Ronaldinho is the best player in the world at the moment. He is an incredibly gifted and skillful player. The greatest of all time is Pele.

By far, I think Ronaldinho from Brazil is the best player in the world. Not just because he is productive, but also he elevates soccer to a new level.

Goofyboy?I guess he didn't prove much at the 2002 World Cup?Before it is all over with Ronaldinho will be known as the greatest of all time.The things he can do with a football is just unreal.\n\nEven Maraona knows whats up!\n\nThe Argentine great hailed Brazil midfielder Ronaldinho as the best player in the world, and said he was playing at a different level to other players. \n\n“It's a lot of fun to watch him play,'' Maradona said. “He does

yes.... i have never seen anyone handle the ball the way he does. he has a real gift that probably no one today can beat. even the own maradona says hes following his footsteps and might even be better than him.

Ronaldinho of Brazil (and of F.C. Barcelona).  He is quick, has amazing skill, scores goals and he makes his teammates better.  Both of his teams are champions, and he is the current European Footballer of the Year and current World Footballer of the Year (and will likely win this latter award for a second time).  He also is very likeable, and smiles a lot.  I think one of his greatest accomplishments has been to take a Barcelona team that was hurting and was a distant second to bitter rivals Real Madrid, and make this his team which consistently wins championships and outperforms Real Madrid.

Too many to mention. And which position? Pele many would say as well as me only for the fact that he changed the game to what it should really be. As for all the new guys, they are just adding tricks and skills to it. More of a show for the fans. Ronaldinho i would say is the best of the best. Everyone right now is learning from him and he has the best ball control you'll see in awhile.

It's hard to imagine.  Just now I'm trying to figure out if Ronaldinho will be the best player since Pele.  Yes, then also better than Maradonna, Cruyff, DiSteffano, etc.  Therefore--number two of all time.  We'll see what the World Cup will bring.  If he wins his second (and wins the Champions League) and is at his magical best, why wouldn't he be better than Maradonna et al.  So Robinho would have a long way to go...

in my opinion Maradonna is the best player ever, because i think he is the only player that can win the world cup and make an unprecedented amount of goals while all the time being under the influence of cocaine. If he was that good on drugs imagine how good he would have been without them and he probably would've lasted longer too.

Ronaldinho is the best player in the world.  He got the player of the year award for 2004 and 2005 and he might get it for this year too.  In 2004, Henry got second place and Shevchenko got third.  In 2005, Lampard got second and Eto'o got third.

you guys jump to conclusions so quickly. For someone to compare Pele to Ronaldinho, it might help if Ronaldinho is not playing anymore. You can't look at a player and compare him to someone who has been retired for lots of years now...people have been able to look at Pele's career in-side and out because his career is over. Ronaldinho's is just starting and so far is has been going excellent...he has been scoring goals for Barcelona...he has been helping Brazil be dominate...I think looking at them right now they're equal but we will have to look at this better when Ronaldinho is done playing soccer. And they play a little different kind of game...Pele had some fast breaks...which Ronaldinho does also but he actually plays with the ball on the field tricking out players left and right.

Ronaldinho of Brazil and he has been voted world best player as well! Doesn't that say it all?

Yep! I agree, well for a lot of valid reasons, First being that Ronaldinho is playing for Honour and with so much skill Than Ronaldo....! He has helped Barcelona clinch the Spanish league title this year too......!He ( Ronaldinho) Plays with the ball! ever seen his juggling tricks....! WOW! \n\nI Ronaldo's Case a knee injury has kept him out for much of the season. Few people knew he was 25 when he top scored for Brazil in 2002! and had unfinished business with the world Cup. Now he's 29 and Jaded!Micheal Platini recently said " He's old and carries too many Kilos"\n\nSure Ronaldinho is the best to pave the way for Brazil, at this years world cup! but Alberto Pareira has got negatiive thoughts on Ronaldinho playing for Barcelona! "he is in exepcianal form right now, but will be able to keep it till July? I don't think, if he plays for all these tournaments with barcelona" \n\nAll in all Brazil are sure favorites to win the World Cup.\nBut when it comes to the Champions League, Arsenal will trash Barca! Hopefully! \nCHEERS!

i'd go with maradona\n\nRight.. he won 3 world cups... but.. in 58 played only the last games, and in 62 played only one game. Brasil had a GREAT team(garrincha, Gerson, etc).. it wasn't just PELE (Maradona won the 86 cup almost alone, HE was the team.. right they were good, but not THAT good)\n\n\nAnd as someone else said.. winning that FIFA's award is as meaningful as winning Employee of the Month at McDonald's.\n\n\nit's very difficult to compare... it's two different times... a LOT of different circunstances(compare time, opponents, marking, TV presence, media/fan pressure, teams/co-players, etc)... that's why these discussions never get to an end... because it's all about opinions...

Ronaldinho is the best player in the world, a pretty good role model i suppose.

I have to say Diego Armando Maradona. Just check the World Cup of 1986 and 1990. But mostly 1986. You can tell he was different to all the players there. Pele was part of a great team. Maradona had no team.\nThat's why I said Maradona is the best.
