I know deep down, you are pained.

Stop taking it personal, Messi is greater than Ronaldo. The world cup is the difference, accepting this fact doesn't mean that you will not live a normal life

Oga I am not pained. I am being objective and I expect you to do the same. If you won't, no wahala. I won't reply you again. Quit the shithousery man.

Mitsurugi:



Why? Have you heard of Eusebio, the Black Panther. I swear una no dey follow sports. You even called Cryuff but didn't mention Eusebio of Portugal.

CR7 is not the league of greats. How can you say this with a straight face in the face of his footballing achievements which drowns those you mentioned. Cryuff never even won an international trophy for crying out loud

you cannot be in Pele, Maradona and Messi's level without a world cup.

It's as simple as that, you will be forced to accept reality or you will keep burning in pain

Bro, my teams have suffered most from Messi’s hand since 2005 U-20 WorldCup.

I’m a Nigerian, so I’ll automatically support Nigerian football teams. U-20 final loss, Olympics gold medal loss to Argentina. What of the number of times they’ve defeated the senior team at the WC.

I’m also an Arsenal fan and you know how much Messi have disgraced us in the CL then .

Even at that, I’ve never hated Messi because I recognise greatness.

I don’t want to start listing Messi’s qualities mheeeen.

You can like a player over another, it’s allowed. We all have choices. But how can someone watch Messi play and think someone else is better. Chai!!

Lol.

That makes two of us.

I am Nigerian, I support Arsenal (since 1993/1994).

Walahi Messi don do us shege.

2005 Under 20, The Olympics Gold Medal Match, Three Defeats at the World Cup by Messi's Argentina ( Two by Messi)

Then Arsenal UCL defeat! That one still hurts! And the various gba gbos that followed in the UCL knockouts stages? Unforgivable...

It is true Messi hurt "us" more but United have hurt Arsenal Fans too! Many dodgy Referring decisions and seemingly "arrogant posture of Ronaldo and the fact that Most Man United fans see him as a footballing god tilled the scale against him for most of us Sha.

I adore the two but deep inside me, when I am forced to choose just ONE Player, it is Lionel Olanbiwoninu Irekanmi Al-Mustapha Messi.

Messi no rule all through him active years if not dem for no frustrate or force am be4 him commot go PSG.. CR7 explores and him face still show... oya make Messi go England go prove himself na

Make Ronaldo prove himself for WC.

Even if Messi wan go EPL, your club fit afford him wages?

Objectivity is knowing that Ronaldo needs a world cup trophy to be in the level of Pele, Messi and Maradona.

It's not very hard to rationalize

FreshFarmAgro:




On an individual basis, how is Messi better than Ronaldo. Prove it please


Here lies your answer


Fifa would favour him too
But he has so many enemies while Messi is being carried by the officials. I watch all their awards when Messi gets it the happiness in those fifa officials can't be hidden

Messi dribbles more, creates more assists and distributes the ball better. Messi can play as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder, right winger, left winger while Ronaldo can only play as a forward and a left winger.

Not be the World Cup wey the whole world watch if no be penalty luck chances?... who shine pass for that match?.. all hail young Mbappé the beginning of a new era

It is not an international trophy. It is a local trophy shaa played in Europe, abi? Okay. It is played by and won by whom? Club or country? Haba na!

It's a local trophy. It's just like carling cup in England. Winning carling cup is not recognized as a double or treble

Na so una carry Ronaldo Award give Modric, Ronaldo Haters. Make una rest abeg. Ronaldo represents for us, goal getters who fight against obstcales and trust hard work, which in itself isn't a bad thing. Than some people who's dependency is on likeness of officials.

How was it Ronaldo award? What did he do to deserve it. He left the team that won the trophy and you expect him to still get the award? You guys are funny

It is but outside of Europe, e no get levels.

Felissima get levels pass am

I understand your argument as levels go, but its like saying the Ballon D'Or winning George Weah was no great simply because he never won the World Cup. He never even went. Some players will never have the honour not because they are not good but because of their country's pedigree in football. Just look at Belgium. So De Bryune falls short of greatness because of his country's poor pedigree, abi?

On a team note, Messi always had more chances of winning the WC than Portugal. They are a WC traditional team. And I believe that is why CR7 just concentrated on individual honours till he won the 2 international trophies. Still una no let am drink water.

Ronaldo is a living legend like it or love it

Na so o.

What I like about Messi winning the World Cup if it had happened the other way, I honestly believe he will retire. The guy is that kind of person.

The trolling and hounding is just too much. And that is understandably because the loud Media is in Europe where CR7 comes from.

And I want CR7 to win it too but will time allow him? He is an awesome player too. It is a shame he came in the era of that Dwarf from Rosario.

In another time another era CR7 is a worthy G.O.A.T. unfortunately he came up against Messi. And he (CR7) definitely bigged himself up to a fault.. his fans also contributes to people hating on him.

You are the dummy in this case. I’ve always known Pendu fan boys like you don’t have sense so I’ll let it slide and school you.

The Portuguese team have one of the most talented crop of players excelling for their clubs at the World Cup, even when they play together in their National team, you can easily tell that they are a quality team ( especially when Pendu is on the bench). In contrast, some key players of the Argentine team, especially those that won the Copa America were injured and didn’t make the squad list: players like Aguero, Lo Celso and the likes.

Scaloni won the World Cup with players like Enzo Fernandez (who didn’t even play in the qualifiers at all), Mac Allister (the Brighton player who wouldn’t have started at the WC if Celso was fit), players like Foyth and the likes.

If you really watch Argentina matches (I don’t expect a dumb pendu fan to watch live matches anyway, they’re always watching on Nairaland), you’d know that Argentina weren’t even at their best in this competition and they starting gelling towards the later part of the Competition, even at that they made a lot of mistakes.

In terms of talent and potential, if a football fan were to list a combine first IX from both teams before the WC, Portugal will have more players than Argentina. But I don’t expect someone like you to know that. You can defend Pendu’s failure at the WC without sounding stupid.

I think Ronaldo has few time left, even if he makes the 2026 Portuguese squad and they go all the way, I don’t think he’ll be influential in the winning other than being a squad player.

I’m judging him based on what he does on the field of player and his current form. He’s had a good career though, a career that many past and present footballl can only dream of.

There are local trophies organized by the local football associations for the purpose of development. Nations League is still in that category until it is accepted across other continents and so all countries have a chance to compete for it. Untill then, it is an experimental or developmental trophy
