Top Ten Most Overrated Football (Soccer) Players of All-Time
Is Falcao really should be on top of this list? Benzema is much worst
Worthless of a player
Don't get me wrong. He has been a fantastic goal scorer for a huge part of his long and successful career, but comparing him with Messi and calling him the GOAT makes him highly overrated. Statistically, he is more or less equal to Messi in terms of goal-scoring stats, but in playmaking and other attacking roles, he is a huge flop. The UCL is the only tournament in which he can be considered successful, internationally he is a flop. Only major achievements are not as great as they sound, such as winning the Euro (without playing the final and being just another player on the team) and being the international top scorer (but flopped in the World Cup and stat padded against European minnows in WC and Euro qualifiers).
He is the most overrated because he is compared to Messi, 9 years they played in the same league
Messi finished above him 7 times over the 9 years I would say he played in a better squad.
Messi won La Liga player of the year 8 times compared to his 1
if Messi missed his next 503 shots he would still have a better conversation rate
Messi is better @ passing the ball, running with the ball, better vision. better @ free kicks etc
if you take penalties out of their goal totals they have the same amount of career goals, however Messi has played 150 games less 3 season.
Messi already has more assists having played 150 less games.
Bleh. Hate him. He always says how good he thinks he is and it's very annoying since it's not true. The only thing he can do is model, which is just stand there and look at a camera. Even that doesn't work out well for him because.. Well aren't models supposed to be hot?
Lol he is ranked 3 now he used to be 4 now 3 while messi is the best only people who team got whooped by him hate haters gonna hate messi don't care!
People talk about balotelli as if he's a world class striker, when he isn't near the same level of world class strikers such as messi, aguero, Suarez, Ronaldo, ibrahimovic, cavani, henry, lewandowski, van nistelrooy, etc
A player so much potential but totally wasted.Bad attitude,no discipline and awful temperament.
To that idiot that said messi is underrated, he is currently the second highest rated player for soccer, gets paid 40 million euros, and is a fraud, doesn't help his team, but insults it, cries, and not to mention always flops. Ronaldo scores more goals this year, got a national trophy for a terrible team (portugal) and brought real madrid on the top of la liga
To that fan Real Madrid are are only better in finals then Barca but in friendly etc Barca are better against Madrid and Messi dropped to 7 uses to be 6 but Ronaldo did not drop dumbass your only stating the obvious with your inaccurate information stop giving bad information!
He is so good, one bad season, off the team, onto some junky Portuguese team and called worst ever, and then there is messi, still a legend for his mess ups
Iker Casillas is nowhere near as good as Neuer, Ter Stegen, De Gea and he just isn't as good as everyone says he is
Since he moved to United, he's stopped playing like he used to. However many people still think he's the best CM in the world. It's not that he's bad, he's still a good player but overrated
He has done nothing at man utd, overpriced overhyped and overrated.
Just keeps up to all the trends, is really crap on the pitch
All sizzle, no steak.
Constant diving, crying and overshooting the gigantic 7.5m x 2.5m goal posts. Makes no effort to build muscle and his underdeveloped body is constantly out due to injury / lack of testosterone. For $44 MILLION / Year, he should have had the decency to either quit or earn a World Cup to Brazil.
Plays like a child, talks like a child, behaves like a child. Not a man, not a professional soccer player. Always lucky to be surrounded by excellent players who win trophies for him.
No work ethic whatsoever, gets paid money to freestyle on the pitch. why don't just get the F2 freestylers instead of him as they would actually work hard?
And the Oscar goes to... Tommy Wiseau!
Neymar Jr. isn't even a good actor, let alone, a decent player.
Well this list sucks. Top scorer in national Mexican team. Top scorer in Man U and really good season in Real Madrid. I mean he's not Messi or Ronaldo. But he is a hell of a player in the area. Oh and he is top scorer in Bayern Leverkusen. Mexican players usually aren't that great you know. And I'm not intending to offend anyone. But it's true..
He's the poor man's version of Paul Scholes, has no work ethic. Stoke had let to let him score just so that he wouldn't cry as much in his final game. He slipped when it mattered the most and lost the title because he sucks. He spent more time procrastinating rather than actually doing work. he only stayed at Liverpool because the fans probably would've killed him if he left to go to Chelsea when h almost did.
He never delivered playing international soccer and only once at the big stage. He's massively overrated.
I think gerrard and lampard are the most overrated footballers of all time.
No discipline to his game. Liverpool were always better without him - FACT
Good but no where near
Gets too much credit
Benzema isn't as good as everybody thinks he is. How he stayed at the club when better strikers such as Higuain and Morata were getting disposed. Even Mariano Diaz is better than him. Put Giroud or Crouch at Madrid, they would score the same amount, if not more than Benzema.
Got 3 goals 2014/15 and got 3 goals 2015/16 season. Totally overrated.
This guy just disappeared into thin air.
Easily the most overrated player ever. He was garbage and never nowhere near the level of messi, C.ronaldo, maradona, Pele, zidane, ronaldinho, ronaldo, figo, henry, neymar, robben, Robert etc etc etc
How Who is Paul pogba, pele and Messi more overrated then beckham?
Crap that's all I can say
This guy is comes to the field to show off his beard.
The most overrated player of all time. He called Messi a footballer with one skill. He said that Becks he is afraid of him. He also once said that if Messi needs to be compared to him, he asked him to score above 1000 goals and win 3 World Cups. He didn't actually score 1200 goals. Most of them were unofficial. He scored only some 750 goals. And those were scored because he is surrounded by brilliant players and had weak opponents. That's also the reason why he won 3 World Cups. But Messi plays against difficult teams and is surrounded by weak players. Messi leads his team singlehandedly. that's why he didn't win any world cup. If he had the players who Pelé had, then Messi would have won 4 World Cups and would have scored above 1000 goals officially.
Pele isn't better than the ones such as Maradona, Cruyff, Zidane, Ronaldo Fenomeno, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo. He scored 1283 goals in his whole career because friendlies were counted, not to mention he played at Santos most of the time. All those names could regularly score at least 60 goals a season (maybe except Zidane, Kaka, and Ronaldinho because they are midfielders) if they play for Santos.
HOW IN THE WORLD are Messi, C.Ronaldo, R9, and Pele on this list they are the best players of all time
Pele was surrounded by great players, which made his life very easy.
Rooney is VERY overrated in my opinion, not on the same level as strikers like Messi, Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Cavani, Ibrahimovic, Benzema etc etc etc
Mean an rude on and off pitch
A danger to our sport.
Most people know him because he scored the Hand Of God goal in the world cup final
LOL
Crack or cocaine
