Marco Van Basten V Ronaldo
Re: Marco Van Basten V Ronaldo
When Italians, who live on technique, and how to shut it down, nickname someone "the phenomenon", that should tell us all something. Ronaldo in full flight is to behold. We saw a hint of that just this weekend when he dribbled past 4 Depor players ... But you are welcome to stick with MVB whom I saw in his prime as well. He was a fantastic player, but Ronnie is far far better.

PEACE!!!

Are you sure you would find a brazilian who would agree with you? Cuz I doubt it, and that should tell you something. In Brazil, they rank players by how many WCs they have won, since Pele has 3. Ronaldo has 2 arguably, but he certainly has a silver medal too, and is 2nd all time scorer for the "Canarinhas". I love Romario as an innate goalscorer, but Ronnie pass him kwatakwata .

Re: Marco Van Basten V Ronaldo
So you are judging MVB on what might have been? Do you know what Ronnie would do if he was not fat?

Put Ronaldo in the squad Van Basten played with and put Van Basten in the squad Ronaldo played with and see if Van Basten wouldn't have won the world cup!mlkama wrote:Based on what? The only thing Marco could do better than Ronnie was head the ball. Otherwise, Ronaldo is better in every other aspect. And he has capped it with a WC medal.

it just depends on what kind of striker you like!they are both excellent with different attributes. like sm1 said here ronaldo might be better to watch but when it comes to scoring from any given angle ( so far as that ball is in the box) i will pick van basten. marco is trezeguet but in a much better version with better accuracy in front of goal, better speed and more skills. a team like chelsea currently would need sm1 like him unfortunetly he is not around anymore! make the least mistake in the box and marko will punish you. ill go for him...but very tight call indeed.

Kolinzo,
We are not talking hypothetical situations b/c u never know what would actually happen. What did MVB do in the 1990 WC with Koeman, Gullit, and Rijkaard in the team?

Re: Marco Van Basten V Ronaldo
The OP was comparing MVB to the real (Brazilian) Ronaldo and not CR9...
