Good for him. He seems very precautious with the way he changes directions.

I agree, and I can't get used to him with hair either.

Definitely one of the best pure strikers in footballing history. At his peak probably untouchable by anyone else in the history of the game as a pure striker. I still get goosebumps watching footage of him tearing the Manure a new one at Old Toilet in the Champions League in, I think, 03, when he scored a sensational hatrick.

Another futsal product - that close ball control he has has to come from somewhere, and futsal it is. Apparently didn't play an organised game of football on a proper pitch until he was around 15 years of age.

Freak.

undoubtedly, one of the best and most efficient scorers of all time. he just makes things look so easy, with the way he always puts the ball just out of the goalie's reach.


imho, Ronaldo is the best player i've seen in my lifetime, or at least in my lifetime of following the game (1990 - here in 09). his years in Barcelona are about as dominant as you can get in this sport.


BEAST.

PS -- if i were Dunga, there's NO WAY i'd keep him off the WC roster (barring injury, of course).

You're just begging for a headbutt aren't you?

Zizou is definitely up there, no doubt. but Ronaldo is still #1 in my book for the past 20 years.
