But can he withstand being best chums with Tears Morgan? I think not!
It probably means very little to him compared to this.Assuming PSG win their league and get into the latter stages of the CL, I think there's a good chance of another Ballon d'Or heading his way.
Such a good comparison. I prefer Djokovic but it just seems wild I'd spend dozens of hours online debating Fed/Nadal/Djoko. I have my own preference with Ronnie and Djoko but it seems crazy to me I wouldn't appreciate watching the others as well.I do hate the obsession with GOAT debates in different sports. In my second favourite sport tennis, non-stop GOAT debates are beyond tedious and it’s amazing how many people are sad enough to get so worked and riled up about them.
But I’m happy that the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate has been well and truly slammed shut for good (even if Argentina lost today it still would have in my opinion).
He's right.we're just having a laugh here.
He was a great player no doubt, he was also a self-admitted cheat and a drug addictThink 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.
Don't have that debate with my mother, if it ain't Federer she'll go apeshit!Such a good comparison. I prefer Djokovic but it just seems wild I'd spend dozens of hours online debating Fed/Nadal/Djoko. I have my own preference with Ronnie and Djoko but it seems crazy to me I wouldn't appreciate watching the others as well.
Nope! Ronaldo had a claim with his Euros win and multiple league performances.Is this even a debate anymore?
Between Pele, Maradona and Messi, it's still arguable due to different times, teams, support etc. Pele won 3 world cup while Maradona carried much weaker teams single handedly.The debate will never die, sadly, but so pleased for him on a personal level. He never had anything to prove after such a phenomenal career, but you could see how much he wanted to bring a World Cup home to Argentina, and he’s finally done it.
Think he would much rather have a World Cup title than a fake title of goat.
There are no facts that support even making this a debate. It's just tribalism and **** of personality - both will be washed away with time.The debate will never die, sadly, but so pleased for him on a personal level.

I don't think he will ever be in the conversation.I’m glad that in few years we’ll compare Mbappe and new rising stars to Messi and Ronaldo will be sort of forgotten
Baffling, really.How can anyone be a fan of both Man United and Ronaldo nowadays?
Between Pele, Maradona and Messi, it's still arguable due to different times, teams, support etc. Pele won 3 world cup while Maradona carried much weaker teams single handedly.
But, how anyone can still bring Ronaldo into this discussion is beyond me. Other than scoring goals, he's light years behind the rest of them.
Messi has shown that he can win cups even without the quality of Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets supporting him.
Doubt how far Ronaldo could have gone without Modric and Kross. If anything, Madrid have continued to win past his departure. Yes, he would have still won trophies but I think Modric and Kroos were more critical to that Madrid team than Ronaldo was. What I mean - if Madrid had Lewandowski instead of Ronaldo, they might have still won 4 CL's.
He might drop dead right before then.He hasn't lifted the trophy yet so he's still not the greatest
I used to post on a tennis forum, and the percentage of threads devoted to GOAT debates, comparisons between the big 3 was just absurd. And threads dedicated to standard ATP tournaments had hardly any posts !Such a good comparison. I prefer Djokovic but it just seems wild I'd spend dozens of hours online debating Fed/Nadal/Djoko. I have my own preference with Ronnie and Djoko but it seems crazy to me I wouldn't appreciate watching the others as well.
Edit: And by the time Fed was 38 and playing Djoko in a wimbledon final I was even actually rooting for Fed
I know, that's why it is in order.He won Copa America already
I know Messi doing the dumbo ears to LVG makes him so unlikeableFeck Messi and Ronaldo. Can't wait till they both retire.
Same with formula one, the endless debates are so tedious, simple fact is formula one has changed so much since that first official world championship that it's impossible to say for sure who is the greatest.Such a good comparison. I prefer Djokovic but it just seems wild I'd spend dozens of hours online debating Fed/Nadal/Djoko. I have my own preference with Ronnie and Djoko but it seems crazy to me I wouldn't appreciate watching the others as well.

Good post this and pretty much sums up my feelings on it.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.
While I didn't want Messi to win, it's so deserved for him, and I am happy for him. Both of the players will be attached to each other forever in eternal discussions, and that's one of, if not THE, largest accomplishment of Ronaldo's career.
Ronaldo has said Messi was special, and Messi was asked about the best 5 players he saw playing, and he didn't include Ronaldo on that list, and said Ronaldo was on his level, too, and didn't belong in that list because he was above it. That's my take from all of this. If both have said this from each other, we can give our opinions and discuss things, but if both players have said it, that matters way more to me than my own opinion and everyone else's.
Ronaldo will always be my favorite player but Messi is just special and, honestly, a great guy, too.
Edit: also I don't wanna be unfair to Maradona, but I just can't see as of today why I personally would consider him better than Messi. But I didn't watch Maradona play, so...
He will really soonI'm so fecking tired of this guy. Will celebrate the day he retires.
