I don't follow soccer closely, but I do during the World Cup. From what I gathered,years ago was Ronaldo was considered the best. He is still damn good, but at 29, a little past a soccer player's prime. He tied Pele's national World Cup goal record at 12. In addition, "he was named FIFA's World Footballer of the Year in 1996 and 1997, becoming both the youngest player to win the award and the only player to win the award in consecutive years".
