Oga correct yourself. He is not "one of the", he is THE greatest.
He is right, unless you want to start needless arguments. There are few other individuals who also have legitimate claims to that title. It's not measured on a scale

Finally.

One of the greatest men to play football.
Thank you to:

Messi
Diego Maradona
Ronaldinho
Jayjay Okocha
Garrincha
Arantes De Nascimeto - Pele

No player like these men.

The other man in Saudi Arabia is just a goal scorer as we know.
lolz, CR7 can never be in all list, all the players u listed are all human. CR7 is a build machine.

Re: Lionel Messi Retires From International Football by Razzness(m): 6:36pm On Aug 31
At this point it is not contested anymore when Messi is regarded the greatest football player of all time, same way it is not contested when Muhammad Ali is regarded the greatest boxer of all time. Others are free to make their case but the overwhelming majority of people, including professionals in their respective fields and spectators alike consider them to be so.

Congratulations... Leo. You aren't the GOAT BUT your contributions towards football is highly appreciated.. thank you.

One era just ended.
If Ronaldo didnt retire, would you have?

To see your kind may take decades
Ronaldo hasn't retired oga. Messi is even two years younger than Ronaldo and he still retired. That's because he has completed football long ago. Baba even scored 4 goals and made 1 assist in his last match.
Re: Lionel Messi Retires From International Football by geoworldedu: 6:47pm On Aug 31
Messi is even more prolific than Ronaldo.

After carrying Argentina on his back, he was painfully humbled by the Spanish in 2026 WC finals.

At least he won the world cup 🏅 once though twice losing it in the finals 🥈🥈.... that's fair enough.
He won the world cup twice. Except you wanna be specific and say he won the FIFA senior world cup once.

I don't hate or beef Lionel Messi....I admire his style of play though I'm not a fan.

Though in the last WC I didn't want him to win and even celebrated his loss.
