Ronaldo over Messi. Messi doesn’t make the difference in a team like Ronaldo does, especially when the going gets tough.

Dude participated in how many COPA finals before he could win it?

Let me put this to you: if the COPA were a four year tourney like other respectable National tourneys, the midget will still be searching.

When things gets tough like when exactly?

Well, when it matters most, I’ll rather have Ronaldo in my team. To each his own.

Both are excellent footballers regardless.

Oasis007:


Well you are right on COPA, that Tourney has lost its value. Too much of Everything is bad, even AFCON is not played like that...... 5 COPA in 7yrs? Na League?!


I still rate, though slightly, Messi over CR7.

Na 4 in 7 yrs bro, but it doesn't even matter even if argentina had lost it, the "Where is his international trophy gang" would have set everything ablaze, I see CR7 as the best striker of all time but not enough to be arguably the best of all time

4 in 5 years actually...... that's too much nau.

Who made UCL the standard?

Quality-wise, the UCL is the standard unless you are prepared to show me a competition where football is played at a higher level...I will wait.

What about 4 in 4 years Btw most of these complains started after argentina bypassed Colombia, and many expected them to fall against Brazil but God pass them,

Kilishihunter:

Like against Uruguay and Belgium

Oluwa wetin dey occur

Doc...... are you really a Messi Fan?!


Cc Afrodoc2

I am a fan of all them. You will hardly see me slandering any of the G.O.A.T candidates. I really like CR7 as a United great but i think Messi is the better player but the difference is that CR7 got to his level with stronger mentality which means on most occasions he is more likely than Messi to deliver when the going gets tough.

If you call Messi the G.OU.T ahead of CR7 i can't argue that but a CR7 fan says the same about CR7 i can't really argue either. I draw the line at G.O.A.T because i see people trying to sideline O Rei as the generation that watched him play starts to die off. Luckily we have historians of the game like yours truly to remind people that O Rei did live and perform miracles in his time.

If he wins the World Cup next year, you would hear/read he should have won it in his 20s

So why did you ask me if you know the UCL is the competition where the highest level of football is played?

As a Messi fan even i have to confess that you do make a fair point there.

We aren’t even talking about the Knockout goals and all that..if we start, here go scatter.. they should enjoy their glorified Caraboa cup in peace and leave all this GOAT talk.

Competition wey only 10 teams the play, no be juju be that

Top competition in Pele's time was the World Cup. 3 wins in 4 attempts. 75% success rate. Transforming a country that had NEVER won into a juggernaut.

Messi. Playing the Copa CaraboAmerica practically every year. 1 win in 2,894.5 attempts. Transforming a country that was perennial champion into strugglers praying for an ogiri gbamila victory.

PELE..............The G.O.A.T!

Pele was fantastic at all he did too and he maintained it at the World Cup on multiple occasions. Something Messi has not done.

You can't be on a similar level with someone and that person has 3 World Cup victories to your ZERO and you claim you are greater. E no enter.

If we are comparing Messi to Totti or another obviously inferior player it would be different but we are comparing him to players on his general level. It can't be 3-0 at World Cup and you are claiming greater.

This is why it's a logical fallacy to use trophies as the major determinant in discussing a player's greatness.

Pele won three world cups and he didn't even play in one of them, which shows that the Brazil team was so good in a time when international football was not that competitive.

At the period Pele played, the quality of football was not that great so standing out was not as difficult as it is now.

Thank God we have clips of both Messi and Pele and even people who were alive during Pele's time still say Messi is better.

No player has combined scoring, dribbling and passing to such a high level as Messi... that's why he's the GOAT.

Messi isn’t even greater than Ororo and they are coming for King Pèlé.

This is just funny at this point.

Ronaldo has never been the best player in any international tournament and he has played in about ten of them.

Messi has been the best player in four, 4 different international tournaments.

Even before this Copa, Messi was already regarded as the GOAT by the majority of his peers. This just cements that status beyond every reasonable doubt

Let's compare their knockout goals and assists in the knockout stages of international competitions na

You know sometimes how I wish he had chosen to represent spain ahead of argentina in his youth or higuian didn't start against Germany in 2014, probably all these string pullings and looking for any tiny thread to gnaw would have calmed down, If he scores 30 goals, they say he's statpadding against elche and eibar, wins the ballon d or they say FIFA is cheating others, Wins the UCL they say he was carried, Gets dumped out while scoring they say he has always been a fraud and useless player, Gives assists they say it's only goals that matter
Omo La Pulga atomica has really suffered by being held up to a "certain standard" all this while, No wonder most people even rival club fans and Brazilians wanted him to lift that trophy badly
