Just like you Messi fans use to say

Ronaldo teammates let him down

my man dem two don go make we rest

Jokerman:


Ronaldo 1 national team trophy... Messi 0 national team trophy.....

You can as well compare Eder to Messi then . Since he was the one that gave them the trophy

Jokerman:


Ronaldo is not just a goalscorer alone... you this Barcelona fans and your lies... Ronaldo has more career assist than your Xavi, Iniesta and even Ronaldinho....

what did you just say??

No, you didn't stopped Messi. You stopped a disorganized team from winning. If Argentina are very much organized, then you will know you can't stop him. Nigeria defence is better than Argentina defence, very useless team, no passion.

TeamSimple:

You Barcelona fans are just plain evil... throughout the tournament, wetin Eder play... After the tournament Ronaldo won silver ball and golden boot and gave the boot to nani.... Ronaldo practically was Portugal best player at the tournament followed by Nani, with 3 goals and 3 assists, and missed the final when payet injured him....

Now to your comparison, Eder is a way below average player....

Ewedegubbler:
Shut up Mr Deschamps, you didn’t stop Messi, your team isn’t that good. Messi was stopped by a terrible isi Akwu coach called sampaoli.. he managed to take a golden generation of Argentine and turned them into a laughing stock

Seriously that Argentina coach no Sabi...

Imagine not starting Aguero or any striker in a critical match like that, instead he put Messi forward in a striking position....... If not that Messi had to drop deep at times to collect the ball and Orchestrate play, he would have been completely isolated.

I also don't know why he won't use dybala despite his impressive form @juventus. I can recall he only used him once in this tournament as a sub during the Croatia match.

The coach had an array of stars but couldn't find the right mix..

I even read a comment from one of the players where they said he depended too much on Messi. But Unfortunately most teams have found a way to tame Messi

Jokerman:


Ronaldo 1 national team trophy... Messi 0 national team trophy.....

the one he carry for under20s that 1 no be national trophy

Nedukkc:
You stopped messi because his team was useless, because you only had him and di maria to worry about where was kante when messi scored two against Chelsea??

Forget this messi only knows how to carry barca not Argentina, why didn't Ronaldo carry his country yesterday??

Football is team work
A tree doesn't make a forest!

Nedukkc:
what did you just say??

Lol....so you don't even know....

Nedukkc:

Under wetin? ... we dey talk senior, you dey talk under.... imagine your Messi getting to 2 COPA america finals and 1 world cup final, and couldn't win anything.... He should be ashamed bro....

Na so

Messi: 1 goal in 4 matches
Musa: 2 goals in a single match

Best player indeed

Kane should be the best player then since he has 5 goals. All these indomie generations that use goals to judge players.

With all the useless comments I see on Nairaland I think the developers should include button for "Down vote" so that the perpetrators would know that they've actually talked from their añûs.



Lionel Messi remains a great football whether Nigerians agree or not. If it's possible for them, coaches would assign half their players in the pitch just to stop Messi from performing. And yet he makes great influence in every game.

Though he's out of world cup , his bank account fattens everyday and some hoi polloi Nigerians would revel in disdaining him.

what influence did he have in any game during this world cup? This isn't about d size of his bank account. Its not his bank account that plays d football. Messi didn't live up 2d expectation. He made his name in club football but not in international football. Its just football. He has done his best

You are funny to compare Lionel Messi with Ahmed Musa.

You are funny to compare Lionel Messi with Ahmed Musa.

Both Musa and Messi played against the same team, the same keeper, the same month.
Musa had 2 goals, Messi had 1 goal.

Argue with yourself.

What should we use? Corner kicks and offsides?

Since you're not an Indomie generation fan, I expect better reasoning from you. Both players played against the same team, same keeper, same month and one scored more goals than the other.

The earth is covered by 70% water, while the remaining 30% kante covers doesnt exclude messi ....job well don man

What brought Ronaldo into this topic now? You guys are still very pained your goat was useless to Argentina. The greatest of all time should be able to impact much in which ever team he found himself. Messi wouldnt have scored a hat trick against almighty Spain..kpele wailer

wisino1:
I don't think coaches do more tactical drill on their team on how to mark ronaldo because ronaldo is easier to play with.....but if you want to play messi is a whole lot of sleepless night for the technical crew.....so who is your goat ?

I guessed u don't watch Uruguay godin was always with him, d difference is don't allow messi to get the ball n Neva allow Ronaldo to move. Yday whenever CR wanna shoot almost 3 of Uruguayan players will surround him

Jokerman:

yawn.........



Admiring Messi does not make one a barcelona fan. Truth is that I hate the club and I also used to hate Messi but Messi has blown my hatred for him away with his brilliance.


As for the assists. There's no doubt ronaldo is an all time great. Not just as great as Messi. Any real non sentimental football purist/fan/enthusiast will pick Messi over Ronaldo 9 out of 10 times



And ronaldo used to help in setting up attacks like Messi but if you will be honest with yourself you'll know Ronaldo of the past 3 years is just a goalscorer now who hogs the box 18

qreem231:
boasting ke! A part of me was happy we lost to Argentina because the French team would have beaten us blue black and we would have been embarrassed seriously.

na lie. We can defeat france

a guy who scored a hat trick at the Bernabeu can't score hat trick against Spain

imagine the player you're comparing with Messi. A forward well pegged by a central defender.

National team is a different thing from club team. World cup is never EUFA Champions league nor La liga..WORLD CUP is WORLD CUP, apart from Nigeria, Messi has never scored any of the nations that matters, not to talk of Almighty Spain
