Messi is the best currently, no doubt. But without Messi, the spanish team made up of the bulk of barcelona team still won the world cup for the first time. if they had met argentina team that paraded messi, they were more likely to beat that argentina team that were made to look ordinary and confused by the german national team that wiped them 4 nil. The barcelona team enhance Messi' performance unlike some others like Diego Forlan that enhance the performance of their team. So, I will go for CR9. In my own opinion, it is until I see Messi perform in national team or other Club that I will rank him alongside football greats like Pele, Maradonna, Zidane. |

messi might not be the greatest ever, but for any player to be compared with pele and maradona, i needn't say more on how good that player is. |

u guys should understand one thing when it comes to players and teams teams differ. and their strategy or philosophy or anything you want to call it is different. A player does well not just because of his character but the TEAM'S AVERAGE CHARACTER. what i mean is this its always 11 vs 11 not 1 vs 11 it takes everybody's collective play for the team to shine. its been said that the heart of a team is in the MIDFIELD. you dont need to be a star to win. just do your job. thats why Uruguay and other teams will win matches without having great names on their squad and i know you won't say its luck. everybody does their job. from defence to attack. dont arsenal have fabregas? have they won the league? real madrid has good, great players and so does barca. if you watch them play its not messi or ronaldo that plays the defence or midfield. PUYOL and co will do their job XAVI and co will do their job then messi and co will finish up. same for real madrid. when barca or real madrid play different teams, they will ouclass the opponent but when they meet. barca outshines them. its not messi's hand doing but a collective team effort. none of them plays well for their country. argentina and portugal suffers even with these players in their squad. so will nigeria. they(argentina, portugal) should fix their teams and these guys will have country honours to show. IF YOU GUYS DONT LIKE THIS. BECOME A PLAYER THEN SIGN UP FOR ARGENTINA OR PORTUGAL LETS SEE IF YOU WOULD WIN THE WORLD CUP. OR EURO OR COPA AMERICA. |

so from wot u're saying, argentina is in d same class wit em zaragoza, wigan?? i dnt even knw wot to say wen some twerps come up wit some ridiculous statements. u jst messed up ma day, honestly!!! All I'm saying is any good player will deliver in any good club that comprises best legs like Manchester U, Barcelona, Real Madrid. There is no incomplete player in their first -11. I still maintain that you advise CR7 to try Zaragoza, Birmingham city and the like to prove us wrong. Messi would have done same or better if he were a Real Madrid or Man U player. A TREE DOES NOT MAKE A FOREST. |

Ok. If we say Argentina squad has no incomplete player, how complete then are they when placed side by side with the like of Barcelona, Man U and Real Madrid teams with their coaches and management and policies. It is just that Mercy has refused to move away from Barca. The main difference between Man U and Barca at the last CH-League final was Messi and we all know that. Move Messi to Man U side and can you Imagine the kind of pressure Barca defence will have to cope with? + Barcelona will have to play more of defensive game to cope. Do the same for Madrid and Madrid will never have to defend against Barca. Messi as god is Literary. Telling you that no one can really compare to him at the moment. Has he not been likened to or compared with Pele and Maradona? What are we saying? Profesor Wenger even said and I quote: "Messi is the best by a distance" or Do you understand football more than Wenger and others? Come-on, drop ur hypocrisy accept the truth now. MESSI IS THE BEST. AND I KNOW YOU KNOW. |

However, watchout this new season and get ready for a footballing display like never before from the master of the pitch - LIONEL MESSI. Whether you like him or not I see you clapping for him, nodding your head in appreciation as you wonder what uncommon kind of footballer is he. |

The last time i checked Portugal nearly missed out on not qualifying for WC 2010, he (CR 7) was woeful during EURO 2008 I believe CR 7 was the star man, |

Re: Who Would You Pick To Complete Your First 11: Messi Or Ronaldo? by medjai(m): 11:35am On Aug 14, 2011 |
Ronaldo has proven himself anywhere he has played, oh yes, but in big team with great players like Manchester United (and MU is still winning without him) and now in another big team with great players like Real Madrid. Stars like Ibra and Villa arrived and played with Xavi and Iniesta, and both have been outclassed by Messi. Its funny how Ronaldo fans believe that he has always played in worthless teams and with worthless players. |
Re: Who Would You Pick To Complete Your First 11: Messi Or Ronaldo? by dabraska: 12:19pm On Aug 14, 2011 |
hehehehehehe!!!! from wat i can gather 4rm dis dademola's ranting, he claims dat messi is an ordinary player except xavi nd iniesta r in d team, y r all oda players in barca nt performing at messi's lvl, or is he d only 1 in barca?? very foolish opinion 4rm a very dull perspective!! or ibrahimovic dat performd wif average players d season b4 nd played alongsyd XAVI AND INIESTA, y ddnt he perform nd y was he sold?? mscheww! U know nuffn about futball, all u do is sit by d tv nd support ur team wifout gettin 2 undastand hw futball is played. well, its common to Man utd fans anyway! hv u eva askd urself y Man utd keeps enterin d finals in d champs league wif or wifout ronaldo?? u see hw biased u r? the point is, REAL MADRID AND MAN UTD R BOTH BIG TEAMS!! in every aspect! financially, real madrid is d richest, Man utd is d third richest, talkn of success, real madrid is d most successful team in d world followed by Man utd. so 4 any1 2 use dese 2 teams as an example 4 a players success is totally shallow in his thinkin about futball. y ddnt he go to Tottenham nd win d EPL trophy? den u can n say he is beta but as at nw, dey ave both been in big clubs nd Messi is his boss and he has out-classed him totally! shikena!! |

If u hav a problem wit deciphering simple explainations, i'd suggest u go bak to nusery schl and start frm d scratch, instead of reading tins upside down and making foolish, twerpy statements on public forums!! I sed someone can only b@ his best, wen he has 2 certain plyrs in his team, hw on earth does dt mean if d 2 plyrs aint dia, d plyr is a bad plyr?? Na people like u go dey complain say una dey read bt una no dey pass for skl!! Y?? Because to undatsnd d note, na die!!! Has dia eva bin an instance wia i sed messi is nt a good plyr, or dt ronaldo is a betta plyr??i sed dt since ronaldo has bin tried and tested wit 2 differnt teams, and messi has only played exceptionally wel for only one team,in d above thread, it wld b logical to pick ronaldo.
