Anti Scottish and Preoccupied with Donkeys.
Bollocks he is.
All you need is dedication, generational talent and a wealthy club to cover all your expenses, house your family and to dose you to the nines with HGH.Messi is an inspiration to those kids on the pitch with him right now. Proving that you don't have to grow up before fulfilling your dreams.
He won Copa America alreadyMessi just smashed all the arguments, "didn't win trophy with NT", "Didn't win WC".
Won the world cup, best player in the tournament and also scored a brace in finals. Amazing end to his career.
I watched all off his world cup games and many off his Napoli ones.I don't mean to be a dick but how many times did you actually watch him play?
Messi scored almost half of Maradonas goals in 1 calendar year ffs both Messi and Ronaldo are miles clear
I have always felt like prime Ronaldo was the most dangerous player against any team, even during Messi's 73 goals season. Still think he was the most dangerous player ever, just not the GOAT but Messi is.It's your perogative, but how can you not prefer watching a player who at his peak scored 73 goals in a season?
Yeah but he isn't, wasn't and won't be was/is/will he?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.
Think most argentinians will know how how much harder Maradona worked for it. No protection from refs back then, defenders were allowed to kick lumps out of you. They had one of the easiest runs in this tournament.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.
we're just having a laugh here.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.
I watched all off his world cup games and many off his Napoli ones.
I had a vhs of his highlights when I was a kid and was enamored with him, I don't think anyone since has matched him in sheer brilliance.
Also the goal argument is ridiculous, he was a number 10 while messi was basically a forward post 2009.
Vardy won the title with Leicester. That must make him the greatest PL striker then?Napoli almost got relegated just before he went there. Won them two titles.
Messi is fantastic, no one denies that, but winning titles with that Napoli team is different to that Barca team.
Pundits had him up there in 2011. And saf and pepHe sits alongside Pele & Maradona now for sure. Feel bad for Mbappe he couldn't have done anymore to help France what a performance, surely he will still win the Golden Ball.
Pele?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 he didn't. He won a final and lost a final.Maradona won it twice though.
There was not a single second in our lives after 2009 where Ronaldo was a better footballer than Messi. Huge respect for Ronaldo though that there even was a conversation. And the outcome of this final wasn't gonna change anything.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.
The WC is the pinnacle in the eyes of those who think it's the pinnacle. I don't see that. 3 consecutive ChL trophies is a bigger feat in my view.
The World cup?Maradona won it twice though.
Not denying his problems and his less than ideal longevity but peak wise i haven't seen anyone better.Maradona was washed for years and years of his career same as Brazilian Ronaldo
When you're talking about a goat then longevity is a major factor and nobody will come close to Messi and Ronaldo for me
He played for them for 7 years, he was in Europe for 11 years, yet only won 2 league titles. Regardless of the achievement for Napoli, it is not enough to put him above Messi at club level. Not even close.Maradona played for Napoli most of his career, the equivalent of Atletico Madrid.
Same here, huge Ronaldo and United fan, I already had no qualms with those who thought Messi was better, I certainly won't have either now. It's incredible what Ronaldo did alongside a freak of nature like Messi. Ronaldo had no right to even dispute the crown, by 2011 the whole internet mocked him for being finished while Messi existed, while Ronaldo was playing world class football week in week out, and he put his head down and worked his ass off to put himself on a category of players where Messi is, Pele, Maradona, and almost no one else.As a massive Ronaldo/United fan I can't deny that Messi is the goat.
How can anyone be a fan of both Man United and Ronaldo nowadays?As a massive Ronaldo/United fan I can't deny that Messi is the goat.
