mama-gee:

Cristiano ronaldo!!!

Remove Xavi and Iniesta from Barcelona and it'll be Argentina all over again for messi. . .

But without messi,xavi and iniesta would be nobody today!

baby-boy:

I Pick Messi every day of the week,  CR7 is in the comfort zone at both United and Madrid,  actually at United the team worked for him! Messi for Argentina is a different case because he didnt grow up in Argentina and they had a looney as a manager! its not like CR7 is pulling out trees for Portugal. He does more rolling on the ground than playing football,  Messi is a team player.


Messi was in the team when both Xavi and Iniesta were on the bench in 2006!!! I believe they had Deco, Edmilson and Thiago in the midfield then

dademola:

CR7 in d comfort zone?? Wot den cld b sed about messi @ barca?? CR7 has performed betta dan messi in dia respective national teams. Yeah, xavi and iniesta were on d bench in 2006, bt brova, can u compare d barcelona of dt time to d present one?? Was it d same slicky passing game dey played den?? Did dey tear teams apart as dey are doin presntly?? Did messi score so many goals and create so many assists as he is doing presntly?? And most impotantly: DID HE RECIEVE SO MUCH ACCOLADES AS HE'S RECIEVING PRESENTLY Tsnt a coincidence o!! D most imprtant plyrs @ barc are xavi and iniesta, period!!!dey played den?? Did dey tear teams apart as dey are doin presntly?? Did messi score so many goals and create so many assists as he is doing presntly?? And most impotantly: DID HE RECIEVE SO MUCH ACCOLADES AS HE'S RECIEVING PRESENTLY Tsnt a coincidence o!! D most imprtant plyrs @ barc are xavi and iniesta, period!!!

dabraska:

nw, take a look at wat u hv sed! r u convinced dat u've made sense wif dis? i am rily tired of all dese talks about a player whose nt performing! look at dat team u call 'Argentina'.
dat team lacks creativity on evry syd, does 1 man make a team,
for a player to b used to a team's playin style and its not clicking in his country, does dat make him less of a gud player.

d ronaldo u r even shouting, has he won a world cup b4 irrespective of d tym??, Messi won U-20 world cup in 2005, so wat achievements does ronaldo have in his country beta dan messi?

in dis Copa America, its nt a new tin dat south American teams always give d top countries (brazil, Argentina, Uruguay etc) tough tym. so hw can u use d copa america to judge??

wen Argentina won their only match in Copa America, 3-0, messi created 7 chances on goal. the highest dat has ever been created by any single player in Copa America history.

dont hate d player, hate d game, he is a football god and nobody can perform at his rate right now.

and u r even comparing ronaldo to him, r dey agemates? how many tyms did Messi outshine Ronaldo wen dey met?

he is d best on d planet at the moment, Ronaldo even knows dat himself!

He failed in d last 2 worldcups

baby-boy:


In the last 2 world cups Argentina were managed by 2 different loony

The 2006 WC: Messi was just promoted from the under 20 team to the national team managed by Pekerman who is normally blinded by his ego, Argentina battered Germany and were in cruise control decided to take off Riquelme! who was the star of the team, Germany got a grip of the game, equalised and the rest is history.

The 2010 WC: The was managed by Maradona who had no idea on how to manage a local pub let alone a school team, chopping and changing even brought back Martin Palermo from the wilderness, had no strategy, no plan, dropped Javier Zenetti dropped Riquelme and brought in Veron!!!

Majority of the Goals Argentina scored at the world cup were set up by Messi!!!

Go and look at the 2007 Copa America and see Messi's performance

who cares bout d tactical deficiencies of d 2 gaffers mentioned above?? so, frm wot u're sayin, d two coaches are d cause of messi's predicament?? Hehehehehehhehehhee!!! Joke of d century!! Very funny!! In terms of tactical faults,in 2006, was d french team tactically sound?? Inspite dat fact,Didnt zidane still stand out??there are times a team fails to perform, bt d contributions of certain plyrs are still recognised. Lionel messi has failed to establish himself on d international scene, period!! Scoring so many goals for barca, hw many has he scored for argentina?? Hw many assists has he created for d national team?? At d last worldcup, kld uruguay be classified as a tactically sound team?? Despite dat,Didnt forlan shine?? If messi is truely d god u pple say he is, he shld b able to single-handedly turn around argentina's poor fortunes.

Answer these questions


How did

Maradona perform at the 1982 world cup

Zidane and Thierry Henry perform at the 2002 world cup

Van Basten and Ruud Gullit perform at the 1990 world cup

David Beckham perform at the 2002 world cup

Ronaldinho perform at the 2006 world cup

wit d exception of beckam, d above listed plyrs hav achieved success and hav won trophies wit dia respective national teams.messi has failed to do so, so d criticism and scrutiny continues. Probably, if he proves himself @ anoda club,such criticism may stop bt for now, watch dis space!!!!!

baby-boy:


Tell me what did Maradona win before the 1982 WC?

dademola:

try to reaon a lil deeper, bro! Wen eto was @ mallorca, didnt he score so many goals there?? Hw many plyrs do u knw there? Wasnt it a team dt was alws fightin relegation?? Being able to adjust to diffrent scenarios is an important hallmark of a great plyr. He failed in d last 2 worldcups. He has failed again. If he's your god dt u worship,i wish u luck!! Pls dnt gt me wrong, he's a superb plyr, bt he's over-hyped!! Ronaldo also has shortcomings and deficiencies bt he'd tell u he has being tried and tested @ united and madrid

dademola:

pls dnt even tow dat line!! Yeah, maradona's first worldcup in 1982 was disastrous, bt wot happened in1986?? Messi's first worldcup was in 2006, wot happened again in 2010?? Pls dnt even compare d 2 of dem as regardin successess wit d national teams

dabraska:

how many players have shone in d world cup in dis new generation of football, at d age of 24?? Answer dat or forever hold your peace

dabraska:

is messi a striker?? if he was a striker and failed to score, missing chances anyhow, dat will b a different case! u cant compare him to eto! dey r plenty strikers dat score regularly 4 low clubs. Wen Luca Toni scored almost 40 goals 4 fiorentina, did dat make him do d same 4 Italy given he is even a striker?

dademola:

hehehehehhe!!! Wen u say new generation, i wanna believe u're refering to d last 15yrs. If i say i wanna start typing wot i knw about a certain wonder boi, who at d age of 21,  ma thumbs wld hurt me a great deal.pls does d name RONALDO De LIMA ring a bell?? I'd b here waitin for u sir!!! 

dademola:

dat is exactly ma point, brova. Y didnt dos strikers complain of lack of quality wingers or playmakers U say messi isnt a striker. Kk. Is alexis sanchez a striker?? Hw many plyrs do u knw at udinese?? Wen riquelme was runnin d show @ villareal, was he a striker?? Was villareal a heavy-weight in europe @ dt time?? Chei!!! Xavi and iniesta, may d gud lord bless your souls!!

dabraska:

u argue futball wifout putting into consideration, d tactics involved in it! Alexis sanchez, performing well at udinese dosent hv evrytin solely 2 do wif him alone. u dnt knw if d tactics of d team fits him perfectly. y do top players flop? is it bcus dey r not gud? hell NO! its cus dey dnt blend wif the playin style of their new team! Argentina is used to individual gamestyle whichis completely different 4rm barca's gamestyle. Only him alone cant change dat.

my point is dis, Barcelona has a gamestyle dat messi is very used to! He mite not hv perform up to expectation in Argentina but wif tym, he'll blend. he's jst 24

tactics or no tactics, dis plyrs stand out. Messi has failed to do so for his country, period!! Hw can u align urself to a particular style of play?? Maybe fifa shld start allowing national teams to buy plyrs frm one-anoda, so dt xavi and iniesta can transfer to argentina so dt messi can perform and win national honors!!! D worldcup and copa hold every 4yrs, so time aint on his side!!!!

tactics or no tactics, dis plyrs stand out
