RayMcBlue: LoyaltyYou know you so funny. You stylishly turned what was a plus to C.Ronaldo into a negative thing. When it comes into club football, there is nothing like loyalty and that is why contracts are usually signed with certain conditions and if the conditions are met, the player could either leave or decide to stay further if the club wants him to. Players make their decisions based on several reasons. Ronaldo's mum had always wanted him to play at Madrid even when he was a kid.Moreover, Ronaldo is an explorer, he likes challenges and has proved his worth severally at different clubs while your Messi is afraid of the unknown and just wanna stay in his comfort zone all the time. Ronaldo wins! 3 Likes |

Ichel: Stop misunderstanding me, you can't ccompare a team like Argentina to an average team like Portugal always relying on their star man to win matches, take a look at Messi, he plays for Argentina or sidelined with injury they ll still do exceptionally well cos of the chain of world class players in the team. George Opong Weah succeeded at club level but was never able to bring that to the mediocre Liberian team no matter how hard he tried, now imagine if he was from Nigeria or Cameroun ponder what he would ve achieved at the National level, so stop misunderstanding me cos I know what I said, besides CR7 has Brazil traits. Get the message. Thanks 3 Likes |

RayMcBlue: Technique How sir? How does this go to Messi? Messi prefers ro do the chip thing one on one when the keeper is out, Ronaldo prefers to round the keeper before putting the ball in the net. From the sides, Messi prefers to curl the ball, ronaldo prefers to use a rocket on the near post. Moreover, Ronaldo's methods of hitting the ball with the in-step particularly during free kicks is unrivalled and that is why some balls pass just above the keeper's head sometimes and yet unstoppable. For every technique Messi has, Ronaldo has it or a substitute. There is no technique Messi as shown that Ronaldo can't match but there are lots of techniques Ronaldo does that beats Messi talking about in-out, ou-in leg overs, passing of the ball with his back and so on.If at all, this is balanced even though Ronaldo seems better, the best you can do for Messi is to leave it balanced. He is not better than Ronaldo with respect to techniques. 3 Likes |

Re: Lionel Messi V Christiano Ronaldo by Iamzuna(m): 6:43am On Sep 11, 2014 |
All dese analysis na jege jare. If mesef analyze both players based on potentials and ability, then Ronaldo would win by a wide margin but then your ability and potentials cannot make you a better player (ask Totti, Rooney, Cassano) but there is what we call Statistics (sic) and the Stats speaks 4 each player. Now concerning Ronaldo and Messi, if i should be biased then i would say they are equal but the truth is Messi is way ahead of Ronaldo. It was only Ronaldo's last season at United and last season that he was on equal level with injured Messi. And please any1 callin Portugal an average team knows little or notin about football. |

But come to think of it I don't know if It's becos I don't watch la liga o But I have never see messi head a ball.........and scoring many goals doesn't mean you are a great player. who know half of his career goals may have been from assists and pks Cos messi isn't a football labourer like bale :-D and someone was saying ronaldo is proud It's like u haven't met zlatan 3 Likes |

Messi has spent almost twice the time Ronaldo has spent in La Liga and Ronaldo is almost catching up. If he (Ronaldo) should spend the same time, he will take Messi's numerous goals to the bins. 3 Likes |
Re: Lionel Messi V Christiano Ronaldo by Iamzuna(m): 9:31pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
naturalwaves: Lol.... You are so wrong... Need i remind you that Messi started from the youth team in Barca and graduated to first team. He also had competition from the likes of Eto, Henry, Larsson, Dinho, Guily, Gio Dos Santos (when he was still playing his best football) then and he was most of the time injured. Now if you want to know what i mean, count their goals from when Ronaldo joined Madrid and use that to compare. Ronaldo was in Man United for about 3 Years before he started scoring lots and lots of goals in a season. So if you would want to compare both players based on games then you will have to start from when Ronaldo was in Lisbon (also not forgetting that Ronaldo is older then Messi and must have started his senior career before Messi). But if you want to compare the goals based on games Ronaldo has played in Madrid, then you will have to Start counting Messi's from when Ronaldo Joined Madrid. |
Re: Lionel Messi V Christiano Ronaldo by naturalwaves: 9:41pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
Iamzuna: As far as I am concerned, Messi has graduated to the Senior Barca team as far as 2005/2006. Those names you mentioned are basically centre forwards and Messi isn't one so, I see no reason why he should be disturbed. Moreover, we can't compare their antecedents ( previous clubs etc) but comparing their stay in La Liga and no of goals scored per match, Ronaldo still has a better goal ratio than Messi. 1 Like |

Re: Lionel Messi V Christiano Ronaldo by Iamzuna(m): 9:55pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
naturalwaves: Now here is your stats... From 2009 till date for Real Madrid, Ronaldo has played 250 games and scored 255 goals..... Messi for Barcelona from 2009 till date has played 266 games and scored 276 goals. For total career goals, Ronaldo has played for Lisbon, United and Madrid a total of 573 games and scored 378 goals..... Messi in total for Barcelona has played 459 and scored 367 goals..... So please tell me what stats you are as well talking about and who has a better goal per game ratio |

habiolah: I believe that Ronaldo cannot play well in a tiki taka team like Barca but Messi will have no problem with a counter attacking team. Wrong? What people fail to understand is that Madrid has a better balanced team than Barca. Ronaldo does little or nothing when the team is down but takes the glory when they win (probably because he might just head in a corner or just tap in a Di Maria pass). Lol |
Re: Lionel Messi V Christiano Ronaldo by Endowed595(m): 10:58pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
You pple are not serious, When does messi ever mark or husle ball, Ronaldo is way way better in free kick, shot power, speed, aerial balls..... Messi is just a lazy goal scorere.....Suarez don show nw 4 Likes |
Re: Lionel Messi V Christiano Ronaldo by naturalwaves: 11:09pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
Iamzuna:Let's do the maths; Ronaldo-----255/250= 1.02 goals per match Messi--------276/266= 1.04 goals per match Iamzuna: Ronaldo-------378/573= 0.66 goals per game Messi---------367/459= 0.80 goals per game Iamzuna: So please tell me what stats you are as well talking about and who has a better goal per game ratioSince there are no half goals or quatre goals. They have both scored an average of one goal per match and that makes it equal . Don't mind me, just joking. Based on the statistics you have provided, Messi has a better goal ratio than Ronaldo.
