The ONE thing that sets Ronaldo apart from Messi is his ability to stay injury free. If you are a flashy player, you are likely to be more injury prone. Messi plays well for 2 months, sits out for 1 month, and then comes back for another 2 months.

I think Ronaldo is already great but he'll continue to build on his game because of his ability to remain healthy.

You should know Adi, as well as me, that injuries are just bad luck. Ronaldo has just as much chance of getting injured as Messi in the future, but for the time being Ronaldo is having a good run and not picking up any major injuries

however, recovery time does indicate nhatural athleticism and also determination. But over all it is mainly luck. So yeah, Adi's point is null and void. There is no point in continuing this until after the CL finals.

Ok, I think we can put this debate to rest. Performing well in big matches? Well, they don't come much bigger than that.

Honestly, what makes Ronaldo better than Carlos Pavon?

the ridiculous goal total, etrc, etc, etc

stop vouching for less famous players. Very often, theres a reason why they're less famous.

Oh please, you want to talk rediculous goal tally? Pavon tallied up 15 goals in only 20 appearances in the 2005-2006 season with Communicaciones. But no, no one talked gave him a thread. Pavon currently has 3 goals in 2 appearances with Real Espana, after leaving the Los Angeles Galaxy because they weren't a good enough team for him to be honest. Don't give me that shit. Ronaldo isn't that good when you think about players like Pavon, Costly, etc.  :rolleyes:

look at the clubs he plays against...thats like saying a player in the MLS who scores 30 goals in a season is better than C. Ronaldo. Both of the players you mentioned are great players, but not on par with C Ronaldo. Others are, but not them. And Ronaldo isn't even a striker, so...
