Jokerman:


Stop arguing

Castrol, the official sponsor of the tournament, released a team of the tournament based on their Castrol Performance Index, which evaluates player performances through statistical data. The team consisted of the players leading each position, with midfielder Toni Kroos ranked as the overall leader.[103] Lionel Messi, the Golden Ball recipient, finished fifth among forwards and was thus not included in the team.[104]

festacman:
Can't we just relish and appreciate these two geniuses while their career lasts. We are fortunate to watch them play live because future generations will only read about them in history books and watch their old clips.

Elxandre:

Actually Ronaldo of earlier years was an incredible beast too.
He has all these and more like heading ability etc.
Both could win any game and were just as equally destructive.
For example, Ronaldo has 55 free kick goals, but people think he's a poorer taker than Messi, even though Messi just became good in recent seasons. In fact he still leads Messi in overall free kick goals.

Ronaldo is clearly past his peak. That's just age at work. Messi is past it too to a lesser extent though. It's not a mistake Barca always gets knocked out of the champions league in recent years.

Recency bias has widened the gap between those two.
Those who watched football in 2008 and are objective will understand me better.

You like grasping at straws. Is Castrol higher than FIFA? If it was Castrol that ranked Messi top based on statistics and FIFA gave the award to Toni Kroos, I'm sure you wouldn't let anyone rest with the fact that Kroos won the official FIFA award.

Go and take the golden ball away from Messi if it pains you so much as it obviously is.

In 2018, Messi was the best player for the entire football season based on Opta Statistics, yet he was ranked 5th in the Ballon dor award. I'm sure you didn't go to take up a case for Messi then.

Jon Snow you know nothing.

Slawormir:

Damnnnnn niggarrr
You must be a real niggarrr

Every body will pick Messi over Ronaldo anyday anytime twice on Saturday

As a real niggarrr

When Iniesta won the award in 2010, was he the best statistically?

Jon Snow you know nothing.

Jokerman:


Lol... Every football fan knows Messi deserves a world cup or Copa, so no one is pained... Infact we Ronaldo fan respect Messi, buh you guys disrespect Ronaldo a lot, that's why we like to open your nyash outside

This is not the first time Messi is involved in robbing

Sneijder ballondor 2010
Kroos golden ball 2014
Ronaldos best laliga award in 2011 (after winning the league)
Ronaldo forward of the year in laliga (after winning 3 golden boots and also winning UCL best scorer)
Barcelona vs Chelsea 2009
Barcelona vs Arsenal 2011

Too much to say. However Messi is still one of the greatest

kecee99:
Kaka is just jealous bcuaz penaldo is more cute than he is

ThierryJay:


Sighs, the thing is all these your imagined robberies are only what you feel. If I were to go your route, did Ronaldo not rob Ribery of ballon dor in 2013? If every fan were to have their choice, you will have different outcomes. So you cannot hold people ransom to how you think they should regard a player without verifiable facts and based on what you FEEL.

Jokerman:


Iniesta was in team of the tournament

ThierryJay:


That's how you fail exams. Was HE THE BEST STATISTICALLY?

That was the assertion you insinuated earlier.

TGMISKY:
So Kaka should lie just because he played with Ronaldo?
Anyway, both are unique. One is the most talented while the other is the best at working hard.

Jokerman:


He wasnt though.... Buh he atleast made team of the tournament

ThierryJay:


Of course he did. And what does that prove? Was the team of the tournament by CASTROL?

Sambaby7640:
So messi is just talented and not working hard abi? I hate it when people say Messi is just talented as if he doesn't work really hard to stay at the top.If it was just only talent then Ronaldinho should have stayed at the top really longer than he did.

Mikel Obi is better than all of them

Akorede02:
You mean Kaka choose between ME and BUHARI. Am a genius while buhara is a pure SHIT.

DrayZee:

Pele and Maradona must be insane then.

Bayokun:


The oil in your brain is still fresh sir...

Kimiyya:
That's his opinion.


CR7 over messi anyday, anytime, twice on a cold Saturday noon.

Jokerman:


Ronaldo has been in every team of the season from 2004.... Which is about 16 years from now... So not only Messi....

Incredible goals that can't win best goal award, even in his twisted little laliga

So Ronaldo only assists by crosses??

If ronaldo is a tap in legend, how come he has more assists than Xavi (playmaker award owner) or even Iniesta or ronaldinho

So because Xavi has more playmaker awards than zidane or ronaldinho or lampard, make Xavi better than them?

Ronaldo is the player with the most dribbles in a single match

Ronaldo is the player with the most assists in a single match -4 (shared with Pele )

Ronaldo is the player with the most assists in UCL, Madrid, Portugal, Euros competition

Ronaldo is the player with the most freekicks even not scoring for club in 2 years

Ronaldo scores different types of goals, tap in, scorpion kick, back heel goals, scissors kicks, long range shots, headers, placement, dribbling if goal keeper, weak foot chipping goals etc...

Apart from placement and chipping goals, what other kind of goals does Messi score??

RONALDO IS MORE THAN THE GREATEST GOAL SCORER EVER...

HE IS ALSO A PROVIDER OF GOALS AND A SKILLFULL DRIBBLER

anigbajumo:
They all knw being the greatest player of all time is more than staying in the box waiting for tap in but to score incredible goals and assists not just assists by crossing the ball but create chances from middle with mid blowing dribble in that makes ur opponent looks like a fool.

The S.I unit of football is Leo,I knw some fool will say he should leave Barca but av forgotten leo has been playing with different players and up to 7 different coaches with different tactical football approach.

No player ever has won playmaker award meant for midfielders 4x and European Golden boots 4x meant for striker except messi,that alone tells u he is not just a tap in legend like the other guy,Pele and mardona do their magic in just 4_7 years,Leo is still sitting in the throne for almost 15 yrs now, absolutely the greatest player ever.

safarigirl:
Wow, you mean Kaka picked his fellow South American over an European he briefly played club football with?

Jokerman:
Okocha is a better player than Mikel, buh why is Mikel greater than Okocha??

Now see Ronaldo, he's always the best as he wins trophies ....

If you call Ibrahimovic or Anelka here, be sure to tell us their Individual trophies compared with cr7
