    I was just reading facts about Ronaldo and i am amazed at how many individual honours he has at such a young age. Most players have never achieved what he has in their whole career. He is truely a great player. In my opinion the best player of his generation.

    Your opinion is wrong.

    Medals mean * all when it comes down to who is a better player, look at pele Ronaldo will probably have more honours than him but does it make him better, like * it does.

    you a member of the united site redcafe mate ?

    they were discussing this on there lol, and someone had written the exact same thing as you about the honours.

    personally i think Messi is the best player in the world, and Maradona is the best ever.

    He was also part of Brazil teams that flopped completely your point is still not valid.

    No. Playing football is more than being the fastest, having the best ball control and being able to win some matches by yourself. Messi is * class but he does * in many games and still too individualistic. He gets injured frequently also. At his best, no one can compare, but he's quite irregular.

    Don't know who's "the best" player right now. Maybe Ronaldo, maybe Kaka... i think Agüero will be in a few years (what a striker ffs, you'll see him this year in CL :97:)

    It's always interesting looking at the players suggested for best player in the world.

    Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka, Torres etc

    How often do you see a goalkeeper suggested? Or a full back? Center back? Defensive midfield?
