Was he elite or shit?

he was elite but underachieved

he was shit and got carried to glory

>>76847359

>>76847381
He wasn't shit at Barça, I can tell you that.

Zidane > Raul > Fatnaldo (Halal period) > Figo > Beckham

What happened to him around here?

>>76847342
Elite

https://i.makeagif.com/media/5-15-2015/vh88km.mp4

>>76847455
Too intelligent to score

good but overrated

most people here are too young to actually saw him play so obviously their opinions are useless

he was great. world class desu

shit but underrated

>>76847455
what do the numbers mean?

>>76847505
Of course he was world class.

But nothing elite about him

Robben is unironically better than him.

>>76847936
Left - Appearences in La Liga
Right - Goals

>>76847455
He had a knee injury in 2005 that basically made him never the same. That and they had Ronaldo and Michael Owen.

>>76847998
>second all-time Real Madrid scorer
>not elite

Have a (You). He's better than any striker England's in the last 40 years.

>>76848065
I just replied to your post out of context lol. Thought you were talking about Figo not Raul.

My standard still stands anyway.

>>76848081
I'm too high right now, I thought the thread was about Raul lmao, I thought Figo was a separate thread, sorry

>>76848081
>>76848095

was it autism?

>>76847998

How many Ballon d'ors does Robben have m8? And don't use the Messi and Ronaldo excuse because he's never even finished in the top 3. And nothing elite about him? He was one of the best dribblers in the world and an amazing passer and crosser. He held the all time la liga assist record before Messi came along

>>76847998
>Robben is unironically better than him.
Must be in pace only

>>76847998
Didn't watch figo play but Robben is so underrated, without injuries I unironically think he would have been better than Ronaldo

>>76848455

Nope, not once. Go check.

Figo was the best player in the world in that last 2 seasons at Barca to the Euro 2000.

He was unironically better than Zidane and Rivaldo ever was.

>>76848621
I'd say he was on the same level as those two, legit world class.

>>76848350
are you fucking serious? not even memeing here he's a literal one trick pony, sneijder used to be better.

A poor man's Beckham

Great player who married a nice swedish girl.

>>76847342
Figo was the best player to ever play for our NT.
Hes was way better than Tapinaldo.

>>76849013
?????

>>76849075
For the NT: Eusebio > Figo >>> CR7

Overall: CR7 > Eusebio >> Figo

>>76849047
Must be in freekicks only

In Portugal He is more popular than Tsu???? Holy shit why so many Portugess worship him.

>>76849075
>>76849095

How? Figo has one great competition (Euro 2000) which is admittedly better than anything Cristiano has done but outside of that he was a major disappointment.

Cristiano was better than Figo in both the Euro 2004 and WC 2006, plus both the Euro 2012 and Euro 2016 are pretty good.

Cristiano has never had a fuck up as bad as Figo had in 2002 WC. They had a strong squad and were seen as major contenders (Pele even picked them to win it)

>>76849174
You're using logic. I was just using my memetic knowledge.

>>76849095
Nice meme Eusebio was literally Renato Sanches tier.
Just an overhyped benfica shit player

>>76849143
>In Portugal He is more popular than Tsu????
He pretty much had TSU status in the NT in his prime, but he didn't have this star complex that TSU has.
> Holy shit why so many Portugess worship him.
Simple. Because he's a GOAT of portuguese football. Just like TSU or Eusébio.

>>76849174
Ronaldo was never ever impressive in our NT.
Our team wasn't able to carry him like Real Madrid, so after 2006 he was always shit.

Vitor Baia
Fernando Couto
Rui Costa
Nuno Gomes

= meme tier

Meme + Figo = ding! Golden Generation

>>76849237
Define impressive.

He may not have had a GOAT level competition which he dominated but he had several good to very good tournaments where he scored big important goals.

>>76849205
I know benficucks like to overhype anything that is theirs, but you can't deny Eusébio has a spotlight in our football history. Scoring 9 goals in a single WC edition and reaching our best result ever in a world cup is a major feat.

>>76849143
Figo was an actual good player and a leader for Portugal, he was the best player from our "golden generation".

Ronaldo is just a tap in drama queen, who needs every single player licking his ass and giving him compliments all the time.
Hes shit at freekicks and still takes every single one, while we have player like Moutinho and Nani who are great at them.

I'd rate Ronaldo as a "good player" nothing else.

>>76849274
I think moutinho is the best player for your national team. Too bad Ronnie gets all the glory, but that's what he wants

>>76849326
Moutinho is shit and won't even be called up anymore after this Confed cup.
His time in the NT is over.
Adrien Silva is the GOAT CM now.

>>76849344
Moutinho will be in the world cup next year, unless he's injured. You can definitely count on that.

>>76849326
Ronnie is still our best player, but he could be so much more if he quit whoring for attention.

>>76849274
Ricardo Queresma should take free kicks.

You can only be considered elite if you've won a World Cup.

>>76849265
Rui Costa was a God level player at Fiorentina fuck your mother

>>76849269
>Scoring 9 goals in a single WC
kek

4 of those were against the gooks

>>76849687
You can only score against the competition you play m8

Barca Figo would have been considered GOAT had he stayed. Seemed to lose a little bit of something moving to halal. Don't get me wrong, he was still elite but just didn't stand out as much.

>>76849651
And only at Fiorentina amirite? Never did much at Milan. Remember he was their most expensive player at that time. Else they wouldn't have signed Perro Caca 100% Jesus

>>76847342

>Figo
>shit

Are you fucking insane, before Ronaldo and Messi, there were Figo and Zidane.

>>76847998

>Robben Better than Figo.

sigh...

>>76854636
Why not?? Robben is a top winger during his most carrier.

>>76855267
*career*

>>76854628
Top kek.

He made a deadly partnership with R9 at Farselona and again at Halal Madrid.
Very consistent and class even in his late years.
Most of the goals Fat Ronaldo scored were from his passes, R9 said a Figo pass was half a goal.
He won the Ballon D'Or over the likes of R9, Zidane, Rivaldo, Nedved, Batistuta, Beckham
La Liga Foreign Player of the Year: 1999, 2000, 2001
Played well into his 36s allways at highest level.

>>76847455
He was elite for >Schalke later on for some reason

>>76849174

I laughed harder than I should

>>76855267
>>76855289
>when you forget to check your post on google translate

>>76847455
stopped playing as a striker

>>76848350
>>76848350
nope never. Even if he had the technique he never would have been close because of small team mentality all the dutch, specially those of his era had. They couldn't handle the pressure of playing in the grandest stage. VdV, Sneijder, Robben, Huntelaar...

> he doesn't rate figo

I don't rate the early 2000s. It was filled with meme teams winning cups in every competition and literal 1 great season type players winning the balloon door. I can't take an era seriously where Greece, Canada, Colombia, Iraq, New Zealand (when Australia was there), and Tunisia won continental cups; China, Morocco, Colombia's B team, and the Solomon Islands were continental finalists; Olimpia beating Sao Caetano was an actual Copa Libertadores final; Porto beating Monaco was an actual Champions League final; a Nigerian team called Enyimba won the CAF Champions League TWICE in a row after having 0 history in it then fading into irrelevancy; teams from fucking UAE and Thailand going 1 and 1 in consecutive AFC Champions League final then fading into irrelevancy; an MLS team faced a fucking Honduran team in a final, then years later there being an all-Costa Rican final in the CONCACAF Champions Cup; next to no consistency in Balon d'Or victors in which Owen, Nedved, and Shevchenko, which were anything but the best players in the world at the time, won the trophy; and even a World Cup 3rd place match involving Turkey and South Korea happened.

>>76860230
>Sneijder couldn't handle big game pressure
Are you fucking stupid?

>>76847404

>Bergkampf ?

>>76856990
because he really really really wanted a spot in Spain NT

>>76854628

Lol it was OG Ronaldo and Zidane. Figo would make the top 10 of his generation but not top 2

>>76847342
Shalke legend to be hoonest
