So Bale is basically a poor man's Ronaldo?

This is a result of relying on transition football. A regular team that can hold the ball even a bit sees this out.

Okay. We've had like 5 coaches now, and all the Players and new signings are lazy?

Messi only scores freeckicks from the right or centre close to the box. Ronaldo had all kind of varieties at his peak. Eg his free kicks against Blackburn or Arsenal. Well he tailed off long ago but we're discussing their peaks here I suppose.

I mentioned Ronaldo has a more diverse array of freekicks from any angle or distance at his peak. Messi would never score the one against Almunia in 2009. Thats a fact. At their peak they were both roughly as effective and thats why they mostly stood toe to toe in a lot of Elclassico. People...

Outside the box is different from longer range strikes. Not going to go into the argument but anyone should good team supercedes a team with individual names. Argentina went on a 30 plus games unbeaten run. Certainly more to do with the team than the quality of a single individual. In 2014...

Lots of younger fans just peddle things like Penaldo etc. I see why Cantona retired at 31.

He wasn't better in all ways objectively. Headers and long range strikes aren't part of the game anymore? Ronaldo at his peak could strike a dead ball from anywhere across the half. Messi is mostly close range. Messi is more asthetically pleasing, fine but Ronaldo was better at some things too.

Before this previous world cup, Messi had no knockout goals in the world cup too despite featuring alongside world class attackers. Its simple. Great football teams are about a lot of things. You could parade a good team and not have a good coach and vice versa. Argentina was so solid recently...

Or just an inseparable couple in a toxic relationship? I don't get why people assume the girlfriend is a moron.

I know there's been an influx of oil money and all that but can't anyone also see, even united and some other teams have spent mind boggling sums on terrible projects too? Other teams regularly outspend them but achieve worse results cos of poor management.

Messi Fans discredit Ronaldo's other attributes such as being a legendary header Of the ball and having longer range shots back in the day, while having the best dribbling ability a 6ft player can possess. They were both deadly effective in almost equal measure while Messi did it in a more...

Dropping Ronaldo will sort the defensive woes. Brilliant! We have a coach who sought a right winger for ages and finally got one but now plays him on the left when he rarely plays and Ronaldo is the problem. I don't think his signing was necessary, but thinking he's "the problem" is idiotic!

Sure penalty. The first one

Yeah, let's take on another experiment while cutting off a proven asset
