This isn't a CR7 vs. Ronaldo thread. This is solely focused on Messi.
If you take any so-called "GOAT" from basically any other sport, and you put them in any team, they will easily be the best player in that team wherever they play. They will easily be the best player in any tournament.
Take Lebron James. He stands heads and shoulders above anyone he has ever played with, and even when losing, he is clearly the best player on the court.
Same goes for Rugby or any other sport I can think of.
Messi looks good playing for Barca WHEN Barca are winning. When Barca are losing, Messi looks awful. This leads to the logical conclusion that Messi is only good when Barca is good, and in fact, Barca is a big factor in Messi's individual successes.
I can think of 5 other players who were indisputedly far better than Messi this World Cup. There are probably 20 other players who were arguably better than Messi this World Cup, even while they were losing. Messi can't even crack top 5 players in an entire tournament of players. What a failure.
