00:00:00.000 Rob, can you do me a favor? Go to the site instead of this, because the site allows you to just type in top 55 greatest soccer players of all time.
00:00:09.740 I showed this to Sean and Dylan the other day. Honestly, I thought they were going to lose.
00:00:14.880 I thought they were going to call Sports Illustrated complaining.
00:00:17.400 Sports Illustrated announces the top 55 greatest soccer players of all time.
00:00:22.560 Okay, go a little bit low, Rob. Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
00:00:27.000 It's going to take a long time if you go that speed.
00:00:28.560 So we got a couple names, you know, top number 55, Nor.
00:00:32.720 Go to number 35 because a lot of these guys are going to keep going.
00:00:36.120 They put Neymar at 51, by the way.

00:01:29.440 Romario, phenomenal.
00:01:30.800 By the way, Romario was a temperamental player that would beat people up.
00:01:34.580 One of the most feared little guys, but he would fight anybody and everybody. 0.58
00:01:38.880 He would slap you in the face.

00:02:26.340 And then you have Alfredo Di Stefano.
00:02:28.860 Keep going.
00:02:29.460 Alfredo Di Stefano, everybody knows.
00:02:30.740 Roberto Baggio.
00:02:31.280 Roberto Baggio.
00:02:32.480 I know that guy.
00:02:33.040 Baggio, who missed the kick in the World Cup.
00:02:35.420 And that's the one thing that everybody never forgets.
00:02:37.960 Keep going.
00:02:38.380 But he was a beloved.
00:02:39.840 Platini.
00:02:40.480 Platini, keep going.
00:02:42.100 Now watch this.

00:02:46.720 We had Khabib at the event. 0.91
00:02:48.300 I'm interviewing Khabib.
00:02:49.940 I tell the guys, do some research on who his favorite player of all time is.
00:02:53.280 Tom, I don't know if you remember this.
00:02:54.860 So we get him, because it says his favorite player of all time is Ronaldo.
00:02:58.560 We get a Ronaldo-signed autographed ball.
00:03:02.000 And at the end of the interview, I say, hey, man, we got you a gift.
00:03:04.780 We saw that your favorite player was Ronaldo.
00:03:07.120 They hand him over the soccer ball.
00:03:08.560 He says, no, not this Ronaldo.
00:03:09.980 I like the old Ronaldo. 0.97

00:03:26.100 Frank Beckenbauer.
00:03:26.260 Now, the top three.
00:03:27.460 Top three.
00:03:27.880 Who are the top three on Sports Illustrated?
00:03:28.980 Frank Beckenbauer.
00:03:29.720 Messi's in the top three, obviously.
00:03:31.000 Pele is number one.
00:03:31.960 Who else is top three?
00:03:32.740 Pele's number one.
00:03:33.760 Oh, Landon Donovan from the U.S.?
00:03:35.900 You got Maradona, you got Pele, and you have Messi.
00:03:38.760 The hand of God.
00:03:39.220 Rank it.
00:03:39.780 The hand of God.
00:03:40.300 How do you think this goes?
00:03:41.480 Rank the top three.
00:03:42.420 Okay, so Pele's one.
00:03:43.500 Who's two in your eyes?
00:03:44.720 Messi's two.
00:03:45.380 Okay, Messi's two, and Maradona's three.
00:03:47.020 That's what I'm going for.
00:03:47.540 Okay, so you got Pele, Messi, Maradona.
00:03:51.040 Tom, how do you do it?
00:03:52.000 I can't vote because I know about it.
00:03:53.920 Oh, you know about it. 1.00
00:03:54.820 Because you're Canadian? 1.00
00:03:56.040 All right, so go to it. 0.95
00:03:57.180 Look at number three.
00:03:58.780 Number three is Pele.
00:04:00.980 Go on, get.
00:04:03.040 Sports Illustrated put Pele as number three.
00:04:06.340 So they're going to put Messi number one?
00:04:07.700 Even though he won three World Cups.
00:04:08.620 They're going to put Messi number one.
00:04:09.720 They're going to put Messi number one.
00:04:10.040 No, Messi can't be number one.
00:04:11.360 And then number two is Maradona.
00:04:15.160 Wow.
00:04:15.840 And you know who they put number one?
00:04:17.440 Obviously Messi.
00:04:18.020 They put Messi as the greatest player of all time in soccer.
00:04:20.180 What's their justification?
00:04:22.380 I mean, it's Sports Illustrated.
00:04:23.820 They can justify whatever they want to justify.
00:04:25.620 But they're saying this guy was a Ballon d'Or winner,
00:04:29.380 09, 10, 11, 12, 15, 19, 21, 23,
00:04:33.020 FIFA World Cup, player of the year, Barcelona's all-time top scorer,
00:04:36.060 La Liga all-time goal scorer, six-time Pichichi winner, Argentinos. 1.00
00:04:39.520 I'm going to get so many Menecs would hate today, 1.00
00:04:42.020 but I will tell you this, to the Ronaldo community, 1.00
00:04:44.760 because we have a few in our household,
00:04:46.700 to put him number 15, I think it's crazy.
00:04:49.480 they should at least put him 14.
00:04:51.160 I think it's in the pub.
00:04:52.980 Dylan's going to be so mad when he hears that.
00:04:55.300 No, no, no.
00:04:56.020 Of course, what he's done.
00:04:58.000 Can we end the debate then?
00:04:59.380 Which is what?
00:05:00.960 Messi's better than Ronaldo.
00:05:02.200 Listen, this World Cup.
00:05:03.120 Straight up.
00:05:03.600 If Messi wants to finish the argument, if he wins one more.
00:05:07.880 What do you mean finish the argument?
00:05:09.140 You know what?
00:05:09.760 I understand what you're saying.
00:05:10.760 Did Cristiano Ronaldo ever win a World Cup?
00:05:12.960 No, never. 0.72
00:05:13.700 Nunca.
00:05:14.420 Never.
00:05:15.000 Okay, Messi's the guy.
00:05:16.020 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast, we had the choice to make it cheap.
00:05:26.160 We chose neither.
00:05:27.740 Instead, we chose Tuscaneiro.
00:05:30.100 We chose true Italian craftsmanship, each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:05:35.540 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail, and we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:05:43.320 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:05:46.020 not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary, rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.
