Read what you wrote so slowly. Messi has all these achievements as one person and you spread his achievements over 3 players. Will you now ask for the fusion of these 3 players as one individual and hand over the Balon d 'or?
[/s]

Are you stupid? Messi is not the highest goals/assists. Messi does not have the most trophies??

You well bro?? Please read again...

The only thing Messi has to offer is a club domestic trophy and national team trophy which I pointed out earlier that Verratti, Bonucci, Chiesa, Chiellini & co also have.

You are yet to answer the question: Should we give those players Ballon D'Or too? Answer or shut up.

Below both in what sense?

Of course football is in Europe. The glamour, the excitement, the anticipation, the advertisement and the money.

But Copa America is as much a continental tournament to a South American player as the Euros is to a European player.

The value that players from South America like Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay attach to their Copa America is the same value that European players attach to their Euros.

In fact Euros, Copa America and Africa Cup of Nations are 3 competitions of the same cadre as the major continental championships.

But of course we all know that the Euros is the richest and most glamourous.

So Messi values his Copa America as much as any European player like Bonucci values his Euros.

So you guys are actually being extremely dubious with your constant declaration that "Messi won ordinary and useless Copa America"

If Ronaldo or Lewy had won the Euros that would have been your first argument for them winning Ballon dor.
That would have been your first item on the list;

Just imagine the chaos that would have ensued if Ronaldo or Lewy had won the Euros trophy, won the player of the tournament and won the highest goal scorer.

It would have been madness from Ronaldo fans.

"He won the Euros" bla bla bla
"He won the Golden" boot" bla bla bla
"He won the Golden ball" bla bla bla

No player has ever done that bla bla bla


But in Messi's case, it is "he won ordinary Copa America"


But I understand why majority of those saying that Copa America is useless are Ronaldo fans.
I understand...

So we can say copa liberdetores, Asian champions league and caf champions league is on the same level with Uefa champions league. Or we can say the Scottish league, Moldovan league or the Nigerian Premier league are all on the same level with the English Premier league. The copa , the concacaf , the African Cup of nations, the Asian Cup are all about the same. After the Euros, the next most competitive is the African nations Cup. Copa presently has only 2 teams ( Brazil and Argentina) thats cause they are the only teams in South America that are consistent in producing stars . The other 3, Uruguay, Chile and Colombia are one offs and thats the reason they don't perform in the world cup , just like other continents don't perform in the world cup . This is the reason why winners of copa are never considered in the balon dor .

Don't be ridiculous..

You cannot be comparing Copa America (a 107 year old competition) to CAF champions league.

Euros and Copa America is at best comparable to EPL and La Liga NOT Moldovan league.

Also Copa liberdetories is played by home based South American players which we don't even know.

But Copa America is contested by the best players playing in the European leagues.

In fact the best players in the European teams play Copa America even more than Euros.

Maradona
Pele
Ronaldo
Romario
Messi
Neymar
Rivaldo
Juninho
Suarez
Cavani
Coutinho
Aguero
Batistuta
Carlos

In fact I dare say better Ballon dor materials have played Copa America than Euros.

Is that what you're comparing with Copa Liberdetories?
grin
Your comparison is bulllshit.


Copa America is the oldest national team competition in the world, it is older than the World cup and older than the Euros.

It is 107 years old and a team plays 7 games to win it.

World Cup also is 7 Games to win.

Euros is 6 Games to win.


Copa America is and will always be an important competition more than worthy of producing a Ballon dor winner.

For all these years you people were insulting Messi for not winning it.

Now that he has won it, the competition has become a shiit competition?

The joke is on all of you.

U are actually wrong. Performance is looked at until end of October, that's when voting stops. And no player has done better than Robert Lewandowski in that regard

Obviously you know nothing about football and the hate of Messi is killing you gradually. He doesn't even know if you exist at all(am not exempted). When you see successful people learn to celebrate them, it will open way for you. Saying that till the end ofOctober shows that you don't even deserve my reply at all grin. I am wasting my energy. You just grab your phone and type whatever you like because you hate Messi.

Come back here and delete this your post.

This one na long story u de talk... so because its one of the oldest tournament, so what?? So FA cup should be the most important tournament since its the oldest football tournament in the world

Euros and copa is a bad example as EPL and la liga... la gods teams have the champions league records , between real madrid and barca, they have won it 18 times ... thats more than all EPL teams put together. La liga have won it most in the past 20 years ( 10 times) compared to EPL ( 5 times ) ... since champions league is the world cup of club football... the world cup itself, for the past 30 years , Brazil is the only team that have won it (2times)... and the last time was 19 yrs ago... they have only reached the final 2 times in the past 20yrs... so copa should be compared to the Portuguese league. If Euros is EPL, copa is Portuguese league not Spanish league. The difference between Europe and other continents in football, is milessssssssssssss apart.... like from earth to Mars

Look at the players u mentioned that played or play copa... if I mention European players past and present, u know that thus page no go do

Van Basten muller peter schmeicheal
Ronaldo klose Ballack
Gert muller Halaand Griezmann
Cruyff Rui costa De bruyne
Klinsmann Gerrard lukaku
Suker lampard Bernard silva

Figo Eusebio Ferdinard
Shevchenko Hagi Effenburg
Nedved Baggio Zola
Modric pirlo Fowler
Benzema van der ser Casillas
Kane Berkanbeur Buffon
Del Piero cannavaro Ibrahimovic
To mention a few grin grin grin


Copa America the best national team competition in the world and they can't win world cup thats dominated by Europe... grin grin... Germany came to south America and won the cup , Spain went Africa and won the cup , France just won it in Russia and maybe Italy this time will win it in the middle east

cr7lomo:


U dont have to win all games to win a tournament. Italy win the world cup in 82 despite drawing all their group games , so as Portugal Euros win. U cant deny Lewandowski balon d'or simply because he plays for Poland which is unfair. Dont forget weah won it in 95 playing for Liberia. . Messi did poorly individually in the champions league . He dint win la liga or barca player of the season , he has been awful this season, which also counts . Lewandowski is king now... presently, the top players in football is we speak Lewandowski, salah, benzema, Ronaldo, mbappe , vinicius Jr, Halaand. Outsiders are sane , Osimhen . Messi is no where close this season


I didn't mean you literally need to win all the 8games now, but for you to win EURO or Copa America you will need still to play 8games. So the numbers of country participating in a tournament should not be a criteria for discrediting it.

Both Messi and Lewandoski did poorly in Champions league, none of them won it or was name the best player.

In the league they both are almost on the same level, Lewandoski top Messi with some few goals, while Messi top Lewandoski with some few assist. Lewandoski and Messi were not the best players in their respective leagues.

International trophy certainly matters, And definitely makes the big difference. Especially when every country are participating in one tournament or the other.

If you want to give it to Lewandoski because he scored the highest goals, then Messi should have won ballon d'Or atleast 8 now for being the top scorer.

[b]Out of all of Messi's 6 Ballon dors, 2012 was his most deserved Ballon dor.

*50 league goals for the season (guiness record, never been done)
*73 goals for the season (guiness record, never been done)
*91 goals for the seaon (guiness record, never been done)
*26 assist for the season (guiness record, never been done)
*8 hattricks in the season (never been done)
*Scored consecutively against all La Liga teams (record, never been done)
*You said never won something He did win the Spanish Kings cup. (The Copa Del Rey)

On an individual level Messi practically destroyed football in 2012.
He had personal achievements never seen in football till today.


In the history of Ballon dor awards 2012 was the most deserving of any awards in history.


And as for Ronaldo scoring 78 goals in 2013, what was special about the 78 Goals when someone else already had a record 91 goals?

50 league goals a season, no one has achieved that till today.
And 91 goals? Never never.

Then to Suarez, why are you like this? No particular trophy or achievement is considered better than others in awarding Ballon dor.

It's a collective of everything, every trophy, every goal number, rtc
It's a mix of the whole thing.

How could Suarez win 2011 because of Copa America alone when someone else won the;
Champions league
La Liga
Copa del Rey
Super cup
Pichichi
European golden shoe
Total goals per season.

With the number of goals Lewandosky scored, if he had only managed to win the Champions league in 2021 then he would have been placed over Messi as favourite.

The 3 major trophies this year were the Champions league, The Euros and Copa America.

Nobody who won the UCL scored an insane amount of goals.
Nobody who won the Euros scored an insane amount of goals.
But Messi won the Copa America and scored a lot of goals, so he's the favourite.



How could Suarez have won the 2011 Ballon dor?
What are you smoking bro?[/b]

Oh suarez dint deserve to win it ,but he won the copa and copa golden ball . Or than time it was inconsequential...but now it is an important trophy cos messi won it...

So for messi , copa dey rey is not enough...its like wanting to claim balon dor winning the FA cup... in 2019 he won it despite failing in the copa ... no champion league as well but they said he deserved it cos he won league and European golden boot, same thing Lewandowski achieved, so why should Lewandowski not win it.... I'm being logical here .... messi flopped in copa despite Argentina being favorites number 2 after Brazil in 2019... at least Lewandowski scored 3 of the 4 goals his country got in the Euros, besides Poland never had a chance ... so he should not win it cos he plays for Poland and Poland will never have a shot an at international title ... as long as messi deserved 2019 According to u guys, Lewandowski deserves 2021 cos he achieved the same thing messi achieved on 2019

Lewandowski dint do poorly in the champions league... he got injured and missed the game against psg, that was why they were knocked out...now that shows how important he is ... do u know his last game in the champions league was his 18 straight champions league victory... meaning the only time bayern lost was when he dint play... that alone shows how important he us to bayern

Lewandoski won bundesliga player of the season.....messi dint win la liga player of the season ...Lewandowski won European golden boot...why dint tournament matter in 2019 .... messi won it despite flopping at copa 2019

Who cares whether he had injury or not? He is going to be the first player to have injury ni? Should we now pity him because he had injury?

This same Lewandoski didn't even make champions league team of the season. Halland was better than him. So technically he and Messi flopped in champions. All he did was in his league! That's all.

Halland was the one who won the best player of the season not Lewandoski.

Are you kidding?? Who has a better stats in 2019 than Messi?? Who?

Messi's trophies - club domestic cup & national team continental cup

Veratti's trophies - club domestic cup & national team continental cup
Bonucci' trophies - club domestic cup & national team continental cup
Chiesa's trophies - club domestic cup & national team continental cup
Chiellini's trophies - club domestic cup & national team continental cup
Bernadeschi's trophies - club domestic cup & national team continental cup


I ask you again, should we give those 5 players Ballon D'Or too? Just answer Yes or No. No need for long epistle


None of the players you mentioned is the player of the tournament and highest goal scorer.

Since, July, Messi's chance has been boosted towards winning Ballondor. Can you swear that you as a Messi's hater has not used International glory like Copa America to troll Messi?

In fact, no one would be debating it again had it been Messi had a glamorous start to life in France, banging goals like Lewa.

All I see around are pained Ronaldo fans a d sympathizer who detest outright the best of all title for Messi if he wins his 7th
