Ronaldo is, was and always will be better. The fact that Messi had better players around him for whole career doesn't change that fact.

Same with Osullivan before he won his 7th World title. Although far less people give a shit about snooker, but point standsThis win for Messi is like Tom Brady's last 2 or 3 Super Bowl wins.
People kinda knew he was the GOAT, but you'd have either hipsters or haters arguing otherwise.
Now, no one can really argue anymore.
What a weird post.I think Pele is gonna bite the dust soon based on this. He can’t defend his status no longer.
Maradona played for Napoli most of his career, the equivalent of Atletico Madrid.What higher highs does Maradona have?
Messi scored 91 goals and contributed 22 goals for club and country in 69 games. Maradona at his highest cannot compete with that level of Messi.
Messi carried Argentina to this WC win pretty much, which is the highest high for Maradona.
So not only has Messi matched Maradona in a WC, everything he has done at club level for the last 20 years is just the icing on the cake.
You really are clutching at straws.
No I don't think he will. Maradona was a much bigger personality. The Argentinians revere him because he represented the working class. I don't think they will ever have that same connection with Messi. They'll love him, but not to same degree.Do you think he'll be revered as a living god like Maradona was? I don't see much between them now after this victory
ThisAs a massive Ronaldo/United fan I can't deny that Messi is the goat.
But Messi moved to a farmer's league and basically took a year off to prepare for this tournament. He's washed.Ronaldo did well to keep the competition tough for long time and having an equal record of Ballon D'Or wins with Messi for some time but that was bound to happen eventually. Ronaldo was a beast physically but once he lost this, his decline was inevitable. Messi is the complete package, him still leading teams while being way past his best was predictable considering his skill set.
Maradona will definitely have more romance around him with the Hand of God and that solo dribble against England a couple of years after Falkland War.Do you think he'll be revered as a living god like Maradona was? I don't see much between them now after this victory
defijitely not Christiano ronaldo.. that's laughable.Smug prick, Maradonna is clear
As is any player with Ronaldo in their names
Completely agree, lock the thread it's impossible for anyone to argue the case anymore.The debate is over. This will be a very short and cordial thread with everyone just agreeing.
Form an orderly queue, one post per person. Thank you and goodnight.
Not only could he do it, he'd be given the key to the city.Can he do it on a rainy night at Stoke ?
Nah due to what Maradona did in 86(And the fact he played his early years in Argentina)and the politics around it.Do you think he'll be revered as a living god like Maradona was? I don't see much between them now after this victory
He's not.Yeah that's just not true, Ronaldo is on that Pele/maradona level if not above in his own right. Let's not take the piss now.
Yeah, so ? No one is saying he's not past his best. He still has enough skill set to be useful even while being washed out. Ronaldo without his physical abilities is a hinderance more than a help. He does nothing for the team when he's not scoring.But Messi moved to a farmer's league and basically took a year off to prepare for this tournament. He's washed.
Peak performance wise Maradona is still better two me.
But other than that, it's hard to deny his greatness, we've been blessed to witness his brilliance.
Napoli almost got relegated just before he went there. Won them two titles.What higher highs does Maradona have?
Messi scored 91 goals and contributed 22 goals for club and country in 69 games. Maradona at his highest cannot compete with that level of Messi.
Messi carried Argentina to this WC win pretty much, which is the highest high for Maradona.

whoever re-opens that poll will rightly be arrested for manslaughter against calWas just about to suggest re-opening the Messi v Ronaldo poll. Glory in the permanent end of that argument.![]()
