tuzle:
are u saying because he didn't score much in the world cup that makes him a poor scorer. He has scored in many champions league finals so he can obviously score in finals and champions league is also hard.

With the help of super stars like Marcello, Ramos, Modric, Rooney, Tevez, Hargreaves, Vidic etc


Y cant he transform such performance in a decent team like Portugal to even third place victory in 5 WORLD CUP APPEARANCES. NOT EVEN A KNOCK OUT WORLD CUP GOAL.

charleyboy:


Messi reluctantly joined PSG at the age of 34 when he was already in the decline, the team did not play to Messi’s strength, Messi alone cannot carry the team on his shoulders, especially with their poor defenders. Despite that he won 3 trophies in 2 years at PSG and not too long ago won the best foreign player, scoring 32 goals and 34 assist in total, which is a very good return but poor by Messi’s standard.

Tell me what Ronaldo has achieved in 5 World Cup and European championships appearances?

Portugal has always had decent teams, that’s why they came third in 1966 World Cup, runners up in 2004 European championships, finally won it in 2016 (not with Ronaldo’s effort because without Ronaldo they would have still won it).

You claim Laliga is weak, but they have the most trophies in Europe, Messi played against a lot of EPL teams in CL, you know how many goals he scored against them. The likes Hazard, Henry & Owen who were great EPL players flopped in Laliga, would you say they were not great players? It happens both ways.

Even if Messi was a Columbian, he would have still been a great player even if he doesn’t win the World Cup. George Weah is still the biggest player to come out of Africa despite never going to the World Cup.

Ronaldo had team members playing for him at Madrid, Juventus and the national team. In fact his coming to Juventus disrupted their chemistry as the coach later confessed that everyone is looking to pass the ball to Ronaldo.

U are a dreamer and naive of u think they would have qualified for the final if not for Ronaldo... go and watch portugal vs Hungary in 2016...the game that sent them to the knockout... go watch portugal vs Croatia and see what Ronaldo did that gave Quaresma the winner... go and watch the semis vs Wales ... if not for Ronaldo, they would not have even seen a final to play

You can stop typing now

You clearly only putting Ronaldo version from 2016 down to 2023 into account for scoring goals goals goals

And completely disregard

2004 to 2014/2015 version of Ronaldo which lasted for 10yrs being so skillful and dribbles and free kick technique

All those players you mentioned above don't have half the number of haters Ronaldo has Constantly comparing you in an abusive manner to just 1 single person for 15yrs

Just watch how pundits hang him every week during his madrid and Juventus days

For years it has always been and will always be a story of Ronaldo and Messi

For him to still come out on top Is the reason Many prefers Ronaldo

And watch Ronaldo interview about Messi

He sometimes accept Messi is better if It's your opinion
But in his mind He is bold enough to say and Play it out that he is Better than Messi

Also motivates you to never accept anyone is better than you
And strive to always be the best in whatever profession you find yourself

Even when people prefers others to you

Proof them wrong

There is no need to argue this coz normally there isn't any argument or debate in the first instance. Messi is no longer in football conversion. He's now in conversion of sport best athlete with the likes of Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali.


He's always been the best since 2012/13. All these comparisons do not hold substance. Have a good day.

mayor1814:



Let him score and help his national team na. No single best player award in world cup or euro. That says a lot


Yeah he's very poor player wen it comes to world cup.

how many players has been good in world cup. I know u are a Messi fan and u won't want to say the fact. Apart from Messi just mention one other current player that had a successful career like he did when it comes to trophy, goal, assists and awards. If I can then I will agree that he isnt good. The player must tick all the criteria I mentioned.

mayor1814:



It's kids that rate Tapnaldo as high as messi. The reality is Messi is way above tapnaldo in ranking. Is it the dribbles, the magnificent assists, the free kicks, the playmaking roles etc


Ur fave is called Mr. Champions league, have u ever wondered y he couldn't transform that success to national team most especially at d world cup? Not even a bronze medal.

Asif I knew you'll steer the conversation to world cup

So why have messi not won the World Cup 3 Times?

Many players have won 3 World cups

If Messi is so so high

Why wait till he's 35

Messi is far far better and should have won atleast 2 or 3 out of the 5 world cup he played in

And mind You

Ronaldo has done far far great things for portugal
But I am not Portuguese so I won't go into how he Brought portugal to limelight post Figo era and stepped up

Messi and Ronaldo can't win the same world cup in the same competition same year

1 has to win it Messi did

Qudos to him

They were both without world cups for 4 different tournaments

So they are on the same level
1 just slightly better

Don't make it sound so high high

Like he has 5 world cups
And he won all his matches and didn't flop in PSG

Una get time dey argue with Pessi fans o, 🤣🤣🤣

That's your personal opinion

More than half football fan base around the world still believes

Ronaldo is the best ever Football player with all records and Stats to back him up

And will continue to be a debate outside nairaland and far more countries more than Nigeria FOR YEARS TO COME

As millions and millions of people around the world fell in love with Football because of 1 person


And that is cr7.

You can deny that doesn't mean it's not a fact

they are NEVER on the same level. Messi won WORLD CUP best player award in 2014, if not that useless Higuain, Messi cud have won dat year but that is not an excuse. Messi showed class n cemented his status as the best with the world cup BEST PLAYER AWARD at the age of 26. NOW he has TWO. A feat Pele or Tapnaldo will not be able to achieve.



if its easy to match Messi status or world cup greatness, let Tapnaldo score a world cup knock out goal first instead of embarrassing himself by stealing a goal unsuccessfully in desperation.

every true football fan or enthusiast knows Messi is the BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER to ever play football. Tapnaldo poor world cup record is a dent on his image, and there isn't nothing he could do about it except to incite his sister, family members, Piers Morgan etc to help inflate his ego and throw shades at coaches, Messi n FIFA.



if Tapnaldo is so good, y desperate to steal a world cup goal?

Kurumaru:

Dey play oooh

Rather na u dey play

OJEEMAH:
assist don de count too😂😂😂

That one no count, but una bring ‘penalty goals’ just to counter second highest goals in 2023.

Timoleon:
Ronaldo didnt play in England in his prime. He left when he was 23, returned when he was 35. Prime Ronaldo played for real. The records are there to prove it. At Juve he never reached any of his Madrid levels neither did he reach it at Man United the first or the second time.

So, he won FIFA world best player first where? Do you win that title without being in your prime? Do you make a money bag big move without being in your prime? Simply put, he had a long prime status. Even at old age, came back and delivered in the EPL. Someone ran away from it to USA.

Beverlyjean:


They scripted the WC for Messi.. u don't get 6 penalties in 6 different games out of the 7 played... Not just penalties, dubious penalties... they always gave them when score line was 0.0

And it's not by the names u mentioned ... Belgium has had an array of stars , Spain had alit coming into many WC b4 they finally did it in 2010... with England's stars , they can't win a cup.... psg could not win the CL despite packing stars ... it took City over 10 attempts b4 ut finally clicked ... when Nigeria were playing their 3rd World Cup ever... portugal were also playing their 3rd WC ever... Argentina had won 2 and played in 4 finals ... u need to understand the spectrum... the UCL is the only basic level playing competition that u can use to compare players... halaand will never win anything for country, Shevchenko, Ibrahimovic, Hazard, weah , bale, were all fantastic players and won trophies for clubs but cudnt with country bcis of the country they played for ... Delima won 2 WC but cudnt play a UCL final ... kane has never won anything, but that don't mean Giroud is half as good as him

They also scripted Netherland and France to loose the penalty shootout ? 🤭



And you haven't answered my questions, just blabbering about.

The name I gave you there was to tell you that Ronaldo had quality and world class players to win the world cup, you lots were the ones saying if Ronaldo had quality players that messi had he would have won the world cup, now that he had quality and world class players he couldn't scale through the quarter finals, rather is best was trying to steal goals from his team mate.

Spain pre 2010 never won a world cup, but won their first in 2010.

Chelsea pre 2012 never won the champions league, but won their first In 2012, there's always a first time to everything.

Your Ronaldo haven't scored a knockout goal in the world cup for over 16 years, the same competition that messi has won player of the tournament twice and won a Word cup.

Messi is miles ahead of Ronaldo

Understands sacarsm 😂 😂...

If Ronaldo no shortlist in this year ballon D or, walahi FIFA do ojoro

Messi is already accomplished trophy wise, and your opinion on where he chooses to play doesn't count, realistically Mls is Ranked higher than that Walai Talai league.

Firstly, your best numbers is what determines your prime. Not the world best he won. Other players who never won any personal awards have records of their prime and it’s simply marked by the period when they had their best numbers.

Secondly, Mbappe left Monaco at 19 for 270million euros, he was obviously yet to hit his prime, Bellingham, Enzo, Neymar...many other young players have left for big money’s yet to hit their prime. Sometimes huge money on a player is for the potentials and possibilities. It does not necessarily mean it’s for a finished product.

That Ronaldo came back and scored 21 goals in the league does not mean he was still in his prime. It proves otherwise. Ronaldo scored 40+ goals in different seasons at Madrid. He never did that anywhere else.
