Stop being a hypocrite

If Messi scored a hat trick and Ronaldo missed a penalty and ended up scoreless, irrespective of the opposition, I'm sure we won't see this useless epistle from you. It is your type who will tell us how Messi is the GOAT without an international title.

It must be pretty hard seeing Messi sleepwalk through another drab performance in the World Cup so you must become professorial to explain why Messi can't beat a part time film maker from 12yards; as if Messi hasn't had a history of blowing opportunities at international level.

You asked me to remind you how many goalsRonaldo scored against Iceland. At least he willed his team to win that Tournament and he didn't miss from 12yards.

Messi couldn't even hit target from three free kicks. Ronaldo scored to bring his team level against the best keeper in the world.

Stop being butt hurt and hopeMessi is inspired to play well against Croatia instead of this sad platter of excuses you are serving here.

Ronaldo showed you how it's done and Messi went on ghost mode. Simples.
If you can't accept it, tough luck.

It's a pity I don't argue football again (or any sort of argument whatsoever) , otherwise both of us would have locked horns with facts and figures....

Enjoy your day.....

Argue with statistics and records

I wl believe it, only when it comes from the LEGEND'S I stated above, nt U. Am only telling U who LEGEND'S, that strtd the game n has broken different records, before the existence, of MESSI n CR7, were even born, chose to be the best, amng the two. So no need going to the net, because, LEGEND'S all knw, who the complete player is. U cn as well argue wt them, then I wl ask U, what r ur achievements, in the world of soccer. "If there is any current god of Soccer, his name is ME$$I." ETO'O

blaise26abj:


The truth is remove him from Barca and Messi becomes a bit ineffective. He is a great team player and if his team isn’t playing well he doesn’t too. Unlike Ronaldo who can be the tree in a forest irrespective of how his team plays

Short term memory
Let me refresh it for you
He scored three solid goals in their final game that brought them to the world cup


He carried them single handedly to the final in brazil

mikron:
icardi is not in the Argentine team. Be guided

That I know. It doesn't exclude him from the Argentine team.

The coach just didn't choose him.

My 100,000naira has entered voicemail. I staked 100k on Argentina to win with 1.37 odd on bet9ja, Messi and Aguero bleeped up. Na wa o

Mr long term memory. If he likes he should carry them to the competition final, if they don’t win he would have failed. Has he won any major competition with his country? Abeggy

You believe old legends over statistics?

Sigh...

In 2016, Iceland tied Portugal, 1-1. Ronaldo took 10 shots, no goals.

In 2018, Iceland tied Argentina, 1-1. Messi took 11 shots, no goals.

Iceland vs. Ronaldo and Messi: 21 shots conceded, no goals.

FoolishBoy419:


dont mind them. They are acting as if penaldo doesnt miss penalties

Is good to analyse football wtout sentiments.

Emisco1:

Yes euros 2016

What has messi won?

Horlaboy51:


We go hear am tonight. Croatia 5:0 Nigeria

lol Nigeria is at the receiving end

I doubt if every one who comments here watched the Argentina-Iceland game. Messi's low point in that game was only that missed penalty, and one or two times when he was harried and dispossessed. Other than that, he absolutely dominated the game. Anytime he had the ball, there was always that sense of expectancy. Every other player kicked the ball for kicking sake(if you can look beyond the two goals scored).

Anyone who have ever played a competitive match/tournament before knows that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to see 1 player out of the normal 22 that can participate in a football game, dominate regularly and with ease. Iceland as a whole had to pack the bus in order for him not to cause damage, and while they succeeded at that, Messi still had a decent display(minus the missed pk). He was the one pulling the playmaking strings, as well as the one skipping challenges and firing at the Icelandic goal.

Goals are important, that is sure. But then that is not the only facet of football. It is this understanding that makes Messi the consummate attacker. Of course his stats in every attacking department in La Liga speaks for itself. It is also what makes Messi, in my opinion, better than Ronaldo. Ronaldo's goals are what makes him feared and relevant. On his off days when he doesn't score, check his contribution- he would be totally anonymous. The Champions League final is a good example of such days. Meanwhile, goals or no goal, Messi can never be anonymous. His impact must be felt.

In conclusion, that Messi missed a penalty still doesn't make Ronaldo better than him. You can't compare a goal-poacher with an all-round dictatorial attacker.

Humchi:


you think iceland can be a walk over

It is the same iceland that c.ronaldo couldn't score against in 2016.. Iceland end up drawing portugal

The same iceland that defeat england..

Bro, think up....

Cr7 goals against spain was due to de gea bad performance...
Two avoided goals.. Passed him..

So even the thunderous free kick was a bad performance from De Gea. My guy hatred has washed off your brain matter.

hoopLA:

Lol.
This dense thing filling up my mentions.

You no get sense walahi.

Go and check the meaning of the word "perspective" then apply it to why I brought in Müeller

You are beyond daft. Let me guess. A product of handout education.

WFT is handout education?

To all those saying Ronaldo likes penalty, what about the one Messi missed. That means taking a successful penalty is also a dire skill. Messi should just go and take lessons from CR7. That guy is just an enigma.

Vivipop:
Goal!!!!!
No team has come to this world cup to play ooo

Except Nigeria.. We went to Russia for fashion parade

maynia:


Yes euros 2016

What has messi won?

Oga I was talking about Messi

Daeylar:

aguero is a striker too and he showed it.

no hatred here...

Go and watch that free kick again...

And watch how de gea was in the course when the ball was coming...

You called it thunderous because cr7 played it...

Bro likes of de gea are expected to catch that kind of shot...

That free kick is no near spectacular..
