There has been so much hype about Ronaldo, and rightly so for his performances in the Premiership over the past two/three years but do we have another Thierry Henry on our hands? He loves playing against teams like Wigan, Newcastle and the like but for me he goes missing when the big games come around. In both Barcelona legs, Messi proved himself to have the edge over the Portugese winger. Who can remember the Champions league Semi last season? He got found out by AC Milan. A team discovered a way to stop him so he started sulking, just the same way Henry did for France. International coaches were tactically sound enough to realise by defending deep against the frenchman, he turned in subdued, average performances without having the space in behind to exploit. Henry would then cry at news conferences complaining about this.

Until Ronaldo can take a big game by the scruff of the neck, the way greats like Zidane,Maradona,Cruyff and Beckenbauer did in the past then a question mark looms over him in my personal opinion. I'd love to see him do it, I do not in anyway have a hatred for the player, I just dislike the belief that he is already a player with which people are including in the same sentences as the greats.

So true! I feel the same way,Ronaldo is OVERRATED!
He is not worth the hype.

Ronaldo - Dribble Dribble Dribble Stepover Stepover Dribble Dribble Dribble Lose the ball.

That is what usually happens,What I'm trying to say is that Ronaldo goes for style,And he has NOT matured at all,I mean you dont see Messi winking after scoring! I mean he may be the best,But you shouldnt be arrogant and think that way! I mean look at Kaka,He's not arrogant at all.  Simply put,Ronaldo is Overrated. I dont care what anyone else has to say,But I think Ronaldo is a diver and is overrated and doesnt deserve to be called "the best in the world".

How can you say he has not matured. That's the main reason he is so good today. He doesn't over do his dribbling as he used to when he came to Man U. SAF realizes that and always brings it up to the media. Ronaldo is not what you described him to be in your post. He still dribbles but he doesn't lose the ball at the end of his dribbling. Instead of doing that, he now gives a great outlet pass or puts the ball in the goal.

Exactly. He also drags defenders towards him to open up space to other players.

He has 42 goals in one season as a winger. I'm convinced, honestly. It's hard to say, though, I still think Suazo is a better all around player.

Yeah, and the Euros coming up too. He lost in 04 when Portugal were clear favourites, so I think he's mighty determined and has great confidence with two trophies and all those individual honours.  :biggrin:

WHAT?!? This is ridiculous. I started this post, merely saying he cannot be compared to the greats yet and still went missing in big games. Suazo a better player? A better all round player? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...hysterical

Ronaldo is usually given the benefit of doubt because of his reputation,I've seen him dive many a times.

Wait...are you mentally stable? How can you not realize that Suazo is already a great player? To come all the way from Honduras and make it at Inter Milan, helping them secure another title, and two years ago leading the Serie A in goal scoring while on CAGLIRARI! See if Ronaldo could score 40 goals while on Birmingham. It's plain and simple: Suazo has a better all around game.
