I have seen his opinion on a few topics cropping up in a few articles recently and it got me thinking;
Has this muppet got any credibility?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
In a VAR age I'd like to see a red card for Rivaldo. Outrageous level of cuntishness.
At least he made us laugh
Someone should have put one on his jaw, give him a legit reason to go down like a dog.
Something about national level.
FONTAINE
The real culprits in that video are the refs. What Rivaldo did was cnutish, but the reflex to milk incidents like that comes natural to a lot of players these days. The linesman however was standing right behind him and his job was to see through it.

Rivaldo was a great player with a difficult personality...
I am really curious what he would be today. Would be rival Messi and Ronaldo or more Salah/Neymar?
Depends on whenever you’re talking about the club or the

In one off seasons, he could rival Messi/Ronaldo but not over course of career. Better than Salah/Neymar for me.
SORRY IT'S THE PHONE.
RIP @fontaine 2013-16 and his returnee account @bebeanderson 2017-18.
The fact that OP joined a year later and has started ranting about Rivaldo just like his predecessors makes this slightly suspicious.

He was an incredible player. Not sure what this thread is even about tbh.
Filthy diver though of course. Super talented player though.
Definitely above Salah for ability.

Agreed.
OP should take advantage of this and act in a way that we can't outrule that he is indeed Fontaine. No, should is the wrong word. He has to do this by posting enough content about Rivaldo over time.
Never has it been so easy to take over the position of a legend.
How important was his clash with LVG?
Legacy can be such a fine margin thing, Rivaldo was a class player and his form in that tournament should mean the Ronaldo/Rivaldo/Ronaldinho combo is remembered in the same vein as Law/Best/Charlton or Messi/Suarez/Neymar but that quick act of clownery has overshadowed his achievements really. Of course it doesn't help that he fell into his Golden Bin era pretty much as soon as the tournament ended.
did your cat walk over your keyboard?Sorry, it’s the phone.
Ronaldinho's and Rivaldo's career paths were quite similar.
I'm too lazy to go into much depth though.

LVG shifted him to the wing eventhough he won ballon do'r in that position
no worries.I hate how that shitty piece of playacting overshadows his career. Unbelievable talent. I only wonder why it never worked out in Italy.
Yeah but he never stayed in that position. He was always running with the ball through the middle
Great player, it is sad that one incident is one of the most memorable of his career.
Fantastic hattrick.
Also worth remembering, he had two fantastic World Cups.
And LVG got rid of him before his return to Barcelona in 2002. Everyone lost there - LVG and Barcelona because the Rivaldo-less side crashed and burned, and Rivaldo because he didn't quite settle in Italy and it accelerated his decline.
Crazy that the Brazil 2002 squad had Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Kaka (admittedly young and didn’t play much) 
I remember this post , anyone got a link to the original thread?
Extraordinary player, fell a little short of being an all time great. A terrible human being. Bolsonarista, by the way.
That’s him and Dinho. Please don’t tell me the same goes for Phenomeno?
Why terrible? I think you are exaggerating.
Incredible player - one of my favorites to watch growing up. By all accounts, a bit of a difficult personality though.
The thread is about decision making as the articles that have cropped up are about him giving advice.
The thread has got nothing to do with how good a player he was it is purely about the credibility of a player that would do what he did.
This is amazing
Rivaldo and Ronaldo were incredible in that World Cup.
He also had the temerity to score an overhead kick against the soon to be Treble Winners in '99. No wonder someone threw a ball at him. The tit.
