zidane? lolnope. fatnaldo? maybe
>>63875498
what's your point
>>63875492
People try so hard to come across as well informed about the history of football that they force these memes like Pele was the best footballer, or fatnaldo is better than CR.
Bottom line is, Messi is the greatest ever and deep down inside we all know it
did zidane ever score in 21 consecutive games? 33 goals in 21 games? stay booty blasted
>>63875534
Zidane was a midfielder
>Ronaldo
can people please stop mentioning him in the same sentence as messi
he is nothing more but a consistent Chicharito, Gomez, Vardy, Kane
he's doing the exact same thing they did at some points in their career, only for 6 seasons straight.
>>63875551
Which is why he is the goat you kek
>implying Scholes isn't the true GOAT
rivaldo > zidane
>>63875551
you forget that he was a great winger once
>>63875543
So was Lampard and Platini.

>worst player on a world cup side is as good as GOATs
I don't think Zidane is the best of all time but he did lead a team to a world cup, something that Messi or Ronaldo couldn't do.
>Messi lead them to a gold final match
well so did Zidane, at the age of 35, a old decade older than Messi is now
They all played 1 position. Messi can be false 9, RW or midfielder and still bang goals, assists for fun.
>>63875598
He didn't 'lead' the team he was invisible the whole tournament and scored two in the final.
>>63875616
Wasn't he banned for a couple games or was that a different competition?
>>63875553
> Which is why he is the tap in master you kek
ftfy
>There are people who are so clouded by nostalgia that think Ronaldo is as good as Vardy
>>63875616
>invisible whole tournament
>scores brace in world cup final
Something doesn't match up here
>>63875627
He didn't play against Denmark and Paraguay because he got red carded against Saudi Arabia.
>>63875647
>misses two games
>didn't do anything in the other 4 games
He played a great final but I'd wager France would have won without him. Brazil were rattled.
>>63875684
would you say they would have reached the 2006 final without him?
>>63875531
>memes like fatnaldo is better than CR
poor quality b8 lad

>le headbutt african
he's shit
Redondo > Zidane
>>63875865
busquets > zidane
Zidane is probably the most skilled player ever, though he was always disadvantaged athletically. He was never fast or strong and never had a low centre of gravity, but in terms of elegance and feel for the game he's the best I've seen. Messi is probably the GOAT though.
>>63875808
This is how I see it:
1998
Shit during the tournament
GOAT during the Final
2006
GOAT during the tournament
Fucked up beyond belief in the Final
He was just so inconsistent and prone to being anonymous. At his best he was truly amazing.
Not as good as Messi no, but better than Cristiano.
People get blinded by stats. Zidane's technique and influence in big games is light years ahead of Cristiano's, but because CR can put 50 a season past cannon fodder i guess that's enough for some people to rate him with the GOATs.
>>63876570
>1998
>Shit during the tournament
Bit of an exaggeration. In the WC awards he was voted in the team of the tournament, and came 6th in the player of the tournament voting, and these things are done before the final is played.
>>63876171
yeah he had an insane ball control for a tall guy that you'd expect to be lanky and play as a CB
>>63875991
>>63875492
>compare Messi or Ronaldo to Zidane
>not comparing Iniesta to Zidane
hmmmmmmm
>>63876860
That webm truly illustrates how overrated Zidane is.

>it's an american comment about "soccer"
This thread is a poorly disguised Penaldo thread, why else would he include that shitter in the same stratosphere as Messi
>>63876171
Elegance looks great and all but who gives a fuck.
BRonaldo could've been better than CR but wasn't. leo is better than all tho.
>>63876872
In terms of still in the position they play in. Busquets is better than Zidane
>>63877130
This is why people think Zidane is GOAT when he a big fucking meme. Compilations of le flicky flick trick skills make him look better than he was
> Penaldo's name next to messi
lol

People under 25 should be banned from this board imho
