Why is Riquelme not noticed as the best soccer player?

I don't know a lot about soccer but my guess is he is good but not the best.

Every great player has a slight dip of form now n then, for those who say Henry is not consistent, then how come he is EPL'S top scorer for 4 continous years and for the last 6 years has not scores less than 25 goals, no one in the football world can claim that. Other consistent players are, Ronaldinho, Deco, Zidane,Kaka

nt= national team right..?\n\nyeah he shouldnt have. I used to think that that Aimar was better than him..Aimar is good, but Riquelme does way more for Argentina.. he will probably come back for the next Wc.. \n\nthats the cool thing to do nowadays. Retire.. get thru the groups, help out ur team the last couple of games, then play in the Wc.

Eto'o is the best target man, but he always need support from other player. He is the best striker, but the best player is Rinaldinho.

He is the best player. I'll go ahead and say that he is the best Brazilian football player. Sorry Pele, you have be over thrown.

He's already retired and past his prime age. He's been playing since the 1990 World Cup and has had ample chances to show what an amazing player he is. People will always remember him as "BatiGol" cos' he never failed to find the net. Now, he has moved on to give other promising players a chance to find the fame like he did. Crespo and Messi are some to fill the gap.

i think that only maradona cruyf and pele could compare due to titles and skills. Ronaldinhio is great but too young, and best didnt won so many titles. between them i choose maradona. he was skillfull we has always played in hard leagues and he won titles without having good players at his side like pele or cruyf.

RONALDINHO IS UNIQUE I WOULD CALL HIM PHENOMENAL, BUT THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO RONALDO, RONALDINHO`S DRIBBLE AND CONTROL OF THE BALL IS SUPERB, WHEN HE GRABS THE BALL YOU KNOW SOMETHING AMAZING IS GOONA COME OUT OF HIS LEGS, HE`S JUST THE BEST THERE IS ROGHT NOW.

It was shevchenko and it still is. Everyone needs to jump off the ronaldinho bandwagon. Don't get me wrong he's brilliant but when it comes down to all the skills that makes a forward "the best" he doesn't have them. Ronaldinho is fast, has good footwork, but lacks passing ability and his ambidextrous ability is poor. Shevchenko is fast, tall, strong, passing is impeccable, and his left foot is just as strong and effective as his right foot. He's the ultimate weapon.....

no 90% of brazilian players are talented look at cris the brazilian defender in lyon although he is not in the national team he is really talented and there is also naldo in bermen and amauri in palermo and the brazilians in sevilla even the brazilians in the turkish club fenerbache r talented so in every famous club in any country in any league u will find 2 or moretalented brazilians so i donot agree with him in this point the only thing i agree with him about lately is his comments on ronaldinho when he said that he is loyal to barca than the yellow shirt of brazil which is really true espicially after the amazing goal i saw yesterday which he scored against viareal i never saw ronaldinho scoring such an amazing goal with brazil i even didnot see him scoring a single goal with brazil since copa america!!!

The answer is probably no one. Some people are better at scoring and shooting though. Two of them would probably be Ruud van Nistelrooy (Man. Utd. and Holland) and Thierry Henry (Arsenal and France). But in terms of ball control and creativity, Ronaldinho is numero uno.

Hey Dutchman! Go easy on the newcomer. Lionel Messi is still a baby. He is the best player in Argentina though. After the world cup and if he plays on May 17th in the UEFA Champions League final he could be named MVP if Ronaldinho doesn't get it. And it is called the MVP. Remember MVP of last Champions league went to Liverpool's striker Gerrard.

Whns did the new era began? Right now, Ronaldino is the best player. Probably the best player of the past 15 years... Maradona´s prime came to an end in 1990. Messi is regarded, as many pthers, as the next big one... but Ronaldino is the best there is now!

I think its too early to judge the players.  Can they ever be judged?  Well people are going to do it anyways despite the different types of conditions present in the different eras.  So, to get on with comparing, I would say that Ronaldinho is not yet better than Maradonna was.  I know that Maradonna fans would not even like the idea that he was being compared to anyone, let alone  a player like Ronaldinho, who is only half-way through his best years as a player.  Maradonna fans even have trouble with his being compared to Pele in the never-ending debate about the greatest player of all time.  What I will say though is that it is possible that Ronaldinho will surpass Maradonna.  Whether he does or doesn't remains to be seen.  If he does surpass him though, I don't think that you could ever say that Ronaldinho was even twice better than Maradonna.  Remember, Maradonna was a very great player.  Could Ronaldinho really ever be twice better?  No.  He will be a fraction better.  And believe me that will be enough to get Maradonna fans all around world up in arms...

Did he already go to Chelsea? Wow! Yeah he is good, not great, but good. Currently the world's best player is none other than RONALDINHO GAUCHO in Barca...in Spain...in La Liga...you get the point duh.

He is kinda overrated. He is a very good central midfielder. He can score goals, he can create pretty well, and his range is very good. \n\nBut I do agree that almost every show or a lot of fans judge him as the greatest. The hype begins to cloud the real player.
