Zidane vs Ronaldo

Apprarently, Ronaldo Luis is lesser known than Cristiano Ronaldo. Do you actually know who this person was? What a joke. Firstly, Ronaldo scored more goals because he was a striker. For those who don't know, this is the player who is responsible for scoring the goals for a team. Meanwhile, Zidane was a creative midfielder. His job is too create the chances for the likes of Ronaldo to score. If you ever watched Zidane, then you would see the passes he gave to his team mates. Furthermore, the number of appearances is in favour of Zidane, demonstrating that his manager plays him more than Ronaldo as he was more valuable to the team. By the way, if you didn't know, the greatness of a player isn't measured by numbers. It's by what he has done on a pitch. That's why the defender Franz Beckenbauer is rated so highly. Of course, the real Ronaldo is better than Cristiano Ronaldo, as if a real football fan wouldn't know that. 1 -- Arguing that scoring two goals in a World Cup Final is insignificant astounds me. Have you ever watched one of them. It just proves that Zidane has the ability to perform when his team needs him most and he can deliver on the biggest stage. Furthermore, if you didn't know already, France beat Brazil 3-0 in that Final. Ronaldo was playing. 2 -- Instead of claiming that we cannot compare them, why not acknowledge the fact again, that when needed on a big stage, Zidane doesn't disappoint. It seems as though you find scoring goals in tournaments as insignificant. Moreover, actually watching the performances would make clear for you the class that Zidane had whilst playing football. 3 -- If a midfielder and a striker score the same amount of goals, then the midfielder has done the better job. Moreover, if you have watched the penalty and still arrogantly find it to be insignificant, then leave this debate. You will never understand football. To have the bottle, to chip Buffon in a World Cup Final. Enough said. 4 -- Funny, it seems my opponent doesn't think France beat Brazil in the 2006 World Cup. Then insults me. Nice try mate. France beat Brazil 1-0, Ronaldo was playing and it was Zidane who passed the ball for the French goal. Try again mate. 5 -- Both have won it 3 times, both second place once and Zidane has come third twice and Ronaldo once. Zidane superior in your beloved statistics. 6 -- Again, it is clear that my opponent knows nothing about football and just went onto wikipedia. "Ligue 1 is french only, and Serie A is Italian only." NO. Ligue 1 is the top league in France. Serie A is the top league in Italy. Zidane won best player in both leagues. This shows he was a top player who could adapt his performances to different playing environments. Additionally, Ronaldo played in Serie A for both Inter Milan and AC Milan. He never won best player in that league, even though he played for two teams there. "of These are 3 leagues, Brazil doesn't even play in 2 of them." <-- FAIL MUCH? Brazil isn't a person. Ronaldo is. Completely failed on that point. 7 -- I fail to understand what you mean here. Again, someone who doesn't know football trying to speak about it -- becomes babble. It doesn't matter if my quotes are from wiki or your stats are from wiki. This is what other great footballer have said about Zidane. What right do you have to disregard their statements. You didn't even know who Ronaldo was. Joke. Furthermore, Con decides that Ronaldo isn't considered in legacy?? Have you actually read about Ronaldo. He was considered by many to be one of the greatest strikers of all time. He and Zidane were both galacticos. Thats the reason I started this debate. It is near impossible to place one higher than the other. What I wanted was a football fan to come a debate this with me so it would be interesting. All thats happened, is a joker called imabench decided to accept. Actually, isn't the quote -- "All geniuses are flawed." ?? Anyways, I reiterate my earlier point which is that the dignity of women should be upheld at all times and can never be breached and whatever the situation, it must be dealt with swiftly to ensure that it won't happen again. I was hoping to have an engaging debate with a fellow football fan but instead I got this. I do not apologise for my tone. Con just pasted numbers and then demonstrated his clear disability with regards to football. Do not accept another debate on football, for the sake of the instigator.
