Footballing equivalents of Cricketers

[Norman]

Just saw a post by CrapInfo saying Kohli is Ronaldo of Cricket , which is not surprising at all. So, I gave a brief thought about who  else would match in both the sports and here are the ones I came up with. 

 

1. Kohli and Ronaldo (Hardworking, Aggressive,OOT Best in the world)

 

 

 

 

2. ABD and Messi (supremely talented,jaw dropping skills,down to eath but choking at the big stage) 

 

 

 

 

3. Amir and Suarez (extremely controversial, famous for bans albeit for different reasons and yeah ...great teeth)

 

 

 

4.Gayle and Ibrahimovic (self proclaimed best players in the world ,extremely flamboyant characters)

 

 

 

5. Imran Khan and Maradona (wc winners by hand and botle caaps)

 

 

 

 

6. Pandya and Pogba (talented youngsters ...nothing more)

 

 

 

 

7. Sir Don Ambati Rayudu and Lord Fellaini (man utd fans can relate)

 

 

 

 

Kindly add your choices. 

 

 

P.S - Just for lolz, no hard feelings. Mods can move this to chit chat if it doesnt fit here.

Nice resemblance

GOAT as far as stats are concerned, captured world stage as 16 year olds, first superstars in their respective sports (?), seen as selfish by their critics

Pele and Sachin

 

Though Sachin looked more like Maradona 

[maniac]

Rohit and the next footballer who will hold the record for more than  10+ Goals or whatever the record is scored in a match on 3 different occasions.

 

Footballing world me AB tak Koi mard paida nahi hua jo hitman ka mukaabla kar sake.

 

Also this footballer should lead his team to 3 championships in whatever league he plays.

 

Hai kisi me dum?

Rest of us just copy paste the link, just like you add the pic. But since you asked @Gollum, usually it works this way,

 

Think of something that pisses you off, get crazy angry, imagine a rant in you head and then substitute that with a gif.

Though provoking point brother velu.

Maybe then you can make the case with Messi, again both child prodigies, came through excellent junior system, insanely talented, amazingly consistent, their peak years in weak teams (internationals for Messi), magic touch, but chokers at the big stage

Both are also quite short and love Ferrari

There was another guy from Paraguay. Chilavert I think, he was the capt. and goalie and would even take free kicks. He was old too. that's where the comparison ends.
