Best finisher

In football today ? I mean real football. My vote goes to Ronaldinho, even though he is not a striker by position. But he deserves a place in this poll.

:confused:

Ronaldo!

Which Ronaldo, Braziliang buck tooth retard, or Portuguese foot flicker from Man united?

Brazilian of course. I wouldn't put Man Utd. C Ronaldo in their league. I am surprised nobody so far called for Henry, he is not bad you know.

Nistelrooy has my vote. I like roberto carlos too,but he hasn't been performing as well as he use to.

Jerome Bettis :)

I picked Henry, although I was tempted by Van Horse and Ronaldo. I really would not call Ranaldinho a great finisher at all his skill lies in his play. The main reason Ronaldo didnt get the vote was at the moment he just aint doing it.

But finisher shouldn't neccesary mean a Striker. A finisher for me would be one, who when provided with a sight of goal, even with half reasonable chances, could use his skills to convert it into a goal. Doesn't ronaldinho fit that description?? Again, you are entitled to your opinion.

Ronaldinho! Looks like a donkey, plays like a miracle!

Yawn.. Yes Soccer (Football as it should be known and is known throughout most of the world, it was invented and called Football along time before what the Americans call football, hense the resistance to call it soccer)

Even if you had read the poll candidate names, you would have known what I meant.

I wonder if Rooney getting no votes is based upon his misses yesterday (should have bagged a hattrick) :lol:

I think the question is about which players have made the bigger name for themselves as prolific, for me only Henry and Ronaldo live up to this at the moment especially on the world stage, but who knows? After the next world cup we may be saying other names.

Actually American Football was invented from Rugby, just as Rugby was invented from Football. So surely it should be called...

American Rugby Football :lol:

I personally do not consider rooney to be as prolific as the other guys mentioned on this poll. He's good, but you cannot put him up with Henry or Ronaldinho.

Arrrrrrgh, Rooney is most probably out of the world cup, England may as well stay at home now! :(

Pah, Rooney... As said, nowhere near as good as Henry or Ronaldinho. Or even Shevshenko or Raul!

Fernando Torres will come good. And, if he plays, Messi will be a joy to watch. They're much better than 'our kid'

I agree, Rooney isn't as good a finisher as the others mentioned but he does make a massive difference to the England side because he can link well to the midfield, so Rooney is out Owen is unfit and now England have no chance.

You still have Beckham http://www.vbforums.com/images/ieimages/2006/04/1.gif

we will still beat the germans though....

;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

5 smiles for you :)

Like you did all the last times on a great tournament ;)

We meet in the Quarter finals.
Regular Time 0:0
Over Time 0:0
Germany wins the Penalty shooting.
Goodby England!

Who in his right mind would pin all his hopes on a 20 year old volatile scouser? Mad dogs and Englishmen apparently :afrog:

England will never win a tournament until they stop putting one player as their saviour. A team wins games, not an individual player. As for Rooney being out, yes it's a shame but there are plenty of other decent strikers to choose from

Is this a spot the difference competition?

I think we should use more Welsh players on the England team. They can sing the anthem at the start.

:lol:

Ronaldinho Rocks!
