Players that need to step up....

[Guest Diddybob]

Fact

[O Fenomeno]

I think Ronaldo would rather excel in La Liga x2 y Serie A

WC record goal scorer/Dominate a WC aged 21/Win a WC plus the golden boot than break club records and be ghost for his national team at the same time

[darkman]

Like i said Zidanes group of players are

 

Iniesta

Platini

Zico

Laudrup

 

all great players but don't mention him with Maradona and Pele if he isn't hands down better than the aforementioned.

 

Zidane is above all of those. It really upsets me when people put sideman extraordinaire Iniesta in the same league as Zidane

 

Zidane is a lyncphin, a team leader. Iniesta is not

 

He may not have been the best in the world at a young age but for what he's done in the game puts him up there with the GOATS

 

In fact, he is the GOAT

[Benicio del Toney]

He did, but if he never had any injuries i don't think there would be a debate of who was a better player out of him and Zidane in the late 90's/early 00's. 

 

He was so much better than everyone in the world imo from when he was 20.

 

Thats the type of talents we are dealing with when were talking about Pele Maradona Messi Ronaldo,  child prodigies all these players were the best in the world from when they were 21.

 

Zidane is a wonderful player but he is not in the same class, these guys were destined for greatness.

 

That's real talk still, these man were beasting in teens.

 

I remember the 1st time I seen Ronaldo at PSV, couldn't believe what I was seeing. didn't make sense.

 

 

Zidane is level below.

 

 

Messi HAS to win WC next year to get to that level though.

 

He won't win it at 31.

[O Fenomeno]

I wish I was born around 1970

Watching Maradona beast from 1984-1991 must of been a joy

[Guest Diddybob]

Forreal

 

Look at this in 1980 when he was 20/ 21 he warned them man 6 years before.

 

[O Fenomeno]

I will pos you next time I log in via Laptop

Maradona tho

[O Fenomeno]

Under 14's

They only started watching football in 08

They will probably think your asking them Messi or Enzo Zidane

Messi doesn't even need to win the WC

Just dominate it like he does in club level that's all

A player score 100 goals and wins the WC also commands a fee of 1 billion

Not even one of your best regens on FM could do that

[O Fenomeno]

Since 96

Ronaldo 96-99

Rivaldo 99-00

Zidane 2000-2002

Ronaldo 2002-2004

Ronaldinho 2004-2007

Kaka 2007-08

Messi 2008-

[darkman]

Anyone who disagrees with the notion of Iniesta being a sideman....Please can you tell what team he is / has been the main man of?

[O Fenomeno]

No way

I knew Maradona was better via hear say/VHS

Being explained by my uncles/grandfather(Donny's dad) how a guy led a mediocre team (take note guys who play for second tier footballing nations) to two finals in a row

Put on a footballing clinic in Mexico 86 but he didn't stop there he took a mid table team in the best league in world and turned them into champions on two seperate occasions

Until this day I wait for someone to come along and do that

Like I said I wish I was born in 1970

[darkman]

He had a great tourny but Xavi is Spains leader

[O Fenomeno]

Iniesta was the stand out player @Euro 2012 deffo the best European kicking a ball currently

[Benicio del Toney]

Fuck it.

 

I remember 1990, I was supporting Brazil with Careca, Maradona broke my heart when he slipped in Caniggia to round the keeper.

 

That is the difference between him and Messi, Mara knew when to use his team, Messi will try to win it by himself and that's why they won't win it.

[O Fenomeno]

Maradona recovered from a broken ankle when he ran into the butcher of Bilbao

He came back from that to do great things in club and international level

Like I tell the kids of today

These guys currently playing your calling WC and great are impostors

[darkman]

He had a great tourny but Xavi is Spains leader

So ronaldo is cafus sideman and zidane is Deschamps

By your logic

 

Iniesta being player of the tournament doesn't equate to him being his teams leader. It is Xavi, he runs the show

 

Zidane was clearly the leader of the France team

[O Fenomeno]

Not a fan of stats

But

Five goals

Five assists

In Mexico 86

[O Fenomeno]

Nah haven't read it

Where can I cop that?

Italia 90 he had an ankle injury that's why he wasn't at his best

To think Maradona was getting double marked in 86 y 90

That's why I laugh when I hear there is not enough space nowdays

They might score more goals than him but they don't dominate big games like him

Anyone who disagrees with the notion of Iniesta being a sideman....Please can you tell what team he is / has been the main man of?

 

You're looking a ban for them kinda talks

[darkman]

Utter nonsense @ darkman

/

Have you man read maradonas book?

Sick read they should of won italia 90 too

To think his best years he was high on coke

 

Nonsene? Xavi is ranked higher than Iniesta in the Spain squad

 

He is also the playmaker yet he's not the main man? I just don't understand
