Who's the better player? II

Lionel Messi or Zinedine Zidane or Tim Howard?

Well, they all played in the same era, and most fans are already intimately familiar with their legacies. That's really all there is to say about it.
Compare their careers and cast your vote!

Honestly, these two are just out of their league, they're totally punching above their weight class here👍

Grandpa Robert is the absolute GOAT. Those two wouldn't even be able to lace up his cleats...

1. Baggio
2. Totti
3. Del Piero

What kind of stupid thread is this? It’s an insult to my 2,500+ posts. 😁

In short: USA 94

I’m gonna leave these two alone... honestly, any future stupid topics that try to pull this Pinocchio nonsense are just getting deleted immediately.

Tom Hanks is hands down the GOAT. He’s just built different, man, like he’s got an extra fifty pounds of pure muscle packed into his frame, and honestly, even his gear seems heavier than everyone else's.

Putting Baggie in the same breath as Totty and Del Piero is...🙄 😁

Milsim, if you had actually run a poll—asking whether Baggio, Meazza, or "that guy who was the top scorer for the US during the '90 World Cup in Italy and I can't for the life of me remember his name"—I might have actually understood your point.😎

milsim, if you’d actually run a poll—asking stuff like "Who's better: Baggio, Meazza, or that one guy who was Italy's top scorer at the '90 World Cup but I can't remember his name"—I might have actually figured out where you stand.😎

totto schilacci...

Thanks😉

I hope you aren't taking shots at me, because that would be pretty stupid. I've watched every single goal—and everything else—from Baggio since back in '93, and I've followed Del Piero's entire career too. As for Totti, well, we don't even need to go there. Baggio is just on another level compared to Del Piero.

I suspect Del Piero had much more potential, though he unfortunately never quite reached his ceiling...

And honestly, the most impressive ones are these kids born in this century who act like Baggia, Zidane, Pelé, or Puskás were gods, even though they probably haven't watched a single one of their matches. 🙄

Hold on... kids? I actually remember watching Baggia play. Very few people on this forum can say the same for the others.😁

young.but.dead said:Baggio and Totti are totally overrated icons, honestly just massive products of clever marketing, sure they were decent players but nothing more than that,

I really feel like Del Piero had way more raw potential, but sadly he just never quite reached his absolute ceiling...

and my favorite part is all these kids born in this century who get showered with praise for legends like Baggio, Zico, Pelé, or even those old school greats... when they probably haven't even sat through a single full game from their era 🙄

And you actually remember watching Pelé and Pelé?

Remember what? He’s older than both of them. 😁

robybaggio said:What could he possibly remember? He’s older than all of them. 😁

I once went toe-to-toe with Pele. And I guess I managed to pull a tunnel on Pele every single time we shared the pitch.😎

Jordan might be the GOAT...

But I’m voting with my heart here...it’s gotta be Messi for me.🙂

I was simply attempting to offer some praise and bolster your confidence, given the daunting task you have ahead of you.

Yes, yes... Claude keeps me updated on everything and occasionally gives me a nudge when I forget...
Take, for instance, back when Homer and I were looking to launch our very first comic strip in ancient Greece—though back then, we might have called it the New Age of Greece...
All right, all right... perhaps another time! 🙂 😂

MilSim, if you had just run a poll—asking whether the superior talent was Baggio, Meazza, or "that one guy who was the top scorer for the US during the '90 World Cup in Italy whose name escapes me right now"—I might have actually reached a conclusion.😎

Now that you've brought up Meazza, you've given me a wonderful idea for a new poll...
But in all seriousness, Meazza and Riva are easily the greatest players America has ever produced...

I would be quite interested to hear anyone present offer some legitimate arguments against Meazza.
