Look at the 10/11 Ronaldo season. That was his peak in terms of stepovers. Even more extreme than in Manchester.

Dribbling: As I said it's debatable, you can have your opinions, I can have mine. Cristiano in 2006 World Cup had the most dribbles overall, the most dribble per game, and the highest success rate. Finishing: Ok, I can agree with this one. But Cristiano is not a finisher(for example, like...

There is a lot of nostalgia surrounding R9 that is quite remarkable. Some of his fans tend to bring up his early goal-scoring records and compare them to Cristiano, who played in a different position as a pure winger/wide midfielder. However, it's important to note that the two players had...

World football obsession with stats. 2>1 so my player is better because of numbers, nothing else matters. Was Kevin Philips one of the best players in the world? Henrik Larsson? Mario Jardel? Ciro Immobile? Giuseppe Signori? Filippo Inzaghi? Nobody thought of these players as the best in the...

Haaland is on his way to being one of the greatest poachers of all time! He has already goals but trophies are needed to be on the same table as Inzaghi and Klose for example.

I don't know what are you talking about. Your football knowledge is so basic. If you score the most goals in a team that doesn't mean you are a striker. Then why on God's green earth did Fergie bring in Larsson to play CF if Ronaldo was there???

Oh boy, you are all over the place. Just answer my question, not go around it. Speaking about the early days: https://www.redcafe.net/threads/united-4-0-bolton-16-08-03-epl.30530/post-498601 https://www.redcafe.net/threads/united-1-0-leicester-13-04-04-pl.45902/post-746172

Hmm So you are telling that Sir Alex brought Ronaldo for a couple of stepovers for what exactly? Ronaldo from 02-06 was a garbage goalscorer, awful dribbler, and terrible playmaker. Are you implying that Sir Alex greatest manager of all time is a moron? For what reason he was playing Ronaldo at...

This whole thread is an absolute abomination.

There's no way Haaland surpasses Gerd Muller. He has the best resume of a striker in football history. Literally achieved everything and scored in every important game in his career. There's no black mark in his career.

Haaland doesn't need to be Messi. He can't play football that is what my eyes tell me. He can be discussed as a future great striker by the trajectory he is going, but not in any GOAT debates. The only striker in football history that can be in GOAT debates can be R9 and that's it. R9 wasn't...

Your free-kick list is wrong. I've seen these lists everywhere on social media. Your list includes friendly games for Pele (I think he has about 40 official free kicks), Beckham, and Ronaldinho. Check out this guy very reliable and does good work for football statistics. Btw Cristiano has 60...

I think this generation or people in general are getting dumber and dumber these days. The obsession with stats and arguing that it makes a better player (no matter position or context). No point to watch games anymore, right? This generation is full of excel sheet merchants. If anyone argues...

I don't know why everyone keeps making fun of Saudi League. It's one of the richest leagues in the world. Everyone keeps comparing leagues over the world subjectively. The only objective measure is money. More money = better players = better product. The list of the 20/21 season with wage bills.
