Ronaldo switched his game when it became obvious dat goals were giving Messi d edge 2 win Ballon d'or.. Even Players as skillful as Quaresma, Talisca, Ben Arfa, didn't make d list.. Messi can't do half of d dribbling n skills Ronaldo does.. Go back 2 his Videos wen he was at United n his early Madrid days.. He is a far skillful n better dribbles Dan most of d ppl on dis list.. I believe d list is based on d current style of play..
You're high on cheap weed. grin There has never been a time in his life Ronaldo was half as good a dribbler as Messi. Ever. There is a reason people have compared Messi to Maradona since he was 17. If anything, Messi doesn't dribble as much as he used to when he was younger. He's far more economical in his movement and even looks lazy at times playing at walking pace. Messi was an absolute livewire devil on the ball when he was in his teens and early 20's. The kind of goals he regularly scored beating multiple defenders before beating the keeper were stuff Ronaldo could only dream off.

I don't argue football with babies n inexperienced ppl.. It's obvious u started watching football recently.. 4 u 2 say Messi is more skillful Dan Ronaldo..Messi can only dribble, but not very skillful.. Even talking about dribbling.. Douglas Costa, Riyad Mahrez, Yannick Bolasie, Talisca, Cabella, Dusan Tadic,.. Are better dribblers.. When it comes 2 all round skills (Footworks, juggling, dribbling, trickery, body movement) .. Ronaldo beats Messi n all doz I mentioned except Quaresma.. Stay off my posts.. U know nothing..

I don't know what you mean by "skillful". I spoke about Messi being a far better dribbler than Ronaldo which is evident to anyone with eyes and an understanding of the game. This means his balance, nimble feet, technique and close control of the ball makes him far more adept at beating players. The funny part is they are not even close enough for comparison. grin If by "skillful", you mean the nonsense step-overs (abi leg-over as we like calling it in Naija) that Ronaldo likes doing, Messi doesn't do that because he keeps his game simple. He can do it all in his sleep if he chooses:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=messi+juggling+skills

The article is about dribbling which is defined as the ability to beat a player while retaining possession of the ball. Not about who does the most step-overs. To say the players you listed there are better dribblers than Messi shows you up as a comedian. Better start watching something else for entertainment. Football is clearly not for you. grin

kinzyeWriter, same whole people like this guy I'm quoting and the guy he quoted too... I wonder if they read and understand at all... sad sad sad Calling it fake list when the method of calculation is spelt out. Others summarize the post in a trivial statement of asking the essence of dribbling as if the ball just jumps from the goalie's post to their cr7 to tap it in, as if it isn't strings of passes, dribbles and other things that conjoin to bring the goal scoring chances their cr7 converts. They're actually pathetic and can weaken as they've done to you.
Who asked you to tell a story?

You can only talk this way if you are too young or unexposed to know Christiano Ronaldo in his teenage years. I have always juxtapose messi and Ronaldo at 17. knowing that Ronaldo is two years older, he was 17 in 2003 while Messi was 17 in 2005. in 2003 Ronaldo dribbling skill and talent earn him an undisputable position in sporting lisbon and his fame encapsulated the entire portugues league. He was just 17, and portugal could not have fancied a player for possessing dribbling skill unless he lived up to his billing because during those period, portugues league was known to have some of the most gifted youngster( quaresma,nani and a host of others). Go and search about his exploit in portugal, his fame was too much for a 16 years old. In 2003, still at 17 he was bought by man united and instantly made it into the first team. As for Messi, he was 17 in 2005 and the height of his career was under 21 world cup. I saw the tornament and Messi was not yet a larger than life figure. his dribbling skill was far below what ronaldo commanded in 2003. He also sat out his time in Barcelona bench and played in the reserved team. Do any of know that Ronaldo was awarded the best player in europe under 21 tornament in 2001?

These Ronaldo fanboys are highly delusional. grin
I watched the very pre-season friendly match for Sporting Lisbon against Man U that got Ronaldo signed up. I watched Ronaldo's debut Premier League match against Bolton. I remember the first time he played against Arsenal (I'm an Arsenal fan) and he messed Ashley Cole up. I've watched every phase of Ronaldo's development as a footballer. He has never, ever in his life been as good a dribbler as Messi. I've observed many of you here don't understand what dribbling is. You think those step-overs he copied from the likes of the original Ronaldo de Lima, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Denilson etc is what makes a great dribbler. Ronaldo was certainly a good dribbler at Man U, particularly isolated one-on-one with a defender because he was tricky and had pace. Messi was a whole new level. He was the demon that could embarrass an entire defence and score.
I remember when Ronaldinho recieved his 2nd FIFA world best award and he said "I'm not even the best player in Barcelona". Few people understood what he meant. I understood the very first day I watched Messi play.

This thread is not about who is the better player. I think it's comfortably Messi, but that is a matter of personal opinion, cos I'll admit Ronaldo really impressed me with his crucial goals for Madrid and Portugal over the last 3 or 4 years. Messi being a better dribbler than Ronaldo is NOT an opinion. It is evident fact anyone with eyes and an understanding of football can easily discern. Easily. It's not even close enough for comparison. grin

Mr. man I can bet my last penny you never witnessed those moment you try to take credit for and your response to this argument clearly showed. Anyone who care should go and get a clip of Ronaldo debuts match in Manchester united and come here to show in evidence where Messi could muster such a quality at 17 Some people, out of their ego driven nature will always attempt an alternative route to a flawed argument. Even the thread obviously should not have created a prolonged comparison between Messi and Ronaldo because it highlighted the current form of active players and not the past, and any die hard fan of Ronaldo should realize that he had lost more than 80 percent of his skill. But coming here to debunk the claim that Ronaldo was more prodigious than Messi in his early day is nothing but foolhardy. Does anyone care to understand that in 2004 Ronaldo was an integral part of Portugal national team that made it to euro final but two years later in 2006, Messi was not even at the world cup

You can "bet" whatever you want. What's my business?
I'm not sure what "evidence" you're asking for. What would count as "evidence" for you?
Messi and Ronaldo both made the FIFA FIFPro world 11 for the first time in 2007. With Messi being 2 years and 4 months younger than Ronaldo. grin So much for being "prodigious". I'm not sure what you keep rambling about when Ronaldo was 17 He moved to Man U at 18. At 18, Messi was ripping teams to shreds in La Liga, but he had a lot of injury problems. I remember he missed Barca's CL final against Arsenal in 2006 because he was injured. And went into the 2006 World Cup recovering from injury, but still played 3 matches. Contrary to your claim that Messi was not even at the World Cup.

And I'm not sure why I'm getting suckered into irrelevant arguments to the thread. The relevant thing is Messi has always been a better dribbler than Ronaldo. By far. By an absolute chasm. It is not close, has never been close and will never be close.
Ronaldo doesn't do shiit like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ3Z0wHPzSw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5afVn9N1e7o

What's winding me up here is getting suckered into comparing what is not comparable. Ronaldo is an outstanding footballer. The best in the world over the last 2 or 3 years. One of the best footballers in the whole of football history. He has his strengths. Supreme athleticism. Great movement. Great in the air. Two-footed and strong even on his weaker left foot. When he was younger, he was even a fantastic dribbler.
But Ronaldo has never been in Messi's class in dribbling. Ever. You can compile their dribbling stats every season on Whoscored.com. Messi always batters him hands down. This shiit is not even close enough to compare and it's embarrassing to be arguing about it. Anyone with eyes who understands football cannot compare Messi and Ronaldo's dribbling ability.

You may take the missed 2006 world cup as an error. I saw that Montenegro match and I remember he came on as substitute and scored the last goal in a match argentina had already won 5-0 convincingly. What I infer here is that Messi was not a relevant part of the squad as his few contribution were late substitution from the bench, meanwhile Ronaldo was already the pillar of Portugal national team. I'm giving eye witness account here and talking from Memory.

You may reckon with this, it was culled from an authoritative source in WIKIPEDIA

At age 16, Ronaldo was promoted from
Sporting's youth team by first-team manager László Bölöni , who was impressed with his dribbling.[19] He subsequently became the first player to play for the club's under-16, under-17 and under-18 teams, the B team, and the first team, all within one season. [16] A year later, on 7 October 2002, Ronaldo made his debut in the
Primeira Liga, against Moreirense, and scored two goals in their 3–0 win. [20] Over the course of the 2002–03 season, his representatives suggested the player to Liverpool manager Gérard Houllier and Barcelona president Joan Laporta. [21][22] Manager Arsène Wenger, who was interested in signing the winger, met with him at Arsenal 's grounds in November to discuss a possible transfer. [23]
Ronaldo came to the attention of
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson in August 2003, when Sporting defeated United 3–1 at the inauguration of the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon. His performance impressed the Manchester United players, who urged Ferguson to sign him. [24] Ferguson himself considered the 18-year-old "one of the most exciting young players" he had ever seen. [25][26] A decade after his departure from the club, in April 2013, Sporting honoured Ronaldo by selecting him to become their 100,000th member.

out of point , we are comparing ronaldo and messi dribbling ability and you are typing all these , nobody argued about ronaldo ability at young age , the point his , he was never a better dribbler than messi , it was never close like how people quickly call his united days whenever argument comes about their dribbling skill

Re: Ronaldo Missing In 2018 Top 100 Dribblers In The World [view Full List] by Sundayjoko: 3:14am On Mar 06, 2018
I woulda been on ghost mode but I just had to comment

First thing we all need to understand is these guys are two different footballers with Messi being an awesome playmaker, has an acute eyesight for passes, can dribble on an awesome level and also score goals but Ronaldo has more accuracy, aerial prowess and techniques to be a forwarder and score goals better not to mention he has a better goal conversion rate.

Now for those who say Messi creates chances and still scores goals please u have to understand he is a playmaker he only scores goals because he can dribble into the defence.Ronaldo on the other hand is a better goal scorer, he creates chances not to assist but to score, check his goal ratio since he was transfered to Madrid its way better than Messi's.

Now for those who say he only scores tap ins and penalteas�� I'd like to ask Morata has Willian and Hazard play making for him yet he can't score goals, Suarez had Messi and Neymar play making for him yet he couldn't convert most of his balls to goals, Lukaku has players like Mata, Martial yet he can't score even the least sensible of goals.... I could go on with the list, now these forwards have amazing playmakers yet they aren't the best strikers and u blame a player who does it so amazingly well?
Funniest thing is if he misses the goals u troll him, he scores u troll him

Note that their playing style is different Messi loves to dribble into the defense, Ronaldo needs half that time to find his space to score yet he can't dribble or make accurate passes like Messi

To end this it all boils down to choice.. Somewhere out there, Neymar is someone's world best and u cant convince him otherwise. Leave the rivalry and enjoy what nature gave u inform of Messi and also a person whose hardwork and determination got him to the best of the bests list.We might never see another like these two so enjoy it while it lasts and understand the difference.

Who know George Best, or have heard about him. He was arguably the most skillful player in British isle. A contemporary of Pelé, Eusebio and Bobby Charlton. He was one of the first British footballer to win balón d'or. He was not the type that accept comparison easily but he had this to say about Ronaldo
"There have been a few players described as 'the new George Best' over the years, but this is the first time it's been a compliment to me."

STILL ON WIKIPEDIA
Manchester United
2003–06: Development and breakthrough

Ronaldo made his debut in the
Premier League in a 4–0 home victory over Bolton Wanderers on 16 August 2003, receiving a standing ovation when he came on as a 60th-minute substitute for Nicky Butt .[34][35][36] His performance earned praise from George Best, who hailed it as "undoubtedly the most exciting debut" he had ever seen

your correction was swallowed by your loutishness..

You think crossing out an entire post for one word that doesn't even distort the message will get you that needed attention?

Seriously?
don't be ridiculous, i struck-out the entire analysis because it reeks of hate & somewhat incoherent. And your attention, Really?? Are you OR somehow related to Bill or Mark...

I joined this thread not in an attempt to compare Ronaldo dribbling skill with Messi. No reasonable Ronaldo fan should currently put him in the same class as Messi in dribbling. I was irked to respond to some who know little about history, yet right off Ronaldo as good for nothing opportunist who only score cheap goals.,As for your insistence that messi has always been a better dribblers, I beg to differ.
Who were you responding to that said this? Cos it's certainly not me. Are you now imagining things?

You "beg to differ" because you're delusional and have no understanding of football. As I said, it is embarrassing to be "debating" something so obvious to anyone with eyes that understands the game. No universe has ever existed in which Ronaldo's dribbling was in Messi's class.

So you think the response in this thread is all about you? I can see you fail to break lose from an ego that way you down. Grow up man. The fact presented here are incontrovertible

Mr Man, you've just used hard-earned time to list stats that are all about goal scoring. Say something else at the least. undecided undecided
What is the most important thing in football if not goal, continue dribbling n keep losing goals. Who will remember you for the amount of dribbles you made after retirement but the world will keep remembering the amount of impact (goals) you made

now he's speaking for Ronaldo! shocked

what an aggressive , protective fruity dork this girl is!!!

He measures life with football! What a way to show one's lack of understanding!

From a pretentious logician to a world-class star-struck flunkey in a heartbeat.

I envy the effortless transition
