OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Ronaldo did not win laliga in 2011.

did not watch the 2nd leg against chelsea.
robin van persie deserved his second yellow card.

they also robbed barca in 2014 against ATM in laliga final match to the champion.

He won it with Jose 2011/12. 100 points and 121 goals....

Lol...where did we get the name uefalona?

chiboy1116:
dude where the Bleep do you get your stats from ? Ronaldo has more dribbles than Messi in one game? Even a blind sentimental underwear model fanboy won't believe this , don't just cook up stuff man , how do u expect me to believe Ronaldo is a better dribbler than the best dribbler ever know , when he's not even the best dribbler in his Italy ? Smh



And where do flicks , Roulette get you? He does 5 flicks / skills to get past 1 player , whilst Messi just need to move to get past 5 players . Lol

Ronaldo is not a better DRIBBLER than Messi... I'm just pointing out to youse that ronaldo also dribbles, although he doesn't dribble much again... However that was when he was at man utd that he recorded that dribbling stats if 20 in a match...

Has for flicks and tricks... You can check his records, trophies and stats, and see for yourself...

Everyone with his style of play

ThierryJay:
Okay then. Then dont make it look like it's only CR7 and Pele that have had 4assists when there are many others. I think even Adebayor has had 4assists for Tottenham.

Where is the evidence that Ronaldo's 20dribbles against Benfica is the highest in a single game ever? Read my previous post on this well, does this comparison incorporate the statistics from Ronaldo de Lima, Prime Ronaldinho, Maradona etc?

No it doesn't. I know dinho, maradona, delima , denilson, garrincha, pele, Stanley Matthews, cryuff etc might have had more if stats were taking during their time...

Well Ronaldo 20 dribbles against Benfica in 2006, might not be the highest for a single match though buh it's worth something to people who say he can't dribble rather than saying "he doesn't dribble much again"....

chiboy1116:
dribble ? Lmfao
Free kick? Lmfao
Flicks and skills ? Where does that get u ? He does 5 skills to get past one player .

Ronaldo has more dribbles in a single match than Messi...

Ronaldo still has more freekick goals than Messi.. (Club and country)

What skills of flicks has Messi ever done?? At least we see (Rabona goals and crossing, snake bite, Russian roulette, scissors kicks, scorpion kicks, inverted step overs, chest passing, head juggling, back passing, no look passes etc, from Ronaldo)

chiboy1116:
okay lol , I guess pogba is greater than schooles then and varane is greater than vidic

Let them retire first, and then we compare....

chiboy1116:
and Ronaldo won them the euros innit?

He was Portugal best player at the Euros...

chiboy1116:
seriously ? Di Maria and aguero were the best player at the 2018 WC ? Dude I think conversing with you is definitely going to be a waste of time , cause ur so damn sentimental .

Was Messi the best Argentine player at the world cup 2018... Someone that performed only against Nigeria or what??

eni4real:
What is Toni Kroos stat??
How decisive was him in the whole tournament??
Xavi or Iniesta of 2010 performed better than Toni Kroos of 2014 yet they didn't win the Golden ball!!!

I guess you will say Forlan(whose team finished 3rd in the 2010 World cup) do not deserve the World cup Golden ball??

How come Diego Forlan became better than Cristiano in 2010 Ballon d'or ranking??

Oga Toni kroos was the best player at 2014 world cup... I just gave you the stats.. moreover Messi didn't even make team of the tournament... What else do you want??

Oga forlan was the best player at the world cup na with goals and assists... (2014 golden ball is the only erroneous golden ball I have witnessed)

2010 ballondor ranking was the greatest scam of the century...

eni4real:
According to Jokerman, Pogba is greater than Paul Scholes!!

Giroud is greater than Aguero!

Lol.... Clown

Though... Modric > Xavi (Remember ballondor )

chiboy1116:
which dead team did Ronaldo inspire ? Lwkmd .

Portugal was a dead team... Haven't won anything internationally before....

chiboy1116:
wtf are u saying , Ronaldo is greater than Messi in football , but Messi is greater on the pitch ? Dude ur high as f .lmfao

How can you compare a laliga champion to an EPL, a serieA, a laliga and a euros champion??

chiboy1116:
how many trophies do Ronaldo have though ? I hope u know Messi had more trophies than Ronaldo. I just hope u do .

34-31abi...

Dont worry...we will catch up soon... Remember Juve owns the farmers league

chiboy1116:
aside scoring goals , what can Ronaldo do ?

Assists
Dribble
Freekicks
Speed and Acceleration
Penalties
Flicks and skills

What else do you want??

ThierryJay:
See the above is another instance where you cunningly lied in some instances to sway opinion towards Ronaldo.

Neymar (vs celtic) and Xavi (vs Madrid) have all had 4 assists in a single match. And that's for Barça alone, there will be others from other leagues. Pray tell me, which match did cr7 have 4 assists?

Cr7 is not the player with the most free kicks, you have at least five players ahead of him. Juninho, Beckham, Ronaldinho, Maradona and one of Chilavert/Roger Ceni and Del piero have all scored more F.Ks than CR7.

Most dribbles in a single match? Show the official confirmation/source of this record. For your information, dribble statistics started to be collated in 2006. So you can't even assess the statistics of dribble icons like Maradona, 1999-2006 Ronaldinho, Ronaldo de Lima, Okocha, Denison's for you to say that CR7 has the highest no of dribbles in a single match. By the way, Messi has at least 1,000 more documented dribbles than CR7.

Bro, when you misrepresent facts, then your conclusions become suspect and unreliable.

Ronaldo assists 4 in match against Almeria in 2011 Jose Madrid...
Ronaldo scored 2 and assisted 4 goals... Also noted that match is the highest contribution of a player for goals scored (6) in a match. Messi follows with (5) in a match (UCL goals against Bayern Leverkusen)

Ronaldo records the highest dribble in a match against Benfica for man utd in the UCL game I'm 2006 (20 dribbles). He also assisted Saha for the only goal of the game

I made mistake with most freekicks... I wanted to type for a current active player.....

ThierryJay:
Of course he did. And what does that prove? Was the team of the tournament by CASTROL?

Yep.. infact according to Castrol, Sergio Ramos was the top player

ThierryJay:
That's how you fail exams. Was HE THE BEST STATISTICALLY?

That was the assertion you insinuated earlier.

He wasnt though.... Buh he atleast made team of the tournament

ThierryJay:
Sighs, the thing is all these your imagined robberies are only what you feel. If I were to go your route, did Ronaldo not rob Ribery of ballon dor in 2013? If every fan were to have their choice, you will have different outcomes. So you cannot hold people ransom to how you think they should regard a player without verifiable facts and based on what you FEEL.

Hmmmmm... You are right though

ThierryJay:
You like grasping at straws. Is Castrol higher than FIFA? If it was Castrol that ranked Messi top based on statistics and FIFA gave the award to Toni Kroos, I'm sure you wouldn't let anyone rest with the fact that Kroos won the official FIFA award.

Go and take the golden ball away from Messi if it pains you so much as it obviously is.

In 2018, Messi was the best player for the entire football season based on Opta Statistics, yet he was ranked 5th in the Ballon dor award. I'm sure you didn't go to take up a case for Messi then.

When Iniesta won the award in 2010, was he the best statistically?

Jon Snow you know nothing.

Iniesta was in team of the tournament

Lol... Every football fan knows Messi deserves a world cup or Copa, so no one is pained... Infact we Ronaldo fan respect Messi, buh you guys disrespect Ronaldo a lot, that's why we like to open your nyash outside

This is not the first time Messi is involved in robbing

Sneijder ballondor 2010
Kroos golden ball 2014
Ronaldos best laliga award in 2011 (after winning the league)
Ronaldo forward of the year in laliga (after winning 3 golden boots and also winning UCL best scorer)
Barcelona vs Chelsea 2009
Barcelona vs Arsenal 2011

Too much to say. However Messi is still one of the greatest

Tayor23:
Bros! Never compare Dennis with jj...Did you watch Dennis Bergkamp playing days at all?

Okocha had more ability than Bergkamp, buh Bergkamp was more effective... In terms of individual ability, Bergkamp can't leave jj shoes

How can one who didn't make team of the tournament win golden ball

ThierryJay:
You sha like lying Upandan. But you are a confused soul o. There is no crime in liking Ronaldo, but just twisting every available information into a mumbo jumbo isn't going to help your cause to get converts.

Messi had the highest number of dribbles at the 2014 world cup, he also had at least 2assists and had a hand in one other goal scored by Higuain against Belgium. He was the BEST PLAYER at the 2014 World Cup and no amount of your sentimental drivel can change that fact.

Stop arguing

Castrol, the official sponsor of the tournament, released a team of the tournament based on their Castrol Performance Index, which evaluates player performances through statistical data. The team consisted of the players leading each position, with midfielder Toni Kroos ranked as the overall leader.[103] Lionel Messi, the Golden Ball recipient, finished fifth among forwards and was thus not included in the team.[104]

I’m sure you don’t know who had d most chances created,dribbles,shot on goal in dat tournaments. Tell me wat a playmaker does

Oga James Rodriguez had those stats than Messi, even Arjen robben

anigbajumo:
They all knw being the greatest player of all time is more than staying in the box waiting for tap in but to score incredible goals and assists not just assists by crossing the ball but create chances from middle with mid blowing dribble in that makes ur opponent looks like a fool.

The S.I unit of football is Leo,I knw some fool will say he should leave Barca but av forgotten leo has been playing with different players and up to 7 different coaches with different tactical football approach.

No player ever has won playmaker award meant for midfielders 4x and European Golden boots 4x meant for striker except messi,that alone tells u he is not just a tap in legend like the other guy,Pele and mardona do their magic in just 4_7 years,Leo is still sitting in the throne for almost 15 yrs now, absolutely the greatest player ever.

Ronaldo has been in every team of the season from 2004.... Which is about 16 years from now... So not only Messi....

Incredible goals that can't win best goal award, even in his twisted little laliga

So Ronaldo only assists by crosses??

If ronaldo is a tap in legend, how come he has more assists than Xavi (playmaker award owner) or even Iniesta or ronaldinho

So because Xavi has more playmaker awards than zidane or ronaldinho or lampard, make Xavi better than them?

Ronaldo is the player with the most dribbles in a single match

Ronaldo is the player with the most assists in a single match -4 (shared with Pele )

Ronaldo is the player with the most assists in UCL, Madrid, Portugal, Euros competition

Ronaldo is the player with the most freekicks even not scoring for club in 2 years

Ronaldo scores different types of goals, tap in, scorpion kick, back heel goals, scissors kicks, long range shots, headers, placement, dribbling if goal keeper, weak foot chipping goals etc...

Apart from placement and chipping goals, what other kind of goals does Messi score??

RONALDO IS MORE THAN THE GREATEST GOAL SCORER EVER...

HE IS ALSO A PROVIDER OF GOALS AND A SKILLFULL DRIBBLER

Tayor23:
I'm not, I'm a lover of the round leather game though Arsenal is my favorite team....I watched both of them played in their prime so I know what I'm talking about bro!

Dennis Bergkamp and Okocha, who was more exceptional??
