Has a player’s all-time ranking ever been so profoundly tragic?He stands absurdly far beneath the top three, yet impossibly far above everyone from fifth onward. Trapped in a purgatorial fourth place, too great for the earth below, yet forever denied the heavens above. A modern-day Icarus, whose wings carry him agonisingly close to the sun, but never quite close enough to touch it.
>>158381447For me, he's the 2nd best. I don't rate boomers who played against farmers.
>>158381447Top 5 are Messi, Pele, Maradona, Fat Ronaldo and Cruyff
If Messi didn't exist literally everyone would unanimously agree that Ronaldo is by far the best ever.
>>158381481Nah, Ronaldo's pathetic appearances at international tournaments is a blight.
>>158381447General rule of thumb, if someones top 4 isnt messi pele maradona cr7 (ignoring order) they are usually baiting or retarded and not worth engaging with either way
>>158381611Sure but CR7 is the distant 4th.
>>158381611>rating pele and maradona
>>158381463cucktiano would get swept by 80s teams.
>>158381481lol
>>158381447>far above everyone from fifth onward.What is this specific type of intellectual retardation called?Penaldo is nothing but Inzaghi with better PR. Anyone who puts him above the likes of Zidane, Cruyff or the other Ronaldos never saw a football game live.
>>158381447>all-time rankingThere is no such thing, and if you think there is or there should be, you should be put down
>>158381799Maradona was a beast and it's easy to find footage of his matches
>>158381853Pissi Cuckitini would've died at birth if he played in the 80s
>>158384050Maradona single-handedly destroyed the English national team in the 1980s
Taking the players' best seasons there's an argument. Longevity matters, making it not even close. You can't play amazing for 3 years and claim to be the best ever. The truth is Ronaldo is best apart from Messi who has been enhanced.
>>158384010Maradona was a fat drug addicted trick horse whose biggest achievement was blatant cheating.
>>158384050this doesn't make any sense
Weird ass obsession
>>158385918Maradona won a Scudetto with Napoli. Penaldo lost it with Juventus. Levels.
>>158387570this
>>158381478>>158381611>PeleYour opinion can be discarded because it's not even yoursHave you seen Pele play?You're just repeating boomer propaganda
>>158387758I'm 87 years old
>>158381478>CryuffLiterally who???
>>158388124The guy Müller cucked
>>158381799you must be over 18 to post on 4chan
>>158381447Only player who can ever be above Cristiano Ronaldo in these stupid goat rankings is Messi, anything else is bait or just dementia. Every fag in this board was sucking his cock just a few years a go, he turns into a 41yo has-been and suddenly everyone forgets he basically dominated the game for almost 2 decades.
