9 - Robert Lewandowski

Especially that Ted Mosby lookalike GK Ochoa who only exists in WCs.

legend guy

Hope all Barca players get knocked out in the group stages. No need for them to risk injuries and get fatigued. The club competitions are more important than this fake WC.

Would love a decent World Cup run for Lewy.

Atleast till the knockout stages....

Are Poland better than Mexico???

Lewy alone is better than Mexico.

 

[Barcilliant]

Someone fill me in on Romario. He's the Brazilian legend I know the least about. How good was the guy really??

Best finisher I've ever seen. Truly great player.

 

[Barcilliant]

Eto'o maestro

Definitely Eto.

 

[Barcilliant]

Henry> Eto'o[/QUOT
Eto way better than Henry.

 

[SmilerBam]

Once made a bet with Cruyff that Cruyff would let him attend the Carnival (festival) in Brazil if he scored in El Clasico.

Dropped a hat-trick on RM and left for Brazil right after the game.

He was a genius. Who didn't take football too seriously, much like other Brazilian superstars.

Miss characters like him in the game. Players nowadays are so dull and politically correct.

Miss characters like him in the game. Players nowadays are so dull and politically correct.

Because those characters wouldn't survive at the elite level in the modern game. Modern Football is extremely professional. If you behave like that, you're at the risk of turning into a Balotelli or Arnautovic.

Karim Benzema was 34-years-old when he had his first 50+ G/A season.

Luis Suarez by this time had already done it SEVEN times in his career! 👏

Wrong thread. RL9 has more than both combined anyways.

 

[Judoman]

Which strikers can we say were definitively better than Suarez and Lewa historically?

R9
Puskas
MVB
Romario
Gerd Muller

Anyone else?

Definitively better for me are only R9 and MVB, even though their primes and careers were cut short due to injuries. Romario on the same level, so hard to tell. Other 2 are older generation i know nothing
about part from stories from my dad. He praised Puskas as high as Pele. I'd put Eto'o and Henry in there as well, but i wouldn't say they were better.
Lewa will beat all of them in terms of longevity on the highest level for sure.

 

[iniestaGOAT]

Etos the GOAT. Everyone knows that.

 

[Horatio]

Etos the GOAT. Everyone knows that.

You made him sound Greek. How'd you do that?

 

[Temptation]

How exactly is Eto'o better than Lewandowski?

Ik Eto'o was really clutch for Barca but...
Lewandowski had the superior prime, has more longevity and a better career. Also a more complete forward and a much better main man.

Has a better individual record at every level

 

[olivis]

Eto'o isn't anywhere close to Suarez or Lewandowski

Lewandowski is probably the best striker since R9.

I might be getting carried away by the fact he now plays in Barca but he might be the 4th best striker in history after R9, Gerd Muller and MVB
