The Brazilian Ronaldo


Never seen a better all around CF in my lifetime. He was lethal. Inspired the next generation, nobody before him had such a set of attributes. He also had the fortune of the Nike PR machine as well which drove the brand.

The France 98 final Fiasco was something else too....was TV drama
 
Put it this away, there is nothing I've seen the current Ronaldo do that the real Ronaldo couldn't
There is nothing I have seen Messi do that the real Ronaldo couldn't

Neither of them can do everything he could.
CR isn't in the same league at dribbling
Messi is not in the same league regarding pace and power

If you take the strengths of both CR and Messi, combine into one player, you have created him.
Damn Italian thug defenders and his failing knees.
 
He got 36 CL goals and 15 WC goals. Why do the Cristiano Ronaldo fans lose their shit if someone suggest a player is better than him?
Who's losing their shit? Only you and the OP it seems.

This whole thread is a bit of a juvenile wankfest. It's like the older kids who always insisted bands from their era were better. "Aye you youngsters might think this is good, but you're not old enough to remember real talent" etc.

Brazilian Ronaldo was a great player, but anyone suggesting he's as good as the two current greats wants to give their head a shake. And you can go through Maradona, Cruyff, Zidane, Puskas and plenty of others before you get to him in the all time list.

@dangermows said he's the best centre forward he's seen. IMO if he didn't get injured he'd have been only behind Pele and Maradona. Before those injuries he was amazing. When he came back he wasn't as good but still one the best in the world. His record at major tournaments is incredible.
 
I am puzzled that some think there was no one like Ronaldo before he played the game. There are striking similarities between the way he played and George Weah at his best. Perhaps people have forgotten just how good Weah was at his peak when he played for AC Milan

In his only season at Barcelona he scored 47 goals in 49 games. Only Messi has done better! And if you are saying that Cristiano is a winger and a better goal scorer than you have to say Messi is better than both because he is not a striker but has more goals and assists. Also, Ronaldo's record on the international stage at major tournaments is much better. Cristiano's record is poor at major tournaments and Messi's is OK. Up until Friday night Ronaldo had scored more goals in 1 World Cup than the 2 of them combined. He also has 2 World Cup medals and 2 Copa Americas too.
Messi is better than both!

George Weah was an amazing player! One of my favorite players and one if my idols growing up. I loved watching him play. Pity he never got to play at a World Cup, he would have lit it up.

The correct term is Real Ronaldo
