Where does Magico Gonzalez rank in the worlds best?

30 years ago.

 

I don't think anyone is "bashing" any central american country. We're basically enjoying a good laugh at a delusional fan who happens to be Salvadorian. Magico may have been top 10 in concacaf and the best in El Salvador's history but this doesn't automatically make him top 10 in the world all-time. Maradona's opinion is just that, an opinion. Michael Jordan could say Eduardo Najera is the "best" NBA player of all time (theoretically speaking, of course) and that sure as hell doesn't make it true, he may be the best Mexican basketball player of all-time but we all know that Najera isn't even top 200. Now, back to the "bashing", I find this hypocritical because if anyone "bashes" it's Salvis and Most Centries on any success Mexico has. In fact, most Salvis root for the USA because they know El Salvador sucks and if not, they root for Brazil or Argentina instead of sticking through their team through the thick and thin. How do I know all this, because I'm half salvadorian and half mexican and I see how flip-floppish my Salvadorian side is when it comes to this sport. I respect Magico and what he has done for soccer in El Salvador but to say that he's better Platini is just plain out idiotic and if you really want to compare him vs Hugo, Hugo and Mexico accomplished far more than Magico ever did but any mexican will tell you that Hugo doesn't deserve to be in the top 10 greatest of all time

 

Hugo Sanchez scored one goal over the span of three WCs and sucked in almost every WC game he ever played. I rate Magico and Maradiaga above him, that's for sure. Even Yorke and Donovan should be rated higher than him, in fact.

 

lmao

 

with what??

 

the real question is who is better between Magico Gonzalez and Neymar, I mean have you seen Neymar's dribbling

 

and despite all that Neither of the players you mentioned were a five time goal scoring champion in Spain. As far as forwards are concerned in the CONCACAF region, it would be Hugo, then Dwight Yorke

 

yes

 

who else are in his top ten

 

My favourite 10 would include Gerrard, Alonso, Hyypia, Lahm and Kahn simply because I greatly respect the contributions they made to my love of the sport. That doesn't make them top 10 players of all time.

 

Come back when anyone is hailing Beckham as about the 5th greatest player of all time.

You can say what you like about Beckham, but he had a very good club career at two of the biggest clubs in the world.

Did he have the flair of Magico? Clearly not, but he did know how to be a very effective player, which is something Magico clearly didn't, or a top club would have signed him.


You still duck the question of why no top club wanted to sign him.

Reading a few things, he comes across as a lazy showboating piss-artist who had ability, but cared more about partying that football, and was an inconsistent waster as a result.

In the dire world of El Salvador football he could still stand out as a great player. In a good league though, showing a rare flash of skill while missing many games through being drunk doesn't cut it. It made him useful for relegation strugglers like Cadiz, but would have made him a liability for any decent side, which is probably why no decent club tried to buy him.

Top quality best 10 in the world types players are known for their ability to play to an exceptionally high standard consistently, which is why they are wanted by top clubs.

Gonzales isn't anywhere near that, which is why he merits no attention.

And that sad thing is, for all the talent he may have possessed, the fact that he pissed away his career makes even a limited player like Beckham a greater player. And he's nowhere near the top 10 either.

 

i can guarantee you thats the only top ten jorge is in

 

I've never seen someone put so much false information in just 82 words.

You might google 'Flamengo' - it's just the most popular team in the biggest football country.

 

you still didnt answer the question of why with all the talent he had, why didnt the bigger clubs come knocking

 

That fat ronaldo won 2 world cups and messi has won everything in Barcelona

 

Gio Dos Santos is better.

 

Which reminds me, I'm pretty sure Magico Gonzalez was the name of the little salvadorian magician we hired for my nephews party, he was dreadful.
