@@razor000999000 I saw Ronaldo play during his days with AC Milan and Corinthians, he didn’t impress me at all. I honestly don’t believe he deserves to regarded as a legendary soccer player. For me, he’s not top 100 of all time. He was overweight, slow & had no dribbling skills. I really don’t understand why he got so much hype as a once in a generation superstar. Thierry Henry was far better than him honestly.

[@razor000999000]

@@USMNTsoccerELITE by the time he was playing for ac his best days were behind him due to his massive knee injuries which robbed him of his lightning pace and excellent agility and he alway struggled with his weight especially in his latter years of playing. If you'd seen in play at psv, barcelona, inter or real Madrid, he was different player, unfortunately his body couldn't keep up with his skill and ultimately his body ended up letting him down.

[@USMNTsoccerELITE]

@@razor000999000 We need to remember that soccer wasn’t very developed during Ronaldo’s day. Now, coaches need to watch only one video and they would be able to easily stop Ronaldo from causing trouble. The defenses today are of much higher quality than in Ronaldo’s time. Ronaldo only stood out because he played in an easy era where there were not many stars. Therefore you can’t say Ronaldo was a great player, he was pure garbage. Ronaldo is actually much worse than Lukaku.

I'm from Portugal and i fkn LOVE Cristiano Ronaldo! There's no words to describe Cristiano in my dictionary, but there will always be 2 reasons why i'll always call him either Cristiano or Cristiano Ronaldo: 1 - I'm old enough to know his first name is Cristiano. 2 - Ronaldo "The Phenomenon" showed me how magical and genius football can actually be, and he will probably always be my favorite football player ever, because with all that he did in the pitch i can imagine how far could he go if not for all the knee injuries!

[@kevinbadalkar9740]

@comali2212 Brazil has a population that is more than 3 times that of the other (past) superpower Germany. Together with their culture of skill-based creative improvised football and add to it endless supply of talent due to big population, year-round tropical climate, and the national passion for the game, it is easy to see why they have and keep producing great players. Lately though (since 2002), the advent of "systems" football has pooped the party for Brazil. This is their longest and most barren WC streak (only 1 semi-final between 2002-2026). But I think Brazil can be at the top again if they adopt a bit more discipline. They have always had the fantastically talented players, if they just add this discipline, they should do it again. They are always among the contenders and still the main team to fear.
