Eto'o vs Suarez : who was Closer of the ballon d'or ?

[Temptation]

Neither Suarez nor Eto'o ever deserved any Best Player in the World awards.

Not the main man in any of their CL or League victories(ATM's league victory hero was Oblak).

Great strikers though. One of the best of their own generation.

 

[KingLeo10]

Both had better careers than Lewandowski, when you compare individual + winning big trophies.

Especially Eto'o with 3 CLs and 2 CL final goals (both decisive), 2 back to back trebles.

 

[Temptation]

Lewandowski's credentials as a main man and individual stats at every level destroy these bums.


Won a sextuple as the main man, topscorer, best player in every competition. Won major trophies at 3 of the top 10 European clubs as a star player. Scored at a similar rate to Peak Messi and Ronaldo at his best and has as many goals as Ronaldo had in his best calendar year.


Not even gonna talk about longevity and consistency. Despite being robbed multiple times, one has way more individual accolades than the other 2 combined.


Utterly delusional as usual. Arguing based on emotions and petty dislikes.


Don't worry though. You're playing to the gallery for the perfect audience here.

Insane amount of copium

Both Eto'o and Suarez have superior trophy cabinets, especially big trophies. No one cares about 10 Bundesliga in a row when like 7-8 other Bayern players have the same

"RL9" the main man with his 0 CL final goals or assists in 2 CL finals Very main man stuff

Longevity - "RL9" edges it here but Suarez's prime was fairly long as well - almost 8ish years, considering he won Copa in 11 as the best player in tournament and was a force in the 2010 WC as well. "RL9" was some B grade player in Poland back then.

 

[Temptation]

Suddenly League Titles don't count as major trophies.


Lewandowski won 2 league titles with Dortmund(against Bayern) before 10 with Bayern and 1 with Barcelona.


Has way better goalscoring credentials in league Football, cup Football, CL and even in International Football for fuckin Poland.


Funny how RL9 still has way more individual accolades than the other 2 combined despite being robbed multiple years.



RL9 has way better statistics than both in knockout stages too. Cherry-picking on a sample size of 2 close games says it all.


RL9 has the facts, stats, records and all the tangible metrics in his favour. You can cry in a corner with your emotions, shifting goalposts and coping.



Eto'o won a CL with Inter after being shoved out to the wings in favour of Milito. Suarez was third fiddle to Messi and Neymar and embarassed himself on the biggest stage of club Football for years(0 away goals in 6 long years).

 

[KingLeo10]

Did this fool just say "RL9" has better international career than Suarez?

Stat-padding in friendlies and qualifiers doesn't count - I can't remember a single memorable KO win/performance orchestrated by "RL9" at the international level No one's asking him to win trophies, but all he's done is get beatdown at the national level in games which matter.

 

[Temptation]

A World Cup Round of 16 and Euro Quarter Final with Poland being eliminated by the finalist and champion respectively.


Helped them qualify for numerous international tournaments performing in do-or-die situations like qualifier knockout vs Sweden.


No one can do anything more with his National Team lmao.


Suarez won a Copa with the most successful nation in Copa history being in an international Tier 2 powerhouse team. Copa which is a 10 team tournament organised at a frequency of 4 times in 6 years. No one even talked about the Copa before one guy with a rabid fanbase finally won it in his millionth attempt.

Etoo is the historic goal scorer of the African nations cop (goal tally).
To me eto = Suarez.

Suarez has something over etoo (heading and aerial balls )
Etoo has something over Suare ( ability to pass and coordinate )

Eto'o has more pace too. More clutch probably.

 

[KingLeo10]

This guy really counting making a R of 16 in the WC as an achievement?

Not much of a "main man" if he can't even win you 1 important WC KO game in his whole career, is he

 

[Temptation]

Yeah, expecting one of the weakest Poland teams to beat Footballing powerhouse France in a WC knockout is totally something a normal man with a functioning brain would do.

PS: RL9 did score in that game.

 

[KingLeo10]

'Main man' 'RL9' with his 'insane longevity' had like 3-4 campaigns to register a single WC KO win

@Temptation

Don't know if u trolling or deluded. Lewa doesn't belong to the category of Etoo Suarez or henry (henry slightly above the other two)

Out of all ur deluded criteria u chose longetivity against whom ? Fucking Suarez and etoo lol etoo being world class for 10 years with 3 different teams in 2 leagues + national team and Suarez the same. Just take a look at the goals compilations of lewa and the other 2 and u will see why they are not the same species .

Yet Lewy reached a higher peak, has better aggregate statistics at all levels and has more individual accolades, trophies and consistency than both.


About goal compilations, you are clearly clueless because Lewandowski has scored all kinds of goals starting from headers to free kicks to long shots to acrobatic goals to volleys to solo goals. Also a more complete player than both coz they're weak in the air and have flawed game with their back to the goal. Prime Lewandowski was the perfect striker and had no flaws in his game. Had more pace than peak Suarez.



This is one of the main reasons Lewandowski scores at a higher rate. He has many ways to convert and get a goal. Eto'o and Suarez are more specific and specialised kinds of strikers with specific strengths and weaknesses. Clearly biased coz you ain't got a clue about Lewandowski's all round game.

 

[KingLeo10]

Prime Lewandowski was the perfect striker and had no flaws in his game.

How come he only made 1 CL final (in COVID format) in all those years at Bayern and put in disasterclasses against AM, RM, Pool and co.?

"Perfect striker"
