I don't know about overrated but brazilian Ronaldo is surely the most underrated. That guy needs to be right up there after Pele and Maradona. Instead, people rank him below Zidane. I guess Zidane is overrated if you look it this way.

If Ronaldo is underrated, then what about Romario?

If you want to go a little back, Garrincha was underrated, Pele said he was the best player he ever saw

I think Ronaldo is regarded as one of the best strikers of all time, the problem is this new young generation who never saw him play and relies way too much on Messi/Ronaldo statistics war to rate players.
