There really is no point comparing them. Raul is a support striker, while Rivaldo plays as Attacking midfielder in Barcaelona. About their skills IMO Raul is the best player in the world right now. Rivaldo had a great last year, but it's been only OK so far. He is no longer as good. IMO Figo is way better then the Brazilian, but he doesn't get the publicity he should - it's all about media attention now. On the toher hand Raul will never leave Real Madrid, he sdaid so just last night, unless he won't have a place in the squad and that's impossible, he's the best player in the world after all! Anyway go get that sorry &*^&^& Rivalod, cause it will mean our sweat Real has less competition from barca.
