APOPTOSIS:

Ojeemah, you need Beer this weekend oo
What do you think?

No worry bro….just be press their necks🤩🤩

Humblesam:

Chairman just stop it already. Messi achieved all these with Argentina.

and what difference does it make?

Point is that the 2 guys are good but would you in all honesty compare Argentina and Portugal in Football Rating?

which part of my comment did I compare Argentina & Portugal or you didnt read what the person I quoted wrote?

How many world cup did Portugal win b4 Ronaldo and how many world cup did Argentina win b4 Messi.

just so you know, after 1993 Copa America and 1986 World Cup triumph, it took Argentina another 28 & 36years to emerge victorious in both tournaments.

So what exactly is your point?

Didn't Madrid win 9 UCL before Ronaldo?

Didn’t t Man U win 2 UCL before Ronaldo was signed?

This line is outdated. Stop using it pls.

It's unfair to keep comparing Argentina with Portugal as a tree can never ever make a forest, give the young man his flowers

One tree could make a forest when Argentina lost 3 Copa America finals and 2014 World Cup final.

One tree could make a forest when Messi was bashed for Barcelona UCL failure.

You guys forgot how he came out of retirement to secure 2018 World Cup qualification for Argentina by scoring hattrick against Ecuador

You guys forgot how won la liga for Barcelona and also took them to UCL semis in the absence of Xavi or Iniesta

But when it’s Ronaldo, one tree cannot make a forest.

Did you make this statement when Ronaldo won Euro2016 and Messi had no senior international trophy?

Erix1600:
CR7 is truly the GOAT because he's proven it in England, Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia. The guy has been consistent all these years. Leo Messi is a very great guy though but he's been unable to make his mark that impressive outside Barcelona FC.

instead of talking with facts, you guys go about misleading people with assumption.

Here are facts👇

Messi won
U20 World Cup
Olympics
Copa America 2x
Finalisima
World Cup

Or 34goals & 30 Assists in 70 games for PSG was a joke to you?

You know the interesting part? He didn’t achieve these with Barcelona which make your opinion completely inconsequential.

Ade1177:
Messi is the most boring celebrity ever!

He is a great footballer

But all other things attached to fame. He is extremely poor

Ronaldo feeds his fans more than just football and handles fame like a Champion

What are Messi fans following him for?

They are in the business of Entertainment and Ronaldo has captured way higher loved Fans than haters

Even if he is no longer as good in football like when he was younger

Boring?

Despite not bn a social media person, Messi is just behind Ronaldo with over 500 million followers on IG. With this, do you really think Ronaldo would see his back if he took social media serious?

Meanwhile, in football where their achievements counts, Messi will be remembered as the only player that conquered Europe and the world with the most individual and club achievements.

Beverlyjean:


Argentina can't loose if dimaria is on he pitch in the final ...

The rate at which you shift goal post shows you have absolutely nothing on Messi but agenda must agend.

Don’t evade the question I asked in my previous comment.

Di Maria participated in
Olympics 2008
World Cup 2010, 2014, 2018 & 2022
Copa America 2011, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2021 & 2024

Tell us which of these tournaments he finished as Argentina/tournament top scorer or player of the tournament.

Was he not there when Argentina struggled to qualify for 2018 World Cup till Messi came out of retirement to score hattrick?

chiefolododo:
Angel is arguably Argentina best player for about 2 decades now

You be confam olodo

Aside scoring in finals, mention one tournament Argentina participate wey Di Maria finish as top scorer or had more assist than Messi.

M

Beverlyjean:


Always the best player for Argentina in evert final they play... Messi na just fraud wey de rely on Di Maria to help him.... every final Messi lost , Di Maria was missing due to injury

just see wetin hatred de make you spew.

Many games were played before those finals and If Messi and others did not push Argentina, Di Maria will not even have the opportunity to score.

Out of all the tournaments Di Maria participated with Argentina, mention one he finished as top scorer or Player of the Tournament.

The bolded, so which Di Maria play 2015 & 2016 Copa America final versus Chile?

Beverlyjean:


Yes...he is being over praised for something that don't make sense .... if Messi joins celtic and he wins the league as expected... u guys will make I seem like Messi did what no one could do and next thing u guys will wanna equate him winning the Scottish league with his rival that won the English league with spurs .... Messi is even meant tk have won that title 5 or 6 times cos his only challenge is Brazil... Croatia will win the copa multiple times if they should also compete in that tournament

Did you just say “his only challenge is Brazil?”

Copa America winners 2000 - 2024
Columbia 2000
Brazil 2007 & 2019
Uruguay 2011
Chile 2015 & 2016
Argentina 2021 & 2024

Euros winners 2000-2024
France 2000
Greece 2004
Spain 2008, 2012 & 2024
Portugal 2016
Italy 2020

Can you now see both tournaments have produced 5 different winners since 2000?

Beverlyjean:


Shows u how useless it is... tournament that don't even play qualifiers to make the tournament

Your problem is Messi not Copa America.

Be bold enough to admit it!

hkidola00:

Beverlyjean:


So why can't u ?? U can stake France that cudnt beat Portugal... Germany France Netherlands Spain England Croatia Portugal Switzerland, Belgium will all comfortably beat Uruguay, then teams like Serbia, Georgia, Ukraine, Russia slovania , Slovakia, Romania, Austra Italy Hungary, Turkey , Denmark will beat them ...
But in copa they only have Argentina, Brazil , and colombia to challenge them ... u know how difficult Euros is, but u Messi fans don't wanna acknowledge it... Holland havnt made it to the final since they won it in 88.. Germany havnt won it since 96 , Italy won the last Edition after 40yrs ... England have never won it and just appeared in their first ever final in the last Edition, France havnt won in 24 yrs ... Croatia that have appeared in 3 world cup semis and a final , have never played an European cup semis ... Belgium have never won it and have only appeared in one final... it took Spain 44 yrs to finally play again in the final in 2008... Germany and Italy have more World cups than Euros ... Netherlands have appeared in 2 WC finals but have only appeared in one Euros final ... England have won the WC but haven't won Euros ... and u wanna compare copa that Argentina have won copa x 5 the number of world cups ... if Nigeria were also competing in copa , they would have won at least 6... while they would not even make it pass R16 in Euros

We are discussing Portugal vs Uruguay, you are digressing to Copa America vs Euro. I’m not having that convo… dont have energy to keep up. Have a great day.

Beverlyjean:


Will u put 1m on Uruguay to beat Portugal or will u put 1m on Portugal to beat Uruguay if u had to make a bet... Uruguay has had their time with Godin, suarez , cavanni ... they have all far gone... players like nunez the blind bat and valverde can't win them nothing

Suarez and others maybe old or way past their prime but tbh, I can’t stake 1m on this present Portugal to defeat Uruguay. I can do that with Spain, Germany & France not Portugal.

Beverlyjean:


6 yrs ago 2.1 ... 2ith portugal having 80% of possession.... even portugal plays Uruguay 10 times , they will beat them 9 times and a draw

Uruguay is not Estonia, Faroe Island or Luxembourg

9 out of 10 indeed….
Fact is, they played twice and both teams with a win.

Try and be realistic!

Beverlyjean:


U are the delusional one ...portugal that destroyed Uruguay in the last WC ... Uruguay that cudnt even qualify from group stage ... apart from Brazil and Argentina, did any of the other 3 South American teams make it out if the group stage ?? Copa na tournament??

that match ended 2-0 IFO of Portugal… stop sounding like Uruguay lost 4-1.

That same Uruguay knocked Portugal out of 2018 World Cup.

Beverlyjean:


Lol...dominate which tournament?? If not for the 6 penalties that was awarded to Argentina in 6 out of 7 games ...they would not have had the chance of lifting the WC ... Brazil was knocked out by Croatia, and Belgium in the last 2 WCs ...these are European nations that have never won anything .. forget Uruguay, they can't even defeat any of Spain, Holland, Croatia, Switzerland...talkless of teams like Germany or France.... Argentina will not even get past the quarters at best ... do u think its easy playing at least 4 former recent world cup champions b4 lifting the trophy... in copa , once Brazil is eliminated, then we all know its Argentina cup to loose , vice versa ...

In the last WC ...Argentina only faced 1 former WC champion and one former European Cup champion and those were the 2 teams that forced a penalty shootout despite Argentina leading by 2 goals in both games ... just imagine if Argentina had to play Belgium in R16, and then England in Quaters , and Spain in the semis and Germany for the final... they will not survive it ... that's why the Euros is harder... for Portugal to win the Euros as it is now , they must beat France, Spain or Germany and then England or the Dutch ... all former World champions apart from the Dutch , who are 3 time world cup finalists ...

The bolded is not entirely true….. it’s not always the case. If England or Netherlands eventually win, they would avoid teams like France, Germany, Spain and Portugal.

In 2016, France was the only World champion Portugal played enroute the finals.

R16 - Croatia
QF - Poland
SF - Wales
Final - France

thesicilian:
Anyone the western media is visibly against, that person must be doing something right

This isn’t politics.

What do they stand to gain by antagonizing Ronaldo?

PaulDasilva:
The obvious fact.
It's inborn.
He didn't have to train too hard or spend hours in the gym.
He was born with it, the same way Merlin was born with innate magical powers (didn't have to wave a wand or memorize countless chants to conjure mind bending spells and pure magic), and the same way Michael Jackson was born to become a global phenomenon.

Almost effortless.

Messi may be a genius but contrary to popular opinion, he works really hard.

Bentacur007:
God did not choose Ronaldo
Rubbish talk

Do you have inferiority complex?

Why drag Ronaldo into a conversation that does not concern him?

Peacecore:
No peace will ever e for the wicked. They're very wicked for comparing the GOAT with an asun

😂😂😂

ThierryJay:


What!

I'll call you bro. So sorry about this.

Your narrative will not make any difference coz he didn’t win Copa America & World Cup with Barcelona.

Almiron:
Sorry about that boss. May God rest his soul and He will keep you guys safe. Pls accept my condolences.

Amen 🙏

Thank you my brother

blowjohn:


But Messi has only done well in Barcelona.

That's the issue.

Outside barca he hasn't shown that greatness

That’s not true!

Take a good look at his personal and team achievements outside Barcelona and without Iniesta and Xavi.

You are probably carried away by lies peddled by Ronaldo fanboys.

Ask them to mention one international tournament Ronaldo won MVP.

ThierryJay:


OJ where have you been bro! You don japa abi

@topic. Another compatriot of Pendu has seen the light. Next thing na for Baba to unfollow straight.

No mind me bro. I still de naija. After losing my Kidbro🥲 the past few months has been tough for me and my family. I just de on a low.

To unfollow no de hard am but you kukuma trust Mourinho, e no send anybody.

Ramirezkhay:


I Dy always tell pipu this things!
Messi Dy train hard too but no be by camera and eye service!

Na why he be my goat 🐐

You no lie!

Messi na hard worker

People with in-depth knowledge of football knows Messi is in a class of his own.

Deco was attacked and bullied for saying this👇

“Argentina won the World Cup because they have Messi. For us, Portugal had the best generation of good players, but we don’t have Messi.” he said in an interview with Argentine outlet TR Sports.

Another fearless Portuguese and former Real Madrid head coach just confirmed Messi’s superiority.

Kelklein:
There is no where in the interview where he chose one over one tho... he simply said Messi was the best.

Both of these guys are really best material for me.. Ronaldo is like that student who 'jacks' overnight just to have an A and top everybody in math. I think he overdoes too much.. Messi is like that gifted student who doesn't even necessarily read but still tops everyone in class.

I would also go for Messi tho..🤔

The bolded, What do you understand by “he was the best in our generation?”

At this age and time, nobody should be using “Ronaldo works hard(er)” to score points.

Messi is industrious cos talent is not enough. It’s one thing to be talented but maximizing your talent to reach your full potential is a different thing entirely.

If it wasn’t for hard work, his career would have been like Neymar and Hazard.

To be regarded as an elite free kick taker, Messi must have invested so much time and energy in practice cos he wasn’t really good at it when he started.

And also, it requires hard work to maintain standard for many years.

Back to your student analogy, gifted student reads. The major difference is, they have deeper understanding of a topic/course.
