Cristiano Ronaldo overrated? you are smoking weed

m140:

Messi won nothing for senior team, nothing

Now the arguement has evolved to "not winning anything for country" to "not winning anything for the country's senior team"?

Well, atleast he took the senior team to finals atleast 3 times. What else do you want him to do? He should take them to heaven?

m140:

He broke another record in his new team, he won nationals league

Brazil has won so many national leagues. Does that make Neymar better than Messi?

m140:

With all his ballon d'or no copa, no wc ... he won nothing for national team and you calles him goat, children watching the beatiful game these days, social media over hyping players too.

Lol. But he has won 5 Bdrs even without world cups na.

Mumu quote... Because Messi has been failing to win trophies, u Messi fans have changed goal post... It's now individual play ... [s]But when modric won it the yr b4 ahead of Ronaldo[/s]... U dint remember that Croatia getting to the final of the WC was team effort... Ronaldo floors messi, if fake FIFA want, they should keep on dashing Messi fake awards... Posterity will judge

Ideally, it should be individual performances. Messi, by virtue of his play-style creates alot of chances which are at the mercy of the finishers. Messi can't strike, midfield and defend simultaneously.

I have never supported the Bdr given to Modric for once. You are being too presumptuous.

dayowunmi:

Don't be cynical. Answer his question. What major title or achievement has Messi won that Ronaldo hasn't? Facts only. And pls don't come and bang about goals scored. What has Messi won over Ronaldo or even Maradona or Pele?

Messi has won the best player in ever tournament he played but Ronaldo hasn't

m140:

M10 and cr7 can never be Goat, they never won the games biggest and most respected trophy, with all their records they never broke a single record in the most prestigious tournament in the game .... WC. The can never be goat, they are only European football goats.

UEfAC is not respected?

Belac290:
Dis 5 players are greater than CR7...Patrick Viera, Pavel Nedved, Del Piero, Zidane nd d GOAT himself

Gbam!

MrFly:
boy there are no complexities in football rules nowadays, football has been redefined to favour goals yet ds guys have failed in d art of goalscoring. Pele didnt have a long career compared to this yet he made goalscoring his own

Defenders in those days did not have much technique, that's why it was easier to score. Most defenders back then were not very good players unlike these days.

Zumarocket:


And a champions League winner too??

Ask him o

Debaiz:


Lol standing ovation is an achievement?


If that is what you care about, google Betis vs Barca game last season and read up. That was the latest standing ovation.

You people just come with nonsense and think you’re replying a kids who don’t watch ball.

LMAO @bolded

m140:

Lolzzzz, if you rate messi over R9 , you still very young

. Dem no sabi na Ronaldo de Lima the name alone gives you goose bumps they think it’s a joke to call someone Fenomeno if not for injuries and a shortlived career despite that he achieved a lot Messi doesn’t have anything on him talent and ability wise and CR7 can’t eben lace his boots he is the one and the only Ronaldo the Real Ronaldo did it in Spain,Italy,Holland and Zidane is another player I admire a lot these two are arguably some of the most talented footballers in the game they’re football...!!As proud as ibrahimovic is he once said Ronaldo de Lima is his idol and the only player he bows down to he was grinning when he took a pic with him at an event bout 4yrs ago

So rude,must everything be replied with an insult.Men this generation has a long way to go.

Debaiz:


Read again, this time slowly you will see a certain word called “consecutive” then look for a dictionary to get the meaning. You’d be alright las las.

Zumarocket:


And a champions League winner too??

Yes because he played in Europe... And is the UCL bigger than the World Cup??

Someone took his team to the WC finals 3 times, and provided 3 assists in one of the finals, and his team won all... You now compare one that couldn't win a spoon with his country to him??

Pele overrated? The op us high!

Jokerman:
A barcelonian list

We are talking of the "greatest "... What has Messi done or acheived on won that this players haven't done

Pele
Maradona
Zidane
Ronaldo
CR7

Do me, Kroos is not overrated. He is rightly rated; he is not a legend and not a great but is slightly above good. Kanu, Neymar and Pele are some of the most overrated players in history.

YorubaKing:
Rubbish list!

Where's VanBasten, Romario, Bebeto etc... ?

Kids of the generation sha...

leave them. Messi fan boys Goat that can't win common Copa America not to talk of world Cup. Maradona, Pele, Ronaldo De Lima, Zidane and Cristiano are ahead of that dwarf. No one will remember him in years to come because great players will be judged by their impact in their national teams on the world's stage.

GEEBITE:

Where’s the insult in that? Cos I told you to read slowly?

My initial statement wasn’t an insult but this one down here is me lambasting you for failing to read to comprehend and you still don’t know the difference between insult and advise. If I say something about your English you’d still call it insult and rant about a certain generation of which I’m sure we’re either of same generation or yours is younger than mine.

Bottom line, you’ve failed your English education as either my generation, older generation or even the lower generation that you likely belong to.

Let's check the last Monday together sir??

Who won the best??

Who came 2nd??

Who finished 3rd??

Jokerman:


Someone took his team to the WC finals 3 times, and provided 3 assists in one of the finals, and his team won all... You now compare one that couldn't win a spoon with his country to him??

don't waste your time replying that dude, they have no clue. Let their Goat win Copa America first. If Maradona had all the players Messi have at his disposal, Argentina would have won the world cup 3 times. Pele the player of the century is overrated, these guys are high on something.

Who’s this kid? Where’s Pele?

Jokerman:


Pele had 127

Not true
. The only controversial one is that of Chitalu of Zambia.. 120+...
It is not an official goal tho!!

People say Pele scored 1200+ goals, hope they know that Josef Bican scored more than 2500+ goals

Non-competitve era... 50's and 60's football!!!

Ask zlatan if messi is better than he is , am sure he will say no , tell him R9 is better he will tell you he is his idol, that guy R9 bad ghan, i swear social media hyped players these days
