    I dont mean every year he was the best. But that time frame, all together. Maybe start mid 90s. The only player even close, imo is Ronaldo. Ronaldhino if he wasnt an idiot and had stayed in shape would probably be #1. But instead he is probably like #5. Just wasnt on top long enough cause it all went to his head. Ronaldo I wouldnt argue with though, dude was amazing.

    Watch his highlights. Here are some for everyone.

    First 3 minutes are why he was such an amazing Center Mid...amazing control, move, balance and passing. Then it shows how amazing he was at finishing. Something most players with footskills lack. Some of the best goals ever. Then amazing passing.

    Plus, he showed up in big games. WC Final 2 goals and a win. Took France to Euro glory and another WC Final.

    Fact
    I agree, no question. But I can see the argument for Ronaldo. Best striker over the last 30 years? Probably more?
