Cool... well There were no sentiment then, and there were so many Super footballers then, not now that only Messi and Ronaldo Rules football. And also the awards were not so many as there is now. My brother, it doesn't change the fact that Ronaldo has not surpassed the legends....stay calm. He won't win the World Cup ever, that will be a dent in his career where legend excelled
my brother they're Many other gifted players aside Messi and Ronaldo but those two are the best of them all quaresma Nani robben Robert hazard Ibra Rooney should I keep going on even in the Time of Owen van I stel Roy and Lampard Ronaldo and Messi still were Shining and superb so what are you saying there's no other players in their time

impressive team Brazil maybe lucky to get 2nd. but the Croats always seem to underwhelm when it matters most. Jamaica almost beat them in '98.

Check ur dictionary for the meaning of a legend. And also, releasing a cartoon doesn't make u a legend... take note

Bro u talk without reasoning... Was there Balon d'or when Those legends were in there prime??? Obviously No, these individual trophies came of recent the latest legend Ronaldinho was lucky enough to snipe the Balon d'or in his late prime stage. No matter what u say, Ronaldo is yet to reach all those lagaends I mentioned earlier. He may be good, but he's not performed as much as they did. Forget personal trophies which are won out of sentiment.

Bro listen.. Ronaldo can never reach the number of goals Pele has scored, he will never check it out and see. Neither will he ever dribble the way Maradona and Delima did in their days, it can never happen. Neither will he perform up to the Skillfulness of Ronaldinho, come on... Ronaldo is not even so skillful as Neymar, let alone Ronaldinho. In a nutshell, Ronaldo is an excellent footballer, but Saying he has surpassed legends and beaten them is a total blunder and lie. Even Messi has not surpassed the lagends , None of either Ronaldo or Messi are yet Legends....Until they retire.. I rest my case...

Nigeria team can do damage to any team at the world cup. I believe every team at the word cup understands that. Forget about names. you play bad game, you get bad result.
