the difference, in 2015 when messi was on fire,they didn't win it in 2014- same 2016-they still didn't win it Even in 2019 when he was flop of the tournament they still didn't win it mind u,Ronaldo didn't flop at the Euro2016 final |
Re: The Top 10 Greatest Football Players Of The Last 25 Years by kleverley(m): 1:26pm On Jul 31, 2019 |
BroadStreetBull: You can mastermind whatever messi does with the ball,but u can't do it with Dinho even in solo efforts,dinho was better |

Jarus:Don't be surprised if the likes of Rasheed Yekini, Ikpeba, Kanu are ahead of him. Baba played for the camera for the better part of his career. So much skills, less end product. |

kleverley:Ronaldo didn't play. (He played 14 mins so he didn't play technically). They won it without him. 1 Like 1 Share |

BroadStreetBull:how then does that translate to "flop"? He wasn't in the game for even 15mins and u say he flopped? |

Bruno3000:And they would rank him as one of the 25 greatest players? Skillful? Yes. Talented? Yes. But we can only rank based on his output of the field. Not the flicks in training, even the showboating on the field. You know people are ball joggers, but not necessarily good players. |

Boc007:His presence was felt in almost every final he played will you say same for messi? |

I will pick Figo ahead of Baggio. |

Na wa ooo. Messi ahead of Rinaldo, let's be objective and look at the numbers and achievements. CR7 is above. But I still have zidane and ronaldinho above them |

You would think different of him if he was a white dude. Okocha didn't just played for the right clubs. golddeejay: |

kleverley:Get the point! A player who flopped in a final practically made ZERO contribution to winning the final. Also A player who missed the final technically made ZERO contribution to winning the final. That's only the point I want to make. Whether flop or miss, Ronaldo therefore made ZERO contribution to winning the Euro 2016 final. Except of course you want to tell us how he played the role of a cheerleader. |

I am a die hard fan of Ronaldo but if greatest in this context is about talent/ output in the field of play. then my list are as follows; 1. de Lima (el phenomenon) 2. messi 2. ronaldinho 4. ronaldo. (cr7) 5. zidane , figo 6. others. cr7 would have topped messi he if continued how he played at man utd. just my opinion. no need to get worked up. 1 Like |
