Numero uuuno: With the basis of your comparism,
If cr7 had all those you listed up there,and none of them could be even the 3rd best player in the world.
And messi,has xavi,iniesta,neymar,alves,sergio,puyol,ronaldinho,henry,et all
Who is the hustler?
Is it the guy that has rooney,tevez,fletcher,giggs who hasn't won anything close to 3rd world best or
the guy who had ronaldinho(3 times world best),henry(one time 2nd best player),xavi and inesta as fellow players.
Please answer this o.

Please answer this o.

o! So now you believe in 3rd best player in the world? But you don't believe in the best player in the world. The one 'fifa gave' second and third iniesta and xavi you believe but the first which is messi you say it is cheating ba? You see the hypocrite in you?

Saying someone is a playstation player or the best ever is different from saying someone is the best in the world.

Numero uuuno: @first bolded,CR7 equalled or even bettered this record by being the first la-liga player to score against the 19 opposing teams.
So messi didn't do a new thing here,rather Cr7 taught him to do so.
@second bolded,wayne rooney never said messi is the world best,infact,rooney is a fan of andrea iniesta..so get your facts right.
Who do you expect guardiola and xavi to support before?ofcourse this is a rhetorical question,its gonna be messi since they are in the same team...just like SAF will say CR7 is the world best too.
@third bolded,ofcourse he is a playstation player,is he going to be in sega before?.
We all know wenger doesn't have a constant opinion,he just said last week that zlatan is better tham messi and ronaldo,I'm sure after the play off ,he might say Cr7 is the world best next week.
So nothing special in that.

rooney says messi is the best ever. If u don't know even google can help u. Ronaldo never scored consecutively against 19 opponents. Stop lying! Why not bold everything and respond na? At least xavi and pep are bold enough to call him the best ever. Let de maria and pepe call ronaldo the best ever na! Shame no go let them.

Numero uuuno: you may also add.
The only footballer to win world best in a world cup year without a single goal scored by him in SA2010.
The only player to outshine a man that won all competitions he contested for(Sneidjer won Serie A,UCL,coppa ITalia,e.t.c except world cup which he won silver medal) to the world best despite him(messi) not winning anything but the la'liga.
Messi is favoured,its so plain that a blind man can see the favouritism.
The fifa world best lost its credibility since 2010 when sneidjer was cheated for the ugly midget....so no dispute...messi is being favoured.
Why is it that some managers and team captains do complain that the players they voted for are not the ones inputed into the fifa voting poll...i could remember goal.com writing an article on this.
So abeg,messi is always favoured by sepp blatter and his co-conspirators.
Another clue is sepp last statement concerning CR7...

am sorry to say this pls stop being a big f00l. Are u an illierate or what? So fifa will change votes and still display on the internet? Managers and captains complain? Because mourinho said so? Guy pls how old are you b4 I continue this argument. And bring the goal.com article let's see. Because and ronaldo continue losing then fifa is changing votes! Guy u need to behave like a learned person.

Numero uuuno: Each man to his own.
If CR7 is called hair stylist,same could be said of messi as an Ugly midget which isn't far from the truth....
i don't hate messi,you got that wrong,i like him but of course 'one man akara,na another mans cake'
i love the way Cr7 plays,he's an hustler,playing in supposed average teams or let's say picking up a team solely and at the same time finding space to shine.
He doesn't shy away from competition,hence his change from epl to la-liga,that's the spirit of a legend...testing new waters.
Tell me who is as good as Xavi and iniesta in man utd or madrid,no one is at their par,but despite all, this guy still win trophies for his team and personal accolades too.
Let's give it to him,you can't tell me i hate messi,cos I'm a CR7 fan,if you think its so,then i may call you a CR7 hater too.
@pele ore
Okabo,ose

what are u talking? U people keep burying ur heads in the sands. If he can do it alone he should go to getafe or almeria or westbrom or fulham and win ballo dor lets see now! At man u he had a support cast of rooney, tevez, giggs, scholes, fletcher, nani, evra, vidic, ferdinand, van nistelroy and the man u call the greatest manager to guide him fergi. At madrid there is ozil, alonso, de maria, bale,khedira, kaka, benzema, higuain, marcelo, pepe, ramos, the greatest keeper casillas and another so called special one mourinho to guide him. And u are there talking of xavi and iniesta? Without these 2 richest clubs who can buy the best players to assist him ronaldo won't even have a sniff of the ballon dor. Go to fulham or getafe then.

Numero uuuno: i had to read that post three times before i could understand because of the mistake(Here instead of hear).
You don't need to take it personal,okay?
I'm not here to tutor you on English language so i'll let it pass.
They aren't postponing it because of the play-off but because of a low turn out of voters.
Not because of Ronaldo,and not even blatter(a biased man who favours messi) would have done Cr7 such favour,I'm sure he's trying to make up for his senseless statement about ronaldo by trying to appease him and his fans with the extension.
#CR7 for ballond'Or
Cheers.

then why did you have to highlight it? After u had made a meaning out of it u should have just gone ahead to make ur comment. Anyways u still don't understand my point. But firstly blatter does not favour messi. Does he share money or awards to players? Blatter loves messi but he has no power to favour messi. The man has no single balon dor vote. U people still refuse to accept this so u can have a good excuse for ronaldo serially losing to messi in all awards. Even awards that are not conducted by fifa and uefa are still won by messi, like espn awards, world soccer magazine award, onze dor awards. But these haters will still blame blatter. Na wA o. If it was messi who played last nite, and the ballon dor was coincedentally postponed due to low voting feedback, u people will still say it's a lie, that blatter just wants to favour messi. Can't u get this simple point?

Xsolutions: WRONG!!! ALOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALLY LIKE MESSI BECAUSE HE IS UNJUSTLY FAVOURED BY UEFA FIFA...

if out of 500 voters 400 love messi more, Then out of 6 billion people in the world over 4.5 billion will love him more than ronaldo. Logic.

Xsolutions: Oh SHUT UP...EVERY SANE PERSON KNOW MESSI HAS BEEN UNJUSTLY FAVOURED BY MAN HAS FAR AS BALLON D'OR IS CONCERNED

unjustly favoured? Why? Why would messi be the only one being favoured out of at least 500 professional footballers? Is messi paying the voters part of his salary? Or is messi giving the voters his wife or sisters to have turns in bed with? Let's use our heads for a minute now! The only footballer in the history of the sport to score 91 goals in a year is unjustly favoured? The only footballer capable of scoring 73 goals in one season is unjustly favoured? The only footballer in the history of the sport to score 50 league goals in a major league is unjustly favoured? The only footballer in the history of the sport capable of scoring 5 goals in just one champions league match is unjustly favoured? The only footballer in the history of the game capable of scoring consecutively against all league oPponents is unjustly favoured? The only active footballer who isa consistently compared with pele and maradona by the international media is unjustly favoured? The footballer whom wayne rooney, guordiola, xavi, graham souneSs, etc etc have called the greatest of all time is unjustly favoured? The only footballer whom wenger has called a play station player is unjustly favoured? Something is definitely wrong with humanity!

philfearon: If qualifying Portugal with a play-off is the reason Ronaldo will win the World best,then he will neva win it.....Crap!!
Did u watch the France vs Ukraine Match? Did u watch the Croatia vs Iceland Match? Didnt they qualify their teams too? Was it not people that got them through?
The simple truth is,Portugal were stupid and sloppy,that they just did what they should have done a longtime ago!! They should have topped their group Ahead of Russia! Qualifying on the nerve of a tricky match wich could have gone either ways doesnt give him or the entire team a plus,it shows that they lack the quality of champions{not that they are champions anyway}!!

gbam gbam

Oluwaseytiano: contrary, Ronaldo is the most hated player in the world

agreed. But the difference is- messi is hated for his successes, his balon dors, his guiness book of records, etc while ronaldo is hated for his perceived arrogance(note the word perceived)

Numero uuuno: You mean 'hear'
And have you read the reason for the extension?

and why are you highlighting my typo. From my posts so far do I seem like someone who doesn't know how here differs from hear? Or if you wish to turn this into an english language debate, pls be my guest! That was a very cheap shot if u ask me. And about the reason for the postponement, only fifa knows. Maybe because they want voters to take the play offs into consideration, maybe they haven't received many votes but the point is this- if it was messi u people will say that blatter did it to favour messi and would never agree with any reason given, even if it was due to low voters' response. Comprende?

dmcdad: I was surprised when I read it... Na wa ooooo. Make 13th of January reach make them carry am give Ronaldo as him wan die follow the award, so that him body go come down...

abi o. Make them give am make we rest abeg.

Fifa has extended the ballon dor. I hope the ronaldo fans would come out now and thrash on blatter the same way they would if it was messi who played last nite. By now they'd be falling over each other shouting fifa fifa fifa.

I don't here nobody talking thrash on blatter for the voting extention. But if it was messi who played last night they'ld all come out in their numbers shouting fifa fifa fifa.

[quote author=Jona-The-Clown]Last season, Andres Iniesta won the
UEFA Best Player in Europe Award as Cristiano
Ronaldo and Lionel Messi looked on. The former
looked grumpy (later there would be plenty of
speculation in the Spanish media that he
blamed his club for not "campaigning" on his
behalf), the latter merely uncomfortable, staring
down at his shoes with the sheepish grin of
someone who would rather be anywhere else
than decked out in a suit on the stage at
Montecarlo’s Grimaldi Forum.
Awards are only as significant as the folks who
choose the winners, the criteria laid out by the
organizers and how closely the electorate follows
those criteria.
Relative to the 500-plus who pick the FIFA Ballon
d’Or winner, the UEFA Best Player in Europe
Award has a smallish pool of voters: 53
journalists, one from each UEFA member nation.
(Yes, even Andorra, San Marino and
Liechtenstein; no the Vatican is not a UEFA
member.)
Unlike the Ballon d’Or -- whose criteria are
deliberately fuzzy and is based on a calendar
year -- UEFA’s award has defined criteria: it goes
to the "best player" in Europe during the
2012-13 season. And, unlike the Ballon d’Or, it’s
basically a two-round vote. Jurors vote for their
top three picks, who receive points based on a
5-3-1 system. The top three vote-getters then go
on a shortlist and, on the day of the award, the
53 jurors vote for one guy each. In practical
terms, it’s arguably a fairer system.
The "problem" is that sportswriters don’t like to
follow the rules or, in this case, the criteria. You
may feel that Franck Ribery was the most
valuable player in Europe last season, that
without him Bayern would never have won their
Treble. Or you may feel that it’s only right to
pick a guy from a team that won important
silverware. Or you may just be tired by the hype
machine that follows Ronaldo and Messi around
everywhere they go, and yearn for a change.
That’s all great. Those are all fine reasons to
vote for somebody. But if you observe the
criteria, you should only consider one thing: who
was the best in 2012-13.
Was it the guy who finished second in his
domestic league and cup and took his team to
the semi-finals of the Champions League, scoring
55 goals in 55 appearances in all competitions?
Or perhaps it was the guy who helped his team
win the league with a record-equalling number
of points, also took his side to the semis in
Europe’s biggest cup competition and notched
an outrageous 60 goals in 49e games?
For a plurality of the folks on the jury, the
answer was "no". The answer was neither
Ronaldo nor Messi.
It was Ribery.
There isn’t much point in reducing it to
numbers, because his contribution goes beyond
goals (but then, to be fair, so does Messi’s and
Ronaldo’s), but if you want to go there, Ribery
scored 11 goals last season while playing in 42
games.
What Ribery did was play exceptionally well in
key games last season, particularly in the
Champions League knockout round. But you can
make an argument that, last year, the
contributions of Phillip Lahm, Manuel Neuer,
Bastian Schweinsteiger and Arjen Robben
(certainly in the final) were also critical to
Bayern’s success.
In some ways, we already saw this thinking last
season, when Iniesta won it ahead of Messi and
Ronaldo. Iniesta won the same silverware Messi
did with Barcelona, but, on top of that, he was
instrumental to Spain winning the Euros. Great
season, reward for achievement. But nobody
outside of his immediate family would suggest
Iniesta was a "better player" than Ronaldo or
Messi in 2011-12 which rather precludes him
being "the best".
Is it just semantics? Sure, maybe. But words do
matter.
Call it "Player of the Year".
Or "Most Valuable Player".
Or "Player-other-than-Lionel-or-Cristiano-who-we-
want-to-recognize-otherwise-those-guys-will-win-
every-award-between-them."
Just don’t call it "Best Player in Europe in
2012-13".
Because, simply put, he wasn’t.
It’s not a knock on Ribery, it’s a knock on the
award and those voting for it.
What’s happening here is that we’ve taken the
brilliance those two guys have displayed over the
past few seasons and turned it into some kind of
normality. Well, it’s not normal. This isn’t like
when baseball moved out of the dead ball era
and everybody started hitting home runs. The
total number of goals being scored has remained
constant. It’s just these two guys -- and these
two guys alone -- who have started scoring in
industrial quantities and doing it for years at a
time.
Ribery is an exceptional footballer on an
outstanding team that deservedly broke records
last year, losing just three games in all
competitions. But it takes some mental
acrobatics to say he’s the "best player" in
Europe.
culled from ESPN blog[/quote]I just love that part of the article which says don't call it 'best player in europe' cus going strictly by this article, messi was again the best player of the 2012/13 season.

[quote author=ezzy-e]he is not a striker[/quote]lol that is the greatest myth in world football. When those passes were going tru, did you see anybody else upfront? Ronaldo is always close to the 6 yard box. That isn't where someone who isn't a striker should be!

Nonso23: Don't blame me for calling him penaldo; a Madrid fan taught me that.
Don't blame me for calling him a hair stylist; Sepp taught me that..

ozil Really better than Iniesta

no, he didn't mean it that way, he loves being sarcaastic.

Numero uuuno: how does my sex come into the case?
But u started it by talking about his hair first nau.

no no brother, you got the wrong guy. I never call him names. I have never talked about his hair, I have never called him penaldo. I discuss him strictly on footballing terms. Though I might have a problem with anyone telling me there are two best players in the world. Ronaldo is a great footballer. Infact he is a goal machine. But he is just the second best player in the world. Personally I'd say thirrd because of andreas iniesta but the world says he is second, so I go with 2nd.

Numero uuuno: how would you not see ibrahimovic clapping his hands for ronaldo's second goal if you watched the match? Zlatan acknowledged ronaldo's excellence.,read it at goal.com

The night won't matter since ronaldo helped his team to victory but had it been he lost,you would have spearheaded the attack against him.
Atleast Cr7 has hair to stlye rather than the ugly midget.

are you a guy or a babe. We are talking competence on the pitch and u are talking of looks and se.x appeal. Hmn.

Iaz93: I bet! You know nothing about football.
What is the work of a defender? What is the work of midfielder? What is the work of a striker? Nna ehn!! I bet you started watching football yesterday. Look at how biased your post is.

Tell me, how does Alan Shearer celebrate his goals?
How did Messi celebrate his 2nd goal against Man.Utd in the 2011 Champs league final? Even Henry? Hahahaha! You're a learner. Leave sentiments aside. Face reality!


Damn!!

if you score one goal and celebrate alone, ok. But not 3 goals and doing the same thing. That aside. Why do you keep pointing to yourself over and over and over again. Don't be sentimental, it is arrogance and it undrmines team work. Like I said I don't know how they cope with him but its no business of mine. Lol.

Numero uuuno: your hatred for ronaldo has no bound.
What does the way he celebrate his goals has to do with anything
Stop grasping at thin air and face the issue at hand.
Lol At slaves,really?then what are xavi,iniesta to messishould we call them slaves too

Numero uuuno: your hatred for ronaldo has no bound.

Lol At slaves,really?then what are xavi,iniesta to messishould we call them slaves too

xavi and iniesta are not slaves to messi. For 2 reasons. 1. He even assists more than they do. 2. Whenever they assist him, he runs to them in gratitude and thanks them.

Numero uuuno: @Bolded,i corrected you earlier on to comprehend post before quoting people,show me where i said sepp blatter votes.
Next time read slowly..then read once more before quoting me.
Blatter as the head of fifa shouldn't mediate in matters that the public will debate on,i.e voting of the world best.his utterance about ronaldo clearly shows that he is a biased man that lacks integrity and was campaigning messi to the world.
Then,tell me where is the integrity in whatever such a man does like being the head of fifa,surely,he'll use some 'veto power' to make his boy win.
Let me use a local example for you for better understanding,what does jega as the INEC boss telling Nigerians that GEJ is his favourite contestant for the presidency impliesofcourse,there will be rigging.
@the numbers post,here is what i got online,I'm not too sure of the genuineness..
Messi-217games is 227 goals.-Goalspergame is 1.046
CR7-198 games is 201goal-goals per game is 0.985

what else do you mean by sepp blatter is the head of the voting team? You cannot use that jega logic. Why? Jega cannot display 50 million votes on the internet after an election but every year fifa shows you all the votes and you still complain. You will be worse than APC. As for messi and ronaldo I implore you to start counting messi's goals from 200c when ronaldo joined la liga.

Numero uuuno: Explain what you mean by the bolded?
i thought 20 teams plays la-liga.
Also,CR7 was the first la-liga player to score again 19 la-liga opponents if that is what you mean.

hahahahahahahahahahaha. Yes 20 teams play la liga. But you want him to score against himself like ronaldo did? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. secondly ronaldo scored against 19 league opponents but messi was the first to do it CONSECUTIVELY. Consectutively is consistency.

la furia: what determines ballan dor this days, I guess it what suit messi isn't it?
messi wins the pichichi, cr7 wins the uefa golden ball, any argument? none
yes, lionel messi held the record of highest number of cl goals in a single year last year with 13.so how did messi come up with 91 goals in a calendar last season that was use to promote his world best credentials? we are talking about January to December 2013 not sept 2012-sept 2013.
goals are easier to score in group stage u say but messi has more prolific in the knock out stages, i believ if messi should achieve same feat, you would surely talk about it
oh i get, it is when messi achieves it then it is a record, if cr7 does it, it is not a record, seriously. so who made scoring in knock out stages a record, sepp blatter.?

let tell ourselves the truth, since messi and cr7 came into the world of soccer, stats have never been the same again.
who cared the number of hatricks one has in year, who cared how many goals scored in all competition
do you know that messi has the record of scoring in so many stadium than any player
i never knew scoring 91 goals in a calendar year was a big deal until messi did it, in the past no one cared, people just loved the game.

if messi can achieve it, why not cr7, no one has a monopoly of stat.
cheers

before you forget let me seize this opportunity to remind you that messi entered the guiness book of records for his 91 goals. Ronaldo if he wants to enter should score 26 more before december 31. Yes you can talk about total goals in ALL COMPETITIONS. That's why it is all competitions combined. But ther is no such this as aay- 80 la liga goals in a year, or 60 epl goals in a year or 20 champions league goals in Year. It doesn't make sense. Yes you can metion it all day but it is NO RECORD. Adding 2 league seasons together, that is nothing. Messi never had a record like 13 goals in 2012, so ronaldo didn't break any record. Messi's record was 14 goals in the 2011/12 season. Then about goals they both scored goals, but what's the tie breaker for the season? Simple messi scored 63 ronald0 55. Period.

tafrica: He is d la liga top scorer, champ league top scorer, he has scored highest no of hatrick ds year......al in all, he has cored highest no of goals ds year.
I am a fan of Messi nd I believe he's greater than Ronaldo, bt Ronaldo clearly has worked for it ds year and therefore merits the award.

my guy all these you mentioned where achieved btw october and november. Just 2 months out of 12 months. What about the other 10 months?What about january to september? Messi won the pichichi with 46 in may, messi won the europen shoe with 46 by may, messi was top scorer in all competitions with 63 goals, messi didn't have to worry about qualifiers because his top scorer feat in the south american zone made argentina one of the first countries to qualify for brazil, in may messi became the only man in history to score consecutively against 21 league opponents including all 19 la liga teams, and finally messi capped all these feats with 2 trophies. Yes 2 trophies, the la liga and the spanish super cup. Tell me did ronaldo do up to this? The only thing that could go against messi is that he has already won 4.

crispgg: I wonder why everybody is shouting Ronaldo. Any world class striker worth his pay would have scored those goals. Rather, I am interested in knowing who the Portuguese midfielder is that made those passes. If you watch the build up to the three goals carefully, you will notice that they came from three defence piercing passes made from the midfield, all Ronaldo had to do was place himself at the right place, run up to the goal and shoot.

I would rather be singing the praises of the midfielder IMO.

seriously I wonder how ronaldo's team mates put up with him! They just are SLAVES to him. Without pepe and bruno alvez to hold ibra and co last night, portugal would have conceeded 5 even before scoring. Without those sublime assist passes, ronaldo was alone upfront with so much space. The least he could do is run to hug his team mates who gave him those defence splitting passes. That is what players do, they look for the assist man and run to him in gratitude. But what does ronaldo do everytime? He runs to the corner alone pointing to himself pointing to himself and pointing to himself. Like I said I wonder how his team guys cope with him. Well they are not complaining so who am I to complain?

Numero uuuno: We both know the votes don't count especially when the head of the voting team(sepp blatter) is bias and just confessed he loves messi,messi is better,blah blah blah.
Where is the credibility in the voting scheme when sepp could utter such nonsense.
CR7 rocks.....and dats it.
Yes my opinion doesn't matter but neither do your's and the messi crew.
#Cr7 for ballond'or
Cheers.

votes don't count? Head of the voting team? This guy doesn't even know that blatter doesn't vote. Are you saying blatter shouldn't have a favourite footballer? Blatter loved baggio, bergkamp denis, ronaldinho. No one head any complaints. Men lie, women lie, numbers and trophies don't lie. Lay messi's numbers side by side with ronaldo's and the latter will never win ballon dor, blatter or no blatter. Even for ballon dor 2013, put them side by side, even with his injuries his feats are better than ronaldo's. I challenge u now lay down ronaldo's feats from november 2012 to ,november 2013.The only thing that will go against messi this year is that he has won it 4 times already.

la furia: Hahahha seriously?
2013
Cr7
Highest goal scorer in in calendar year with 66 and still counting
Better El clasico head to head goals than messi in 2013
Highest goal scorer in copa del rey
Highest goal scorer in champions League 2012/2013 season
Set a new record of highest champions League goals in a calendar year 14
Won the Spanish super cute against Barcelona
Runners up in copa del rey final
Broken the champions League record of number of goals in a group stage
Highest number of hatrick in single calender year in 2011, he presently sit on 7 hatrick in 2013 with messi having just one.
We can argue if cr7 is better than messi all day but as far as 2013 is concerned, cr7 has edged messi in every department.

lol. This guy is so desperate and so funny! Better classico head to head? Are you kiddin me or what? So this is really a feat to determine the ballon dor? Ronaldo is highest scorer in copa del rey and championsa league while messi ias highest scorer in a 38 match la liga with 46 goals and highest scorer in european leagues with 46 goals and then highest scorer in all compettions put together with 63 goals. Like seriously can't u see that his uefa and copa goals have been swallowed? And then the most desperate one-broke the record for the highest number of champions league goals! Was there ever such a record? Never! You cannot add two champions league seasons together just to manufacture a record for ronaldo. The only existing record is messi's 14 goals in the 2011/2012 season not 2012 year. Na wa o! Then champions league record in the GROUP STAGE. This is worth mentioning but for Christ's sake how the hel1 is this a record When goals are even much easier to score in the group stages. The existing record is messi's record of top scorer in the KNOCKOUT stages where goals are difficult to score. Nna see trouble o. Records from everywhere!

Numero uuuno: All those thing you said above are nice feats but irrelevant in a world cup year.
In a world cup year,the winner of the fifa ballond'or is the best player in the world cup and its so plain that wesley sneijder was robbed by fifa in 2010.
If you are saying messi won this,messi won that,what about sneijder that won Uefa champoins league,Italian league,coppa di italia,and world cup silver medal.in year 2010.
Sneijder deserved it in 2010.
Another case is fabio cannavaro that won it in 2006 just because italy won the world cup.
So u would agree with me that messi didn't deserve the 2010 own.
Cheers.

says who? You? Just one you? Or maybe you and all those who think they know better than those voting including yobo and siasia who voted for messi? Or are you very sure you know more than yobo? Or are you sure your opinion matters more than yobo's and the sports luminaries who said messi? Mtcheeeew! You too cheers!

ddippset: so in all your years of being a football fan(let me believe you are), you sincerely say that because he didn't score a goal then he was not superb right? He was better than 90 percent of all those who scored. Messi created 7 out of argentina's 10 goals. And let me tell you this- higuain actually scored 5 goals, but he was not half as good as messi in SA 2010.

leo is very different to ronaldo. Even when he isn't scoring, he is doing superb things on the pitch. You guys need to start watching football looking beyond watching the football just going in the back of the net.

Numero uuuno: hey,there's no particular part of his(dietsono) post that said 'messi went trophyless'.
Read dietsono's post again to have a better understanding of it.
Its a fact that messi didn't score a goal at SA2010WC.

so in all your years of being a football fan(let me believe you are), you sincerely say that because he didn't score a goal then he was not superb right?

And let me tell you this- higuain actually scored 5 goals, but he was not half as good as messi in SA 2010.

dietsono: so.....u messififa fans nw believed that ballon d'or is not based on goal or 3 month performance right.......after ur messififa had already won d award based on goals and some unusual and weird decisions and criterias........a player dat has no single goal in south Africa 2010 W/C and still went ahead to claim d award...........so r u guys still saying sthg?......mtcheeeeeew

in that 2010, messi won la liga, messi was la liga top scorer, messi was top scorer in all european leagues, messi was champions league top scorer, messi was top sacorer in all competitions, messi became the first man to score 4 goals in the champions league against arsenal, messi was in the shortlist for the best player in sa 2010. Has ronaldo ever achieved these in a season? That is what messi did in 2010.
