The Greatest Soccer Player Ever...

c flyness · Dec 30, 2015

All these soccer players I put on here. I put them down because I did see games from them on my TV back in the days and the more new school players on my list. I'm watching them play in these days like Cristiano Ronaldo. I'm not going to come here and just pick some random players cause that's not me. All these players I put on here left their mark, like it or not, these are straight facts do your research google some names if you don't believe me or just go to youtube and on the search thing put one of these names on there and you'll see and if you really know soccer you'll be blown away from their skills on the field. At the end of my list I put etc. meaning that there's more that I consider to be the greatest and Messi is one of them I just didnt put him on here. Messi is great but not greater than Maradona at least Maradona made Argentina get that Worldcup in 1986. Messi in the 2014 FIFA World Cup couldn't agaisnt Germany. If he was the greatest I think Argentina would of won and they would of been the champions instead of Germany. Messi would never be on Maradona level point blank. He's great in Spain playing with Barcelona, but when he plays for Argetina is a whole different story. What he does in Barcelona he can't do the same for Argentina cause if that was the case Argentina would of won it in 2014, peace.

Again, I am not insinuating that Messi is on the level of Maradona. And I am not claiming that the players you listed are not great players.

All I am saying is that you listed 36 of the greatest to ever play the game and you did not list Messi. You saying that you "put etc." at the end and "messi is one of them" is still a slight on Messi.

Like I said, I am not the most knowledgeable soccer fans, but I do know that any soccer historians would laugh in someone's face if they tried to say Messi is not a top 36 player of all time.

Dinho

Dinho,Zizou and Ronaldo at their peak are the best I've seen. Messi and CR7 are close though

Yeah, I put Chicharito on there cause remember people this is my list and that's how I want it. Mark my words he's going to be considered one of the greatest to ever come out of Mexico.

I think people reacting like this over my list is something very childish from their part, just for one name that I left out and is the end of the world for them. At least give me some credit/props for putting on there Pelé, Diego Maradona, Franz Beckenbauer, Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima aka Original Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane aka Zizou & Cristiano Ronaldo. People could laugh and crack jokes etc. if they want about any other player on my list, but really the joke is on them cause all these players mention on my list they are professional soccer players, who have made a lot of money doing what they love which is playing the sport and they have their diehard fans etc. I never came on here with some type of disrespect. I just came on here cause I love the sport.

No offense man but you have a lot to learn about the sport. Keep learning and keep enjoying it fam.

Nice one, not! So you seem to know more than me is that it lol, by now you should have a job at ESPN.

I been watching soccer for a very long time I know enough. I remember how I used to watch on tv the original FOX SPORTS WORLD. I'm a big Arsenal fan and I could go on. With that being said don't be assuming stuff and get your facts straight about me, peace.

Look man. No one was trying to "disrespect" you. We just find it absolutely absurd that you can list THIRTY SIX of the best players in the history of the sport and omit someone that many consider to be rated as high as top 10, top 5 or maybe even the best to ever do it. As many good players as you may have listed, leaving out someone who is unanimously considered one of the best to ever do it, completely invalidates your list. I'm sorry you dont feel that way, but its reality.

It would be like me making a best 36 baseball players of all time list and leaving out Babe Ruth. Or best 36 basketball players of all time and leaving out Magic Johnson. Both would be absolutely ridiculous....and similar to what you just did.

Oh....and Messi winning yet another ballon d'or doesnt help matters either.
