U Messi fans are so bitter like the Democrats... U love to pull others down because of Messi and that's y Ronaldo fans will never agree with u guys... Just imagine the nonsense u typed , that he was carried by milito and etoo just to justify y Messi that was disgraced by Germany 4.0 in the same world cup deserved it... Messi that cudnt score one goal in 2010 world cup ... Sneider carried Holland to the final scoring 5 goals...his 2 goals against Brazil in the quarter final was effective... He scored the goal that eliminated barca and Messi in the semi final that same yr... U Messi fans are bitter witches
Your comment sound familiar!!

You typed the same thing before Messi was crowned his 6th Ballon d'or!!

He is just too good for you guys to comprehend!!!

Argentina will return to glory days without him....
1994: 2nd round world cup elimination

1998: Quarter final World cup elimination

2002: Group stage elimination

Despite having Bastituta, Ortega, Veron, Crespo, Ayala, Zanetti, Simeone, Redondo etc.

2006: Pekerman didn't feature Messi well

2010: Argentina had a fake Coach

2014: Messi took Argentina to 1st on the FIFA ranking and 2nd in World cup ranking.

Let's see if they will get to their 2014 height again without Messi!!

What a way to appreciate the football GOAT!

Individual award is won by vote, that's why he cant win copa, and wc . And you call him greatest. There is also a lots of record he doesn't have. Football body cant even name him the best player of the century, not his calibre that cant win nothing with national team. NIGERIA UNDER 17 AND 19 have been winning the trophy. Why why senior team no win am. Bros wc is not for small boy. Messi is nothing, cant even win ucl ,nations cup or wc without xavi ,iniesta but they did without him. Since national teams trophies ain't won by votes , the boy no fit win am. He is an insult to ballondior, 6 without nations cup means the award no hold water. We have seen cr7 ein trophies without Paul Scholes,with tony kroos and modric, you thought it's easy to win europa with that Portugal and uefa nations league. Bros go sit down. Since messi becomes senior player what did he win without barca , fiat without nations cup, well I guess you just started watching football not up to 15 years. Even cr7 is better and winning trophies with crap teams. If you say eder , is elder an Argentine. And he wasn't even a starter set and wasn't even the best in the tourney, ronaldinho, figo, zlatan,aimar, a lot of old players cant even call him the best ever, those in the goat status how many of the no win nations not to talk wc. Carry your messi matter go. Just come back here if he wins nations and world cup.... cr7 is better than him with different teams by far
You didn't even mention the Argentine Aiyegbeni that was striking for Argetina??

Messi has been the best in all types competitons he has played for Argentina!!

Player like him or Cruyff will not be reduced by their inability to win a national team Trophy!!

To make the matter worse, Messi had the worst striker in the history of Argetina number 9.

Just compare Bastituta or Crespo with Higuain...

What do you have?? The difference is clear!!!

Ordinary Eder carried a handicapped Cristiano!!!

Higuain should be ashamed of himself!!!

The golden ball Messi won in 2014, wasn't a robbery?
You are talking about Pele that supplied 4 assists in a world cup finals??
Tell us what Messi did to win the golden ball in 2014??
1. Was he the highest goal scorer
2. Was he the top assister
3. Did he score the best goal??
4. Was he in the team of the tournament??
5. Did he have the highest ratings??
6. Did blatter admit his error of giving Messi??


And Ronaldo has been consistent in all list for close to 16 years now... Not only Messi

Yes, Messi has the highest rating in that World cup and highest dribble (3rd highest in the entire history of World cup)

Ronaldo came 6th in 2010 tho!!!
He did not make Top 5 for 14 consecutive Seasons despite starting his career 2 years ahead of Messi , inheriting the best Portugal team in history under the Leadership of Figo!!!

Messi played with Argentine Aiyegbeni, you can't blame him for not having a National team Trophy!!

You are still hiding Pele's under team Trophies.. He played with the best ever teammates in the history of World cup!!!

Maradona is just a one world cup wonder who scored a handball goal and escape red card+ One match ban due to poor officiation by the referee!!
He never played with an Argentine Aiyegbeni!!

His teammates scored 3 goals in the final of the World cup of 1986( Messi was not even born yet)!!

Apart from that World cup(where intentional Handball goal was not punished), Maradona is merely a Napoli's Mahrez with flashy style!!!

Messi is far better than him!!

Maradona will have to be better than Pele before he can become better than Messi!!!
