Noted. Kindly point out the positions of this 8 non-minnow South American teams in this Top 20 teams in comparison to the European minnows. This is despite them having played in more continental tournaments than their European counterparts in recent times.

Ignorance
Europe play more matches than any other continents. With the introduction of nations league, that's more points to improve their ranking

ThierryJay:
Yes CR will be the greatest only in your mind and that of your fellow cerebrally challenged colleagues.

But to the world at large and official football system, Messi will forever be regarded as number one and that is what truly matters and not the inconsequential opinions of deluded myrmidons. I know it hurts but your opinion doesn''t truly matter in the scheme of things.

Before the Copa, he was already regarded as superior by the majority. After the Copa, his status as GOAT now stands formally cemented. FYI, in the Copa Messi scored only 1 p.k and 3 beautiful goals and not 2 p.k and 2 goals as you lying dunderheads are yapping about.

If South American teams are average how come all the following teams have dumped almighty Portugal with Ronaldo out of FIFA competitions and friendlies in the past ten years:

Uruguay
Chile
Ecuador
Peru
Argentina

You see your life? I know the intense pain you guys felt at Messi's triumph is enough to make you go haywire and that's exactly what we re seeing.

More tears please

Google doesn't recognize Messi to be widely regarded as the greatest but you think anyone that doesn't worship Messi hates him or is pained by his earnings



What else??

Guy no dey talk trash. So portugal is the only European team you know. Remove Ronaldo from Portugal, and you will have nothing left. Ronaldo is portugal. Without him they can't do shit. And don't even bring last Euro into this cos we all know they were lucky to win France without Ronaldo.

Now comparing South America to Europe shows you know nothing about football. The almighty Brazil was trashed by France and all they could say was that they were given food poison.

Same France met them again and f ucked them up. I thought they would say it was water poison that time around.

The truth is that Europe is the World when it comes to football.

Now size up Argentina and see that without Messi they can still be a formidable force. You have:
Angel Di maria
Dyabala
Aguero
Palacio
Romero

So shut the f uck up. CR7 is the best and will always be, now and forever.

What is the meaning of Google doesn't recognize Messi? Is google a sports authority that has its own opinion on the subject or merely a presenter of information provided by other sport websites for you to pick what to read? Please ponder on this very well before you engage me on it again.

You don't have to worship Messi to acknowledge him. I know several on-ground Real Madrid fans who acknowledge Messi as superior to CR even before the Copa win and without worshipping him. That's the point. That you do not worship Messi does not mean you should deny the obvious fact that he is better than CR, an opinion shared by majority of sport experts globally. I reference the official football ecosystem because any random fan can even say Iheanacho is better than Messi and there's nothing anything can do about such gutter opinion.

Dear, it's high time you all realize these two players can't and shouldn't be compared, if you ask Messi he'd tell you how great Ronaldo is and if you ask Ronaldo he does or says nothing but the same , both players will go down in history, Messi for his exceptional style of play and Ronaldo for his records and goals, they are entirely different, I'm a big fan of Ronaldo cause I just love the man and his commitment to the game, but then I respect Messi because I believe he's a talent and he is football, you won't see players like those two in decades to come because they are special!!! you can keep arguing but fact remains the fact I love Ronaldo and I adore Messi.

Obembet, nice one from u, tanx for saying the truth. The truth is that all these arguments won't b in the first place if both fans could jux appreciate them nd respect them. Buh, the truth b told Penaldos fans re troublesome; they started these whole shenanigans in d first place.
Well, i appreciate Ronaldo too. I was never a troll, i never trolled Ronaldo, buh i joined the trolling game wen i noticed how toxic his fans were 2wards Messi. Pls, endeavor to school ur fellow Ronaldo fans,especially, the ones on nairaland to drop the bitterness. Its not worth it. Lets all enjoy the game cos they will b hanging their boots soon.

Ur a very funny, sorry to say buh it's obvious ur luv for Ronaldo has pulled a wool ova ur eyes, else, how can u say a Portugal witout Ronaldo is notin? So u meant to say players like Benaldo silver, Bruno Fernandez, Jao Felix, Diego Jota,Pepe, Renato Sanchez, Ruben Diaz, Andre Silva, Jose Fonte, Joao Cancelo, Joao Moutinho etc re not gud players abi? Wow

U goofed again by calling an aged Aguero, a Palacio that is relatively unknown, a Romero who is a bench warmer, a Dybala that ur Penaldo killed his career eva since he moved to Turin a formidable force Re u sure u watch football? Abi na livescores master u b?. Compare Argentines players to Portuguese players nd tell me whose player is doin well in their respective clubs.

Okay then, just the same way you cannot prove that Cristiano is better than Thierry Henry or Ricardo Kaka @the emboldened. In fact I put it to you that both players are greater/better than Cristiano - shebi make we all dey ment together

HellVictorinho:
False
Ronaldo has many assists and chances created
The difference between Messi's chances created and that of Ronaldo is negligible.
Messi also hustles for goals selfishly
Nobody can score without selfishness
Messi competes with everyone that plays football
If you think Messi is the unit of football, that's your cup of wine
I don't hate Messi!!!!!!
There is nothing you can say to prove I hate him!!!!
But he's just human and I can never worship any human being!!!!
I don't even believe in God (s)

I agree with you, Messi/Ronaldo shiits just like everyone. Only inferior minds worship celebrities. A lot of such are out there all over the world.
If you don't believe in God, then I even expect you to be less sentimental and more frank with your judgments.

In terms of selfishness and self-centeredness, if you say Messi and Ronaldo are the same, then where's the fairness in your judgment?

Messi/Ronaldo assist difference is tangibly more than Ronaldo/Messi goal difference.

Funny enough, Ronaldo got into football earlier than Messi and has more appearances. Therefore if we want to Judge them with the same scale, Messi would even have more goal-per-match ratio than Ronaldo. Interesting!

Come to think of it, for Ronaldo, the goals are like his ending point but for Messi, the goals are like his starting point, because what he does on the field, his magnificence on the field is even far more relevant than the goal topic.
Even if we still stick to goals, the way Messi scores his goals most times are like wonders of the world.

Messi is just too much. Ronaldo himself knows this for certain, that why he keeps using all his energy on goals.

I'll always pick Ronaldo outside the field but on the pitch, Ronaldo is not even close.

By the way, why don't you believe in God?

Ronaldo wey Dey dribble go throwing. Ronaldo cannot make top 50 dribblers in the world.

Cannot make too 100 passers in the world

Lol, why did you evade my question? Are you not intelligent enough to answer? While I agree that Europe is the power-continent of football because football orginated from there and it has more number of enlightened countries relative to S. America, please tell me why almighty Portugal with Ronaldo has failed to beat any of the supposedly average S.American teams in the persons of Chile, Uruguay, Peru, Ecuador and Argentina. Once is an anomaly, twice can be a coincidence, but three times? Nahh, let alone a whopping 5 times which shows there's a definite pattern.

You must answer the question o.

Thank you for this
It is high time the world appreciate these 2 guys cuz I can't stop imagining how Football world will be when they retire
They never retire we don dy say ''see as this one play ball anyhow ......if na CR7 or Leo that ball na goal''.
That alone is something we should appreciate them for.

Some of Penaldo fans they argue like people wey no near school, they argue witout fact, no direction, no substance, no cohesion. Them they argue like garage boys. Nd if ur not careful u will find urself stepping down to their level while trying to school them.

Their matter na special case. Some will even resort to insults like touts nd thugs wen they gat no valid points again.

Argument is gud cos u learn a thing or two, buh it becomes a menace wen its devoid of truth value nd simple reasoning.

My brother e tire person o seeing as dem give us plenty work to be upgrading IQ of CR fans upandan. But it's a task we must accomplish nonetheless not minding the temporary mental step-down they rub-off on us .

And to them, just because you are coming from a place of deep pain doesn't give you the license to ejaculate all sorts of unreasonable statements just in a bid to get back at Messi. It rather makes you appear unhinged and lacking any credibility; a joker of some sort that's sweet to watch but not to be associated with by friends and foes alike.

Concerning God, there's no definition of that term that makes sense to me


Case closed!!!

"Flop" in Argentina

Kikikikikiki , I quite understand it's hard to accept defeat. On a serious note, your last few comments is the most polite I've seen this your moniker engage with a Messi fan. Is it Messi's Copa win that finally humbled and imparted you with some decorum . And pls don't get me wrong, it will do you a whole lot of good image laundering for this your moniker if you keep this up .

Alright then buddy.
Another person might choose to disagree that Messi and Ronaldo are footballers.
It is a fundamental right of each person to choose what to agree with or disagree with. It is an unconditional right in life regardless of facts or falsehood or reality, we can always choose to agree or disagree otherwise.

Same way, no one can be sure there's no definition of the term, 'God' that made sense to you. There might have been, while you only decided to disagree otherwise.
You're that kind of person, buddy.

Congrats christaino u re good but messi is d G.O.A.T��

I don't even see anything special about Copa America, imagine the cup played by just 8 teams compare to cup that played by 32 teams.

Agentina can not win France, England, GGermany, Italy, Portugal etc. Euro played by professional teams not Peru or Bolivia or Ecuador.

Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Paraguay can not even qualify for group stage not to talk of the Major Matches.

Apart from Chile and Brazil, is there any better team In Copa America?

Bro check your stats and come back for this argument. Copa America have 14 countries. Europe have 54 countries. In world cup, Europe has the highest team representing them. Copa have just 5 teams yet they dominated till 2002. Head to Head, South American have a better record than Europe.

To not add Uruguay to the list is an insult to football

Kingcalls:
Winning the euros is more like winning the world cup cos European football is world cup...the rest of the continents are just there to complete numbers.... reaching final of a world cup no follow ...winners are all we know .... infact messi has played that tournament 8 times and uts a shame he just winning for the first time ....

Guy abeg stop dey embarrass yourself. Get some sense. comparing Euro to world cup just dey too stupid. No matter the media coverage or the much liberal officiating regarding fouls & protection of players when Euro get over Copa America, Euro no dey superior. Copa America na more than 100 years old trophy & football longest running tournament.
The fact say u when dey naija no dey watch Copa no mean say other people for other parts of the world no they watch am.

Congrats to him.
