Ronaldo vs. Ronaldo 

Post#1 » by boogeydown » Sat Jun 19, 2010 1:00 am

So my friend and I are having a debate who the better soccer player is/was, Im going with brazilian Ronaldo. He actually won World Cups. Chrsitiano Ronaldo hasn't won anything. So who is the better Ronaldo? We're also debating Brazilian Ronaldo vs. Ronaldinho, who the better player was.

winning a world cup is a pointless part of the argument considering you do that as part of a team, not an individual so that renders that part of your argument invalid.

im not very into soccer these days but i think this is brazilian ronaldo and its not that close. one of the best strikers ever and his PEAK was far above other ronaldos. He was so good his entire team threatened to boycot the 1998 world cup final because the guy wasnt gonna play. (health issues i think). But yeah this is a guy that won leading goal scorer in world cup and just had a phenomenal peak. the only thing that gets him his he had alot of health issues and loglivity might go to cristiano ronaldo

Brazilian. Cristiano is probably equally talented but he needs to achieve a lot to be compared to the fat Ronaldo. The guy was a once in a lifetime player.

Yes, CR has a lot of homework to do if he wants to become anywhere close to Ronaldo in his best days.
First thing he should do is stop crying on the pitch, though. :lol:

Fat Ronaldo by a decent margin.

The only people who would take C.Ronaldo probably have a faux-hawk and/or a fake tan.

Brazillian Ronaldo, and I imagine how much better of a player he would've been if he had healthy knees all career long...
