How the fuck did Zidane still have a career after headbutting Materazzi in the WC final 2006? Nigger should've been banned for life.

I wonder how Puskas and Cruyff would be ranked if they won a world cup.
It is criminal neither the netherlands nor hungary won a cup considering their contributions to the sport.
If the germans didn't dope up in 1954, that hungary team would've been legendary forever.
If cruyff stayed in 1978 maybe they could've eeked out a win over argentina assuming it wouldn't be rigged.

>>154208175
Cope. Fritz Walter, Helmut Rahn, Toni Turek and Max Morlock mogged the 50% ethnic German Hungarian team - and no one will ever take it away. But surely Germany broke some rules and the Hungarians were clean, because … they just were. FIFA would have immediately banned Germany and taken away the title if there had been anything of value
The truth is that the Hungarians were not good enough when it mattered

United fan here. His placing outside the top ten is right. Think of football as something else for a moment, say movies. If Ronaldo was a film director all his movies would be the same genre. Say slashers. Ronaldo directed 17 slashers in his career. Now compare him as a director to someone who has directed dramas, romance, war, mythology, fantasy, basically someone who can do it all and make bangers every time. Would you really put Ronaldo above him? Its not even a question right? And that is the thing, Ronaldo was excellent at one very specific part of the game. But he was never a playmaker too, or an artist on the pitch who saw a beautiful pass. Ronaldo at his best was a physical monster with a clinical finish, yes he scored a ton of goals but he's not even on the same planet as a Zidane et all.
>>
>>154208011
>Pele 3rd
Hilarious

@girlcock Redo this list and remove joke league stats
>>
>>154208556
Abhorrent take, ronaldo is probably gonna be the first player with 1000 verified goals , has a euro and 5 ucl, being the best player on each winning team. Placing him anything below 4 is just hating.
>>
>>154208711
hating? stfu you german cuck, i am a united fan.
In your own dumb way you made my point. As i explained he's very good at one thing. If you reduce football to that, then yes put him in the top ten. But what then do you do with all the defenders, midfielders, playmakers of the world?
Paul Scholes was a better footballer than Ronaldo. Not even close. Who scored more goals? Ronaldo.
See the list is best footballers not best goal scorers. Now fuck off you reductionist kunt
>>
here's another example. Bergkamp. Bergkamp could do things with the ball and was creative in a way we rarely get to see nowadays. Yes Ronaldo would out score him but that's not the metric here.

>>154208887
u silly turkish roach. No one is saying Ronaldo is bad. No one is saying to take away his primary talent. THAT'S THE REASON HE'S ON THE LIST DUMBO. Judging him as an overall footballer, ie has ronaldo ever controlled a game? Nope. Never. He doesn't do that. But he was fantastic at what he did do. He deserves to be on the list but he's correctly not top ten.

But can they beat Germany?
>>
>>154208952
Being particularly versatile is NOT key to making the top 10. Thats just your opinion, not objevtive facts. For objective facts look at his trophy cabinet. Ronaldo is top 5. This isnt up for debate by anyone other than contrarians like you. Now piss off im not blessing your dumb ass with another (You)

I’m sick of lists of athletes. Goat lists, top tens, analyses, highlight reels, canons, counter-canons, the lot. Pathetic activity. Someone could write out the name of every single sportsman I really love, ranked impeccably, with no omissions and no interpolations, and I’d spit cold venom in their face. I think the only way to enjoy greatness with dignity is to witness organically, intuitively, random, by gut feeling. Not running down a list, but enjoying, following the seams where mastery bleeds into each other.

There's a reason why you became utterly shit after Varsinso was invented.

The three pillars of German football always were

Doping
Cheating
Foreign mercenaries
>>
>>154223929
I'd meet you there and say that Peak Fatnaldo is extremely underrated, I'd have him top 5 any day, even top 3 if you'd like, but I believe peak Messi still surpasses him.
>>
Why Argentines allowed to openly take drugs and it's never factored in?
>>
>>154225187
Hearing this from Cheatentinians is beyond hilarious. We’re just shit in general, nothing to do with doping and cheating. And the foreign mercenaries part makes no sense in the first place

Honestly, that's one of the only discussions that I can't really pick a side confidently. From one perspective I think R9 was more lethal in a way, in the sense that he needed less touches to punish the defense by himself or by making those sneaky passes that people often forget about, butt, you can counter that by talking about how his era kind of favored 1v1. From another perspective Messi was definitely more versatile and consistent from a team perspective, specially when it came to his playmaking, butt, you can counter that by talking about the teammates, team and the traits of the league he played for.

The reason I personally put R9's peak a little ahead is because I think Messi's peak was enhanced by his team, meanwhile R9's was independent of where he was playing at. I don't want to imply that Messi's peak was *only* due to his team, but I do think it made his stats look much better, it was the perferct storm for that to happen the way it happened.

It's really a toss up desu

I'm surprised you have "Peak R9" and "Peak Messi" and not "Peak Ronaldinho", who was just as good. Unless you're trying to imply that Barça Ronaldinho was worse than Depor/Barça Rivaldo...
>>
>>154224229
give him time
>>
>>154225417
I think of his peak as one of the highest, probably the highest after R9 and Messi. But even during it, he did lots of stupid things mid game for le joga bonito meme purposes. And playing badly in selecinha wasn't rare for him either. So to me he is a notch below them just because of that.

Objectively, it’s obviously

1. Franz Beckenbauer
2. Gerd Müller
3. Uwe Seeler
4. Fritz Walter
5. Lothar Matthäus
6. Paul Breitner
7. Wolfgang Overath
8. Günter Netzer
9. Toni Kroos
10. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge
Honorable mentions: Oliver Kahn, Matthias Sammer, Berti Vogts, Philipp Lahm, Rudi Völler, Sepp Maier

Only retired players
