Thank Messi and Ronaldo is not on the list,at least dere will be peace

Messi is on the list

Greatness was written all over Lionel Messi the day he started kicking football.

This thread is funny now

He scored tonight again

Angelfrost:
Congrats to both player and club!

I wonder what went wrong with Felix since such an expensive move to Spain...! Nigga went down from there!

I pray he regains his true form at Stamford Bridge unlike those who have gone ahead of him.

Diego Simeone team is not for attacking minded player like Felix

chiefolododo:
Martinez was honored in England (Man U) , Cutie honored in Tottenham. But Argentina played France in the final, this would only create rancour and further division in the dressing room. Someone said the number of goals scored by Messi for Argentina in 2022 is greater than the number of goals he scored for PSG in the same year. If he does not increase his number of goals, there may be trouble. Don't forget that PSG have Bayern Munich to play.

Messi is Argentina penalty taker, is he PSG taker?

Proudlyomonna:
Hahaha so na Dubia organize the one wey them do for Athens too abi
I am not doing Ronaldo vs messi all I am saying is that Ronaldo is the greatest Player of the century 2000-2020 no be me give am,no be you give am,no be french give am,no be Dubia give am,na our Oga FIFA give am

which one Dem do for Athens?
Globe soccer award has never been organized nor awarded outside Dubai and that's Why it's nicknamed Dubai D'Or. if you don't know something. Do you even know the category of people that vote in the award? Do your research next time and stop comparing headies to Grammy

Proudlyomonna:
You no even know anything about the award sha
Pele,Maradona,Eusebio,Di Stefano,Marco van bastin, Michelle Platini,Beckenbauer,Bobby Charton,Johan Cryuff,Rivaldo,Lother Matthias and now since 2000-2020 The Greatest CR7 .

You mean the award Mendes and Ronaldo created for themselves? People that award Radamel Falcao the best player of 2012 even tho it's obvious no one come close to Lionel Messi that year. The award started in 2010 and Ronaldo won 12 awards while Messi won 1. Even a fanatical Ronaldo fan will not believe he has been 12x better than Messi in the last 12 years , since you guys can no longer brag with Balon D'Or,the next thing is Dubai Globe soccer award, people wey dey give award to TikTok player of the year,we go soon see Instagram Best player
Just dey Play

Waterlilly:
football is a team work, same thing happen to messi after xavi and iniesta left. when di maria was absent in 2014 final also affected messi.

pls can you explain what happened to Messi after Xavi and Iniesta Left?

Peacecore:
The overrated toddler should have won the match for psg na. Now, dem know who be d papa

Only Ronaldo fans undermine the impact of a creative player in a team.Not to talk of a badass creative player like Messi.

Madups:
oga stop lying about being a chelsea fan.. Only ronaldinho beats prime hazard in this aspect of the game.

no player has completed more dribbles than Lionel Messi in the past 15 years.I don't know what's wrong with you guys

Y'all wish there's someone out there better than Messi in every aspect of the game, unfortunately there's none and that's why y'all have been running to support every goddamn players against him. You aren't even consistent in your argument. It's shameful.
If it's easy to top Goalscoring chart, Playmaking chart and most dribbles completed all at the same time... pls mention only one player both in the past and currently who can do this, I will wait.

900+ Goals
350 Assists
2000+ dribbles completed

Tobijays:
what are you saying! Nobody dy compete with mbappe! Ronaldo was competing with Messi

You think no one is competing with Mbappe when there's one Erling Haaland in Man City also doing what Mbappe does? Bro, there will always be competitions.
Mbappe can't win 7 Balon D'Or, it takes more than just being good, you need top notch consistency for 7 good years.

Tobijays:
how can I compare lol! Mbappe can win 7 balon dor in a role so what the heck! If he leaves this January to Madrid he is winning the next balon dor and on and on and on

if Ronaldo couldn't win 7 Balon D'Or at Madrid, na Mbappe go win ham.
The way you guys suddenly throw Ronaldo under the bus is quite amazing.
Hatred for Messi is making y'all admit Mbappe is better than Ronaldo. The joke is on you

Tobijays:
lol dunce let Bayern knock him out in round 16 for ucl

Bayern will knock Messi out in round 16 while Mbappe will remain in the competition? Rooting for Mbappe to win Balon D'Or but wishing PSG and Messi get knocked out. You guys are confused

Amotolongbo:
You obviously don’t understand what you’ve read and responded to.

What were Messi and Mbappe’s goal stats last season?

Messi has won everything winnable in world football before Mbappe start kicking football.
He won Copa and world Cup against Neymar and Mbappe team, the same people you claim are babysitting him.
A World cup trophy will not put Mbappe in the same category as Messi. Boy still have so much to cover before getting in the debate you trying to put him

OJEEMAH:
You never had a problem when Kane scored 4penalties in 2018 World Cup.

You never had a when problem Ronaldo scored 3 penalties out of 5goals in Euro2020

You never had a problem when Greizmann banged 4 Penalties in 2018 World Cup.

What exactly did they do?

Did FIFA tell Dutch players to make sure their penalties were saved by Martinez right

Did FIFA also tell Coman and other French players to make sure their penalties were caught?

Since you knew what they did, where did you get so much confidence that Argentina would not go beyond round of 16/quarter finals?

You claim Argentina cannot play any European country cos they lost to France and Croatia in the last World Cup.

Shortly before the World Cup, you were all over the place saying Argentina will be taught how to play football by small Poland.

After they dealt with Poland, you had so much confidence Argentina will not escape Netherlands .

Unfortunately, Argentina thwarted your hope then you switched to Croatia thinking its 2018 when they humiliated Argentina.

Have you forgotten how you underrated, maligned and slandered South American countries cos Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay struggled against small European countries like Iceland and Switzerland in the last World Cup?

Did you complain when they awarded 2 penalties against Argentina in the final?

Did you complain when they gave 10mins additional time against Netherlands?

How about when they cancelled 3 goals against Saudi Arabia?

Even you can’t deny the fact that Argentina dominated and played better than Netherlands, Croatia and France.

You should not be replying that troll, you should've get used to his BS by now.
before the tournament started,He was all over nairaland with 100% assurance Argentina will not top their group. The clown came up with his conspiracy how Argentina has been avoiding European teams


I pity who still engage him Sha

NO player has been better than Lionel Messi in 2022. If you have prove, bring it on.

LINTUNE:
dude keep shut...we are talking of who's more valuable to psg as it stands, obviously u know the answer.... isn't It obvious that so far mbampe plays with Messi, Messi would be the one taking all the glory and accolades....mbampe has the potential to win the balondior , if only Messi doesn't make a is effort futile, cos like it or not Messi's FIFA's boy.

Mbappe is in his 5th season at PSG and he's yet to win a Balon D'Or and you suddenly believe this is his time to win it and it's Messi blocking him from doing so even tho Messi has won 2 in this 5 years. The 2 playing together in PSG only make it a little harder for Messi to get this year award, you think he would've been a competition for Messi had it been Messi won World Cup as a Barcelona player? If Copa America is enough for him(Messi) to win Balon D'Or, you think Mbappe stand a chance the year Messi become world champion?
Mbappe won World Cup in 2018 and couldn't, displace a Luka Modric that finished 2nd but you somehow believe he will dethrone Lionel Messi this time


Just dey Play

Argentina game plan since 2019 has been to score first and throw their opponent off balance,it worked for them hence the 34 games unbeaten. They played 15 straight games before the World Cup and they are always the first to score in every of these games.


I don't know where you guys do drop your sense of reasoning

Quodseverismete:
I will not call you mumu, take time and watch Messi style dribbling and that of Mbabe again.

Mbappe style of dribbling is no different from Gareth Bale's, dude is not even in the top 10 dribblers of the last 5 years and you comparing such player dribbling to Messi's who have the most successful dribbles in history. Players like Raphinha, Dembele, Hazard, Neymar, Salah,Heuing min Son,Di Maria dribble far better than Mbappe and there's stats to Back it up.

achimendy:
We don't like talking, because if we talk they'll think we're jealous. In the spirit of fairness, I've been saying it that, messi gets alot of favouritism from top fifa officials than Ronaldo. Starting from the ballon d'or he has won down to the best player of the world cup tournament. The system has not been fair to Cristiano Ronaldo, everything they do for messi is because of Cristiano Ronaldo.

I respect messi because he's of a great football talent, same as Cristiano Ronaldo. I respect them both. But those within fifa governing body should try as much as possible to be fair in their dealings in other to strike balance within the heart of football lovers.

The former fifa president once said outrightly that he love messi more than Ronaldo, that the later one spend more time in a saloon . Just imagine that kind of statement.

Bias fans of messi will never agree to this. But the truth remains the truth.

there's nothing Messi won which Ronaldo didn't win before him( I guess there wasn't favouritism then abi), it's safe to say Ronaldo won everything before Messi,he even played in world cup semis before him,Lionel Messi only beat him in his game and did it better than him. The favouritism you are screaming is only in your Head and nothing more. Since you claimed Messi was favoured, he has won a record 6 European Golden shoes, 8 la Liga Golden boots, creates most chances and provide most assists in the history of football, these are individual feats that can never be manipulated by anyone nor any votes.
Cristiano Ronaldo is lucky to be compared with player like Lionel Messi and that's where it ends. Have you ever seen anyone compare Gerd Muller with Maradona and Pele? Cristiano Ronaldo is just another Gerd Muller, he should be grateful he's been compared with Messi just because he play in the same Era with him.

ukandi1:
Even if Messi had not played, y'all would have awarded him tournament best player.

Was Mbappe not way ahead of Messi ?
What's the point of denying the obvious?
Messi won the world cup but Mbappe was the best player of the tournament.

We understand that Gianni Infantino, the FIFA president is an Argentine so it's not surprising the outcome of this decision to award to award it to Messi

Gianni infantino a Swiss-italian is now an Argentine because Messi win world cup? How low can you guys go?

That was how you accused blatter for a decade..... you guys are disgusting

BigIyanga:
He almost singlehandedly decimated Argentina. If France had Pogba or Kante or Benzema , they would have easily won. Put some respect on his name?

they had all these guys in Euro 2020 and couldn't pass round of 16

emorse:
Shebi David Silva play for Spain for this world cup. Oh sorry, he first Mikel retire.

David Silva still playing in Real Sociedad

Kingcalls:
When they kept on giving them penalties to spoil game.... They made sure they gave them penalty against each of the European teams they played

Oh!!! The penalty is the problem now? I thought we all agreed Messi sucks at taking penalty under pressure and that's why he couldn't win international title with Argentina



You need rest

Kingcalls:
Did u also see what mbappe did against Morocco?? Messi has been too pampered in his career ...no player has ever had it this easy

how far Bros? I thought argentina were avoiding European teams

LesbianBoy:
First I want to say congratulations to Argentina but....


Why was Messi given the best player of the tournament instead of Mbappe? Even if it was given to Messi I think it should have been shared with Mbappe! That is 2 best players of the tournament!


Someone said because Messi won the world cup


Let me remind you all that in 2014 Germany won the world cup yet Messi who didn't win the cup still was given best player of the tournament that year.


This is the reason many people still prefer CR7 because he is not pampered like this. And all his achievements were done with so much hate from even people around


Lalasticlala semid4lyf

highest Goalscorer is not the criteria for choosing world cup Golden Ball,this is one of the reasons I always believe you Ronaldo fans are not always the intelligent type when it comes to football matters, y'all believe football start and end with Just the goals. Davor suker of Croatia was 1998 top scorer yet Ronaldo de Lima won Golden Ball despite losing final to France.De Lima Ronaldo was 2002 highest Goalscorer and won the trophy but Golden Ball still went to Oliver Khan a Goalkeeper.miroslav klose was 2006 top scorer yet Zinedine Zidane won the Golden Ball despite the controversy in the final and ended up on losing side, Thomas Muller was 2010 top scorer yet Diego forlan won Golden Ball despite crashing out in the quarter finals,not even David Villa nor Wesley sneidjer could displace him. Who in the German Squad would you have given the Golden Ball in 2014 ahead of Messi? I guess by your logic,shurlle or gotze should have won it, Lol. Despite Mbappe brilliance in 2018 by coming back with 2 Goals against Argentina round of 16 and scoring in the final against Croatia,these couldn't make him win Golden Ball ahead of Luka Modric who didn't even do half of what Lionel Messi did in Qatar.



I SMH for Una o

oyatainer:
Ronaldo fans cannot see anything Messi did with this average team. He is the leader who at the age of 35 played and won 4 man of the match. All these are accumulated to give him Golden ball. Besides, in 2006 world cup, Zidane almost won golden ball if not for the headbutting incident. Almost everyone wanted Zidane to win it, if Zidane was almost won the golden ball, and Canavaro won it can you please tell me what Zidane did differently in French team other than controlling the game in the midfield. So now compare what he did to many unforgettable moments Messi had in this tournament. Messi ticked all the boxes, goals, assists, chance created, leadership and marketing. In fact, he deserves more than Golden ball for this tournament. Modric no play half of what Messi played in this tournament in 2018 and he won it without people's complain. Why now?

Boss,Zinedine Zidane still won 2006 Golden Ball not Canavaro

UDUJ:
Argentina is a very racist country. They are the only South American country that completely erased all the blacks in their country.

Argentina is also the country where all the evil Nazi generals and war criminals ran to at the end of world war 2 and they still live there to this day.

is that why they don't deserve to win even if they played well?
The Nazis are Germans and responsible for WW2 but none of you come up with this dumb conspiracy when they were in 2014 world cup final. Y'all hailed them as German machines.
What business does football have with who erase blacks from his country? No one owe you guys any apology or explanation. Weak blacks always claiming victims in everything, pathetic set of people.

ogbonti:
And this is what I pointed out and some people here suffering from massive inferiority complex or colonial mentality thought otherwise that I was saying what I said because I was a Ronaldo supporter deflecting the main issue which is a potential racist abuse (because that Dutch player Messi called a fool was most likely a black player) —- Dem never win world cup, Messi don dey call a fellow player a fool, IF dem win nko? they will match people’s heads

Those of you who are too young to experience it or can’t learn from history are the ones supporting Argentina. I remember vividly when Nigeria played Argentina in USA’94 world cup I was there and you need to see how some Argentine fans outside the stadium were mimicking monkey dance because they were playing an African country - This is unacceptable, and I will never support a racist player or the country called Argentina, whose unwritten national philosophy is racism against my kind or those who look like me (black people)


IF anyone here has a problem with what I just said, then that person has a massive inferiority complex and needs psychiatric help!

Wout Weghorst is not a Black player

Kingcalls:
What do u expect when the world cup has been programmed for Argentina and they know it ....

Argentina no dey avoid European teams again?

Where's that Ronaldo troll always shouting Europeans get world cup, I guess his all Europe semi final is still intact
