My post wasn’t in response to the other poster?
Explaining it doesn’t make it any less obnoxious / moronic. Especially the gem he opened his spot with
Oh, yes Eusebio, I'd forgotten about him. Fantastic player and one of the finest strikers of all time.
I was tired
11 was the hardest one so at least I know I have a clear top 10 in my own head nowHe is vastly overrated
To many hipsters who don’t know the club’s history I’m afraid
I know, but just find it funny someone rate Pele as the unquestionably no.1 GOAT while someone else rate him outside of top 10...
Ah…ok. I’ve not seen much of Pele at all, and what I have seen (the odd pass, shot, goal) doesn’t go alongside the others. He was undoubtedly much better than the clips I’ve seen but I’d be making it up to put him in ‘my’ top ten.
That's just plain silly, the numbers Messi have are beyond ridiculous if that doesn't take you "anywhere near the top" then nothing will.
How much are you willing to bet on that?
My left bollock. I’m that confident
Looks like this most obvious attempt at troll farming was quite effective. Chapeau! Factually it's obviously utter rubbish.
How high do you already regard Mbappé, considering your first argument? How did Cruyff and Beckenbauer influence football world more than Messi? I mean, 70s Netherlands and Ajax teams were very influential for sure, as was later 00s and early 10s Barcelona, and Beckenbauer is certainly a unique piece with his all-roundness, but can you tell me the tactical changes that those two players solely promoted in the game to put them above Messi, who was more a difference maker technically(think it's fair to say this, right?)?
You would have lost your left bollock.
How old do you think people on here are?
I have some bad news for you...
I like this one. As I do with most of your lists in threads like these.
I think Di Stefano has enough documentation to make it obvious that he was a more capable player than CRonaldo.
I think you vastly overestimate the interest most people have in watching hours and hours of terrible quality, ancient footage of teams they almost definitely don't support.
I perfectly understand why people put Ronaldo above players that were better than him. It still makes my eyes bleed though.
Messi was already nr. 1 for quite a lot prolific footballers, managers and pundits before he won the wc. 7 ballon d'ors and insane stats and attributes.
You don’t get the point, how can you say it’s not even close if you haven’t seen the others? You should say out of those you’ve seen it’s not close, not players you yourself said you haven’t seen.
Its all about opinions here, besides, objectively speaking and in terms of football "greatness", Ronaldo has a strong case above those other players whom you rate higher.
Couldn't have put it better myself. Found it really difficult to place him as he is a clear outlier in terms of style and involvment in a game compared to the 20 or so players you'd normally consider for such lists, but likewise, ignoring his numbers and achievements would just be very unfair considering how unique they are.
Can't speak for everybody else but for me, it's two reasons. Bear in mind that's to sperate him from an all time top 10 or 20 list so please don't mistake it for downplaying his greatness.
