Physical acts of genius [sports gods]

He scored 47 goals in 49 games when he was like nineteen and playing for Barca. An absolute monster hampered by injuries.

And like Haaland, quite an ugly fella, which makes me respect him more

Nobody wants to see Brad Pitt scoring hat tricks for Real Madrid

Someone had to post him didn't they?

Interesting that Fed vs Nadal is very much akin to the Messi/Ronaldo rivalry – "pure", elegant, balletic genius vs. raw power, biceps, tenacity...

I dunno about the Ronaldo - Pitt comparison. He's in good shape, but is he actually good looking? I've always thought he looked like a creepy waxwork.

Saw a video re: Ronaldo today, essentially saying "Haaland ain't shit"

Anyway, I hadn't seen much of Ronaldo playing before, but it looks like it would have been absolutely terrifying playing against him

I think there is an argument that he reached higher peaks of brilliance or unplayableness than any other player. The thing with Messi and the other Ronaldo is the sheer relentless and seemingly endless consistency of their dominance, to be so good for so long is a remarkable achievement in itself of both and both of them make The Phenomenon or Maradona look like one-season wonders in comparison. But if you ask who was actually the best player at their best moment I'd be tempted to go for Ronaldo Nazario.

Sure. And there would be other players in the mix too no doubt. Just a shame for the game that Ronaldo wasn't at his peak for longer anyhow.

So far this thread has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that football (aka Sarkar) is the greatest sport in the world.
