Title: the G.O.A.T. of football/soccer
Post by: Throwback on June 29, 2004, 07:34:28 AM
who do you think is the GOAT?

for me its Pele, Cruijff or di Stefano

if v. Basten didnt had so much probs with his ankle, and played a couple of more years he would be the greatest.

^lol 

what has this dude done so far? tell me. winning 2 world championships without even being the best player of his team definitely wont make him the goat.

besides every goat needs charisma. no matter if sports, music or anything other. but ronaldo is an asshole. during the time he was injured, Inter Milian payed him fucking long, and fuckin much, and as soon as he got in shape again he became a free agent and went to Madrid, the most star-flodded team of the 90's and early 2000's. well now chelsea takes over. but that's offtopic again.

Lol at Archie Gemmill Moncharelli, I think if it hadn't been for Trainspotting no-one in our generation would have even heard of him.

The obvious choices are Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Eusebio, etc.

For the more modern era I would say Roberto Baggio is probably the player in the last 15 years or so that stands out the most for me. Ronaldo was untouchable for a couple of years, but hasn't been anywhere near his true best for three or four years at least.

dunno...up here, his goal against the dutch gets play quite regularly!! i know that apart from that goal he did jack shit, but it was fantastic!!

there are so many players who could've been in the list: Platini, Eusebio, Jairzinho, Puskas, Best, Baggio, Di Stefano, Muller etc.

Zinedine Zidane is a bigger player than Baggio, he's probably up there in top 5 or 10 ever, especially with what he's done for his (national) teams..

I'm not saying he's better than any of the obvious great players listed above, but if you talk about succesfull players Clarence Seedorf is a player you shouldn't forget. He won the Champions League with 3 different clubs.

scoring isn't the way to judge who is the best player , because some players's roles aren't to score but to pass or defend etc ,any schmuck can score if he has like 5 awesome other players making sure he gets great passes right next to the goal

Nah, for me Baggio was a better player than Zidane in his prime.

And Dosia, they are called goals, not points ;D
