I think Kanu and Okocha are also both good and overrated. They may qualify as legends in Africa though. Messi GOAT? Ronaldo fans are coming for head. Like the dude above me 10 Likes 4 Shares |

Jokerman: ![]() Real footballers know that Messi is the goat. As Zlatan Ibrahimovic would say, " Ronaldo is a trained product". @bolded. To start with, they have not won Ballon d'or and Fifa men's player award as much as Messi, neither has their goals been nominated for puskas as much as Messi. Modified# Those of you saying that Messi does not score in critical matches don't know that more than half of the time spent by opposing teams during training is on how to stop Messi.

DanXplore:Just hear yourself talk bro. Puskas nomination is an achievement? Nominated but never won for that matter! Fifa best player is an award issued based on votes. Votes can be political. Both Ronaldo and Messi have both won Balon'dors which were highly underservered cos its easier for them to get pity votes due to their fame. 62 Likes 7 Shares |

dayowunmi: The bolded was to buttress his greatness in that context. In statistics, consistency is being defined when an outcome occurs severally. Ronaldo, like Messi, has won Bd'or severally making them far better than the rest above and so the arguement shoud be between Messi and CR7. "Pity votes" is the singular line of defence most Messi-Antagonists use against him. Are you saying Ronaldo has not been a beneficiary of "pity votes"? What was so outstanding about CR7 last season that made him to be nominated alongside VVD and Leo for Ballon d'or and Fifa men's respectively? 42 Likes 3 Shares |

Re: Ranking Of Footballers: From Goat To Overrated By Sportbible by Nobody: 7:49pm On Oct 14, 2019 |
Jokerman: Lol in what universe is player of the century better than as many ballon d'or? Remember that Pelle played in the era where football was less sophisticated unlike Messi. Also, I think it is more ideal to consider a player's individual performance than collective. No matter how good a player is, if you have very useless defenders who concede goals all the time, you will not go far in footbal and this could be illustrated well with the match Barca played against Liverpool in the most recent UEFA Don't forget that Messi won gold for his country at the junior level and so presuming that he is not GOAT because he has not won a thing for his country is out of place. Also, Messi has taken his country to world cup finals atleast twice or even more. All the key playmakings and goals where made by him. What more do you want from Messi? Should Messi attack, midfield, defend and keep goals out simultaneously? 39 Likes 5 Shares |

Re: Ranking Of Footballers: From Goat To Overrated By Sportbible by Nobody: 8:32pm On Oct 14, 2019 |
dayowunmi: There are two key issues in your initial comment 1. You said it is easier for them to get votes and not that they certainly got votes. There's a difference. The answer to my question asking if Ronaldo got pity votes is simply of a "yes" or "no" . I am not saying you are saying Ronaldo had pity votes. I want to know if you think he had pity votes ![]() 2. To further create more ambiguity to your point, you used "underservered" (twice now) which is very confusing as I cannot find a meaning to it. 3. There's a reason why they are famous. They have a track record of excellence and if it buys them favour in the sight of men, it is still their hardwork that is speaking for them. 6 Likes |

DanXplore:1.The year Inter won the champions league and Netherlands reached the world Cup final,Sneijder deserved the Balon'dor over Lionel Messi. The year Ronaldo was nominated aside Frank Ribery, Ribery had a better season. Both got pity votes on both occasions. I made a veiled reference to that earlier when I said both had gotten pity votes over the course of their careers. Dunno why you asking if I think Ronaldo had gotten pity votes 2. You can't find a meaning to undeserved? It means they both won awards where there were more deserving contenders. And I used that in response to you or the op statement that Messi won more Fifa best than Ronaldo. 3. Okay. I concur. I think Messi is more skillful than Ronaldo, but the hunger, dedication and passion of Ronaldo for the game is rare. You cannot logically argue Messi is better. You can have your preference between the two but if all you have to say is Messi has one more Fifa best than him then you are grasping at straws. For a start, they are both still active and there is no reason to bet against Ronaldo getting more Fifa best awards before he retires. Even if he doesn't, a sole fifa best awards gong is inadequate to qualify him as a Goat over Ronaldo except of course you are a barca fan living in your own little delusion of Messi's grandeur. 32 Likes 2 Shares |
