Controversial football opinions

Messi isn't all that

[Myself 793]

I don't think players before the 90s should be included in the "best of all time" lists. They were only great in their time. Football has really evolved with training methods and tactics etc that there is no way most of them can really be considered better than modern players.

well I guess Maradona isn't one of the greatest ever then.

I'd say if you put him in today's game he would be a less effective.

Messi is better than Maradona & Pele, most of us here are 90's babies anyway, so it's not like you've seen every game Pele has played. Messi is youtube generation, 'everything' is scrutinised.. imagine a coke snorting Maradona in THIS era.

THIS! No one here probably has seen more than a handful of his games, but cause some old guys think he's the best everyone feels like they have to agree.

Kaka in his height wa the greatest, most amazing footballer I've ever seen.

Or maybe imagine Messi playing under the scrutiny of HGH..

but for some reason, everyone outside of USA doesnt care about that.

I wouldnt be surprised if a ton of athletes used HGH or something else these days. Took alex rodriguez all these years to admit to ped use and lance armstrong always denied it.

I liked Kaka better in 2005 than in 2007 when he was Ballon D'Or. He was amazing in 2005.

lukaku would have been better for us this season than Drogba

I loved the Kaka of 05-07. Made this game we all love look so damn easy.

He was amazing and he made things look so easy.

But in my opinion R9 Ronaldo was the best ever in his prime. Dribbling at breakneck speeds, power and incredible football intelligence. He was the epitome of talent for me. Such a shame he fell from grace. A bit sad when you realise that quite a few Brazillian superstars just lose their edge when they are supposed to be at their peak (Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka)

Mark Noble should have had a moderately long England career. Quite an underrated player over the years.

Steve McLaren was better for England than Hodgson currently is.

Mourinho is just as good as getting the most out of players as he is at destroying them.
