From First best to fifth best.
1)Maradona
2)Pele
3)Messi
4)Cristiano
5)Cruyff
I have spent years researching this and watching old and current footage of these players and this is what I came up with. I'm an Aussie that doesn't support any of the clubs that these five players played for so there is literally no bias here.
>4)Cristiano
Maradona > Pele > Eusebio > Cruyff > Messi=Ronaldo
tftp: the post
this
also this
Eusebio is 6th
No, Eusebio is 3rd and a well deserved 3rd.
1) Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro
1. Cruyff
2. CR7
3. Maradona
4. Pele
5. Zidane
wtf no tim cahill?
1. CR7
2. Maradonna
3. Pele
4. Zidane
5. Cruyff
after that there's the tier below with your Uesebio's
then after that there's a lesser tier with your messi's etc..
1. Ballack
2. Nedved
3. Di Maria
4. Hargreaves
5. Reiziger
The rest are debatable but anyone who doesn't put Maradona first on their list, or at the very least second just behind Pele is clueless. El Diego was an alien not from this planet. The most gifted player of all time by a large margin too. Maradona was like Messi and Ronaldinho rolled into one. If people say Messinis not from this planet then I always wonder were Maradona is from. The fith dimension I always tell myself. I can't put intonwords just how damn good he was.
ranked by muh legacy, Pele > Cruyff > Maradona > Zidane > CR7
ranked by skill, Messi > Maradona >>> bunch of normies who don't come close
Based retarded cringe poster. Here is my (you)
oopsie got that backwards Maradona > Missi :^)
1. Zico
2. Beckenbauer
3. M. Laudrup
4. Xavi
5. Puskas
are you proud now?
1 Pele
2 Messi
3 Maradona
4 Di Stefano
5 Cruyff
6 Garrincha
7 Beckenbauer
8 Puskas
9 Ronaldo
10 Zico/Zidane
Lmao Tapnaldo isn't even top 5 of his time
1. Maradona
2. Baggio
3. Pele
4. Beckenbauer
5. Cruyff
Not having Messi as first or second should be punishable by seppaku.
No one ever puts Laudrup up there even though he deserves to be
Muh Pele, muh Maradona
Let’s be real. Ronaldo will end up as the greatest and Messi as the best. We’ve seen both the GOAT and the BOAT play
Why try this hard?
If Messi is so good then why cant he even win the >Copa América
Because football is a team sport.
But his team is better than portugal overall and Portugal won euro against france
>Portugal won euro against france
Without CR7. Portugal has a good team over the last years.
Argentina is shit in defense and their midfielder lacks creativity since players like Riquelme, Aimar, Ortega ... are gone.
Without Ronaldo.
>muh stats
>this thread
He got them in the final so what?
Which Ronaldo?
>cristiano and le no sticky man in top 5
NO FUCKIN WAY
>never won CL, never even passed quarter-finals (his only CL goals were against a team that don't even exist anymore)
>unironically failed to win La Liga with Barcelona (Barcelona won it in the first season after his departure)
>needed colossal mafia money infusion to win two Serie A titles in 7 years (first one won solely because of clean sheets/defense while he failed to score even ONCE against top4 sides)
>missed more important penalties than Lucas Biglia
>is a commie degenerate
b-but muh 7-game summer tournament
1) Pele
2) Maradona
3) Messi
4) Cruyff
5) Huenaldo
6) Beckenbauer
7) Di Stefano
8) C. Ronaldo
9) Zidane
10) Garrincha
11) Puskas
12) Zico
13) Eusebio
14) Van Basten
Truly an amazing feat

2) Messi
3) Maradona
4) Di Stefano
5) Cruyff
6) Beckenbauer
7) Cristiano
8) Platini
9) Puskas
10) Zico
> nit-picking irrelevant autistic points
Besides, you don't need facts and statistics to see that Maradona was the best of all time, all you need are one set of eyes, which you clearly don't have. You could continue with that listbof yours until it reached the moon and you would still have achieved nothing.
Still won didn't he?
DING DING DING We have submission! The thread is over!
you never saw most of those players play
why do retards suck peles dick so hard
spent entire career in shit tier meme league
idc that he won 3 WCs
It’s a shit league now but it wasn’t back when literally everyone played domestically
>tftp
that was by far the strongest league in the world at the time
>can't articulate why Maradroga is the GOAT
>"j-just watch with your eyes bro"
The Killer of Ireland
The Obliterator of Hungary
The Sledgehammer of Wales
So did Greece in 2004 but I don't see that qualifying them for any conversation about being considered even 'good' players
oh yeah true
revised all time top 5
1. Messi
2. Ronaldo
3. Mbappe
4. Neymar
5. Pogba
Facts mean little with a player like Maradona. I could have articulated with facts and arguments to support why he is the goat but imo you just need to observe the player to see how good they are. I could have posted all of this but that would have been the easy way to convince you. I want you to see for yourself why he was the goat, with your own eyes. Dig up footage of his old games, not YouTube either ffs.
> can't articulate why Maradona is the GOAT

Had to split it in 3 posts due to character limit. How tiny Maradroga looks now :-)
>b-but muh eyes
Here's the GOAT starting XI. This team would never lose.
You missed the very point I made. Imagine being this low iq. Like talking to a brick wall
(Also for the record I hadn't even posted all of Maradonas wiki achievements. That wasn't even half of the list. Also nowadays they give individual awards for just about anything. Also there are way more Micki mouse tournaments around now to make such a list more flaterring)
Anyway I'm done in this thread you filthy cunt.
Yeah, fuck off to oblivion. But take this with you: Maradona was lucky not to play under the ever vigilant eye of modern era's scrutiny, so all his glaring flaws are not remembered.
>Ramos
the lack of diversity is unsettling
never seen this thread before
Brazilian along with argentinian were the best leagues at that time, lurk more
*has one good year*
kek
Wtf guys
1. Messi
2. Cr7
3. lmao who the hell cares
1. Zidane
2. Platini
3. Mbappé
4. Kopa
5. Henry
1-Pelé
2-Messi
3-Maradona
4-Ronaldo
5-Zico
6-Zidane
7-Cruyff
8-Gerd Muller
9-Cristiano
10-Di Stefano
If anything, this list is the most accurate. I feel like Eusebio is criminally underrated, does anyone think he deserves a top 10 spot?
rating Maradona #1 is like rating Larry Bird #1 because of their high peaks. They just weren't around long enough
>Pele
>Not a meme
He was just the first person to play real football. He wouldn't be anything special now.
WTF are you talking about? Maradona had more seasons as a Top 3 players than pretty much all players except Messi/Cristiano.
comparing players from different eras is fucking retarded
Pele>Maradona>Ronaldinho>CR7>Messi
Only a deliberate contrarian would disagree
>rating a mentally weak, doped up manlet that can’t even beat chile
8/10 genuinely got me
>pele
maradona
ronaldo de lima
messi
c. ronaldo
pele
Argentina's team from '14 to '16 was stacked and yet they lost three consecutive finals
I like this one gj. but I'd put messi in first
>no neymar
>Pele
>Ramos
>Cafu LB
>Maldini RB
>Cruyff DM
If you don't know about these players just admit it, its fine.
Based
solo carrying Portugal in that tie against Hungary single handedly saved the group stages
1. Kylian Mbappe
2.Marcus Rashford
4.Vinicius Jr
5.Raheem Sterling
where's sancho and ngubu
ill fill in "3." for you.
1. Kylian Mbappe
2.Marcus Rashford
3.Jesse Lingard
4.Vinicius Jr
5.Raheem Sterling
hurr durr, maybe because none of those greek players accomplished jackshit for their respective clubs?
no UCL, barely any league titles or cups, no balon d'ors, no player of the year, no golden shoes, no accolades.
Based, I almost forgot #JLingz
Cristiano on paper looks like a genuine GOAT contender, but then you watch him play and realise he's nowhere near that standard. His ball control is average compared to the real GOATs and his decision making sometimes is like that of a lower league standard player.
Just curious why Maradona seems to be ranked ahead of Pele here
1. Thierry Henry
2. Dennis Bergkamp
3. Tony Adams
4. Patrick Vieira
5. Charlie George
Messi is a lot better than Ronaldo and no one else is in the discussion.
Maradona is the most overrated fat fuck to ever exist.
>2)Pele
Tapnaldo is not even at top 10 of all time greats! He is a marketing fraud glorified by dump millennials who know nothing of football.
Sad!
1. PUKKI GANG
2. Jari "Kuningas" Litmanen
3. Sami "First Defender PL Player of the Month" Hyypiä
4. Mikael "PL Player of the Month" Forssell
5. Lukas "Best GK in Bundes" Hradecky
>R(V)amos
this
Pretty based
Ill give it 5/7 grade
Why do people bother putting Cristiano Ronaldo in any top 10 best players of all time rankings?
He isn't even Top 20.
In 50 years nobody will remember him except for his statistics, as all it takes is a few seconds watching his failed dribbles to realize what an overrated well-marketed impostor he is.
Name 20 players that are ahead of him
Off the top of my head:
Maradona, Pele, Di Stefano, Cruyff, Eusebio, Kubala, Van Basten, Zico, Gerd Müller, Garrincha, Platini, Zidane, Maldini, Beckenbauer, Puskas, Messi, Ronaldinho, (Fat) Ronaldo, Laudrup, Iniesta/Xavi (take your pick)...
Put Cruijff on left winger, and put Rijkaard as DM and you have a winning team
