Re: Wanna have a laugh? Goal.com Top50

I have no idea how goal ranks these, is it based on trophies/performance wise/individual

by FalcaoPunch Mon Aug 06, 2012 4:35 pm

For the most part every single person on this forum would have a different top 50. So it isn't really safe to call this top 50 a joke despite some of the positions.

The only consistency we would all see if we were to put together a top 50 would honestly begin at the top 5...maybe top 10.

by S32TABLANCA Mon Aug 06, 2012 10:41 pm

1. Cristiano ( Very Happy

)
2. Messi
3. Pirlo
4. Iniesta
5. Casillas
6. Drogba
7. Xavi
8. Van Persie
...

Please dont ever compare the two. Basti isnt even beter than Hargreaves. The guy is ovverated ffs. Ballack was in a different league.

by Valkyrja Tue Aug 07, 2012 12:04 am

Gundogan is better. The Germany NT should take out most of the Bayern players in order to win WC.

This has to be the biggest joke ever.

Just curious as to how some of you would rank these. For me Zlatan is definitely 15 on the list followed by van Persie (who receives waaaaay too much hate on this forum. Then there is Falcao at 17 with Benz and Aguero finishing 18 and 19. Thoughts?

by McLewis Tue Aug 07, 2012 1:54 am

Our poor season is the only reason DDR's not on this list, I'd say. His euro performances were overlooked clearly. Not surprised.

The love from Le Sam is appreciated though :bow:

oh and Deuce in the Top 50 :bow:

. Following in Lando's boots.

by Real Kandahar Tue Aug 07, 2012 5:20 am

the list has to be politically correct
its not about the best player according to ability, its about those who won major cups and competitions OR went far in it or were important in their team's success

think about it as collective success not an individualistic performance... hence why huntellar is not in top 30 despite being best bundesliga goal scorer

Messi is 3rd Laughing

Casillas 2nd and Ronaldo 1st.

by rwo power Tue Aug 07, 2012 9:16 am

Well, didn't someone already mention that LOL.com and CRonaldo are both sponsored by Castrol? Laughing

So, I added 1-3 to the first post now.

by fatman123 Tue Aug 07, 2012 9:27 am

how can you put CR ahead of Iker (let alone messi)

if we base it purely on silverware and forget about individual peformances, Iker and CR are equal at club level, but at international level Iker flogged CR

goal.com :facepalm:

“It’s a matter of pride for me to win this award," the 27-year-old said, after claiming the award for the second time. "I would not have been able to do it without the support of my team-mates.”

by rwo power Tue Aug 07, 2012 9:38 am

Well, Goal.com claimed that Marco Reus was also proud of being listed. I wonder if they really interviewed him or if they fabricated the statement, though. ^^

goal.com

with ur logic, CR and grenaro are equal for club level, since they both play for madrid :coffee:

forget the 46 goals, CR scored against every la liga team, including 4 or 5 against barcelona last season.. 2 against munich, and many others i can't remember
