Soccer: Best Player ever ?

[Xentinel]

Who's the best player in your own opinion? You can list them too.

Here's my opinion.

Neymar


Eden Hazard


Ronaldo


Im sure theres more .. like Messi, Ronaldinho .. and seriously there are bunch of talented players. But these 3 are my fav .. they are the best.

So what do u think ?

Not hardcore football fan, but Pele

Messi or Ronaldo. Messi is more effective but Ronaldo is a better all round player.

 

[Majora]

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Messi. Maybe the old generation players like Pele and Maradona, but in the current modern game where defenders are stronger and faster, Messi's gotta be best. Though I'm a C. Ronaldo's fan.

Messi hands down :d

ronaldo make it nice while messi make it simple.

Lionel Messi...

"Today there is no doubt Messi, he is the best player today," Pele told ESPNsoccernet.

Pele - App: 1120 - Goals: 1087 - WC - 3
Maradona - App: 589 - Goals: 311 - WC - 1
Michel Platini - App: 580 - Goals: 312
Alfredo Di Stefano - App: 661 - Goals: 661
Johan Cruyff - App: 662 - Goals: 368
Eusebio - App: 571 - Goals : 574
Romario - App: 888 - Goals: 691

There are a ton of greats, but these are the people in the past.

Lionel Messi - App: 317 - Goals: 216
Cristiano Ronaldo - App: 428 - Goals: 223

There is a three year gap between them, but Messi stats are just unbelievable he is about 30 goals off to be the top scorer in Barcelona history, which I believe he will reach this year at only 24 years old.

This season alone Messi has appeared in 18 games scoring 25 goals with 11 assists. He is by far the best footballer of this time. He lacks only the WC, but with that he will be the greatest as he already has played against Europe's best clubs and won the CL 3 times, won a gold medal with Argentina in olympics all he needs his WC.

loved Ronaldiniho back in his barca days definitely the best player to watch imo and Messi is just a whole new level of genius

I was glad to see someone else list Johann Cruyff, hed led the Dutch in a way that totally revolutinized the way soccer could be played.
But for me, as a full time Stopper/Sweeper it has to be...

Franz Beckenbauer

He created this position and showed us how to use our defensive skills on the offense. Do I need to point out that he played in a World Cup game with his arm in a sling due to a fractured clavical[1970 v. Italy]. Tell me that Ronaldo or Messi would do that.
All Hail Der Kaiser!
