Football is football whether you excelled in your national team or club...

I don't subscribe to the idea that R9 or CR7 or any other great is better than Messi because they played for different teams. If Aguero, David Silva, Torres, Fabregas and others before them left Spain to England and still dominated, then Messi would have totally shattered all the records in the EPL in his prime. Imagine Messi playing for this Manchester City team or Manchester United's team in 2008...

Talking about inspiring national teams to victory, I don't know if you actively followed football in 2002 because that Brazilian team was mad. People just overrate the Argentine national team because of their big name attackers but easily forget that Argentina has a shit midfield and defense...I will take the current Portuguese team a billion times over Argentina...

is Messi waiting for a perfect team to even win copa america haba. And the Argentina NT has had very good players. The current Portuguese team is currently far better than the quality of the ones that WON title in years past

Messi will only be remembered like every other goal scoring machine and a legend in Spanish club football.

If Ronaldo mistakingly win UCL with Juventus. Ronaldo will over surpass him

98% of players that played with both CR7 and Messi, named MS10 as the better player.

Be like this guy has a weird fetish, dribbling goalkeepers.

It is easier to score with an empty net. Getting the net empty is the hard part.

You think it was different in Ghana? Why do many Nigerians go abroad and work for 20-30 yrs in private and public sector with clean records but come home and become corrupt? Lack of accountability. No repercussion or consequences for their crimes when they are back home.

Corruption started from the top in Nigeria and if it will be cured it should also be cured from the top. If a group of young detribalized officers can delete the last 2 or 3 generations of politicians and generals that ruined the country it will start the long road back.

my brother corruption is an hydra headed problem.

KingAlabi:


In your view
Tominay is better than Fred

In my view they are both average players.

It doesn't matter even if 1000 percent of them think Messi is better.

Messi is like that rich uncle that refuses to pick your call but keeps doing giveaway on twitter.

In Argentina, Maradona is still their god as far as football is concerned even though Messi has 6 ballon d'ors!!

...and thunder fire whoever advised Messi to quit his national team at his prime.

It doesn't matter because they didn't mention CR7.

Most of CR7 ex team mates at Real Madrid and Man United also mentioned Messi when asked this same question, but you will hardly see any Barcelona player (past and present) pick CR7.

This are the guys that watched/know them in and out, better than we viewers......so their decision is key to this debate.

Those player are just players, they are humans and they can be sentimental. Sepp Blatter preferred Messi to Ronaldo, he even ridiculed Ronaldo just to praise Messi. He's supposed to be a professional and better than us, remember?

Majority of players playing with Ronaldo presently will choose him over Messi likewise Messi.

Messi will do himself a whole lot of good if he can at least win one tangibe thing with the national team.

If not, he might just be remembered like many of us remember Okocha.

Fred is a better average player than Mctominay

George Weah that couldn't even lead his nation to world cup, Ahmed Musa is surely greater than him if so na..

Six Ballon do’ors, multiple golden shoes, best player in every single tournament he ever played, just another Okocha. The nerves

This Gareth Northgate no go last at all.


Belgium wan kill am.
42 minutes
2-0

It's surprising seeing Silva from la liga doing it in England, ozil to an extent also doing it in England, aguero also came and did it in England...


But but.. Messi, who mostly score or assist will supposedly not do it in England.

The underrating sha!!

They just have very good forwards not players.
They barely have good midfielders and defenders.

Silva and Ozil also did it for their national team and won major trophies, Messi is Barcelona GOAT shikena...

Wahala oooo

TrebleChamp:

So Messi did nothing for Argentina?

And he is their highest goal scorer and best player in every tournament.

My opinion remains: Football has no G.O.A.T. All we have are multiple candidates each with valid claims to the top position.

A selection will contain a bias for a particular set of criteria which eliminates objectivity.

English Gernot Rohr won't lead 3 Puppies anywhere. They need to do away with him before he does away with their golden moments.

What kind of comparison is this?

Is Messi a Nigerian? Is Okocha an Argentine?

Oasis007:


If we can go back to Regional Government, I believe it will help to reshape the Country. You have your People in Power, in control of Resources, thus you do not need blaming Nigeria as a whole anymore, rather your People.

You gonna know where to channeling your Grievances.

This is exactly my point, once things are going south, we know who to blame, and hold accountable, for instance now look at this Lekki shooting saga now, nobody to hold accountable. Some will say Sanwo Olu today, Tinubu, Tomorrow, Buhari nxt tomorrow ndwe keep running the same circle, how long can this continue?

thorrvik55:

Why na?

Every Nigerian kid wants to be as skillful as Okocha but Kanu is sure greater and successful than him. Every mature adult knows this.


Replace Nigeria with Argentina.
Okocha with Messi.
Kanu with Maradona.

If Messi does not win any thing with the national team till he retires, that will be his fate.

Maradona has made things difficult for Messi by having a world cup.

This is high time to do away with Pogba! Enough of disrespect for the Club and Fans.

If Offer comes in January, Ed must cash out.

So Maradona had more awards/records/goals/assists/trophies than Messi?



It's only national team trophy that counts in football?

Slightly unpopular opinion but let's sell Pogba before his worth drops further.

It's clear the guy can't be a consistent member of our starting XI because of a lethargic lack of workrate and he's too high profile to sit on the bench.

If we can use his fee to get Upamecano or some decent center back and a DM we have solved two pressing issues we have.

Also, I'm tired of hearing he needs to be unlocked like say na Airtel modem him be?
