anigbajumo:Good morning, I didn't downplayed Messi's ability cos he is a great player OK, but look at Barca team, Coutinho was bought to replace Iniesta but he flopped and Barca loaned him to Bayern. Barca was angry with Coutinho cos he didn't play exactly or better than Iniesta. Coutinho won Champions League with Bayern and planned to continue with Bayern but Barca said no. We all know Barca as an attacking team with the best midfield, can we still say the same of Barca now ? Champion league against Atlanta was a miracle but Bayern was a disgrace. We are watching Barca so far this season and we will watch till the end of the season, thank you. NB the argument was someone saying that Messi is ahead of Pele which FIFA, BBC etc has rejected based on the statistics of their football at the World level. |

Lowest quality of the human specie, you deserve to be shot in the head then ground into a liquid paste and afterwards incinerated at a temperature of 1,000 degrees so that there is no remnant left to contaminate the human specie! |

Glaswegian:that's you, I will take it very far as much compare him to Delima, if only he played for Madrid or Barcelona during his prime the story would have been differ, Henry outclass Delima when they face each other at champions league and World Cup, yes Delima won the golden Boot in World Cup we all know anybody playing 9 in that Brazil team that year will definitely win that golden shoe... Henry was by far the complete striker, don't forget Henry carried Arsenal on his shoulder before his departure... Henry won 4 golden shoe in epl, three was hatrick, Henry was denied world best, not once but twice.... More over Henry will make the cut in top 20 footballers. I'm not being sentimental, I have gone through history, watch clips, read alot before coming to conclusion that Henry is better than Delima who is everyone's favourite. Thank you 1 Like |

Maobichek:Bro, first and foremost...Coutinho wasn't even a starter at bayern and Bayern didn't want him after the loan....he was on his was back to the epl most likely arsenal at that time as Barca wanted to sell him until Koeman came in called him back Secondly, Barcelona didn't play Atalanta....it was Napoli...and what do u mean by it was a miracle? U can keep watching Barcelona as long as u want.... everyone knows Messi has been the one carrying Barcelona since the past 3 seasons.... If he decides not to carry Barcelona this time around, we can't complain...he clearly wanted to leave... 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Men, I came late to this party. BBC has a reasonable basis for its list. All pained cr7 fans should go and take it out on their buckets. The fact is there is no football body, agency or journalist that would not ultimately rank Messi higher than CR7. Its common knowledge within the football world and its only CR7 fans that are living in denial and delusion. Personally, my ranking for best ever is as follows: 1 - Pele-Messi-Maradona (All three are the GOAT) 4 - Ronaldo De Lima 5 - CR7 6 - Zidane 7 - Cryuff 8 - Di Stefano 9 - Ronaldinho 10-Romario-Puskas 1 Like 1 Share |

bastien: You don't love Henry more than I do, but please I beg you in the name of God, do not compare Henry to delinma again. That man is the greatest striker of all time and his by far the 4th greatest striker of all time. Delinma wasn't even a striker but an all round footballer. While all players I have seen have like 3-5 moves to beat their marker, delinma has more than 15 different ways to beat his marker. Delinma is above Henry in every ways. What delinma did at the world cup in 2902 when he went two years injury and came back less than 3months to the world cup to score 8goals is never going to be repeated again |

obonujoker: Whenever, Eto wins a world cup, a confederations cup (as player of the tournament), an Euro cup, enters another world cup final, comes 2nd in World player of the year 2 times, and wins the top Leagues' player of the season three times, then you can say his career matches that of Henry. You thinks say na beans to be ranked the EPL's greatest player ever? |
Re: Pele Ranked The Greatest Footballer Of All Time By BBC Poll, Messi 2nd by ThierryJay: 12:32pm On Oct 29, 2020 |
peacekante: I agree with you that De Lima is better and greater than Henry, however not in every way was he above. Henry was a better passer/playmaker and had more speed than R9. I may also say Henry had better juggling and volley technique than de Lima. I think prime Henry (2002-2006) was slightly better than post-2002 R9. However Pre-1999 monstrous R9 was well a cut above prime Henry |

peacekante:both Delima and Henry are in the same level until everyone agrees then I'm cool lol. What every person I have had this argument used is his international achievement and injuries, like we are quick to forget that then Brazil national team was always the favourites in all competitions from 1994 to 2006 World Cup, no team, I repeat no team in the world series can match that of Brazil during those years, imagine Henry in that creative team? Lets not forget Henry was robbed off the world player of the year, not once but twice cause he was playing for Arsenal and English league... Let's go back and watch the match between Real Madrid (Ronaldo) vs Arsenal (Henry) or France (Henry) vs Brazil (Ronaldo) Henry was class all round, and knocked him out. Since I started watching football, these two are the most decorated and greatest forward/striker of all time. And I love both.. But I'm pure Henry fan.. no vex o |
