Oga, At 17 C Ronaldo Was Already A Senior Team Player For Potugal, So He Didnt Need To Play Age Grade Compitision, Gerrit?

You must be kidding me. So na C. Ronaldo younger brother play for the Portuguese U15, U17, U20, U21 and U23 national team. You better get your facts right before typing.....Before you argue blindly again. Read below

A Portuguese international, Ronaldo began his youth career in 2001. Apart from the under-15 team, he also represented the under-17, under-20, under-21, and under-23 national sides, amassing 34 youth caps and scoring 18 goals overall. He represented his country at the 2002 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship, where they failed to progress past the group stage. Ronaldo also featured in the Olympic squad at the 2004 Summer Olympics, scoring one goal in the tournament, though the team was eliminated in the first round, finishing bottom of their group with three points after 4–2 defeats to eventual semi-finalists Iraq and quarter-finalists Costa Rica.

Lol! What does she think she knows about soccer? If she wants Messi to win it, it would have made more sense to advice the whole Argentina' squad not just on obscure individual who's also a midget. undecided

Every team that ever won the World Cup did so due to their cooperative qualities not individual quality.

Wait make naija catch Messi first

You can't compare media influence in the last decade with what it is today. Besides, Dinho and Delima were heads and shoulders above everyone else then. On the other hand, Ronaldo is clearly giving Messi a run for his money, but his feat on the pitch is not enough to draw a comparison with the South American.
So Ronaldo is clearly Giving Messi a run for his money but Ron's feat on the pitch isn't enough to draw comparison to the Argentine?

you've just contradicted yourself sir unless you're saying there are things Ronaldo does off field to warrant it

Is George Weah a great player??. He won all the awards that soccer had to offer: FIFA player of the year, African footballer of the year, 1989, 1994, 1995; African player of the century, 1996. And he also became the first African footballer to win the Ballon d’Or award in 1995.
As successful as he was at club level, Weah was not able to bring over that success to the Liberia national team. Is George Weah a great player or not?

All u messi fans are so biased ...will u compare a player that played for Liberia to the other that plays for Argentina?? Argentina has always been world cup favorites whenever they compete, they are the second most reputable team in south America after Brazil...u wanna use them to compare Liberia...the reason y people are hitting on messi is cos he plays for one of the biggest and most reputable team in international football and yet he still can't take them to glory just like Barca...but the Barca team without him made majority of the team that won the world cup and the euros back to back...does that not ring a bell?? It simply means he can't reciprocate club level to international just like ronaldo has done for Portugal...he can't even win their continental cup...messi has never played the confederation cup like other great players and u wanna compare him with the great lakes...messi is only as good as Alfredo do Stefano that won everything in club football( 5 straight champions league title and highest goal scorer in champions league history until Raul broke it almost 50 yrs later) but he cudnt reciprocate that same level to national with the same Argentina...

Sentiments aside... it's kinda wrong to compare Ronaldo and Messi: the latter is far better than the former.

CR7 depends on his teammates to clinch some glory. The Portuguese is seriously indebted to other players who have supplied him with assists to bag the goals from time to time, from the time of visionary Ozil at Madrid to the present era relentless Modric et al. Don't forget the efforts of Marcelo and Carvajal too. Stifle his suppliers(which is very difficult given their brilliance and ability to outmaneuver from tight spaces) and you'd see an ineffectual CR7.

Messi, on the other hand, is supplier as well as recipient. Where he is not scoring goals, he's laying them on a platter of gold for others. Despite a loss in pace, he's still one of the best dribblers around, and his whole ball game is furnished with alacrity and purpose.

I don't intend to take anything off Ronaldo's scoring technique and off-the-ball movement...both are legendary, to say the least. Nevertheless, soccer fans won't mind seeing him do more than just score tap-ins and penalties. He has fed off other's efforts for some time now. Let him feed others as well continue to be in mad scoring form. Then he can claim he's Messi's equal. It'd be more fantastic if he bring back those tricks he used to beat defenders back then at Man. united.

In conclusion, The Messi-Ronaldo rivalry was created by the European media who would not endure the sight of a South American being better than their own. Thus they hyped the latter up to make it seem like he's the South-American equal. But even some of them e.g. Gary Lineker etc. don't agree with this conspiracy. If Messi was a European, the difference would have been made clear a long time ago. No matter Shevchenko's scoring madness those years, it was a football sin to compare him with Zidane. Of course both were Europeans

Who are you?? are you chimamanda sibling....Your article should be published..well articulated, organized, amazing. Your facts are amazing. I give it to you..Your writing skills is just wow

Even the Olympic games he won with the national team and fifa U20 world cup he won with the U20 national team. Did C. Ronaldo win any of these?. You C. Ronaldo fans should stop being biased. Messi has achievements and honour C. Ronaldo can never have and vice versa so you people should stop comparing. Messi Is a great player same as C. Ronaldo.

I feel sorry for people like you. Have you read his stats? Do you know that messi is always chasing cr7 in every records department? U people always say tap ins like its easy why haven't others tapped in the 500+ goals he has tapped in? Maybe u started watching football 2 years ago when cr7 hit 30. Go back to the 2009 -2014 period and see the quality of his goals. Look messi is more gifted with the ball but cr7 is also a phenomenal player on a par but a different style. When u mention G.O.A.T.'s he is up there with Pele, Maradonna, as well as his current arch rival Messi. Don't compare. Enjoy as we may not see two such magnificence in our era. Ciao
Excuses, excuses and more excuses. The only time I ever enjoyed watching cr7 was during his short spell at Manchester United. He could do things with the ball and not goal hang in the box waiting for tapins, that is quite boring and I don't know of anyone except pathetic fan boys who enjoy that.
For Ronaldo watching the highlight of the match is enough as without the goals he is pretty much useless on the pitch but for you to enjoy Messi you have the watch the full match and marvel at the amount of sheer brilliance he exudes on the pitch, with his bird eye vision, sublime dribbling and the way he controls the match.
No one enjoys watching cr7 for a 90min match dear grin
I repeat Ronaldo is a prolific gaol scorer and should be compared with other prolific goalscorers in history. That is it.
