What has he won that CR7 hasn't won? Has he even won any international honours for his country at the senior level?

messi olympic gold, fifa u21 world cup, 6 trophies in a season, 3 ballon d'or in a row.Fifa golden ball.Ronaldo has none of the above. . La Pulga is the father of the portuguese cry baby.

hopefulLandlord:


getting to a world cup final is no achievement

only a few people would remember who came second

but winning euros puts you in history books

tell me who played 1972 WC final? I'm sure you need to google it and even then need to search a bit deep to know

There was no WC in 1972. Tell me who won the 1984 euro cup. I'm sure you need to google it and even then need to search a bit deep to know.

You are no different from the 'average nairalander' afterall.

MESSI IS BETTER THAN CR7 ANY DAY ANY TIME. ......JUST BECAUSE HE IS STRUGGLE TO CLOSE THE GAP PEOPLE SAY CR7 IS BETTER BUT NOT BETTER THAN GOD OF SOCCER LIONEL ANDRES MESSI

Saintabey:
I give it to Christiano Ronaldo. In FCB, Messi has almighty players to play with. CR7 is d engine room in Real Madrid. In their country, CR7 was able to act as a coach/mentor to help his mates. Messi lacks leadership quality.

Abi na see Messi playing with the Almighty Roberto,Alba,Pique,Busquet,Rakitic etc, while CR is playing with shitty, uber useless players like Ramos, Marcelo ,Pepe ,Modric and Kroos etc, and the most expensive squad in football history, they are just expensive for nothing, Useless players.

No wonder since CR arrived that very easy league called la liga, he has won only one Liga title whereas Messi has won five.

We all saw how CR won the UCL and league with Sporting, and how Man u crashed after CR left them, Man u making the CL final 2011, one season after he left, shows that Man u without CR was a very shitty team.

If you are a coach just ask yourself would you rather have a player who can score screamers..refuse to celebrate with teammates when he hasn't scored and cannot perform when the team is down or one that give penalty kicks to teammates even though he is 1 goal away from an hat -trick....can control the pthe pace of the game..& that turn offensive teams to defensive ones just to contain him..You only have to watch these matches to have your answer..

1)Barcelona 2 vs 0 man utd (2009 UCL final)

2)Barcelona 3 vs 1 man utd(2011 UCL final)

3)Barcelona 5 vs 0 real madrid(2010 la liga)

4)Real madrid 0 vs 2 barcelona (2011 Ucl semi-final 1st leg).

And search on google for an article titled.."LIONEL MESSI IS IMPOSSIBLE".

Only Madrid, man utd, Portuguese and some Chelsea fans cum Barca haters will say Ronaldo is any where close to Messi. The rest of the unbias world who are largely neutrals know Messi is miles better than Ronaldo.

In all honesty these two should not even be compared.
Messi is mentioned alongside maradonna, Pele while Ronaldo should be compared with the likes of Neymar, Suarez etc no offence

most football pundits and living legends normally pick Messi ahead of ronaldo..even legends from portugal like Figo and riu costa

So I don't know what the argument is all about. They know more about the game than we do.

Some legends say Messi is out of this world while ronaldo is the king of the world.

Football is a funny game atimes... You will walk up to a viewing centre, you see a grown up man sweating were he'is arguing on one thing or the other about football. And i find out that what they argue most is about messi and Ronaldo who is a better player... Ronaldo fans will go for their man while messi fans will go for messi... There are even funny name they call each player... Like "Penaldo" or "Messhit, Messy " So i decided to bring the arguement here



To you..who is the better player among the two ... Hit like For Ronaldo And Share for Messi

what's with you hmm ? Of all topics, you had to create this controversial one right? Do you know how many people are dead and their killers' in jail because of this topic from hell...huh?

shamecurls:
Am more of a believer of a man that has proven himself across different terrains than a man who ONLY has proven himself in a single terrain

He has travelled more to other terrains and disgraced their best teams. Man U,Man city, Arsenal, Bayern, Ac Milan, PSG just name

Ronaldo is good but he can't even lace Messi's boot not to talk of being as good as King Messi .

It's really a subjective argument that has been done to death for which there is no universally agreed answer.There will always be divided opinions.Ronald is aerialy fantastic,packs a powerful dual legged shots and in my opinion has the bigger heart to defy critics.Messi on the othe hand is the better dribbler and is more aesthetically easy on the eye.Both have won numerous personal and team accolades.But one argument that is hugely asinine is when some claim Messi can't hack it in the EPL.This is the same guy that has regularly demolished "top" EPL sides in the Champs League.If Messi can do that to the EPL top dogs;is doing same against lower rung sides really unexpected? Who os better is purely your choice.Choose....

oh shit! I wanted to type 1982

ouch!

the point is that all you need to search a bit deeper to find second placed team in competitions while winners are more readily available

Ronaldo is good joor...Make una free him joor[color=#990000][/color]

Exactly... Ronaldo=good... Messi=god

One day, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will retire and normalcy will come back to football. Then, records will stay for years and not get shuffled around every week.
Hat-tricks will again become the highlight of a player's season and not an expectation on every match.
A half century goals in a single season will be something to tell the grand-kids about and not just another seasonal target to be met.
The Ballon D'or would become a FIFA prize again, rather than the personal property of two men.
Until that day, guys, let's stop comparing and enjoy the show whilst it lasts..

Let messi come.and try other leagues and know say Rinaldo na im papa,pogba and IBRA are singing a new song now cos they are playing in a strange land.

can You advise Your brother who lives in lekki to move to Mushin just to test how rugged he's? that's a backwards And foolish sentiments... You mean messi has to leave to Another league/club before You can acknowledge his greatness? that means The likes of Pele, Pablo maldini, John Terry, Ryan giggs, Alan shearer, Franco toti, Paul schole, ferdinard, puyol, buffon and other great players that never left their respective clubs are not great anymore right? bro there's no law That says a player must leave his club...use youtube And download interviews of football stakeholders such as Wenger, sir Alex, mourinho, ronney, zlatan etc about messi And cr7 and See who they picked as The better player....at least they no more than You That is Being clouded with sentiments here. one last thing, go read And See how they compare messi with all time greats such Pele, Johan cruff, maradona, di stefano Why they compare cr7 with messi..guess You no What That means. then finally use the stat and figures that don't lie to compare them And get Your Answer And stop Being sentimental

zlatan said messi is a pure genius Why Ronaldo is a product of hardwork, even cr7 former teammate rooney When asked who's better he said messi, wenger That one no dey waste time to call messi When ask who's The best player, sir Alex Ferguson said messi, etc these re people that Have seen it all talking. I understand messi hatred from anti-messi fans, one said in my neighbourhood That na wa o is it only messi That they did world best for? That he's just too Good...he said also That those 3 times cr7 has won fifa world best award That messi is always injured in those seasons which is true. then until cr7 equal messi record of Being The only player in history to Have attended 9 straight gala night of world player award Night Since kaka won it. messi has never carried third. First 5times, second 4times ... messi is cr7 yardstick Why messi is in category of all time greats Why still active for That Matter. Ronaldo is a self glory hunter, Why messi is a team player...all these attributes make a player great not someone who don't care about his teammates shining...imagine cr7 was angry Because carajal score a goal he was positioned to score. Because of That he didn't celebrate with others, is That a great attributes?

sense!

Having more fans doesnt make a player better than the other on the pitch... Ronaldo is better looking than messi, better physique, better facial.. so i expect all the NL gays and ladies who doesnt know sh!t about football to vote him ignorantly. Messi has 5 ballond d ore awards to his name... Ronaldo has only 2 abi 3. For yall who doesnt know the meaning of ballon d ore... Its the highest player of the year award in football... No other player has up to 5 ballon d ore award in the history of football... How can Ronaldo be better than Messi? I respect Ronaldo he works hard to be where he is... But you cant compare sweat to pure talent...

H2Ossss:


Lol... Its autocorrect... Same with my phone.... I remember messi face when he won MVP at d world cup... He knew he wasn't even d 20th best player... But hey... Blatter must give him

lol..bro if your favoured,yur favoured.. It is what it is..

2)Barcelona 3 vs 1 man utd(2011 UCL final)

3)Barcelona 5 vs 0 real madrid(2010 la liga)

4)Real madrid 0 vs 2 barcelona (2011 Ucl semi-final 1st leg).

And search on google for an article titled.."LIONEL MESSI IS IMPOSSIBLE".

I see you bro... Sometimes i just dont get it why people compare these two players... Ronaldo struggles to impress, meanwhile Messi flows naturally.

foladara777:
See... There's no contest, Messi is better and it's not even close... He scores with higher frequency, assists at a higher rate, dribbles with greater regularit, has won a higher number of trophies... Every single stat that actually matters point to Messi's superiority, so...

God bless you.

your logic is flawed... Ronaldo joined madrid cos he knew thats the pace he can be... Why would messi leave Barcelona when he equally knows its the best place he can also be?

you have said it all...

Why compare them ?

riczy:
c argument very dead! Don't Ronaldo has same or u don't watch football?

Wtf are you talking about?

lol. i have nothing to argue with you bcs you know no fact

Of course you don't. Because we all know it's the truth.

Guy it's like you haven't seen Messi play against English opponents. He totally destroys them.
Just so you know, Ibra is currently one of the highest scorers in EPL while Pogba even with his inconsistency has outperformed almost all EPL midfielders. Check your stats before you write anything online.

Messi is better than C ronaldo...thank For stats ..if stats doesn't count. Ronaldo can't be compared with Messi at all

The only thing I can testify that penaldo has better than messi is donation heart!
