There's absolutely nothing more than scoring goals in football. There are other things in football. But there's nothing more than scoring goals.

What gives fans most excitement in football is scoring goals. What gives a team a win is scoring goals.

Without scoring, no matter what you play, how many passes you make, how many chances you create, you won't win.

If it's so, every player will be swapping positions every week.. You're a defender this week and a striker the next.. It's more than just scoring goals.. We only brought that up because of the Messi/Ronaldo rivalry.. Fifa brings Maradona and Pele together, but Maradona scored few goals, but his heat map and presence on the pitch was amazing..

if this Prof. doesn't put number of club appearances and international appearances into consideration or something like goal per game ratio, then he is a shit-hole.



Imagine, assist and dead-ball conversation rate are not even considered. Smh

All Nairalanders don craze finish.

When you agure football without stats, then nothing makes sense
On a general stats sense, CR7 is ahead of Messi. Case closed!!

PS: The day Pessi will score the kind of 40 yards long distance goal CR7 scored against Arsenal in 2009 UCL, I'll cease to be a CR7 fan and bow to Pessi.

Angelfrost u wanna shuk hand in my mouth this evenin. Kole work

Wetin Ronaldo's fanboys no go do for this world to make all of us laugh

paulolee:
messi have more trophies..

1. Players don't have trophies. Clubs have the trophies. The player only wins it for the club as part of a team. Players have trophy medals instead.

Now you're more about the numbers than the trophy type itself. Yet you attack the Maths man.

Messi has nine types of tournament winners medals and nine types of individual honours for his career currently. The rest are replicas (or duplicates if you please) of the one you already counted.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, has eighteen types of tournament winners medals and twelve types of individual honours for his career currently. Like previously stated, the rest are duplicates of the ones already counted.

Ronaldo has a more diverse collection compared to Messi.

Then jayjay should be world best.



Yes bt goals is a major part of it.

Most of the highest goal scorers in history ain't even in the Fifa top 10 best players... If it's all about goals, how did players like Stefano, Zidane, Maradona, Garrincha, Johan Cruyff and Platini make FIFA top 10 list? It's beyond scoring goals... The Professor should have left the whole goat debate between Messi and Ronaldo, he just made a joke of himself by making a whole list..

Has Ronaldo ever scored a goal like this?

Use mathematic formular for wetin clear like this.

Ronaldo is the greatest ever in this world..but Messi is not from this world.

Case closed

Ronaldo GOAT

Messi demigod footballer

Like for GOAT

Share for demigod

Going by pamutation, Messi has more goals..

BTW there is more to football than goals

... take it easy on Messi minions....they go collapse oooo .... look as them flood this thread.... joblessness is a disease ....their painment is my sweetness ...but if b say the prof talk say na messi, una go start to celebrate the prof..thats the result deal with it

Then there should be GOAT award.
Maybe in three category so that messi will appeased and a third

OJEEMAH:
Maths & football?? Very ridiculous!

Puskas ahead of Maradona & Ronaldo Del Lima shows mathematical calculation is not applicable in football otherwise FIFA would have been using this same algorithm all these years.

Thank God he said its a statistics used in maths to represent how outstanding a particular event is.

When you consider puskas played for an average team unlike the others you have mentioned, you realise the report has its strong merits

But goals is actually what wins matches.

I have never known Madrid to be an average team.

if una like make una use formular or equation the day where ronaldo sabi ball pass messi i no the watch football again

Abeg free these village people; they know nothing about football

Maybe he's talking about the country he played for.. He forgot its not an easy thing playing for a country that has lots of talents for every position

lordprogress:

lol just take a look at what you typed when you are sober pukas is not even among the top 10 greatest footballers ever not to talk of being above maradona or Johan Cruyff.
the professors logic is obviously about goals.

Hey, let me school you small. The word 'greatest' is subjective hence the unending debate about the GOAT. In a team sport like football, it's even more difficult to name the GOAT. I have been watching football for nearly 3 decades now and have seen great players come and go. There are legitimate grounds to name Puskas as one of the top ten players of all time

Am sure he doesn't see it that way.

damn statistics really got them Messi fans all worked up. Even CR7 fans no full this thread

ThierryJay:
Lol, this is what is called working to the answer

It's obvious it is a "sponsored" exercise like the Dubai D'or. CR recently became the global brand ambassador for Livescores who commissioned the exercise and so a result that does not project him as their best will be unacceptable for their brand.

The very fact that this Pendussor's methodology places Maradona as lower than Platini, Puskas and Van Basten already showcases the report as a pile of shitload. Platini that isnt even considered as great as Zidane? Again, how is Zidane and Ronaldinho not even in the list at all?

The Pendussor already get wetin dey hin mind, he con sprinkle some sakamanjematics to whine hin fellow pendumbos, knowing that they rarely think through

How will CR score "hundred hundred" across all seven criteria? Is he in Nursery class? Haba, oga scientist give room for some parallax and human error na even if dem no teach you

The best indicators of a player's individual brilliance is the World best/Ballon D'or award followed by man of the match awards and trophies. Messi has more Ballon D'ors, and way more MOTM awards and total trophies than CR. How can CR still then be scored equal or higher than Messi in these same areas to show the buffoonery of this analysis?. Imagine giving a Ballon D'or award the same weight as total number of international goals, meaning Ali Daei and Kaka would be considered to be on the same greatness level

Heineken or Budweiser?

paulolee:
maths professor wey suppose free football n focus on maths..bt he choosed to allow sentiments cloud his reasoning..
I think this professor and his algorithm should be arrested and jailed for his sentimental n shallow reasoning..
messi have more trophies, awards n more ballon d or won, Leo have 711 goals in just 884 games n cr7 has 748 in 1026 games, but the prof algorithm still placed cr7 as 100%..
he ended by saying the debate would continue but not knowing dt his algorithm did nothing to d debate..
besides...nothing in science world can be 100% perfect...

Hope you won't vomit ontop CR7.
We know your Messi is talented.
But CR7 is a motivation to many. A positive influence to a live of never giving up.
He's a combination of talent, training & good influence.
Talent wise, Messi has the edge. But you can't ignore the landmarks of CR7.
So why are you robbing him of his honour?
If not for CR7, Messi ll v won 11 ballon dor & if not for Messi, CR7 would v won 11 ballin for too. Boko reason well
