Ronaldo will probably never be as good as Eusebio, unless he brings the small country of Portugal glory in the future (near future in Euro 200  , and I doubt Messi will ever touch what Diego Maradonna did with club (Napoli) and country.
Forget potential at this point, Ronaldo and Messi aren't even close to being the best of this generation, yet best 'ever'. But Ronaldo is getting better every year, and Messi is...well he can almost play a full season, so that's porgression I guess  |
I think we'll make better judgment of that when Messi's 22, when C.Ronaldo started to play into the level he's at night (And yet most people still think he's inferior to little old Messi
).
As far as i'm concerned, Zidane and Ronaldo are right up there with Maradona - as for Pele, most brazilians believe Garrincha was better, Pele just more popular, so in a way was Garrincha better than Maradona?
It's all bollox, Messi has the potential to eclipse the lot of them though, the talent he has is limitless, and he's fulfulling it each and every seasons, injuries or no injuries.
