Cristiano Ronaldo vs Ronaldinho

A debate that has brought up some good points from both sides..

who and why?

Which Ronaldo?

my bad, Cristiano. I wouldnt really compare the other Ronaldo to Ronaldinho.

Don't like either of them.

change the title to Ronaldinho at his prime. The current form of both players would make it too obvious of a choice.

We are taking everything into consideration, it would be unfair to only have Ronaldinho in his prime, but still count Ronaldo's first while at United when he was only settling in, and was fairly hit and miss.

Ronaldinho no competition, he was born to play football

If it was Brazilian Ronaldo I'd have to think pretty hard about it

No one would compare him to Cristiano Ronaldo when he first came to United, that would be idiotic. Dinho is pretty much done playing at a high level while Ronaldo still is, and still will be for several more years to come.

Comparing how fast players settle into different leagues is idiotic?

Ronaldo.

He's stupidly good.

I think Ronaldo's more efficient but I'd rather watch Ronaldinho.

Ronaldo.

Through all the bum licking and haters, he is actually an incredible player. More valuable to a team than Ronaldinho in his prime imo.

I edited that.

Your bringing other things into this, you should only compare them based on what they bring to each team and how much they have done. Comparing how quickly they settled in to Leagues is a bit meaningless. They are both 2 different players, one is an out and out goal scorer, the other is the perfect playmaker. But the question is (and it was the same one at the EA forums) Ronaldinho at his prime vs Cristiano Ronaldo right now, who would you pick?

ronaldinho

Ronaldinho has more class, skill and creativity but Ronaldo is the better goal scorer.

I think Ronaldinho is just ahead atm but Ronaldo is still playing at top level and will probably over take him in the near future.

Its not meaningless at all.. and like I said we are talking everything into consideration, not just on top form.

I answered the question. Problem?

Honestly we should let the neutrals decide this. United/Madrid fans will choose Ronaldo, while Barcelona fans/Brazilians will choose Ronaldinho. I try not to be biased, but seeing the things Ronaldinho did for PSG, Brazil, and Barcelona have all been ridiculous. I've watched Ronaldo enough to know how he plays and what he brings to a team.

Ronaldo is a better goalscorer, Ronaldinho is the superior player.

in what way is he "superior" to Ronaldo?

Ronaldo.

Ok so what else are we bringing into this? Ability, International achievements, more leagues played, consistency, in game performances, stats, speed, strenght, vision, "wow" factor. You name it. We can have a good debate over this.

This, Ronaldo is more direct.

Better passer, more creative, better dribbler, better touch, stronger(yes you read that right)

Ronaldinho in prime = untouchable. Far harder to shut out of a game than Ronaldo.

Agreed.

Ofcourse... its not fair to compare players and leave out things like that.

I personally think Ronaldinho during his prime as just as good as, if not better than Messi is now. So yeah I think he's a hell of a lot better than CR.

I don't think anyone from recent years are even close to Messi.
