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

Chai... Na Brazil give you mouth... No worry... Portugal for WC 22

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.

So in other words ...the FA cup is bigger than the champions league since its the oldest tournament.... sense is really far from u.... u win league for Belgium no b sane with person wey win league for England

lol,
You never tire for ur mumu argument & premises. Is FA Cup & a League comparable? m*mu.
Penaldo fan boys said Messi can't win any international trophy including copa America, Messi has won it now,
you have started bringing some stupid comparison.
Guy, Messi don win copa America, the only thing you can do right now since you are so pained is to k*ll yourself. Just hug transformer or take sniper.
This your anything that is not European or Caucasian is trash/inferior syndrome is too much.

Why do people under rate Copa America? Is it because of the low views here or what? To even not list Uruguay and Paraguay in your list is annoying. On head to head stat in world cup, S/A has a better margin than Europe even with the amount of money Europe has. Please let show some respect to South American guys those guys are the real deal. To even think almighty Europe have won world cup twice away from Europe should tell a huge story even with their huge number of participants in the world cup. While South American have won in North America, South America, Asia, and Europe. Guys please show some respect

The thought of Messi winning an Int'l trophy will haunt him after all the unpleasant comments he made about Messi not being able to win outside Barcelona. He was proven wrong with match winning performances. Now that he lacks what to say, ode is trying to downgrade Copa America as if no be continental tournament like Euro & AFCON. Should we now say because Afcon has more teams than Copa America, Afcon is a bigger & better competition even when its obvious an average SA team will defeat the best in Africa? Did Ronaldo play all the teams to win Euro2016?

From the way he thinks, you don't need a soothsayer to tell you he voted for Buhari.

Lol, Remember I told you that you were still gonna say foolish Brazil. Anyway, you are exempted from that my comment you quoted because I've been able to deduce over time that in your heart of hearts you recognize Messi as the Baba

Go and sin no more

That easy and fast? Wow this 35-year-old really proves that age is just a number, huh?

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

Ignorance is not realizing that both Brazil and Argentina were topping this group at some point, despite your supposition that European countries play more games.
Ignorance is not being specific that Nations League was introduced in 2018; yet Europe topped this list even before then. And South American counties have played as much tournaments as European countries within that period (2018-2021).
Ignorance is being blind to the fact that Copa America is played far more frequently than Euros till date, and long before the inception of Nations League.

That being said, go and read up the Elo ranking basis employed by FIFA.

Reality on ground says that since 1954 till date, there has been at least one European team in the World Cup finals.
From 1966, European teams won at least one in every two consecutive editions.
May I also add that each of the last 4 editions (16 years) have been won by European teams.
And wrap it up with the fact that 3 out of those 4 editions had an all European finals.

There has been a power shift coinciding with the dominance of Europe in club football. What you see as underrating is merely a power shift over many years. We should get used to that until anything else changes.

Why I agree with you on some area, don't you think Money, technology and decision making process have always favored European nations? For example only 1 South America and 1 African have ruled football power house (FIFA) since inception till date.

If I go by your analysis, Europe has the highest representative in the world cup and statistics also have it that 4 in every 5 S/America team have always qualified pass the group stage. And two have played against each other from round of 16 at least once in every world cup so let's do the math. What am simply saying is that people talk down on South America football as if Europe have a better head to head record, but that is not the case. South American have a better head to head stats than Europe when it's comes to football.

Just like comparing copa liberatores to European champions league

Kingcalls:
U are the eligible idiot...u want to use that dead weekly tournament that TV stations and sponsors dont invest in... u want it to compare with the Emperor that plays and won the Euros

One of the idiots spotted, now when did anyone compare tournaments? Which tournament were you fools all expecting Argentina to feature in if not the Copa America, abi na AFCON una want make dem play? How is it Messi's fault that Argentina is in South America and not Europe? The dude just won his continent's tournament same as ur Penaldo, any argument as to which one is great is immaterial!!!!
Don't forget, Messi has played in a World Cup final before and as even won the world cup best player award, tell ur Penaldo to at least reach a World Cup Semi final....
Whether you all like it or not, Messi has won an international trophy, if e pain una make una go collect am.

ojaysam25:
So you mean to say messi has played more than 15 copa america since his playing career for argentina which span 15years+

You no get sense oo. I was only trying to make a point as to the fact that the frequency of the Copa is not because of Messi as Penaldians always say, the tournament started as an annual tournament. Though it has now changed from an annual event to like 2-3 years interval unlike Euros and the World Cup. I never said Messi featured in 15 Copas.

Ronaldo of then.lol
