Ronaldo voted player of century

Page 1 of 5

posted on 28/12/20

I actually agree with Ronaldo winning it. He doesn’t have the level of ability that Messi has yet has achieved the same or more; that deserves a win for me. Plus he’s done it at different clubs in different leagues, Messi is obviously god mode level of amazing but he’s played for Barcelona for the whole time.

Salah third? Sorry but that’s laughable imo

Salah top 3. There's no way he would make a top ten if this was a serious poll.

1. Messi
2. Ronaldo
3. Suarez
4. Lewandowski
5. Xavi

I just feel Messi from mid twenties to 30 was a level above anyone to play the game.

No Ronaldinho or R9?

Maybe longevity counts against them.

Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Ibrahimovic, Xavi, Iniesta, Henry, Lewandowski, Kane, Aguero....would all be above Salah currently.

Wouldn’t discount Suarez. Absolutely unplayable for a while. A strong contender for top 5 imo.

Considered Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Iniesta and Xavi for that midfield spot. Xavi was probably the best player after Messi in what was arguably the greatest club side ever so he gets in.

I think theres been quite a lot of attacking players better than Ronaldo9 personally.

I never really go by these kind of polls as the results are always swayed by the teams with the most fans.

The way I view it is who gives me more enjoyment when I watch them play.

In that aspect Messi will always be above Ronaldo for me.

Ya your probably right. Other than the 2002 World Cup and moments here and there I’m not sure he was that amazing after the turn of the century.

He was absolutely unbelievable. My boss and I used to make a running joke at the time when he just joined Barcelona.
“Did you see Suarez had another terrible day at the office?” And then show each the ridiculous goal(s) that he had scored.

But top 5 from 2000-2020 no way.

of the last TWENTY years?

salah. wow popularity contest vote

If you are going to talk about from 2000 to 2020 you actually have to be born prior to 1990.


Lets just see:
Maldini
Cafu
buffon
figo
pirlo
cannavaro
zidane
henry
ronaldo (the real one)
iniesta
xavi
messi
conaldo.
lahm.


Salah wouldn't and couldnt be in the top 50.

It says it all that its all forwards that get considered but not the absolutely brilliant defenders. I'm not even going to mention gerrard either.

not sure salah should make top 50, i can think of about a dozen defensive players even with a better claim - ramos, alves, lahm, buffon, neuer, ferdinand, vidic, terry, nesta, cannavaro, cole, even maldini in his 30s won more than salah.
