Well Sterling has his own thread so its only right this guy does, He's just sensational. It gets battered about a lot who's the best footballer in the world , surely it has to be him. In my opinion it is  |

Won't get any argument from me. Even in a Messi vs Ronaldo debate, Cristiano wins hands down for me.
The varying types of goals he scores. He's done it at different clubs against tough opposition. Achieved international success. That's before his goals to games ratio, which is just ridiculous. We're blessed to have 2 of the finest footballers to have graced a pitch in the same generation. |

Agree completely. Once in an era players and we have them both |

Fair play to him.
I saw Best live, Pele in his heyday (admittedly only on TV) ditto Maradona, Cruyff, and pretty much all of the greats in the last 40 odd years.
However Ronaldo is that cut above. For his dedication, longevity, and his stats I will give him the number one spot. |

Ronaldo has got where he is through hard work and sheer bloody mindedness. I never saw Pele play live so it's difficult for me to compare, but for me Ronaldo is right up there with him and just ahead of Messi. My only issue with Ronaldo is his arrogance - that bloody smirking and winking just winds people up the wrong way sometimes. |

A fantastic player undeniably but his on field histrionics including a proclivity for diving and rolling around in spates of poorly acted ‘agony’ will always keep him outside of my top ten players of all time.
Now the likes of the original Ronaldo on the other hand..... |

I used to think he was a right pick. He'd cross the ball, a team mate scores and he's the one trying to claim the credit.
would love to see him back on our screens every week. He's got a problem with Bale and I don't like that.
I don't see him doing that now but I do see him giving everything for his country, the complete player, the complete captain. He's an inspiration to his team mates, a dream for their national manager.
Probably the best player I've ever watched on the TV. I was chuffed for him when they won the euros and deserved to beat my beloved country on the way (semis).
I'd hate to see him kicked, injured and ruled out of the WC

If I was that good at something and getting the money and adulation he gets i guess it would be difficult to not become so arrogant. After all iam the best.

as up his own arse as he is, he backs it up on the pitch, the guy is class."
Earned the right to be arrogant.

"As a side note to this... without the guy, portugal offer very little"
They won the Euro's that way... and I'd say the main rivals from outside Europe don't stack up to much.
Cheeky £20 on Portugal for the title? |

He went up as a person in my estimation recently, on finding out he gives a lot of his money away to charity; buying gifts for friends and team mates and paying for hospital treatment for others.

He is giving €18.2m to Spain soon as well in unpaid taxes. Rather than 2 years in prison.
But yeah like so many we hear about, gives a big chunk of his fortune away to charity. |

He is not only a great footballer ! He is a great son , brother and father !
Even tho his father was not a good example ! We was only 11 years old ,we went to live in Lisbon without his family ,to Pursue his dream !
He is number one in the world ! And Portugal and the world are very proud of him ! He helps many charities ! He gives it all when he plays and works so hard !

Can't argue with that ability. He's probably the best all round player the world has seen. I heard today that he's now the all time leading international scorer. Speaks for himself. Oh and I'm not even really a fan btw, I think he's a bit of an arsehole to be honest but credit where it's due. |

Ronaldo is a fantastic player and as a Man Utd fan I feel he is the best player to have played for Man Utd since 1982 and can be considered a all time great for Man Utd and world football.We have been fortunate to have Ronaldo and Messi competing at the same time.Who is the better this is not sour grapes but I feel Messi edges it. |

Ronaldo, probably the best of this generation. Different persona on the field to off it. Does fantastic work for charity away from the game. Works incredibly hard to be as good as he is.
Thankfully growing out of the hystryonics of his early years, although still prone to the occasional hissy fit.
Now, Pepe, biggest cry baby, falling over, cheating cnut in the game at the moment. |

I always think he is amazing and how most players when hit 39 they decrease in speed skill and power so adapt to meet changes. However Ronald is getting better and better he looks stronger and faster at World Cup and is a dominant force
In the messi v Ronaldinho thing Ano lots ppl think messi cos his skill etc but based on age and stuff Ronald is actually better
Just my view lol |

Well yeah they are a small country in regards to football.
Portugal as enough to offer Cristiano done well , but not by himself with support of his team!
Portugal regards football is small ! But they won the euro 2016 ! Portugal reached the semi finals of euro 2000 ,2006 World Cup ,euro 2012,as well final euro 2004 ! Is small but has his name in football! |

I cant deny he is one of the best to ever play the game but to me Messi is the greatest I've seen. Messi at his peak would pick up the ball in his own half, beat four or five players including the goalie and tap it in. Pure footballer. Ronaldo is a machine though. |

An awesome footballer, yes, but I'd describe him as a massive cock rather than a bit of an arsehole! He's such a winker ha ha. |

You reckon he does his own accounting?
I rather suspect he had no clue what was going on until the taxman came knocking. |
