Roland17:It's all good bruv. And vice versa at all times. The purpose of debate is to try to diminish the opposing person's feat as much as you can within legal limits. So even you yourself admit Del Piero required more time to rehab which means perhaps what he was dealing with transcended Totti's situation. People recover differently and it's not all players that return to the same levels they were before. There is also a massive time lapse/vacuum in that your list. Unless you're telling me Del Piero did not miss any time through injury for 11 straight seasons then some thing is not quite right with that your list My point is the height of Del Piero and the little he was able to accomplish after shows that no thanks to injury we would never be able to know just how good he could have been but still he did enough to outrank Totti 1 Like |

Amoto94:Del piero was better than Totti. Totti was there, he didn’t do extra ordinary in the game like Del piero. |

Anybody who thinks Ronaldo De Lima was or is overrated is a clown... Ronaldo and Maradona are the players that have the same talent level as Mesi, they can score, dribble, assist and had strength on the.ball. Ronaldinho is close too. 10 Likes |

elrony: Better career - Ororo by a country mile Better season - Ororo had matched de Lima ' best season (which was more an one off for him) many times in his career. Better absolute peak (as in take their best ever games) - Ororo Achievement and record: Ororo 4 Likes |

Kimbeast:Like Ibime has rightly pointed out to you. Del Piero's prime was at a time when Serie A was in it's Golden Age. When Inter was loaded and Milan were relevant both home and abroad. 23 year old Del Piero was already in Balon D'or picture and to an extent led or was an important contributor to Juventus getting to 3 straight CL Finals. All at 23!!! Kimbeast:Totti right up there with Zidane and Dinho?? This has to be a joke surely. Carried Roma indeed. Where did you throw Batistuta? That Roma squad were not a squad of bums like you're trying to paint here Did you really just say 00/01? Seems you have forgotten Roma had Angel Gabriel. Gabriel Batistuta in Roma's title winning season where he dropped 20 goals. Vincenzo Montella was also on that team. What are you talking about? And that 01/02 season you speak of. Totti missed 10 games. His total contributions were 8 goals and 1 assist. So I would like you to explain how a player who only scored 8 out of his team's 58 goals and created just 1 assist can be said to have carried the team. And sorry but by the early noughties La Liga had already overtaken Serie A as the strongest league in Europe. Kimbeast:Fa fa fa foul. Roma had a decent squad and were not nearly as bad as you are trying to claim. It could even be argued that Roma underachieved based on the talent available. Del Piero on the other hand played key roles in all his team's successes and in his prime led Juve to the top of European football. This dwarfs any achievements of Totti 2 Likes |

Melvyn11: Agree with the last part about their career achievements. However, Delima’s injuries won’t affect him so severely to have derailed his career were he to be playing in the current climes. He won’t get injured that much either. |

You have to scroll down to see him Ororo is the greatest striker in the history of this round leather game. 7 Likes |

If C.Ronaldo likes he should trade mark the name Ronaldo that's his personal headache. I'll pick de lima over him anyday,everyday! I don't know about Ororo being the greatest ever, when there's still a messi he's dying to be greater than. 3 Likes |

U diggz: My point exactly. Look at how they were contributing legs for Ronaldo in that clip afrodoc shared. Tackle Messi like that for a season and his career will be over in no time. Apart from that, there has been significant advances in medical science that has impacted sports and boosted the strength and longevity of athletes careers. Ronaldo9 is an extremely talented individual. I still remember how he singlehandedly took Madrid past United by scoring a hattrick at Old Trafford in 2003. Got a standing ovation from Utd fans. And he was a bit overweight then and past his peak. ![]() 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Had Messi and Ororo played in Serie A in the 90s where those devil-incarnate defenders were reigning in those days, we won't be talking about 10 Balon d or today. Serie A was the burial ground of great strikers like De Lima, Batistuta, Piero, Trezeguet, et al. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

wman:Ororo and de Lima are not mates. People don't want to face facts. De Lima was injury prone that's his business so don't not compare him to Ororo who has been top of football for more than 12yrs telling us if this and if that. Some people are discussing which one was better at football, others are discussing which one was better at capturing their imagination. |
