Sometimes Yashin (if they were trying to credit goalkeepers) and Garrincha and Zico (if they're not ignoring Brazilian football) Btw, if we're talking about personal opinions, I'd still argue that a lot people in our generation think Ronaldo was better.

Rooney's nickname should be the Bull, because he is a physical domination of opponents. yes i have to agree that Rooney is not the next Zidane, because athough Rooney is a great attacker, he lacks the crazy ball skills and the touch that got Zidane the nickname the Magician.
