Only you X-Off.

Ronaldo is just someone who can run really fast and hit a ball with power. His one trick poney act with the constant stepover just nauseates me.

Yes Dinho is a trickster. But he's a footballer before that, simply for the reasons you yourself mentioned above. At their best I'd pick Dinho over the fake Ronaldo anyday of the weak.

He doesn't even compare to messi and your comparing him to ronaldinho? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Your statement is so redicilous that i'm in a state of shock right now. I'm going to let the others rip into you on this topic as i'm sure there are a few who feel your absoloutly crazy so All i'm going to say is If I were to say that to the people I'm currently mentoring under; they would straight out just laugh at me and think i've gone mad.


Ronaldinho in his prime vs Ronaldo in his prime? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

First player ever to get a standing ovation in bernabeu. I'd love to see cry baby get the same treatment in camp nou.

And Ronaldo with his silly, unnecessary, show-off tricks and stepovers isn't?! LMAO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

IMO, Ronaldinho at his very best (while wasn't better than the likes of Maradona, Zidane, etc) was second to none. certainly not to Ronaldo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Nag nag nag...

Ronaldo won Manchester United the Champions League all by himself. Ronaldinho wasn't that impressive during Barça's victory in 2006, which would be his last successful year. His years at PSG were anonymous, and after the 2006 WC he went AWOL. So tell me, how could someone be considered a football legend if he managed to outshine the rest of his peers for only about 3-4 years? Ronaldo has been playing at high levels for a very long time, and he's still got his future ahead of him. He's an exemplary athlete, and without him Real would have flopped big time last season. OK, I admit that during his prime Dinho did some amazing stuff that maybe Ronaldo isn't capable of, but what about consistency? Zidane isn't considered a football legend because he shined during France 98. He played at high standards for his entire career. Dinho has called it quits from a while now. And he's "only" 30!

Yeah, but the only thing is that he didn't. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) He was a flop at the World Cup of France 98! People only seem to remember him because of his goals in the final match, and people think he was the main player of the team. For my money he was a much better club player than NT.

Maybe you're right. But then again, he was great in 2006, headbutt aside.

Yeah, I'll give you that. He wasn't too hot in the first half of the campaign, the group stages. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) But he stepped up in the business end of the tournament, up till the final. I'd go as far as to say that France wouldn't have made it to the final if Zidane wasn't in the squad - he was that important to the team.

Overall, I rate his performances better in the club teams - in Juventus and Madrid, he was immense!
