Roberto Baggio? [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2UVsmRDxGQ&feature=related"]Baggio. Oltre il portiere - YouTube[/ame]
1.Ronaldo 2.Zidane 3.Romario 4.Rivaldo 5.Roberto Carlos 6.Maldini 7.Baggio 7.Ronaldinho 8.Figo 9.Kahn 10.Hierro Can't do five, and those are 10 of SOME of the best players over the last 20 years, imo.
It's tough to compare R9 to Messi because the post-injury R9 wasn't as good as Messi, but the pre-injury version was better. For now I put R9 on top just because of the World Cup success, but R9's 3 amazing seasons plus WC will only keep him on top for so long.
Peak performance, plus big games: 1- Ronaldo 2- Zidane 3- Rivaldo 4- Romario 5- Baggio .. followed by Ronaldinho, Messi, Maldini, Carlos and Henry Honor: Laudrup, Stoitchkov, Batistuta, C.Ronaldo, Figo, Redondo, Xavi, Dunga Buffon ...
Why are most of you putting Ronaldinho in top 5? He had 3 good years and fell the ******** off. Lets be real here, there've been 5 better players in the last 20 years than Ronaldinho. You telling me 3 good years is better than Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo, Messi, Maldini, Baggio, Romario, etc.?
