politik said:Bahahaha what a retard. The Brazilian league SHITS all over the EPL. In fact, everytime one of those shit European teams has come to South America to play a club side they've been bitched. Remember Real Madrid's schlacking at the hands of Boca Juniors after their Champions League win? I could find a few 18 year olds in Brazil/Argentina who are better than Ruud.
Seriously, the game exists outside of Europe too.
Yes, nothing has changed since the good old days when I used to have multiple page arguments with HeCtic and Dianna about him. His Portuguese nationality probably does have alot to do with him being my favourite player...but regardless of where he was from...I just love the exciting (even if sometimes frustrating) way that he plays. I also still think that he is destined to be the best footballer on the planet someday .LMF^^ said:Haha Matty you still love Ronaldo that much...? Or is it just a Portuguese thing...?
Those stats for assists are pathetic for both players. For Ruud though, I guess that the lack of assists can be attributed to the fact that almost every time he touches the ball...it is slammed into the back of the net.Led-Zep said:And for assists RVN is greater also, RVN= Assists 9 whilst Ronaldo = Assists 3.
This is combined for 2001-2006 for both..
Ur right they r not the same type of strikers, Ronaldo is an Henry kind of player while Ruud is ur typical gunner, they both rely on different things, Ruud relies on pure striking ability while Fatnaldo as he called these days attempt to dribble ooponents down before slotting the ball home, but end of the day if i wanted Goals, i trust in Ruud over Fatnaldo. Thats why i tip Ruud for Golden Boot if Holland progresses pass QTR Finals. Not to mention Ruud has a pt to make it was unlucky he did'nt make it last time round this time he ain't holding back lol. This is very possibly both of em's last time at a WC.Benny_ said:It's nice that you went to such lengths to prove me wrong, but I was referring to the fact that they're different types of players. I guess I didn't make myself clear.
Fat Ronaldo is, once again, a different type of player to RvN. I don't know why you insist on equating all strikers to the same role. For pure goal scoring, there are few better than RvN, no one will argue with that.
Haha yeah, because playing against south american team is SOOOOOO much more important than focuing on Champions League and their own respective league..afterall, defeating a team from South America achieves nothing BUT PRIDE!!!politik said:Haha yeah, and why spend millions on their players?
You're saying football in South America now is better than what it is in Europe now, going back further is stupid because what happened more than 10 years ago is essentially irrelevant to current form.politik said:Go back further.
Who do you think Domenech will replace him with? Surely he can't make the same foolish mistake twice and leave Guily out again? Although considering that Cisse is a striker, perhaps Anelka should be brought in?Komit said:Cisse broke his leg again. Snapped it very similarly to his last one. Poor guy.
2 contenders Anelka or Giuly and a fat chance Pires.matt#1 said:Who do you think Domenech will replace him with? Surely he can't make the same foolish mistake twice and leave Guily out again? Although considering that Cisse is a striker, perhaps Anelka should be brought in?
You're an idiot, the Argentina England rivalry only started after '86, not very long ago, thanks to Maradona and his Hand of God.politik said:Woah calm down there, surely you know about South American and European rivalry? Argentina v England? Brazil v Germany? Brazil v Italy? Uruguay v Germany? These rivalries have been around looooong before you and I. *yawn*
