Sad day in footballing history. Valentines 2011 the legend calls curtains on his glorious career. He will be missed and will go down as one of the greatest of all time
-
Legend!! No doubt. :040: Unstoppable on his day, but not really a team player though. If one day he doesn't want to run he won't, cause he doesn't have to. His skills carry him. His teammates at Real Madrid use to allow him to slack off in training because they knew he would score goals when matchday arrived.
Also, he just revealed yesterday he suffers from a condition called hypothyroidism which slows your metabolism and makes it harder to lose weight and to control weight gain. Hence his big belly.
-
Yeah, really sad. He'll be missed. I think everyone in the end has a good memory of Ronaldo. Great striker who was unfortunately struck by bad injury luck.
Check out Ronaldo's son under the table when Ronaldo announced his retirement. :grin:

my biggest memory of ronaldo was WC2002, when he made 12 goals and had that hideous hair style... next summer half the kids had the same haircut xD
-
Wasn't it 8 goals? I think he had 15 total World Cup goals. :017:
-
yea it was, but 12th total of wc goals... (WC 98 and WC 02)
-
greatest pure finisher/goalscorer of his generation.
Top 4:
1) Ronaldo
2) Van Nistelrooy
3) Raul
4) Inzaghi
-
Ronaldo created the game for me. Goodbye, brother.
-
My dick... Is sad..
-
Ronaldo was the player that made first play soccer
the world should observe one hour silence
LOL at his kid soo cute
-
silence? did someone die? and one hour!!?? :undecided: lol. And what's first play soccer? :017:
-
lol my bad
made me first play soccer
and YES!!!! the world must honor such a noble man and the best way to do it is 1 hour silence
its a joke kick back i'm just trying to say he was my favourite player and i think one of the greatest of all time
-
Was quite the legend
respect is due where respect is due
-
haha even dead people only get a minute of silence hes only retired. reminiscing watching some of his old videos on youtube... still sad
-

4) Inzaghi
LOL man,
Izaghi WTF, have a lot of Strikers better than his.
-
why not inzaghi? I'm not talking about overall ability with speed, dribbling, strength, passing vision etc. I mean PURE finishers who know how to score goals.
Yes I know guys like messi, tevez, rooney, henry, eto'o are very good but inzaghi still has more goal scoring ability than all of them. He is 2nd top scorer in Champions league history and scored goals for fun in Italian league for countless years. He is a legend......Super Pippo!!! :Woot_Emoticon:
-
Yeah, i agree, he's not skillful player but he's make a lot of goals.
-
Every fun of football must be sad now for that.
jabarinho what about shevchenko?
-
oh i forgot about shevchenko :embarrassed: He is about the same level as inzaghi, but Pippo has been consistent over a longer period of time. Sheva's career crashed at the age of 31 when he became one of Chelsea's biggest flops of all time :cheesy: Actually one of EPL's biggest flops of all time. While super pippo was still banging in the goals at age 37.
If sheva didn't get that bad injury when he was 31 he would probably be still scoring goals. Similar to Michael Owen's injury crisis.

Morientes used to be a good striker too when he was playing for Madrid and Monaco :grin:
-
Indeed, Morientes was good. But I won't give him the same legendary status as Raul, R9, Pippo or RVN.
Morientes is on the same level as guys like Fowler, Owen, Andy Cole etc.
