Cristiano Ronaldo (106 Viewers)

This GOAT debate is subjective. Both CR7 and Messi are definitely in the discussion, possibly top 5 all time, but a case can be made for Maradona, Cruyff, Pele, Platini, and Zidane. R9 and Baggio could've also been in the discussion, had it not been for injuries.

And on top of that you have all the great defensive players and goalkeepers. The whole GOAT discussion is quite silly and pointless for multitude of reasons. For example trying to compare players from completely different eras with each other or trying to compare players with completely different roles with each other is just impossible. I doubt any of those who like making these definite statements have seen the likes of Pele or Beckenbauer play on regular basis.

That photographer gave Ronaldo a double chin. Is he still working for the club?

Tomorrow Lyon shall start a #metoo campaign courtesy of our GOAT

Or get destroyed, just saying.

Prime R9 was the best striker of all time. CR7 is easily top 5 players of all time.

Defensive players can't be GOATs IMO.

Top 5?

Top 1 or 2.
You know, Messi or him, or both on number one, idk.

Because I don’t like ranking, I don’t know where him or Messi would be placed lol And for the top 5, mine would be CR7, Messi, R9, Zidane, Maradona maybe (not in order).

Talking about being subjective or unlucky circumstances, then i’d very well include Del Piero in the discussion aswell, a case could sure be made for him as part of the top 5-10 of all time and i’m as serious as it gets, the guy reinvented hisself numerous times after some tough injuries and still delivered the goods for the majority of his career, even in his late 30’s you could still see him create, dribble and trick players with ease and at an almost walking pace(which is mindblowing seeing that he lost most of his speed as he aged and to still be able to pull that off with such elegance ain’t something you see often), perhaps one of the smartest, most technically gifted and impredictable players to have ever played the game, aswell as gifting us some of the best shooting/goals techniques to ever witness whether it is short/medium/long range you prefer.

So behave, snubbing ADP but including R9 on that list of yours here should be a warning worthy offence IMO.

It is just too sad we never saw ADP shine in World Cup like Baggio in 94

Why cant the likes of Beckenbauer, Maldini, Baresi and so on be GOATs?

They were so dominant in their own area and time that i certainly think you can make a case for them

Kaiser Franz won 2 ballons, Maldini and Baresi also came close if Im not mistaken

That said i agree with the other guy saying this GOAT debate is rather pointless for numerous reasons

Well, not that i necessarily disagree but i’d say that in fact he did just enough in 2006’s WC, did he not?

What matters most is that he contributed to Italy winning it and was without doubt a key asset for them, especially in the late phases of the tournament.

guys shouldnt juve invest in human cloning technology? why bother looking for next great players.

just invest in cloning and lab creating fetuses and use dna from ronaldo, buffon, chiellini, del piero etc.

if needed, force them

 

[X Æ A-12]

just try it on De Sciglio first please

 

[Lion]

just try it on De Sciglio first please

well look at it this way.

imagine we clone chiellini, but give him handsome dna from DS and ronaldo. imagine how awesome that would be.

we would dominate the handsome market, the instagram market, most sold shirts market, gay market. we would be gods. and then we seal messi dna but fuse it with dybala genetics to create the ultimate forvet

I think that because people playing football to win, if you cannot create goal then maximum you can only get is draw
So for a player to be a GOAT, he must have high participated rating in creating goals (that means numbers of goals and assists combine)
These will take significant part in judgement, then how much trophy they won, and how significant that throphy

Let me take you to an extreme perspective, if there is a Goalkeeper that played 500 games in his career and only conceded 10 goals
Would you consider him as GOAT (greatest footballer of all time) ? Probably no, because there are another players that played 500 games and created more than 500 goals. But people will surely pick that goalkeeper as the greatest goalie of all time

With our imagination, we should make a tv series about a developing country who farming top players DNA trail (sperm)
Pay some fertile woman as surrogate womb, this done around 1995-2000 (milenia). Take care of the kids development (find a family for them), nutrition, hire the trainers, coaches, prepare the infrastructure etc. And give the only purpose of their life is to play football for their country and with ultimate target to win the world cup

We can make the title The 111 (total numbers of the kid that their raise)
11 Goalkeepers,40 Defenders,35 Midfielders,25 Attackers
We can put how the parents love affect their development, as they put in some family. Some parents love their child, some just do their job to raise them etc
And how women (girlfriend) affect their development etc2

And let's start they do this to generate 250 childs, but only 111 born as boy and 139 born as girl
Then the girl is raise to becoming celebrity for their country, some athletes in any kind of sports
With final purpose for them to rebreeding, to keep the genetic

I don't think Ronaldo will win another Golden Ball. I think his Will Smith time in the limelight is over. The PR machine is looking for younger names to promote.

I dont think you can put it out like that, its too simplistic

A defender can be so good and dominant that he most certainly can be a GOAT type of player to me

Its harder to create goals than defend against them sure, but it shouldnt take anything away from the defenders really

I know there’s a biased view towards offensive players being the best and it been so now for at least 2 decades which is fair enough

After all is it the offensive players that makes the masses enjoy football

Cr7 vs R9? How bout the hybrid..
