| Is Messi Truly The Greatest Player Of All Time? by teegrams(op): 12:04pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
Messi has claimed FIFA's player of the year award and the European Golden Shoe for top scorer on the continent six times, a record for each award. But is this enough to be called a GOAT?

He is an overrated fraud. He cannot even make an impact in a league that a 36 year old Zlatan destroyed. The dwarf is a fraud. |

Messi is an excellent football player, but at the same time, he is the most overrated football player of all time thanks to Blatter and the press.... sports commentators all over the world avoided the 2.0 loss to Rennes ... if it were Ronaldo, it will hit all front pages in the world... what they are all saying now is give him time to adjust ... Ronaldo never gets it that easy... they wait for just I little mistake and they blow it out of proportion.... just because Porto scored a freekick against juve , press all over the world blamed him for the loss...but no one spotted that Messi lost possesion 2 times that lead to psg scoring 2 times in camp nou, or loosing possesion 2 times that lead to real madrid scoring twice in the last el classico... Ronaldo won euros , the press said he only scored Hungary and Wales despite those goals being the determinant factor cos those goals qualified them directly... messi scores late goals to add to the goals scored by other team mates fir comfortable victories and they scream he is the reason y they won copa despite not even scoring in the semis and final... but they also said Ronaldo that got injured in the final contributed nothing in Portugal euro win Was given golden ball in 2014 WC despite not scoring or assisting in the whole knock out rounds... he won golden ball for scoring Bosnia, Iran and Nigeria in the group... 2010, 2012 and 2019 balon dor was awarded to him cos he won European golden boot and la liga except 2012.. 2021 Lewandowski does same and they say he doesn't deserve it cos he dint win euros or CL... but messi deserves it cos he won copa, copa that people like suarez , sanchez won back to back , Gabriel Jesus but were never nominated despite having successful tournaments... Half of his international goals are friendlies despite never have scored Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay, France, Croatia, Holland, Belgium, Germany despite playing them all in major tournaments...but were quick to point out that Ronaldo had never scored some of those teams , b4 he proved them wrong yet again... If the press should treat messi just like they treat Ronaldo, Messi will not even win more than 1 balon dor.... go and check out Ronaldo's balon dor records, the difference between him and 2nd place is extreme... infact ,by points , Ronaldo has the highest balon dor points in history ahead of messi.... what they did to Ronaldo, denying him his 6th balon dor and giving it to modric , is something that can never happen to messi ... now look at the press yet again favoring him to win balon dor...is that not a joke ...Now he has joined France thinking its la liga that protected him alm thru his career ... against man city he was crap , apart from that goal, whatelse did he do in that match ...absolutely nothing... but if its Ronaldo, they will say he is only interested in goals |

Even as a false 9 and sometimes a winger, he won 6 European Golden Boots & 6 UCL Top Scorer and also the first to win 4 consecutive UCL Top scorer. Even as a false 9 and a winger, a renowned body like IFFHS still rate him Playmaker of the decade which means he was the most creative player in the last decade. Statistics dey there to confirm if any player was better. 6 Balon D'ors Highest goals scored in a calendar year (91) Highest goals scored in a single European league season (73) Highest goal scored in Europe top leagues in one season (50) He won more Player of the Tournaments Awards than anyone in virtually all the competition/tournaments he participated (World cup, Copa America, Olympics, La liga & UCL). He won more match of the match award than any player dead or alive. One & only Player to win Player of the Tournament, Golden Boot and Highest Assist in one tournament. He is simply the most complete footballer ever........ he scores, assists, dribbles and also creates. only Maradona comes close in this regard. Pele and Ronaldo are simply goal scorers but Leo does absolutely everything. without water in my mouth, i say he is unarguably the GREATEST PLAYER to ever play the round leather game. |

Ronaldos self confident in his ability been percieved by the media as pride is the only attribute that has stopped him from winning more individual award. The balor d hor modric won, the best uefa goal salah won ahead of his overhead kick, are some of the awards that was stoled from him. Messi is been depicted as humble and ronaldo as arrogant so any award in which ronaldo is 60percent guaranteed to win he lose at on it. He only wins when he is 100% guarantee of winning or when the football body percieve their bias and try to write the wrong. We all have our preferences but ronaldo will always be remembered in both club and country football for aeons as he is the Napoleon of football. |

| Re: Is Messi Truly The Greatest Player Of All Time? by unbitchable(m): 6:37pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
ojaysam25:Ronaldo is the only fraud in the history of football whereby FIFA had to extend BallonD'or voting date after scoring a hattrick against Sweden in WC qualifie, so that the old fraud would win.. When other serious countries had already qualified long time ago. When Messi and Argentina had already qualified and Messi leading him for the BallonD'or. |
