Yes, Neymar is a nice guy and pretty humble but often misunderstood. He isn't likely to be boastful at all. I saw this comparison in another...
I agree with Romario. As much as I like Ney, Romario is definitely better than him. Not just finishing ability, for me, Romario's ball control is...
You haven't really watched anything if you don't think Pele is a greater talent than Messi. Pele could do everything better than Messi (the way...
That hopeful cross is 10x better than this? Nah. [MEDIA] Where's CR7's run from midfield goal in the semi-final? :p
So, I'm guessing it was Rivaldo's assist that got Brazil the victory in the 2002 World Cup semi-final! When has CR7 ever run with a ball like that...
My subjective opinion is that Pele, Maradona, and (possibly) Cruyff are greater talents than Messi/R9. Pele had too much in his repertoire and his...
R9 was as much of a perceived GOAT-level talent as Messi (although neither are in reality). Also, that's not the way to finalize the answer. Why...
Haha! The full story is that R9 danced circles around the Argentines, who could not get near him without fouling him. Hence the penalties (all won...
Neymar played with peasant level players, and the players R9 played with looked peasant level in his absence (except Rivaldo of course). Neymar...
Did you actually say that R9's value to Brazil did not exist? :ROFLMAO: Also, you are referring to Romario's timem not Ronaldo's. Romario was as...
R9 has more domestic club titles, more European club titles, and more international titles than Maradona. The Serie A 1997-98 was a robbery,...
:D Let him score 1 goal first in the knock out stage. :D:D
Does turning up for Brazil guarantee success? Brazil struggled to qualify for the World Cup without R9 (even lost to Honduras and the like, being...
Agreed. But then that would be the end of his Brazil career as he would behave like a prima donna and would get away with it.
This is a completely one-sided post because it ignores how much superior R9's international career is and also his superior goalscoring ratios....
Just saying that this is your opinion. Opinion differs. Data don't. There is no way to prove any of this without data. In my opinion, R9 is ahead...
As long as there are subjective claims, there will always be debate. The way to end debate is through objective data. The goalscoring ratios are...
Taffarel was a great shot stopper and also much better in penalties. Here's FIFA's reel on him. [MEDIA] There is no way Alisson is saving the Mo...
Haha! I thought you said Messi 2009. Messi 2011 was extraordinary. I'm not throwing Opta under the bus in terms of assists; those have an end...
Just because OptaJose counts Ronaldinho as having 10 dribbles vs Arsenal, it is a better performance than R9 vs. Lazio? Ronaldinho's performance...
When you quote absolute numbers, it becomes irrelevant because R9 missed many seasons due to injuries. Try goals per 90 min or something similar...
R9 did not play in the CL when he was fit; he played in the European Cup Winner's Cup and the UEFA Cup and won them both being the best player....
And none of that can be seen in the data. So, all subjective nonsense. Clutch? Big games? The data clearly show otherwise. Ability meaning ball...
In terms of pure defensive ability, there is no doubt that Thiago Silva is up there with the best. However, in a comparison with Lucio, the latter...
CR7 > R9 in aerial ability, not much else. In terms of goalscoring, I am less inclined to look at absolute numbers, as they are not comparable...
