Depends what you mean by skillful, but when I think of it I think of someone who seems to have complete control over the ball and can manipulate it however they want while dribbling. So IMO I'd say possible Messi, Robinho, Villa, those are just a couple I consider more skillful, if you consider skillful to be quick moves and stuff then I guess cr7 would fit your bill perfectly but that's more wasteful then skillful IMONat_H wrote:Now that we're on the topic of Ronaldo and teamwork I'll throw this out here:

And 2brown, who, in your opinion, is more skillful than Ronaldo?

I didn't add Kaka and Ronaldinho out of laziness and Zidane due to the fact he's no longer active, but the REAL Ronaldo was far more skillful to.Hugh wrote:Messi, Zizou, Ronaldinho and KakaNat_H wrote:And 2brown, who, in your opinion, is more skillful than Ronaldo?

Correct sir, hell half the moves that dinho and cr7 are known for were at least popularized by him meaning that's where they saw themmessi19 wrote:Are you talking about the fat, goofy teethed one?2brown347 wrote:I didn't add Kaka and Ronaldinho out of laziness and Zidane due to the fact he's no longer active, but the REAL Ronaldo was far more skillful to.Hugh wrote: Messi, Zizou, Ronaldinho and Kaka
I don't think back in the day they were more aggressive. That particular game Brazil was playing nasty because Holland was controlling the possession and the ref had made some bad calls. But even today, matches can often turn violent.2brown347 wrote:I find it amazing how much more physical the game was back then, I've watch Pele clips and seen that but not tackles and punches
Good answer 2brown347. There's many different skills that we could talk about.2brown347 wrote:Depends what you mean by skillful, but when I think of it I think of someone who seems to have complete control over the ball and can manipulate it however they want while dribbling
Yeah, in general it's a bad idea to try and change somebody's opinion.Nat_H wrote:OK I desist, obviously everyone has their own opinion about Ronaldo and no one is willing to change it (including myself )
Hehe, I wouldn't go that far. I mean the guy is a winger, and it's the winger's job to hold and run with the ball. It's true, he's good at that.2brown347 wrote:cr7 is one of those players who disrupts fluent team play. his pass to quesma doesn't mean he's not selfish, all the times he has a chance to pass and doesn't means he is. IMO he's a cancer to the game, and despite what he does on the field he'll never be a great in my book
You're talking about one of the greatest and most successful players ever. You don't hear people talk about him anymore due to the fact that he's older and injured but in his prime was better then cr7. I can't remember where I posted it but at barca Ronaldo had 25+ (don't remember exact number) with under 40 shots, while cr7 took over 200 shots last season and made 30+. Basically cr7 scores on less then 1% of his shots, while Ronaldo in his prime scored over 50% of his. If you don't have respect for Ronaldo then you've obviously never taken the time to look at what a amazing player is.messi19 wrote:Yeah but come on! You cant compare Ronaldo (Brazil) to Ronaldo of Portugal. Ronaldo (Portugal) has got much more skill than Ronaldo (Brazil). No one ever talks about Ronaldo (Brazil) anymore, when people talk about Ronaldo thier refering to Cristiano Ronaldo, never the fat Ronaldo of Brazil.
