@ 4good. Lets get dis straight once and for all. In as much as i sing ronaldo's praises, i'm also aware of his shortcomings: he flops in d big games and he also behaves like a baby@ times. Not witstanding, all i've bin sayin is dt u guys shud give dis dude some respect: he has played in two differnt leagues wit two differnt managers wit two different mentalities, and he's still on top of his game. No be small tin, bro!! Tsnt dt easy oo!! Premeirship no b small tin o!! Ronaldo himself sed he prefers  la liga. Pele is advising neymar to go to la liga cos leagues like d EPL and serie A are way too uncompromising for his style of play. Back to d basics, wen i talk about xavi and iniesta, aint talkin about assists and goals. I mention dem cos dey are d ones orchestrating barca's style of play:u cant doubt dat cos dey hav shown dat messi aint needed in d spanish national team(wich is predominantly made up of barca plyrs). If messi and cr7 swapd clubs ystdy, do u fink messi wld hav played well?? to la liga cos leagues like d EPL and serie A are way too uncompromising for his style of play.

nothing has changed. . . .

barcelona + ronaldo will beat real madrid + messi.
in a nutshell, messi plays in a much better team but the huge gap is closing fast.

sweetguy10:
Or that big guy that played in nigeria's defence sometimes ago I'm finding it hard to remember his name . That guy's appearance alone looks bullyish .ℓ☺ℓ

Ladugbo mi tin ti yo

Where exactly is this? I remember in the early 2000 when it was difficult to see one Barca fan at viewing centers everyone was a Madrid, Arsenal and Man utd fan

Goldieluks:
Six pack plus Six feet.thank you.

Pidzo:
Surely Messi plays well coz of the players around him that understand him well. Why doesn't he play well when playing for Argentina? Why did Pele say there are 2 Messis, one for Barca and one for Argentina?

don401:
Messi is a good barca player dat has nava shine 4 barca wit xavi on d bench. He is short cnt hit a free kick or corner kick and has proven dat he cnt play 4 any oda team execpt barca. Ronaldo and portugal were very unfortunate nt 2 have won trophies. Evry one knw hw ronaldo hv played 4 portugal during his youth (20-23yrs) nd wat he can do wit d ball. He got speed,dribble,nice headin,good cornner kick. Jst knw wen eva u hear d name ronaldo dat means a complete player which messi isnt. Messi is jst lucky (he shud test Epl tackles)

dey hav messi to thank?? Jst as dey had him to thank@ d last worldcup and @ euro 2008?? Why are u doing dis

dademola:
i kip on emphasizin on xavi and iniesta cos dey have performed consistently for barca and spain, showing d obvious: dey dnt nid messi, bt messi needs dem!!!as i hav alws sed, swap messi wit david silva and see wot happens@ both barca and city. All peles and maradonnas u mentioned, wit d exception messi, all hav one tin in common: dey hav proved dia mettle wit diffent sets of plyrs!!! Messi is a worldclass plyr wit xavi and iniesta!! Period!! Y is it so hard for u to accept d obvious??

dademola:
dats d difference btwn d 2 of us. I only talk about players dt i watch closely. Is it dt u want to start comparing his club and country forms??dt will be sucidal. Can u compare d creativity messi shws @ barca to d one he shws wit argentina??if u decide to do so, it means u obviously 'watch' d game frm tabloids and newspapers. Quater final my left foot!!!! Why are u findin it so hard to accept d xavi and iniesta factor??

dademola:
ehehehehehehheehe!! Like i hav bin repeating since: ADAPTABILITY IS D WATCH-WORD HIA!! Games are won by goals, not attempts @goal, brova. Even if CR7 loves personal accolades, as long as it isnt@ d detriment of d team, no problem. Why Cos he wld give siasia goals and assists, WITHOUT WAITING FOR ROONEY OR GIGGS to b nigerians!!!!messi wld 'try' to assist osaze and aiyegbeni, bt to no avail. Why? Cos 2 certain spanish players hav refused to play for d super eagles!! Siasa wld hav to nationalize 3 plyrs, then!!s long as it isnt@ d detriment of d team, no problem.

that is excactly ma point!! D argument, to me, is who will fit in betta into a team, not who is more decorated or who is betta.we are left wit 2 plyrs. One has proven himself wit 2 different teams and 2 different gaffers. D oda has shown us dt he needs 2 particular plyrs b4 he can perform. Considerin d above parameters,i tink d ansa to d thread shld b obvious!dals. Compared 2 maradona, pele. What r u arguing self? And hey i got alot of my mind too. Holla at me.that is excactly ma point!! D argument, to me, is who will fit in betta into a team, not who is more decorated or who is betta.we are left wit 2 plyrs.

dademola:
ofcourse we hav to leave out age-grade tournaments cos d poster sed super eagles, and not flying eagles or golden eaglets So frm wot u're sayin, cos zidane was an unknown quantity @ dis levels, he aint naturally talented?? Cos henry was an unknown quantity @ dis level, his talent has nw become artificial Hw many more names do u need?? Dis is obviously d height of it all. Guy, face reality: wit xavi and iniesta, messi is superb. Without em, he is, Dnt lemme say wots on ma mind

dademola:
hmmn!! Both havnt performed too well for dia national teams bt ronaldo's goals/game ratio;26/80, is betta dan messi's 17/60.so @ d moment, ronaldo has contributed more to his national team dan messi has done, dude!! Ronaldo has been tried and tested @ 2 different clubs havin 2 differnt sets of plyrs wit 2 different managers who have 2 differnt mentalities and he still performed. We both knw dis is d most imprtant factor for d above thread, bt due to sentimental attachment and a certain obssession for d best plyr in d world, u want to continue ignorin d obvious!!

omar22:
Gosh men, The main fact that Ronaldo did more rolling on the ground than playing at the 2006 wc, flopped at EURO2008 when everyone thought he was going deliver egg shaped trophy, struggled to qualify for south africa and flopped in South Africa, I bet George Weah is rubbish because Liberia got nowhere in football or Jean Pierre Papin who failed get France to 2 world cup is also rubbish,

dademola:
hhmnn!!! Messi has been outstanding for argentina. He single-handedly qualified d team for d last worldcup. He was instrumental in his team's succes @ d 2006 worldcup. @ d last worldcup, he was turnament's top scorer and he also had d most assists. In d ongoing copa america, he dribbled past d whole uruguayan team. Due to all dis feats accomplished wit his national team, he has won d ballon d'or twice. I fink ma facts are correct cos i got dem from STEVIE WONDER!!!!!! Guy, d poster neva sed xavi and iniesta are ready to wear green-white-green!!!!!!ut if you want to win the competition then messi is the man you want.

all that sarcasm is entirely irrelevant and out of context here boi. Messi is trash 4 argentina, good. But ronaldo? He's trash x 10 for portugal. Messi owns his on international and on club level, messi owns him tripple time.

honeric01:
But wait o, why do we like shortivites in Barca? all our midfield + attack comprises of shortivites, even bench self na shortivites, can we ever buy players taller than 6ft? (don't name Ibra o, that one come visit Spain)
