[O Fenomeno]

In an interview with Sports illustrated, he said: 'The best opponent of my career? I've played against many, many good players, so I don't know who to keep.

'But I would say Ronaldo, 'El Fenomeno'. Why? Because he was my idol and because, as a football player, he was complete.

'There will never, in my view, be a better player than him.' 

[Thizz]

Any bum lick answer.

[O Fenomeno]

+1

[Fighting Weight]

Yeah saw that today. Ronaldo also posted up some pics of him with Cristiano and a couple others.

 

...none of them are fit to touch him tbh

[O Fenomeno]

None whatsoever

Maradona is the greatest I ever heard of

Ronaldo is the greatest I ever seen

Guys are breaking records at club level and going missing at World Cups

If your going to be a GOAT don't do it half hearted.

[Thizz]

What about R9 not winning a CL?

[Creed Diskenth]

What about R9 not winning a CL?

 

Won WC

Can let it slide

[Fighting Weight]

What about R9 not winning a CL?

 

That's like saying you've fucked Christina Millian BUT have you fucked Raven Symone?

 

Being the best player at two world cups >__

 

Being half crippled, coming back and still being the best player in the world >>

[Thizz]

I fully hear that but when it's the other way round a lot of people don't recognize that.

[O Fenomeno]

CL is not on the same level as the World Cup no matter what the media try tell you.

So before 92/93

The European Cup was more prestige than The World Cup yeah?

Guys like Muller stay getting robbed by politics

[O Fenomeno]

What about R9 not winning a CL?

Won WC

Can let it slide

He stole a medal

Dominated another

Turned up to a final in another

Guys are going missing in knock out stages or stop playing after the Quarters

[O Fenomeno]

I used to back World Cup solidly in arguments

I can no longer

Champions league left it behind in 2010

Last 2 world cups have had poor levels of football

CL semis compared to wc semis

Even 1/4s lol nt levelling

The levels were so poor but Domestic Football record breakers went missing

[O Fenomeno]

The guy just turns up to finals

Copa

World

UEFA Cup

Cup Winners Cup

/

A guy is really saying he would rather turn up to a CL final than a World Cup final

It's like being the best in your class but you can't get into the school football team.

[Thizz]

No it isn't.

 

CL is levels ahead of WC for a while now.

[Thizz]

It's like being in your school football team and not winning anything vs playing for the county and dominating.

[O Fenomeno]

CL greats

Lionel Messi

Cristiano Ronaldo

Raul

WC greats

Maradona

Pele

Ronaldo

Are we seeing the levels now?

[Fighting Weight]

World Cup is a complete different level of pressure to any other footballing event

 

It's also on a different level tactically to any club competition

 

There is no comparison between the WC and anything else

I agree

 

but tactically its similar as this years world cup showed, teams that relied on stars only got so far compared to teams with tactical coaches

 

/

 

so we all agreed that world cup greats are players who are just good in 3 week tournaments?

 

 

Name me world cup greats who weren't also club greats

 

I'm not down with guys who fail to get it up when it really matters no homo
