    Both great players but one of them is going to miss out on the World Cup next year, who would you like to see in Rio?
    I'm going for Cristiano for me he has it all skill, pace, great striker of the ball and good header, also easy on the eye.
    He was a good player at Man U but has gone up a notch by going to Real Madrid.

    So that's what you look for in a player? What's Lord E going to say when he finds out?

    Ronaldo as for me he is the best player in the world, arrogant prick that he is. ALSO wil never forgive Ibra for that bicycle kick, I mean who tries that...and scores?

    I imagine every-time Hart has a brainfart nowadays it's because he's just had a flashback to that goal

    Ibra for me. There are no other players in the world who can turn a game so massively as him. And he's a legend <ok>

    Too true, i remember me and mates saying after the game we were just grateful to see such a performance and goal.
    Damn, remembering that makes me a bit gutted he won't also be in Brazil

    Ibrahimovic for me, every time. One of my favourite players of all time, with at least 3 games at the World Cup you can guarantee at least one flash of utter brilliance which can light up the tournament. Ronaldo carries too much expectation and, even if he does something good, it never "wows" you, because you expect it more.

    Anyone else seen his backheel ninja goal from last week? Fcking ludicrous.

    Zlatan for me.

    This season he has been incredible. Some of the goals he scores are shear class. There is no player in the world that can do the things he does with pure intention.

    Take the backheel volley for example, if you watch it in slow motion he clearly meant what he did. Normal players would have been tempted to control the ball.

    He is a team player aswell. Ronaldo is not.

    Add to it that he comes across as being a nice guy. Ronaldo is an arrogant prick.

    He is a more exciting player to watch.

    They are very different. Ronaldo is just a machine. His dtsts prove hands down he is the more effective player. For sheer entertainment Ibra is a different touch. That strike last night was incedible. Just wish he had a better team around him with Sweden.

    I think Ibra is every bit as arrogant as Ronaldo, just not as good a player. He sometimes scores outrageous goals but so does Ronaldo. Look at the stats if you want to compare the two. Ibra may win on assists, but nothing else.

    Ronaldo for me, Has everything as a player. All Sweden have to offer is Ibrahimovic and that's no reason to be in the world cup finals.
