Thinks you can get an STD from flirting.
Some neat passes from Ronaldo today as well. I think he poacher label is not entirely correct. He has more of a buildup play than likes of Owen, Inzaghi, Crespo etc
He was.He wasn't offside on the rebound from the sitter he missed
That’s how I know he’s that good.Just missed 3 sitters in a minute.
Awful, he's finished.
That was a bit toungue in cheek. I should have included some white text.That’s how I know he’s that good.
Calling him finished when he has nearly 40 goals this season and will probably surpass 40 at 36.
What a god.
I do agree on one thing,That was a bit toungue in cheek. I should have included some white text.
trolling? Argentina were far from the worlds most talented squadMessi is a penality missing cry baby who can't win an international piece of silver with the worlds most talented squad in years.
Now let's end this civil debate.
yes but when recent euro winners like Portugal got knocked out in their two most recent tournaments by the likes of Chile and UruguayI wouldn't be so harsh on Messi, but its worth pointing out that they pretty much played Copa America basically every year for a period, so he did have plenty more chances than those playing for European sides to win a national trophy.
I don't think so.trolling? Argentina were far from the worlds most talented squad
The 2014 Argentina team was more talented than the Spain team a few years before that..?Messi is a penality missing cry baby who can't win an international piece of silver with the worlds most talented squad in years.
Now let's end this civil debate.
Pretty ridiculous if you truly think thatI don't think so.
wasn’t as talented as Germany or France in 2014 eitherThe 2014 Argentina team was more talented than the Spain team a few years before that..?
Can you go through the world cup squads without stumbling into world class name after world class name that also performed really well for the NT side?Pretty ridiculous if you truly think that
Sure, you said he had the most talented squad in the world which is blatantly false. I'd argue Germany, France and Belgium were just as talented. You are just looking at names, but Argentina, while talented, weren't balanced at all. Without stumbling can you name any other player who took his team to 4 straight finals on the NT stage?Can you go through the world cup squads without stumbling into world class name after world class name that also performed really well for the NT side?
I also said Messi is a crybaby I was trying to get read of the Messi fans in the Ronaldo thread. Didn't work.Sure, you said he had the most talented squad in the world which is blatantly false.

Don't want to derail this thread, and Belgium's squad in 2014 was deeper than Argentina'sI also said Messi is a crybaby I was trying to get read of the Messi fans in the Ronaldo thread. Didn't work.
Belgium was not as talented. Argentina had a top 3 squad. Messi did not take them straight to finals every time either he has had stinker of games. They wouldn't have qualified on one occasion if it was not for Higuin and Di Maria iirc was vital in 2014. Now if you'd reply to me in the Messi vs Ronaldo thread it would be nicer.
It works both ways.You know Ronaldo is the GOAT when the insecure Messi fans come here to spew their agenda.
Both are horribleYou know Ronaldo is the GOAT when the insecure Messi fans come here to spew their agenda.
I actually like that about him. He shows who he is and doesn’t pretend to be someone he is not. His work ethic backs up what he claims to be - its not just talk.Don't know what it is about Ronaldo. United legend and all that. Made two CL finals with him, winning one; league titles etc etc. I should still really love him, but I don't. I should at least like him, but I don't. Undoubtedly one of the all time great players. I think it's just because he comes across as extremely petulant, sort of like a massive man baby. That said, it's not fair to blame him for the sub-culture of hysterical fanaticism that's goes on in his name, just like isn't fair to blame Messi for the same. But lord it is tiring.
Take it to the Ronaldo vs Messi thread. How hard is it to follow simple thread rules?Messi is greater.

Better goal/match ratio compared to Ronaldo.

Sure Messi has one less CL titles, but Messi beat Ronaldo is their only CL final together, and Messi has more league titles in total, many of which he directly faced Ronaldo’s Madrid. Ronaldo only has two league title during his many years in Madrid as a consequence of Messi’s dominance.
Again, give me Messi’s accomplishments all day over Ronaldo’s.
No.Messi is greater.

Why the constant need to compare in one or the other's thread? It's like you've popped in purely to start a fight. I find it utterly bizarre that grown adults develop this sort of fanatical attachment to a football player they've never met that plays for a team they don't support. Not to mention the childish 'my dad is bigger than your dad and could beat him up' nonsense that follows.Messi is greater.
