simple question for my brehs in the know...is this year (96/97) by Ronaldo the greatest year of any futbol player ever?

not talking just accomplishments but in terms of excitement, dominance, and awards...do you see it as such

There are so many great soccer players in history. I couldn't rank them. But Ronaldo was special.

Edit - I was going to say it was a big deal when he came to MLS but I was confusing him with Thierry Henry

:mjlol:

Henry was great too though :ufdup:

He was good but he's not even the best player from his country, that's obviously Pele.

Brazilian Ronaldo at his peak was probably the best out and out striker / pure number 9 of all time though.

A lot of people in Brasil, that were old enough to watch that era of football, will argue all day that Garrincha was better than Pelé.

Put it like this, he suffered a couple career ending injuries, became fat, and still won a wc and ballon dor. it will put into perspective how good he was in 96/97.
