lol. Keep f0oling yourself ok. This season as in september, october, half of november. That is 2 and a half months. What about january to august? What about 2012? Compile those statistics and tell us as well. Mr statistician.

Donmichaelz: world best or not,even if they give another the empty cup you are the best player i ever know.....messi fifa best ronaldo world best










cr7 reminds me of myself wen growing up i was not d best of student but thank God today am a graduate with first class computer science....i respect hardwork wen i see one

you were not the best student hen? Ok, that means you are ronaldo and that guy that was the best student is messi.

dmcdad: Have you forgotten how A-40 drove the both of us nuts on the European best player award thread?

hahahaha. I didn't forget o. How could we forget that life transforming experience?

Johnpaul88: ^^^
Pray, his friend dayokanu does not come too. Together they can drive people nuts!

lol. He almost got me suicidal sometime ago.

yourangel: It's pathetic and utterly disappointing to read words like the bolded from a self-proclaimed football fan. I would enjoin all my cule brothers and sisters here to ignore you and your posts because it's obvious that you are a child who started watching football last season when Bayern won the CL. Otherwise, you won't write those words. Who is Ribery? His case for the Ballon d'Or is because Bayern won the treble last season. Not because he's a better player than CR7 and Messi. In the season that led to the mind blowing scoring record of 91 goals by Messi, he gave 28 assists. Who on earth does that? Only Messi does! Be it Maradona, Zidane or Ronaldinho, they never assisted and scored like Messi does year in and year out. This is the wonder of Messi, and the reason some football legends believe he's the greatest football player ever. He scores in volumes, and assist in volumes. Can your Ribery assist and score simultaneously like Messi does? No way! To reduce Messi to a mere goal poacher (as inferred in your words) is disgusting and malicious. You can make an honest case for Ribery. You don't have to resort to such lies and total distortion of the truth before you make your case clear. Ribery would wish to be like Messi or Ronaldo for just one day in his life time. Who knows Ribery if not for the treble of Bayern? Messi and Ronaldo don't have to win any treble before people know them. They are gods in the world of football. A testament to the fact that Ribery is crying that his own people in France prefer Messi and Ronaldo for the award.

Maradona said this sometime ago, "Messi is my Maradona". Last week, Hernan Crespo quipped that Maradona was his idol in football, but for him, "Messi is better than Maradona". Three days ago, our own Sergio Busquets was asked what he would want to be like if he reincarnates. His answer was "if I reincarnate, I would like to come as Leo Messi". Would any Bayern player wish to reincarnate as Ribery? God forbid bad thing! (lol). I believe if you are given the option to reincarnate between Ribery and Messi (only), you would undoubtedly go for the latter...lol. So, you see what I am talking about?

I won't be surprised if Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar appear as the top three candidates for the Ballon d'Or this year. Luckily for Ribery, it's the top five candidates (instead of the usual top three) that will be unveiled this time around. So, he stands the chance of being among the final five candidates. People only know about Ribery in Europe. Ballon d'Or is not awarded by Europeans only, but by the whole world. Neymar's achievements in the confederations cup are more spectacular to voters outside of Europe than Ribery's. That Ribery won the best player in Europe award is not a guarantee he would win the Ballon d'Or. Our darling Iniesta won the best player in Europe award last year, yet he came third (yes, third, not even second) in the Ballon d'Or.

Ribery is a fantastic player and I would be happy for him if he wins the award this time. However, he can never be in the league of Messi and Ronaldo. Never ever! Please tell Ribery to focus on qualifying his country for the world cup. Messi don qualify him country tay tay!

gbam gbam gbam. How else could a player influence a game better than being the top scorer season after season and simultaneously being in the top 2 assists rank? Simultaneously! One man! People need to stop b1tching about the ballon dor, which is done in the best and most sincere possible way-by voting. There would definitely be much more b1tching and nagging if the ballon dor was simply awarded by a group of 10 wise fifa officials including of course mr blatter, in a 5 star hotel in zurich.

Ronaldo, nani, contreao, mereiles, moutinho, pepe, bruno alvez, postilga and 3 others versus ibrahimovic and 10 others.

It will be fair to have ribery, robben and messi in the final shortlist. As for ronaldo, if the ballon dor was for october and november only he should win without a doubt. He succeeded in deceiving the world with his performance over the last 2 months. What about january to september? He doesn't deserve it. A bayern player deserves to win it. Not quite sure between ribery and robben. Popular oppinion shows ribery but personally I go for robben, for their treble winning feat and for dismantling the then greatest team my beloved barcelona like that. Messi also deserves it, for having the best individual season ending may 2013- being the pichichi with 46, the european shoe with 46, top scorer in all competitions with 63, being the first man in history to score CONSECUTIVELY against all 19 league opponents, for qualifying argentina directly for the world cup while ronaldo's portugal and ribery's france still struggle, and for winning 2 trophies- the spanish super cup in september and la liga in may.

It is only in nollywood that a girl who is alone in the room cannot change her clothes without using a towel or a wrapper to block her unclothedness as if someone is there with her. Well people are actually there with her, camera man and us watching.

Na wah oh…this one wey Ribery dey beg for Ballon D'or[/quote]bros free the guy o! Why he nor go beg? Wey for everywhere na den de campaign for ronaldo. Go marca if ronaldo cough them go talk am, if he sh1t marca go talk am. Them jus de announce wetin ronaldo do for october and november. This is not ballon dor october and november, it is ballon dor 2013.

logica: A nice oxymoron is, "the midget that dwarfs his contemporaries".

lol, nice 1.

usbcable: I havent read the article but pardon me to say it will be filled with mostly wishful thinking from another journalist seeking the 10 seconds spotlight.

Messi si still young...darn... very young sef.
Look at most footballers they play best football when they near 28 29. So i expect similar from the Midget.


In as much as am happy that he is playing below par (which I hope continue for a while ), I know he will bounce back naturally to thrill his teaming fans, frenemies and enemies alike.


I go go read the article now and come back to comment.

this has to be one of the most sensible things you have said in a long long while. You deserve an award. But how come after you've managed to manage this feat, you went and spoilt it again by using the word 'midget'? Lol, na play I de o! Don't call him midget brother, call him the flea, la pulga.

philfearon: I totally agree with You bro...Neymar can achieve whatever he wishes to achieve alongside Messi...What People fail to reali undastand is that Neymar was brought in to play two roles:
*Help the team alongside Messi{diversifying the focal point}..
*Carry the team in the absence of Messi...
.......Like you rightly pointed out,Messi is alwaz Messi,he cant be anytin less than or greater than Messi....No replacement will be like him...Neymar fully knows this,and thats why he wanted to come and learn from the Master himself....
No matter how interesting the idea of recouping Millions of Euros through Messi sale is,It will backfire against this leadership...If anything,Citizenship and bloodline alike,Messi is a pure Cule,it runs in his blood,He is one of them,and The club knows better than to Sell a Pure blood!! Until 30-32yrs,i dont see Messi going anywhere!!

word my brother. Word!

Johnpaul88: In another note, I stumbled over this article and i thought i should share it.
In as much as i hate the contents, I found some of the opinions there intriguing and difficult to shallow. But they do look like incontrovertible facts, don't they?

Happy reading!

www.the4thofficial.co.uk/2013/11/12/the-end-of-messi-and-barca-is-nigh/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-end-of-messi-and-barca-is-nigh

some very hard facts to punder really but we need to realise this: a player like messi comes around like once in 30 or 40 years. Call me persimistic but neymar isn't going to step into messi's shoes. They far too big for him. There are so many players like him or whom he would end up like since he is young-ibrahimovic, aguero, silva, rooney, robben, rvp, suarez, de maria. But to step in messi's shoe, messi comes once a lifetime. If this is the end of messi then it would be difficult not to conclude this is barca's end. Chances are still there sha, after all before messi was ronaldinho. But very very very slim.

Football won't be quite the same for me I confess. I won't watch messi for 2 months! Sad. I could imagine how many fans buy tickets at the nou camp just to watch messi play. Watching barca and messi every sunday nite makes my weekends.

tomakint: Guy minus those legends I struck out if only you know what it means to play as a midfielder in Serie A when it was the rave of the moment in the 80s, and you emerge as the highest goal scorer in your second year as a midfielder (supporting striker), in your first year, you grabbed the scudetto (Italian League) where you have the likes of AC Milan, Sampdoria, Inter Milan, Juventus, Lazio and Parma all sizzling hot and yet you are the main player in your new club (a club that had never won the scudetto, Italian league title since it was created in the year 1926, 1st August) The name of the Club here is Napoli F.C and the name of this player is Maradona!

Another one went to this same league to ply his trade, he emerged as the second highest goal scorer in his first season in a league where goal scoring is as scarce as water in the desert, he helped them win the UEFA Cup, it was in this league that he got his nickname Il Fenomeno from the Italian Press as a result of his mesmerizing snake bites, step-overs and other waostic moves on the field of play! The club is Inter Milan and the player here is Ronaldo!

Yes Messi is in the league of these titans I highlighted above, of course he towers above the rest! One unique thing about Messi and the these two legends are their number of Solo Goals, this is the true mark of Legends in the GAME!

all this is your personal oppinion. I could name for you over 10 world football super stars including current players and coaches and ex players who are bigger than you, richer than you, know football a million times over you that have called messi the greatest of all time. So all this essay you wrote here is strictly your oppinion!

Spyde: wen u are sayin dat,compare wat messi played nd won wit iniesta nd sneidjer's back in 2010, u are a complete novice. *hiss*

in 2010 messi was top scorer in la liga with 34 goals, he was top scorer in all european leagues with 34 goals, he was top scorer in all competitions with 47 goals, he waas top scorer in champions league with 8 goals, he became the first man to score 4 goals in the knock out stages of the champions league against arsenal and finally he won la liga. Now tell me sneider or iniesta who had a better individual season than messi.

tunnababz: Messi won the Laliga and d Pichichi while Ronaldo won d super cup, was the highest goal scorer in d UCL and decided all classicos.

If it goes either ways, no qualms. But make FIFA pity Ronaldo.

Sepp Blatter just made it clear to us with his preference some days back tho.

lol @ decided all the classicos. Just twisting facts to suit yourself. The first classico was 2-2 , they both scored 2 goals apiece but messi was man of the match cus of his sublime free kick while ronaldo scored 2 tap ins. The second league classico ended 2-1 and ronaldo came on on 68 minutes and did nothing. One other classico was supposed to end 3-1 until valdez daashed de maria a last second to make it 3-2. Lol @ he decided all the classicos. You forgot to add that messi also won the european golden shoe with 46 goals as the top scorer in all the leagues in europe. He was also top scorer in all competitions with 63 goals. Messi also became the first man to score consecutively against all 19 league opponents. How the fvck did you forget all that?

Muhylonaire: .
Boss i swear na u make sense pass,let them know ooooo...shey make football stop because one stupid dwarf got injured?..i wonder how people dey take reason self

one silly dwarf? Why the insult na? Why insult someone who can pay for your life? Why insult someone whom 99.99999 percent of the world thinks better of,than you? Agbero!

charlesm91: Wonder why y'all pickin' on ronaldo? Is it his fault messi's injured? Ur quick to 4get ronaldo went 2mnths sidelined in his first season n still scored 33. Nxt season, he went on to win pichichi. Madrid cud've well used cr7 injury as a cover up then. Messi has his records n so does ronaldo. Both are phenomenom given the level of consistency they've shown. Its a real pity messi's out bt football waits for no one. Besides, both started the season 2gether with messi firing frm day one while it took ronaldo 3 games to get his rhythm. Messi shud recover quik cos seeing ronaldo on the news wud only make it a one sided affair. I need to see the healthy rivalry btw em go on n on.
Bt...its a gud time for neymar to step into his shine otherwise, madrid may be waiting to capitalise on any slip up

good points u raised. But people are not giving excuses for messi really. It's the other people who are saying that ronaldo should win ballon dor cus messi got injured last nite, as if ballon dor is for october and november. Looking at 2013 all through, even if ballon dor was between ronaldo and messi only, how does ronaldo deserve it more?

naijalodge: Ronaldo is currently la liga and champions leauge top scorer,..messi is this all u could do?

una still de talk, wey una for go hide, shame nor de catch una. In 5 whole seasons Ronaldo could only outscore an injured messi! Shame.

You guys are even arguing hattricks with these f00ls as if a hattrick is the ultimate achievement. Have you heard about 4 goalas in one match? Have you heard of 5 goals in one match? Ronaldo isnt good enough for that. Sit there and be debating hattricks while messi is gunning for 6 goals in a match.

Walspring: Guy i sabi ppl like u well.. FYI let me take u back to CR7 2nd season in la liga do u realise the guy was more outstanding than messi and messi was given the award? Even this previous season messi record does not lift him to be this year world best, if u think messi hogest goal score record he set will be use, u are sitting on a leaf cos that record had already been used in order for him to win last year award. So talk abt another messi record..

If i may ask u, how many hat trick has messi scored in his career?

this one is talking about hattricks. Ronaldo's second season? Waas that not the season madrid got thrashed 5-0? That messi won la liga and champions league , and scored 53 goals on the season with highest of 12 champions league goals? And scored in the final? Guy what are u really smoking?

[quote author=mama-gee][color=deeppink]Sorry, ribery won't win the ballon d'or as he rarely scores up to eleven goals a season.

If the ribery fans are making a case for him because he won the domestic league and the Champions League then I must say you all must be delusional because in 2010 Wesley Sneijder had the best and record breaking year. His achievements dwarfs ribery's season in 2013 yet he didn't even make it to the top three nominees for the ballon d'or.

If Wesley Sneijder could miss out on the top three for the Fifa Ballon d'or in 2010 after winning the domestic league, the Champions league and was in the World Cup final in South Africa, what chance does ribery have?

The Ballon d'or is based on how marketable a player is and also based on goals. Frank ribery lacks both criteria for the award.

What are the chances of someone buying a Fifa video game or merchandise with ribery on the cover as opposed to cristiano ronaldo? probably five out of a 100 chances.

All these things are considered before the award winner is announced. I'm sorry ribery fans, he was rightfully awarded the Uefa Best Player in Europe for the 2012-2013 season with 36 out of 53 votes and it'll just end at that. . .

The Ballon D'or is either for messi or ronaldo, these guys score unimaginable number of goals a season and ronaldo is almost at 70 goals for the 2013 calendar year already, how many goals does ribery have for the 2013 season. . .It's not even up to 20.

Frank ribery has no chance of winning the ballon d'or.[/color][/quote]lol. Messi gets injured and mama shows up. For the first time ever she owns up that MESSI or ronaldo deserves it just because she really thinks meSsi can't win due to yesterday's injury. Don't patronise us. Messi has done enough in 2013 already to win. Ribery or messi wins.

All the yearsa ronaldo has been competing with a fit messi, he was always a loser. But in 2008 and the past 2 months he competes with an injured messi and gets some advantage and we no go hear word again! Someone even had the balls to say that in terms of individuality ronaldo is better than messi. Leaves me wondering exactly how people reason, no wonder our country is still like this, where 5 is greater than 27 and 16 is greater than 19.

Walspring: Guy i disagree with some of ur post here cos if its individual awards messi did not deserve the award the year ronald score more than 6 hat tick in a season, broken la liga records etc.

Well i cant imagine u saying sneider faded award after year 2010 and messi still redhot because 2010 reocords wont enter 2011 records so why u comparing the 2 together. Shey kaka play better after 2007 when CR7 won the award 2008?

I want u to stop being sentimental here even last year in terms of individuality CR7 still pass messi and i can state it for u if u want references. We should stop doing like fifa on this thread because most of us here dont watch back of TV.

the weed you smoke is soooo good. No sticks, no stumps. Snoop d0gg must be supplying you. Tell me the year ronaldo had a better season than messi and let us debate it here and now. All your likes are just bluffing. If anyone deserves ballon dor for october and november give ronaldo. But if this ballon dor we are discussing here is for the entire 2013 why are you mentioning ronaldo here?

Thank God january is close. Let's buy a good big striker and a very strong defender. Or let them keep telling us puyol is our new signing, then we will go trophyless.

6-8 weeks? Worst footballing news I ve heard in over a year. I say again officially we're fvcked! We've lost our extra man. He was always our 2-in-1 man. I wish neymar luck, it's time to fill in those shoes. Get well soon messi.

Bread is multi age al. If there's any word like that. Eaten by all, grandpa, papa, even toddlers. Also it could be eaten as a main meal-breakfast. You want people to buy biscuit?

[quote author=barack_o_handso]Thanks to Villarreal though for holding athletico madrid and giving us a one match loss advantage over them (not that we'll lose any league match this season; YES I see us going unbeaten the whole league season with tata's rotation policy)

Messi should be out for two weeks tops, a positive is that Argentina won't stress him as usual.

Tello was a minus today, it's a good thing we've wrapped up the victory by the time he came on, alves gave away a needless P.K. & song is too heavy. Haba![/quote]haba baracko, song? I hope we have only one song in barcelona? Too heavy? Which of the songs did you watch? The one I watched was awesome And never looked heavy to me. As for tello when last did he kick a football? Not his fault, we call it match rusty. So not good for messi. Injuries are trying to limit this guy's dominance. Injuries are trying to deprive the world of one of it's wonders. I am tempted to suggest he goes out for the season and prepares himself for the world cup but would this guarantee a permanent recovery? Can barca win the treble with him completely? I can't even answer myself! So sad for him.

Messi injured again! We're fvcked. That's what happens sometimes when a player refuses to go down. That was a very bad tackle by the betis defender and messi being the man that he is stood his ground. He could have avoided this injury if only he got out of the surging defender's way.

B00bs are the most overated equipments in man's life. Upon seeing them you want to grab them squeeze them svck them and swallow them. But after all that you realize that there is nothing else to do with them, they not yours and you just have to let them go. No matter the size they not worth 256 mil.
