olisaEze: Thanks for the compliment. It's really appreciated. However, I think you are being too harsh on Messi about his international exploits. He scored 9 goals in total at the World cup 2014 and Copa 2016 tournaments and was awarded the best player of the tournament at both competitions. That does not sound like a record of someone who does not perform for his national team, especially when you consider that his great rival has never won any individual best tournament player award which is a testament that the rival's relative success at the national front is more of collective effort (Eder comes to mind) than individual. At the INDIVIDUAL level, even at the national front, I can argue that Messi has been a better national team player than CR7 because he won two or three best player awards, which also demonstrates consistency, while CR7 has none. He took his team to the World cup final, although didn't win it. Doesn't mean he's a failure. I would suppose you wouldn't say Roberto Baggio is an Italian failure for failing to win USA 94, despite his very good performance at the Mundial. And yes you are right, from 2013 there was a drop in intelligence level of Argentinian players around Messi (Higuaín, Lavezzi, & co), hence he had to labour more and more. It is sad, that the best period for Messi with Argentina should have been from 2009 - 2013, but those years were wasted for Messi in a way I cannot understand cos he had the sheer ability to bend matches to his will during this period. Take for instance World Cup 2010, Messi could have had 5 goals from his efforts, but was incredibly unlucky, other than against Germany when it all came crumbling apart. I hope I've put in a bit of perspective,because Messi is often judged too harshly. Don't just jump on the bandwagon often bandied around by your fellow fans about Messi's international career. 2 Likes |

Dayodragon: You didn't understand my question or are you just slow?How is Cristiano Ronaldo more successful than Lionel Messi? Going to another club and remaining in top form doesn't make him more successful. |

ThierryJay: Nicely said, thanks for not replying rudely as most NLders r often known to do. Messi in my opinion is an incredibly talented individual, however Ronaldo is an embodiment of ceaseless hardwork. Although he might not necessarily be d team player Messi is, but is an example of how sheer determination & willpower can take u to the heights of whatever u set ur mind to accomplish. However, I see ur point and respect ur view. Thanks 2 Likes |

eni4real:Below is the link to show Higuain's statistics. https://www.transfermarkt.com/gonzalo-higuain Higuain isn't a dumb striker. Messi & Argentina were just not good enough. Even Nigeria no dey blame Yakubu Aiyegbeni. I believe Higuain's was the one that entered Messi like spirit & made him loose a penalty in the Copa America finals of 2016. You give baseless reasons to justify Messi. With due respect to Messi. People like you ll keep tarnishing his legacy if you guys use him to belittle others. Not only CR7 but other world greats of his generation. It's pure malice & hatred for you to belittle CR7 & keep screaming about how he won the 2013 FIFA player of the year award. |

darediamond: I'm sorry, that was what came to my mind because he sounded lost, immature and unintelligent. So disappointing when we were talking about messing and he jumped in by talking about Ronaldo... How on earth can we try to display an opposite character of how the world see us? |
Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Nobody: 9:04pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
OkikiOluwa1:Higuain statistics?? Do you know the meaning of a striker at all?? I am sure you didn't watch those matches at all!! Higuain should do the Playmaking duty that Messi combine with scoring then you can compare!! Someone is winning best players of all types of tournaments he has played for Argentina, but you are here comparing him with an Argentine Aiyegbeni.... How many Golden boot has he won in his careerfor club and country?? He is the real flop of the team.. You talk about 2016 penalty shoot out?? Tell me, what happened in 2015 Penalty shootout?? What is the difference between Copa America 2016 final penalty shoot and 2008 UCL Final penalty shootouts?? |
Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Dayodragon: 9:11pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
eni4real: I thought I was arguing with a reasonable pesin not knowing is just a thing.. So tell us how modric deserved 2018 balondor and ronaldo doesn't? And why messi deserves 2019 balondor, vvd doesn't... if your not an slowpoke with your reasoning.. who doesn't know Ronaldo was robbed in 2018, what did messi achieve individually in 2019 ronaldo didn't do x2 in 2018.. plz stop making fool of yourself.. You slowpoke talk about eder in euro 2016, how many goals did he score throughout d tournament... even Ronaldo finished as the 2nd highest goal scorer and 2nd most assist in same competition.. So you wanna tell us Gotze who scored winning goals in d world cup finals was better better than his teammates throughout d tournament.. can you even imagine the level of your illiteracy... 4k off.... |

So pele is regarded as the best player in football history because he won balondor and golden boots more than anyone else?? do you even know the level of your stpdity.. So winning d most controversial football best player in the world cup tournament was d best thing to give to Argentines.. I can't stop laughing.. Let me make it clear to you... Argentina is a disgrace in messi's era.. take it or leave it. Same way it would have happened to barca by not having xavi and Iniesta, I hope your overrated player wins an international honour again with out the duo... You think it's d routine laliga you rob games to win each season.. after youe clear robberies against PSG 1-6 UEFA CAN'T TAKE THE SHAME IN FAVOURING BARCA.. AND THEY STOPPED.. SO WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THEM TO DAY WITH YOUR DWARF AS CAPTAIN..LOL |

eni4real: You think it's all about playing against eiber,malloca and other FEEDER TEAMS IN SPAIN.. Let him leave Spain.. same farmers league Ronaldo visited and netted more goals than his apps with 131 assists, who does better And he left with two goals against BARCA in super cup finals which he came of the bench and sent your dwarf home... lol.. |

Dayodragon:Modric outclassed Cristiano by winning the World cup Golden ball!! Cristiano should win the World cup Golden ball and world best Playmaker first, then you can compare him with Modric in 2018!! Remember, Modric vote is larger than Messi and Cristiano votes combined in 2018 Ballon d'or!!! Modric proved himself outside the wall of Madrid, Cristiano could only score against a Coachless Spain And that is Cristiano best World cup?? Even Cavani is better in the same tournament |

eni4real: So they weren't playing football Then?? How do you feel if another in the next generation says becuase they never witnessed messi and ronaldos era, for that their generation is better.. Why not tell FIFA who keep records they are senseless.. or why don't you alter their records by yourself. Same south America teams who were overrated are yet to replicate the little form the had in this modern era.. When last did south America team win world cup?? Same Europe team beat your 5x world cup winners 7-1 Brazil Argenina 0- 4 Germany. So what's your lame point all about?? |
Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Nobody: 9:41pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
Dayodragon:Is it not the same 1950's when a player scored 13goals in a single World cup?? Take your pre-competitive era away from here |
Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Dayodragon: 9:41pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
eni4real: So winning balondor makes you a better player... imagine nonsense.. what do you have to say to zlatan plz stop spewing nonsense |
Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Dayodragon: 9:45pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
eni4real: You must be very silly... That happened in 2001.. And never in Pele's era.. I hope you can see how you have tried so hard to prove yourself wrong... And it never end there.. d man holding most goals in the national team today also scored 11 goals in one match in 2002.. so what's your lame point all about |
Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Nobody: 9:50pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
Dayodragon: "Ballon d'or is the Nobel prize of Footballers"- Cristiano Ronaldo in 2019!! "I deserve more Ballon d'or than Messi"- Cristiano Ronaldo in 2019 (After winning his 5th Ballon d'or). "I am the best player in history" - Cristiano Ronaldo in 2017 (After Messi won his 4th consecutive Ballon d'or), " I want to be like Messi, I hope I can win as many Ballon d'ors" -. Cristiano Ronaldo in 2013 (After winning his 2nd Ballon d'or in 2013), Cristiano was crying like a baby on the stage!!! If Cristiano says Ballon d'or determine the best player in the world, who are you to disagree?? |
Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Dayodragon: 9:50pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
eni4real: I'm glad your still laughing at yourseld becuase your obviously wrong.. Iniesta only left barca at 2018,but messi was handed such role as the 2nd captain in 2014/2015 after UCL finals which saw xavi left at the end of the season.. And Iniesta was never a full-time player barca back becusse of injuries.. which made messi handling arm band more often than Inieeta before he finally left |
Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Nobody: 9:53pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
Dayodragon:You are a confused Liar!!! Iniesta played in the 2018 World cup!!! How come he was unfit since 2015?? (Modric has really broken you Cristiano fanbase down... You are now manufacturing lies just to malign the GOAT of the Ballon d'ors ) Iniesta has always been the Captain of the Barcelona team.. Watch the match against Chelsea in 2018 again... |
Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Dayodragon: 9:54pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
eni4real: So was that why ronaldo was denied 2018 he obviously deserve in order not stay ahead of messi... lol... right now... Another balondor was denied against VVD... to make him stay ahead of ronaldo... silly fans of yours are ranting all over d net he's better... So why was there no justice in 2018 but it was in 2019 If that's the case.. it means kaka, canavaro etc who won balondor by not being highest goal scorer but just their effort wouldn't have won it then... is that what you mean |
Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Dayodragon: 9:55pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
eni4real: I can see obviously you have English understanding deficiency.. sorry it's not your fault |
Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Nobody: 9:55pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
Dayodragon:Who is this liar with empty argument..?? Are you, are you normal?? You are lieing against Klose here... Google "Just Fontaine in 1958 World cup" He scored 13goals in 1 single world cup!! Is that the era you want me to take serious?? |
Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Nobody: 9:58pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
Dayodragon: Come back here... Mr English Google Iniesta vs Chelsea in 2018 UCL.. then we can talk!!! Iniesta that even played in the 2018 World cup!! Are you related to Lai Muhammed?? |
Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Nobody: 9:59pm On Jun 08, 2020 |

Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Dayodragon: 10:01pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
eni4real: No wonder you argue ignorantly... FIFA WORLD CUP 2001 GROUP 1 Australia 31-0 American Samoa Australia's Archie Thompson also broke the record for most goals scored by a player in an international match by scoring 13 goals..David Zdrilic , the scorer of eight goals in the match, achieved the second highest number of goals in an international match since World War I . Can you see more than 8 goals was never scored by any player back then except in this modern era.. I'm done with your stupd and senseless arguments |
Re: De Jong: When Messi Gives Advice, You Listen by Nobody: 10:03pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
Dayodragon:Are you , are you normal?? There is no world cup in 2001 World cup was hosted in 2002 by Korea/Japan And the heaviest score was 8:0 Germany vs Saudii Arabia.. Klose scored just 3 You must pay me for this tutorial |
