Astark:
see this clown he didn't deserve it abi? You think FIFA are only interested in goals and assists, Messi was a complete playmaker during the world cup.

When Messi wins something, get doesn't deserve it but Ronaldo deserves it abi.

I'm tired of going back and forth the truth is most sane people recognize Messi as the best

Did he playmaker better than James Rodriguez or Toni kroos or Arjen robben at that world cup??

Tayor23:
remove okocha and gattuso they were not exceptional in their playing days

Okocha was not exceptional? Gattuso?

Are you a Barca fan?

ElasticStone:
Are these the "average" teams you are talking about?

1. Portugal
2. Man U
3. Real Madrid
4. Juventus

Argentina > Portugal

Barcelona = Man utd

Barcelona > Juventus

Barcelona < Real

Astark:
2014 he was world cup best player
2015 and 2016 he was Copa America best player

2018 he was Argentina best player in world cup.

What has ronaldo won internationally without his teammates stepping up?

2014, that he didn't deserve but given as a consolation? 4 group stage goals only? When someone had 6 goals and 2 assists with the best goal of the tournament or one that won the world cup with 5 goals buh not given ??

2015 was Messi only deserving
2016- no record of this
2018- Di Maria and Aguero

Ronaldo played 3 finals for Portugal and has won 2..

2004- he was best young player of the tournament and was in the team of the tournament

2016- Portugal best player at the euros

2018- Portugal best player at the world cup, was in the world cup team of the tournament

2019- 2nd best player at UNL

Portugal highest goals scorer in European competition

Portugal and European highest assister in Euros competition history

Okocha is a better player than Mikel, buh why is Mikel greater than Okocha??

Now see Ronaldo, he's always the best as he wins trophies ....

If you call Ibrahimovic or Anelka here, be sure to tell us their Individual trophies compared with cr7

Astark:
when you ronaldo fans talk like this how won't people choose Messi? Keep blaming him for his team failures while he was the best in those tournaments

2007?
2014?
2015?
2017?

He was only the best player in 2015...

So say something else.. or should we blame Higuain??

Seems we have new Messi mods here... Always pushing Messi news to front page these days

Cristiano is greater than Lionel Messi in football, on the pitch of play Messi might be better due to the way he plays and the team he plays with, moreso he's finding to replicate such success for country, playing four finals and losing all....

We all know

Coronavirus: Pastors are not ordinary people, anyone who assaults a pastor is in danger – Pastor Chris Oyakhilome

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has warned against the arrest and assault of Pastors amid the outbreak of Coronavirus in the country.

The founder of Loveworld Ministries a.k.a Christ Embassy said this while reacting to a report of Pastors being arrested by government officials in a bid to enforce social distancing in churches.

Narrating a recent incident which played out, Pastor Chris recalled how a member of a taskforce boasted about arresting a Pastor.

The Christ Embassy Founder said;

“He was excited he arrested a Pastor. Terrible! But he is not the first to arrest a pastor. Jesus was arrested and Jesus was doing what the people didn’t want Him to do and the Apostles did what they were not allowed to do. The Government said, ‘Don’t preach in this name anymore’. They went on preaching. Right?! They arrested them.

"So it is not enough to say, well, if you do what the Government say not to do, then we have the power to arrest you. Arrest! That Pastor was not the first person to do what Government said don’t do. When I heard of it, I didn’t judge him because what if he was praying and that was the guidance he got?"

Pastor Chris who stated that those who arrest Pastors are in more danger than they can imagine, added that Pastors are not ordinary people.

He said;

“Let me tell you, it is not everyone that will take some of the steps that we might take. Not everyone. The Holy Spirit knows exactly how He wants things done. It’s up to Him. What I’m always saying is that, anybody who assaults a pastor is in danger.

“He is in more trouble than the Pastor. Pastors are not ordinary people. If you like you can call them ordinary men, that is up to you, but the Spirit that works with them, when that Spirit is fighting you, nobody can help you. No amount of prayer, no one can help you.

“It is only people who say they are Christians that fight ministers of the gospel. Others when they know, they remove their hands, He is a pastor. They shift away, but the one that is a Christian is bold, he enters the church. So, if you are a pastor and they assault you. Don’t feel bad, you are not the first, don’t feel bad. But, for the rest pray for your pastors, remember to pray for them. Never condemn a pastor. Never. Don’t ever do it. Don’t do it. Don’t join those who do it. Don’t! Keep your mouth to yourself.”

Amen sir.

David said, "far be it from me that I touch God's anointed".

Many people who think they can insult pastors can continue...the Lord Jesus Christ and the apostle passed through such however you can never stop us from preaching the Lord Jesus Christ...

Hallelujah

Better.

Now is the time to repent and come back to God

Watching some classic wrestling matches too

Become Barcelona greatest first before you call yourself goat along with your fans

Fans over on Ranker have been casting their votes to name the club's greatest ever player and you can view the top 30 below. Amazingly, Lionel Messi is only in third...


30. Luis Enrique
After playing for Barcelona's arch nemesis Real Madrid for five years, Enrique managed to turn himself into a Blaugrana legend with his tireless performances between 1996 and 2004.

Enrique in action for Barcelona
29. Rafael Marquez
A key man during the Rjikaard era. The Mexican excelled at both centre-back and in defensive midfield for Barca.

28. Marc-Andre ter Stegen
On course to become Barca's greatest ever goalkeeper. Ter Stegen's signing from Borussia Monchengladbach has proven to be a masterstroke.

27. Luis Figo
One of the most talented players to ever play for Barca, but his move to Real Madrid in 2000 seriously soured his reputation among the Blaugrana faithful.

26. Ivan Rakitic
The Croatian has received a lot of criticism during his time in Catalonia, but he's been a very decent servant. Not many player could attempt to fill the void left by Xavi and do as well as Rakitic has done.


25. Patrick Kluivert
A fine, fine striker at Barca. The Dutchman scored 123 goals in 259 games during what was a tough-ish era for the club.

Kluivert in action for Barcelona
24. Gheorghe Hagi
A very surprising entry. While Hagi is renowned as one of the finest attacking midfielders to hail from Europe, he did very little at Barca during his two seasons at the club between 1994 and 1996.

23. Laszlo Kubala
A true Barca legend. Between 1951 and 1961, the Hungarian striker scored 131 goals in 186 games, an astonishing return.

22. Deco
Like Hagi, Deco's inclusion here feels more based on his reputation rather than his time at Barca. He was decent at times, but a player of his ilk should have set the world alight in Spain.


21. Michael Laudrup
What a player. A key man in Cruyff's 'dream team' that won four La Liga titles on the spin between 1991 and 1994. However, he did leave for Real Madrid in the summer of '94 after falling out with Cruyff...

20. Victor Valdes
The man Ter Stegen will have to usurp as Barca's greatest 'keeper of all time. Had it not been for the legendary Iker Casillas, Valdes would be a bonafide legend on the international scene as well.

Valdes in action for Barcelona
19. Hristo Stoichkov
The Bulgarian beast! Stoichkov's 247 games for the Blaugrana yielded a whopping 114 goals. He was the focal point of Cruyff's 'dream team' and his partnership with Romario was jaw-droppingly good.


18. Romario
He may have only spent two years with Barca, but what a two years they were. In 65 games, the diminutive Brazilian scored 39 goals. Him and Stoichkov in the same team should have been illegal.

17. Ronald Koeman
World-class defender for years and scored the winner to seal the club's first European Cup. Not bad Ronald, not bad.

16. David Villa
A key figure in Guardiola's all-conquering team, but one of Barca's 30 greatest players of all time? It's a tough one, but the fact Villa ranks so far ahead of Pedro Rodriguez is odd.

15. Rivaldo
The best player in the world for a number of years at Barca. That hat-trick against Valencia still beggars belief to this very day.



14. Samuel Eto'o
What a striker. Eto'o and Ronaldinho together was pure dynamite, with the Cameroonian scoring 130 goals in just 199 games. Barca should never have sold him to Inter Milan in 2009.

13. Sergio Busquets
A truly extraordinary defensive midfielder. Busquets has been at the base of the team for years and has calmly orchestrated the greatest era in Barca's history, an iconic footballer.

12. Dani Alves
Possibly the greatest right-back of all time and the winner of no fewer that 24 trophies with the Spanish giants.

11. Luis Suarez
Suarez's brilliance with Barca is arguably underrated. Part of the famous 'MSN' trio, the Uruguayan has 191 goals and 108 assists to his name in just 270 games. That output is outrageous.

10. Gerard Pique
An elite defender and a mainstay during Barca's most successful era. He's still one of world football's finest to this very day.

Pique in action for Barcelona
9. Neymar
Neymar ahead of Suarez? Interesting. The most expensive footballer of all time was electric at Barca, scoring 105 goals and assisting another 77 in 186 games. But surely Suarez should be ahead of him, no?

8. Ronaldo
Has a player ever made themselves so popular with a set of fans in just one season? No, no they have not. Between 1996 and 1997, Ronaldo scored 47 goals in 49 games, before moving to Inter Milan.

7. Carles Puyol
Captain fantastic. The greatest defender in Barcelona's history and a leader of men. Finding a replacement for Puyol has proved mighty tough, with the club still searching.

6. Xavi
We may never see a player like Xavi once again. The central midfielder made the game look so easy and he recorded a whopping 22 assists during the 2008/09 La Liga season alone.

5. Andres Iniesta
Iniesta with Barcelona
An attacking midfielder who didn't need to score or assist to be the best player on the pitch. The type of player that comes along once every 50 years, a true phenomenon.

4. Johan Cruyff
A world-class player and a revolutionary manager for Barcelona. The club's playing style is still based around Cruyff's philosophies to this very day - a genius.

3. Lionel Messi
Third, THIRD?! Possibly the greatest footballer of all time in third?! Disgusting scenes. It's not like Messi has 888 goal involvements in 718 games for Barcelona...

2. Ronaldinho
The Brazilian is one of the greatest players of all time and he defined the Rjikaard era at Barca with 94 goals and 71 assists in 207 games. But ahead of Messi? Absolutely not.

1. Diego Maradona
How on earth has this happened then? Maradona is a legend, don't get us wrong, but even he would admit his two years with the Blaugrana were sub-par. If this list was ranking Napoli players, he should comfortably sit atop of it. But in terms of success with Barcelona, Maradona probably shouldn't even make the top 20.

Words don't affect me... Infact in my line of businesses, you go hear tire

Especially when you block people from cheating, fraud and stealing

Righteousness89:
My Sister, This is Proper Mis-interpretation of the Scriptures!

Don't Just pick one Verse in Reading the Scriptures. You Read from the top and also the bottom to have a Clearer Understanding!

The World has fallen away Big Time! The Man of Sin has also Revealed himself! It's Just that Many Believers are Sleeping!

The Saints whose Names are Written in the Biok of Life will not be here during the Great Tribulation.

The Great Tribulation is a 7year Period of the Reign of the anti christ! By this time , The Grace of GOD will not be on the Earth any longer.

At that time , the Antichrist is Given a leeway to Torment those who have Missed the Rapture.

The Great Tribulation is not for the Saints whose Names are in the Book of life.

Careless belivers who missed the Rapture will be Here to face the antichrist . They will have to pay with their blood if they are toMake it!

Don't Confuse yourself sister! Antichrist and his agents have Revealed themselves World over..

They are only Waiting for the Saints one taken away for them to Officially take over..

Hmmmmm..... I try to read Matthew 24 over and over... It talked about the tribulation before the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ

Barca fans.... Remember marca is a Spanish and Messi dick sucking paper

Timoleon:
It is not about comparison it wether or not they were also rans before he came. It’s like saying etoo put Cameroon on the map in afcon. They were already a feared team but with etoo they became better. Argentia were South American giants, former world champions on two occasions. You could say Maradona restored glory not that he introduced it to them.

They won the world cup once with Kempes in 78... Lost the final in 30. Maradona made Argentina a team to reckon with in football

Spanish outlet Marca has allowed fans to have their say in declaring the greatest footballer in history.

They set-up a voting World Cup to judge the 16 greatest players ever.

Round of 16

LIONEL MESSI (78%) vs (22%) Ferenc Puskas

Eusebio (17%) vs (83%) ALFREDO DI STEFANO

Franz Beckenbauer (17%) vs (83%) RONALDO

Michel Platini (8%) vs (92%) PELE

DIEGO MARADONA (60%) vs (40%) Ronaldinho

Lev Yashin (8%) vs (92%) JOHAN CRUYFF

ZINEDINE ZIDANE (82%) vs (18%) George Best

Paolo Maldini (27%) vs (73%) - CRISTIANO RONALDO


Quarter-finals

LIONEL MESSI (70%) vs (30%) Alfredro Di Stefano

RONALDO (53%) vs (47%) Pele

DIEGO MARADONA (67%) vs (33%) Johan Cryuff

Zinedine Zidane (44%) vs (56%) CRISTIANO RONALDO


Semi-finals

LIONEL MESSI (52%) vs (48%) Ronaldo

Diego Maradona (41%) vs (59%) CRISTIANO RONALDO


Finals
Lionel Messi (46%) vs (54%) CRISTIANO RONALDO

Meanwhile, Brazilian Ronaldo comes in third with Maradona in fourth.

Timoleon:
Stop with the false arguments please. They had won two world cups before then, lost a final too.They weren’t newbies.

Can't compare Mario Kempes with Diego

Timoleon:
As a coach I don’t think you’ll pick okocha before any of those you are laughing about. And I guess you don’t know about the others either. Football is however a game of opinions so we both have rights to our opinions.

I understand what you are saying bro...I was speaking from the perspective of individual talent not end product

Astark:
same way media reported Ronaldo is converting his hotel into hospital and other lies ronaldo media spread.

That's reason people call him PR product.

Those medias you listed don't deal on stats and facts, they post news.

The one I posted is the most reliable based on stats

I just gave you two links now from credible sport sites.... (Sportbible and givememessi)... Ok search for it on YouTube then...

Timoleon:
Maradona zidane figo zico iniesta Xavi cryuff Platini modric rivelinho seedorf Lampard ronaldinho pirlo scholes jairzinho George best, di stefano, puskas

When you talk about an all round contribution to a team I think okocha will be severely benched by most of these guys up there. If your team were leading 4-0 you might sub okocha in to entertain the fans.

Lol... Only two midfielders 3 midfielders are worthy to stand okocha from you list..

Maradona
Zidane
Ronaldinho

The rest....lol... Xavi, Iniesta, Modric (really), seedorf... lol

I tire mhen.... This stay at home gan..... I have spent more than my wife and we are both working

Oga stop embarrassing yourself... Even givememessi.com attested that Ronaldo completed 20 dribbles the match against benfica in the 2006/2007 UCL match.

That year Ronaldo came 2nd to Kaka and he bagged 23 goals and 21 assists

The team won the trophies..
Consistent doing what exactly ?
What records and what did he deliver that those teams never had before he came?

When last did Man utd win the UCL before Ronaldo??
When did any player from EPL win FIFA best ?

When last did Madrid win the UCL before he came??

When he wins it with Juve, same thing you'd say

Can you say what Barca as never won before Messi??

gibzzhd:
The beauty is that Messi is even the player with most assist.He assisted a penalty to suarez.can you beat that?
who else can do that?

Ronaldo has done that for Benzema too na.... You people make it as if Ronaldo doesn't assist yet he is Madrid's highest assister in history just in 9 years
