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
"Giving someone a run for their money" simply means being competition for them. It entails the individual 'being given a run for their cash' sitting up to improve and not enjoying monopolistic comfort.

So far, that's what CR7 has done at best: ensuring that Messi does not enjoy an undisturbed streak of football dominance. But what the Madrid star is doing is just insufficient. I personally expect him to do more than scoring goals

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 laff at u messi boys... this will b the first time I hv in any platform or radio station or TV station heard people use junior tournaments to accredit a supposed world class player...hv u ever heard about people talking about neymar winning Olympics...no one 4kin cares...win world cup or ur intercontinental cup b4 they are given a chance

Giving someone a run for their money meanings

to compete very well against someone so that it is
hard for them to defeat you

If you say that someone could give someone else a run for their money, you
mean you think they are almost as good as the other person.

to be as good at something as someone who is extremely good

I think those choice of words are not suitable for the message you were tryna pass


Also Ronaldo can't keep playing like he was 18-30 again, he lost some of those qualities and has adapted his game to be smarter. funny enough, he's won a lot more with this style than he did when he was a dribbling, scoring and running machine. Messi has also declined lately and he'll only decline further and further

Then i wonder the TV station you watch and Radio station you listen to. U20 fifa world cup is now nations cup abi...did C. Ronaldo win that too. Didn't he play for the youth team too. You start from the Junior team in football. You hear?. C. 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. If Olympic games and playing for the junior national team wasn't so important, why did c. Ronaldo feature for the junior team and not just jump into the senior team.. Answer me o..

No mind the foolish ronaldo fans. Had ronaldo won that under 20 world cup and also led Portugal to world cup final in 2014, they will use it against messi if messi only won copa America with Argentina. Now the table has turned and euro 2016 is now greater than fifa world cup. Sentimental idiots

You are right. Ronaldo isn't enough competition, so it should've been 'a walk for the money'.

Truth is: Both players have declined, but Ron's decline is too glaring. There is little or no contribution to his team apart from scoring goals. Now goals wins games and trophies, and so the Portuguese is very essential, but only for such limited purpose. So in a case where he isn't getting fed by his providers, what more importance is he on the pitch than a loafer in the market square? I personally think that his providers ( Marcelo, Isco, Modric, Carvajal etc.) are getting too little praises for their efforts. How many times has Ronaldo had to beat a defender to score his goal? Hence the nickname "Tapnaldo".

On the other hand, Messi's pace has dropped considerably. Still he can beat defenders with some magical touches anytime anyday. That is the very definition of a G.O.A.T. Other aspects of his game such as passing and playmaking are still very sharp. Let's not talk about his free kick game(Ronaldo's has completely deserted him), and to crown it all, he still scores as much goals as CR7.

If Ronaldo really insists that his only contribution to football would be to poach goals, no problem. But since that is his specialty, then he should be able to score twice as many goals as Messi could score in a season. For it is unfair to score about the same number of goals as the Argentine while lacking seriously in other aspects that he delivers an adequate performance and still claim to be his equal at the end of the day.
