The guy Ronaldo is an overrated piece of sheet.

Jeferious:
Sentiments aside... it's kinda wrong to compare Ronaldo and Messi: the latter is far better than the former.

CR7 depends on his teammates to clinch some glory. The Portuguese is seriously indebted to other players who have supplied him with assists to bag the goals from time to time,

from the time of visionary Ozil at Madrid to the present era relentless Modric et al. Don't forget the efforts of Marcelo and Carvajal too.

Stifle his suppliers(which is very difficult given their brilliance and ability to outmaneuver from tight spaces) and you'd see an ineffectual CR7.

Messi, on the other hand, is supplier as well as recipient. Where he is not scoring goals, he's laying them on a platter of gold for others. Despite a loss in pace, he's still one of the best dribblers around, and his whole ball game is furnished with alacrity and purpose.

I don't intend to take anything off Ronaldo's scoring technique and off-the-ball movement...both are legendary, to say the least. Nevertheless, soccer fans won't mind seeing him do more than just score tap-ins and penalties. He has fed off other's efforts for some time now. Let him feed others as well continue to be in mad scoring form. Then he can claim he's Messi's equal. It'd be more fantastic if he bring back those tricks he used to beat defenders back then at Man. united.

In conclusion, The Messi-Ronaldo rivalry was created by the European media who would not endure the sight of a South American being better than their own. Thus they hyped the latter up to make it seem like he's the South-American equal. But even some of them e.g. Gary Lineker etc. don't agree with this conspiracy. If Messi was a European, the difference would have been made clear a long time ago. No matter Shevchenko's scoring madness those years, it was a football sin to compare him with Zidane. Of course both were Europeans

When will C.ronaldo reach the final of a world cup let alone winning it? Messi reached the final of under 20 world cup against Nigeria and won. Messi reached the world cup final at senior level against Germany and lost.

Werrin concern me

ericmor:
So Ronaldo delima, rivaldo, amunike, Kanu and Neymar that u know were small when they went for the competition abi? Now I understand

CuteMadridista:
nonsense

If Ron can win a senior trophy with relatively unknown players like Andre Gomes, Joao Mario, Cedric, Danilo. has beens like Nani, Quaresma, Fonte etc You call these players average? what's the meaning of average to you?

Then it shouldn't have be so hard for Messi to win Copa and possibly world cup with World class players like Higuain, Aguero, Di Maria, Dybala, Icardi, Mascherano, Zabaleta etc Only the Argentine attack is fierce. The defence and midfield are(Lemme borrow your choice of words) average. Besides, this is the world cup, the global glory in the game of soccer. Compare that with a continental trophy your hero won...FROM THE BENCH.

also his barca teammates won 2 euros and a world cup without Messi Same goes to Ramos and Isco, Ronaldo's teammates


You're forgetting the brilliance of Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Dani Alves, Jordi Alba, Neymar etc at Barca. You're making it sound Like Messi is playing in Enyima or something Between the two, who benefits more from the help of teammates? who needs it more?

also those Messi temmeates won euros and world cup without him Ramos and Isco again

It shouldn't be too hard for someone of this quality to win WC and Copa with that talented team, all he need do is keep supplying and scoring and dribbling. i wonder why he's finding it hard He has come close on four different occasions. Your hero came close only twice. One he lost, the other he won... from the bench of course


Ronaldo has always been either the top assister in our team every season or up there so this is nonsense, he even has highest assist record in UCL I'd give credit to whom it's due. At least I can appreciate a different dimension of his game. No rebuttal


This sounds disjointed and a conspiracy theory. FYI while Ronaldinho was bossing it no one was brought up by Europeans, neither was anyone brought up during Delima run if 1996-97 but don't let the facts get in the way of your conspiracy theory

Mind u...I don't even watch that shit

Jeferious:
You can't compare media influence in the last decade with what it is today. Besides, Dinho and Delima were heads and shoulders above everyone else then. On the other hand, Ronaldo is clearly giving Messi a run for his money, but his feat on the pitch is not enough to draw a comparison with the South American.

In conclusion, regarding Ronaldo as Messi's equal disgusts me. I know you get the same feeling when I declare that Messi is better. To get a satisfactory answer, do this:

Get a group of toddlers(grownup individuals have formed unbreakable opinions) to watch CR7 and LM10 every weekend, including champs league night. A majority of your "panel of incorruptible little judges" would give you an answer that might shock you

Are you saying those players did played the Olympic or not?

Originalsly:
Bro...I don't really follow football. ...saw Romario... born to play football...... heard of Neymar this Neymar that... saw him...impressed...born to play football....heard of Ronaldo this Ronaldo that.... finally saw him play.....again and again... I'm waiting to be iimpressed.

STILESGANG:
Cristiano Ronaldo should be compared to prolific goalscorers like Gerd muller, Josef bican and ferenc puskas.

When it is comes to the Goat mention. Only 3 players will be in contention and that is Maradona, Messi, pele

Ronaldo should never be mentioned in the same breath as these 3.

A player can never be the greatest of all time by just poaching goals and being useless in other department.

cr7lomo:
Are u serious?? How many great players played that immature tournament...the like of zidane figo Beckman van basten lewandowski totti del piero shevchenko klinsman Raul Owen rivaldo nisterooy inzaghi laudrup even maradona and Pele...that tournament don't define great men
