At least Doc has come out to say Pele is his GOAT due to his world cup exploits...

The others should also boldly drop the name of their GOAT and defend him instead of deceiving themselves that they have nothing against Messi...

As for me, myself and I, Messi is the greatest because he combines goals scoring, dribbling and passing in equal measure, better than any other before him...Until someone can show me a player who scored just as well as he could create and dribble, I remain #Team Messi...

Expert17:
We go celebrate 1 - week anniversary tomorrow.

They should expect more pains

No wahala, I stand gidigba...Messi all the way.

Expert17:
The biggest trophy in South America is Mickey mouse trophy

Rubbish we do read here ehnnn

Na the painment dey affect them.

Expert17:
Even the Olympics, baba chop beating for Iraq

A fvcking disgrace...

Expert17:


Look at Neymar crying after missing out on Mickey Mouse trophy

They'll say Neymar was faking it...

My name is Patrick, I am a proud member of the OleOut gang and TeamMessi...

CapitalCee:
Teams Messi Played to win Copa America. Plus highest goals and assist.

Uruguay.
Paraguay.
Chile.
Bolivia.
Ecuador
Colombia and
Brazil.

Teams Ronaldo played to win Euros. With zero personal accolades

Iceland
Hungary
Austria
Croatia
Poland
Wales.
France (he ran away in the the first 20 minutes)

So which of these line up of teams is more formidable.?

Ronaldo fan boys have no argument

Gbam!

CapitalCee:
Messi won U-20 World Cup as best player.
Messi won Olympic Gold medal as the best player.
Messi Won Copa America as the best player, Top scorer and top assist.
Messi dragged Argentina to world cup final as the best player.

Ronaldo's only lucky Euro win he finished 3rd in group stage consisting of Hungary, Austria and Iceland. He was carried by Eder and Renato. Scored only against farmers like Hungary and Wales.

Since Figo, Rui costa, Maniche, Deco, Cavahlo and Pauleta retired Ronaldo cannnot lead Portugal pass R-16.

Ronaldo played in 2004 Olympics and crashed out in group stage.

Ronaldo Fan boy are saying Copa America is nothing but Ronaldo won Euros by finishing 3rd in Group stage, playing "Superpowers" like iceland, Hungary, Austria, Croatia, Poland and Wales. The only decent team Portugal played which is France, he ran away in the first half for Eder to give him the Cup.

Since the last 3/4 years Ronaldo only score tap ins and penalties agaisnt European superpowers like San Marino, Kosovo, Moldova, Faroe Island, Lithuania, Macedonia, Luxembourg, Iceland and co.

Since them want reduce the debate to cheap bants, baba I endorse your takes, fire on...

CapitalCee:
3 penalties and 2 tap ins. Thats all he does for the past 4 years now

Leave Isaac, he say na only Brazil and Chile dey South America but he forget say na Cavani and Uruguay turn Ronaldo to one popular meme during the last world cup...

GloryIsaac:
Very annoying player

Hope he does better next year like Eder did in 2016.

Ronaldo is really unfortunate to have entered the international stage when he did.

Joined while their golden generation were fading, and exiting while a new one is coming up. Pathetic.

I imagine what he would achieve in that Argentine team, especially this one that Copa America is like every 3 months lmao

So you believe Argentina has a better team than Portugal?

I don't think Messi and Ronaldo will be at the peak of their powers next year, they're already slowing down with age so, they might just underperform...

afrodoc2:
His level has often dropped for country compared to club and this ability to apply said ability seems to diminish in the World Cup.

His ability also diminishes from group stage to knock out stage of UCL. You can check the records.

Messi did his best vs Liverpool and Roma at the Camp Nou but their terrible defence collapsed in the away games...

Messi has dealt with Manchester United twice in the UCL final so, I don't expect that line that his abilities diminishes in knock stage to come from you...

If you fault the Glazers as the number one reason for Manchester United woes then, you should take a closer look at Barcelona's board and some of their decisions prior to Laporta returning to see how useless a Board can be so much so that you'd reserve special praise for the Glazers...From Puyol to Mascherano to Lenglet...

From Zambrotta to Alves to Sergi Roberto...

From Ronaldinho to Henry to Villa to Neymar to Dembele...

From Deco to Iniesta to Coutinho...

I was secretly wishing Messi joins City but he has opted to remain at Barcelona...

Jodera:
Thank you.
In fact, it was even used as a stick against him sef

And now all of a sudden they realize the Copa has lost its value...

If Brazil had won, they'd have been here dragging Messi and calling him a failure away from Barcelona...

Now the narrative has changed from international trophy to world cup...

afrodoc2:
Messi was asked to win the World Cup. Nobody rates G.O.A.Ts by continental titles especially COPA which is the one with the most dubious and ridiculous history.

Is the world Cup the strongest footballing competition in the world?

We are talking about a players individual ability and how he has been able to apply them on the field of play, and that for me should form the basis when discussing who is the best and not team trophies...

TheLequte:
1. Do you rate the U-20 World Cup over the World Cup? That’s the question.

2. If Argentina’s biggest triumph was the World Cup, why are we discussing about an inferior competition? The Nation’s Cup is to Nigeria as the World Cup is to Argentina. It’s their highest honors.

3. I’m not discussing Messi with you here. We’re talking about national tournaments and how useless the COPA has become.

Can you imagine? So because Argentina has won the world cup, they shouldn't strive to win the Copa or any other tournament?

It's like saying Manchester United should only be praised when we win the UCL because that's the top trophy as far as club football is concerned. Does it make sense to you?

The Copa is not useless rather you're trying hard to make it look useless just to suit your underlying agenda...If it isn't an agenda targeted at Messi, why didn't you bring up the discussion before now especially when Argentina failed in their previous tries?

TheLequte:
LoooL. Brazil won the last version of the tourno. No one hailed them here. The only subject of discussion was that they did it without Neymar.



Do you rate U-20 FIFA World Cup?


What is Argentina’s biggest footballing achievement?

Yes, I rate the U-20 world cup and the Olympics...

Argentina's biggest footballing triumph is the world cup win but that was decades ago...

Messi has taken them to a world cup final and has won the Copa with Argentina decades after their last international trophy...

afrodoc2:
Just shows how wretched the competition has always been.

Brazil the top footballing country in the world does not regard it. There were times Brazil refused to send teams and other times they did mini mini mani mo to pick from the registered footballers in Brazil to go there.

When Messi was asked to first win an international competition before he could lay claim to the title of G.O.A.T., what international competition was being referred to? The only ones he can participate in away from the World cup is the Copa which for some weird reason is now trash...The others are of the junior category which he played and won (U-20 and Olympics)...

Since you are saying Brazil doesn't give a damn about the Copa, can we then start rating the Olympics because prior to when Neymar led them to their first and only Olympic title, they have always assembled their best available team for the Olympics...

Even in Nigeria, the mention of Atlanta 96 comes with some form of nostalgic feeling...

I am certain if Portugal wins the Olympics with Ronaldo starring, we won't hear the last of it for days running to weeks and months...

TheLequte:
Ohhh, the UCL was once a 3-year tournament. And premier league champions are chosen once every two years.

You are only talking about the Copa because Argentina won it, if Brazil had won it like you and most others had hope, we'd be greeted to Neymar is greater than Messi chants every morning...

Do you crate the Olympics?

What’s Nigeria's biggest footballing achievement?

afrodoc2:
I wanted UEFA to cancel the final. It was a lose lose situation.

It was painful to watch two of them fight for glory...

96forever:
70yrs old man crying because Pessi is called a bottling dwarf. lololololololololololololololololololololololololol

You just might be older, that I don't stoop low to your level doesn't mean I'm your father's mate...

96forever:
Cry

.

96forever:
Just imagine this comparison ffs!! 70yrs old man.

Please stay off my mention.

LostMyZeal:
Omo...peeps were rooting for Pep to Win the last UCL just to spite Chelsea na

I supported Chelsea on a low key knowing too well that their fans will come here to drag us and they didn't disappoint...

I didn't want Manchester City to win because we'd have lost our only bragging right against City...

LostMyZeal:
Ahh...I know the bold oh

Though normally, you'd think many MUFC fans suppose dey root for CR7 but no way. Man opted to give his peak years to Madrid instead of MUFC. So he can never be forgiven and that's understandable.


Then again, I find it odd that MUFC fans dey support LM10 and Pep

As for your favorite Norwegian, I can't wait to hear what the excuses might be this season

Maybe something more hilarious than "We told them not to have hopes"

For me, I have no reason to hate Messi as I am first a football fan and thereafter, a Manchester United fan...

For instance, I watch a lot of Liverpool and Manchester City games not because I am rooting for them but because I love the way they play football. It's the same with Messi, he plays football just the way I feel it should be played...Another player I really love watching is De Bruyne...

TheLequte:
When last did you watch AFCON? Can you compare AFCON of 2000 or 2002 to AFCON of {{insert last AFCON tourno year here}} ?

Once you start tampering with some stuff and it becomes more available, it’s quality diminishes.

Like the UCL and league football...

TheLequte:
You’re failing to acknowledge that your chances of winning the COPA increases just by the mere fact that it gets hosted almost every year.

Between now and 2016 or so, 5 different squads have won it (not country).

If the COPA were a sensible tourney like the Euros and World Cup, Messi would win it in 2036 (2016 + 5*4), all things being equal.

He’d be close to 50 by that time.

Is the AFCON useless?

Why is it that it's only now that Argentina has won that you guys are complaining? If Brazil had won, will you guys have demeaned the tournament the way you guys are doing now?

I'm sure if it was Argentina who didn't win a single game in the group stage yet qualified as best losers and went all the way to winning the trophy like Portugal did, you guys would have found a way to link it to Messi and how Argentina is favored because of him...

With or without an international trophy, Messi has cemented his place as one of the greatest if not the best that ever did it...

adebayo201:


I don't know why Trevor won't let Patrickmuf rest. Guy go just pick on him as if it's intentional. And I think it's.

The boy is annoying...If he was any respectful, I'd engage him but no, he rather blabs...

Trevor012:
What was your reason in the first place for typing that nonsense

You're still the kid that you are, when you learn how to chat respectfully, I'll engage you.

Trevor012:
Are you the one that made Fifa world player of the year to top Balon dor

If you think otherwise, state your reason and don't question me...

pu7pl3:

Maybe destiny arrives in Qatar, where Argentina and Portugal meet in the World Cup final. There wouldn’t be a single greater story in the history of football if it all came down to that one game. It would be a showdown that would settle a debate that will otherwise stretch forever.

Ronaldo is great player but when compared to Messi, he just about falls short...

LostMyZeal:
Lool... it's a mickey mouse trophy naa boss

Haba ...it took Argentina so long to get their hands on it...shuuu

Like I said: Europeans dominate the big stage.

And for the bold, no be only Nations League Portugal dun win na. You ought to have mentioned EUROS na. But then, you know Euros no be Copa America mate. Nice one

If Brazil and Argentina were European nations, they'd be the ones dominating the Euros...

Euros is the same as Copa America...

onuwaje:
Same Olympics that Nigerians have been celebrating since 1996.o

Bunch of retards

It's shocking seeing Nigerians talk down on the Olympics when in all honesty is the biggest achievement we have achieve on the international sporting stage...

People that won't stop talking about Atlanta 96 are all of a sudden trashing the Olympics...Must be ment.
