Nigeria vs Argentina was Argentine legend Diego Maradona's last international football match. Is history about to repeat itself?

HOW MANY LALIGA TITLES HAS MADRID WON BETWEEN 2009-2018?DURING GUARDIOLA ERA,ALL CLUBS FEAR BARCA ESP MAN U AND REAL MADRID

Ronaldo 5 UCL... Barca 5 UCL

Mourinho's Madrid became the best LA liga side ever in 2012... how were they afraid of you??

Note: Zidane's Madrid won UCL thrice on a row, and that's more fearsome...

Agreed Guardiola barca was scary...

Happy birthday to a former great player

Ronaldo has surpassed you in every way imaginable but yet I still wish you all the best in your coming retirement from football


Na this kind comment dey cause unnecessary argument! Today is his brithday and the least anyone could do- the least u could do is appreciate one of the most beautiful players of the modern game. But it always has to be about your Ororo! nonsense

My brother, talent is never enough. Hardwork will take you far.

Messi is drifting away from the box, while Ronaldo is moving to the box. It is likely Ronaldo will score more goals than Messi in the coming years.

Messi just runs around these days, while Ronaldo has become one of the dealiest and finest finisher.

Happy Birthday to Messi.

Oga, Messi has won the last two Euro golden shoes! scored 54 in 206/17 to Ronaldo's 41. Scored 48 in 2018 season to Ronaldo's 44 despite the fact we all know he plays OUTSIDE the box, which has always been his natural role. Yes, he's had a bad WC and bad day at Roma, but don't make seem like Ronaldo has been consistent in the last two years! Only Madrid champions league wins have made Ronaldo look better. Those who watch games week in week out know who's actually struggling in front of goal. Ronaldo usually takes tens of shots before he eventually gets his goal. Messi almost doesn't get an sniff of the ball for 20mins and before u know, it's in from nowhere! That's why he has scored 600+ in 700+ games! A deadly ratio! I'm not taking anything away from Cristiano! he's an amazing finisher and playing to his strengths even at 33, but don't make it seem he's doesn't have his offs! Or didn't u watch football last season?

That's why I hate M/cr7 arguments. They are so pathetic and make me want to vomit sometimes

You have started again. Messi is not doing well at the moment but where was your ronaldo when he reached the finals and won fifa golden boot? If You say there is nothing good about reaching the finals then let your goat get to the semis firstgrin
Don't mind them . Ronaldo has had three bad previous World Cup tournaments but was never heavily critized like Messi is now . Messi had his own moment before him in 2014 but they till never acknowledged his greatness then. Just because he is off now he becomes a nobody .

I just pity Messi situation in world football. The pressure is too much on him. For him it is a case of you must perform whether you like it or not , while for Ronaldo he doesn't have to perform . Ronaldo bad days are often overlooked while his good days are over celebrated to the high heaven (kudos to European media ). While Messi on the other hand gets little or no praise when he does something magestic. It is clear that most people wait for Messi's few times of failure just to get at him . Same people never applaud him when he does good becomes to them he has to do it .

Two examples was when he singlehandedly knocked out Chelsea out of the champions league , little was written about him and his greatness after the match but immediately he went off against Roma due to nursing injury the whole European attacked him for being too casual .

Another is when he took Argentina to the World Cup with a Hatrick , the European media felt reluctant to eulogies him as much as they do when he fails . They never talked about him being the only scorer for the so called world class Argentina team in 19 months in an official match . But they are quick to rubbish him for having two bad games in 2018 . While Ronaldo is being worshipped for finally having his best tournament outing for Portugal in decades .

That is exactly the main reason why i started supporting messi. As a man united fan i have always loved ronaldo but at a point i realized that Messi is hardly praised for his performance (consisting of good dribbles, good passes, good positiioning, team play, sportsmanship, assists, etc) While ronaldo who hardly contributes to the team work but scores lots of goals gets overpraised. Even when Messi missed the pk come and see how they were fooling themselves as if their oga has never missed before. Its a shame but they will soon be exposed. Morocco nearly defeated them and i believe once portugal gets to the round of 16, it will be overgrin

it's indeed funny that Ronaldo's deluded fans only use goals as a yardstick derive at their conclusion.. But the most mind-blowing fact still remains that Ronaldo does not even score more that Messi.

I've come to realize that a lot of football fans suffer from dementia or Poor Memory, they tend/pretend to forget how Cr7 has struggled in the 3 previous World Cups he's been to....Let's see what the future holds. Happy Birthday LEO!
