Take Goals away from cr and messi then you would appreciate the beauty of messi.

How he manages to magnet football to his leg and breeze past players is amazing.

Messi makes football an art, he makes it magic.

Football isn't all about putting ball in a goal, its about the beauty of the sport

Even at this Messi is still a better goal scorer. Check how many games it took both players to score 600 games. It CR7 over 850 games, while it took Messi just over 600 games.

Farmer's League trophy winner
Semi final cameo trophy winner and
Overhyped community shield winner, will not make the top 3 ranking despite being the icon of football marketing!!!

You dey mind the mumu people? Guess they are just reading to their slow understanding. As if there is a place where Mane said Messi deserves it over VVD. Even Mane deserves it 101%, Allison deserves it, they all deserve it!
One zombie above you is already crying that if Messi doesn't win it then the system is rigged...like say na APC and PDP dey in charge of ballon d'or.
Rubbish..make dem carry am go keep for Messi domot na.


Have you guys not Called Fifa pdp before? You criticize decisions if it doesn't favor you. When Messi won the balon d'Or 2010 you guys were screaming Sneijder but when Ronaldo won it 2013 ahead of Riberry you kept quiet hypocrites

Please it's not formal competition read about it . uefa nations league it's a friendly competition for now until it pronounced formal. So it's not a criteria for anything until then so it's out of it don't use it to mislead Ronaldo fans.
And you say this with a straight face? The UEFA Nations league is European Senior men football competition composed of 55 European teams. It was adopted in 2013 and they only fixed it around the time friendly matches would be played in the FIFA calendar as there are no other free spaces to fix it. It doesn't make it a friendly competition. It only replaced the international friendly on the calendar and it is not played annually, but once in two years. You don't play friendly that way.

2010 was obviously rigged. Journalists voted Sneidjer but Platini felt Messi deserved it even after Sneidjer's team edged Messi's in the Champions League.

Platini had always had a soft spot for Messi. The below is from Marca.
I know. My problem was that you were acting like you did not know the system is rigged.
...If messi is deny this year world best player just know the entire system is rigged

MY LIST OF BALLOON D'OR WINNERS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES ALONE.

2008 : Ronaldo
2009 : Messi
2010 : Messi
2011 : Messi
2012 : Messi
2013 : Ronaldo
2014 : Ronaldo
2015 : Messi
2016 : Ronaldo
2017 : Ronaldo
2018 : Messi
2019 : Messi

Though I am a Ronaldo fan but Messi outperformed everyone last season. He took his football level and technique so high this season. Unfortunately, he didn't win much.

Uefa nations league replaced international friendly matches no be me talk am ask and uefa, so stop using it to judge. Messi got to the semi final in Copa America and semi final in UCL Ronaldo didn't make it that far and scored less goals. This how you guys add fake Stats and when the award is giving to Messi you'll say it's ojoro Mpape is a better performer than Ronaldo last season.

Do you have comprehension issues? The NATION LEAGUE REPLACES FRIENDLY MATCHES IN FIFA's CALENDAR BECAUSE THERE ARE NO OTHER AVAILABLE SLOTS FOR THE TOURNAMENT. I MENTIONED THIS BEFORE!

THE ONLY AVAILABLE SLOT ON FIFA'S CALENDAR IS FOR FRIENDLY MATCHES. FIFA ONLY FIXED THE NATION'S LEAGUE WHERE FRIENDLY MATCH SLOTS IS.

It it why it REPLACED friendly matches in FIFA'S CALENDAR. Other continents will play still play their friendlies but the same cannot be said for European teams. IT IS NOT A FRIENDLY MATCH TOURNAMENT.

Dont say that.. Though he is not due for the Ballon d'or but Van Dijk is a single defender that can stop 3 strikers.

Vidic had the backing of reliable Ferdinand then.. In Dirk's case, he can pair with any defender and still performs

You lack comprehension issues even Portugal that won the uefa nations league is not guaranteed a place in the euro 2020. They're are only guaranteed as the defending champion of the the Euro.

Please don't quote me again. A competition you rate high that doesn't guarantee the winner a place in top competition is useless. It might change over time but for now it remains the same.

If you win FA cup as a championship team you get promoted to be EPL that's a Formal competition. If you win world cup, euro , Copa America, UCL or your league automatically you're given a slot in the next competition that's how you identify a formal competition. No benefits is attached to Uefa Nations league for now Google and read comprehensively before you quote me.

Now I get you are demented. The Euro tourney is independent just as the Nation's League is independent. This is about the first time any continent would have two tourneys other than their main. You claim there is no automatic qualification into the Euro tourney for winning the Nation's League. Was there any any point I mentioned this? You used the FA and EPL as your case study which clearly shows you are out of touch with this subject matter, perhaps there is an automatic qualification into the World for winning a continental tournament. Your cluessless is dumbfounding!

What are the benefits of Copa America or the Euro? Does it guarantee you an automatic spot into the World Cup? The DEFENDING CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD CUP NO LONGER GETS AUTOMATIC QUALIFICATION AND YOU ARE BLEATING THIS RUBBISH with all arrogance and Stupidity. Should we then argue that the World Cup is a World Friendly tournament?

Club World Cup isn't counted. Let's face it most of these tourneys are weightier than others. While they are all national tourneys, the quality in the aren't the same, going by the teams' coefficients. The UEFA Nations League is an European tourney while the Copa is South America's. Both are on a different level, way higher than the AFCON. You only get to see one or two players plying their trade in top football teams from around the world in the latter while the formers boast star-studded sides.

Why the CWC doesn't count is because it is a congregation of World Champions and it is mostly won by the European team who wins the UCL due to their quality. It has been like that from day one and it hasn't changed.

by club football l mean various leagues & cup competitions clubs compete in. as for CWC, it's not counted because players, coaches & journalists have already voted before the tournament begins every December not this flimsy reason u gave here.

You're too dumb OK. Winners of Copa America, Euro, Africa Nations cup and winners of all the continental cups including the world cup winner takes part in Confederations cup isn't it dumb azz?

Winner of the UCL takes part in the world club cup competition amongst the rest winners in the Continental league cup winners isn't it dumb azz?

Even a divisional team that wins FA cup gets promoted to the top division that's how you know a Formal competition.

Winning the Uefa nations league guarantees you nothing for now it's an empty tournament no difference From a friendly match. Ronaldo fans are real goat that's why they keep on comparing Messi and Ronaldo when the difference is clear.

Point out one benefits of winning the uefa nations league?
Uefa nations league is just like pre season we've so many tournament like Emirates cup , Audi cup, Guamper cup etc...


No doubt uefa might upgrade Uefa nations league later to make profits but for now it's a friendly competition get that inside your Ororo skull.
