In life you can't have it all. Life itself is full of up and down moments. As great as Ronaldo Delima who won many trophies with Brazil including World Cup, he couldn't win the Champions League which players like Daniel sturridge won recently despite playing for almighty Madrid filled with super stars. Jay Jay okocha as good as he was never won the African footballer of the year award which fringe players like Adebayor and El-hadji diouf won.


Many of you trolling messi's predicament with Argentina are doing so due to high expectations and unimaginable standards he sets for himself. He's a victim of his brilliance no doubt but never forget winning trophies is not exclusive to a player effort. Football is a team sport but i wonder why you all blame messi when he has been unfortunate to be with paper weight team mates. An injured Ronaldo won the Euro cup due to the fighting spirit of the Portuguese players (credit to Eder) after Ronaldo led them to finals with his goals. Same as the recent nations league which guedes delivered and Bernardo silva emerged best player.


Ronaldo is the arrow head of the Portuguese team no doubt but his team mates deliver when he's not in charge, unlike messi whose team mates are big names on paper but play terribly despite his efforts to inspire them to glory. Higuain missed 3 decisive one on one chances against Germany in 2014 finals before gotze scored, chances fringe players like guedes and Eder converted to win Ronaldo the international trophies you all troll about. Everything in Argentine football must not be delivered by messi. It's a games of 11 players so why place the burden on only messi as if Portugal fields only Ronaldo against other teams? When Elder and guedes scored to win the trophy when it mattered most, you guys ignore their efforts and give all praises to Ronaldo. When Argentina team plays badly even if defenders scored own goal all blame goes to messi. Haba guys, what level of hypocrisy?


This is not to defend or absorb messi of his involvement in the failure of the Argentine's team to win a major afterall he missed a penalty against chile in previous Copa finals, but i think we are too harsh on him with unreasonable criticisms.

I hope Majority of you guys criticizing him have achieved all you desire in life? I hope there is nothing again you which to achieve or conquer? Can you have it all in life? No. Even Atiku with all his billions stills dreams of being a president. You can't have it all. Ronaldo is fortunate to be in a team with winning mentality, unlike messi. Despite all Cristiano Ronaldo has won in his career, he would also wish to have a world cup medal which players like Giroud won without scoring a goal. There is always something left to chase and achieve. Despite all this challenges It doesn't dispute the fact that messi is indeed amongst the greatest players to play the game.


Had he naturalized to spain like diego Costa during their golden era of winning euros and world cup, this debate of who the greatest is would have been buried. Even if Argentina wins this year's copa America, you Ronaldo fans will still troll messi to win another international trophy to match Ronaldo's two. Nothing messi does will ever satisfy you people.


He's a victim of his brillance. Simple

When you speak on Messi, speak it with respect and deference.
I see it is travesty that Ronaldo is put in the same pedestal as Messi. Messi is way way way ahead of Ronaldo.
It's a big insult to say Ronaldo is better because he had won 2 trophies with his national team forgetting trohpies are team achievement
Not with national Team but with different clubs and his national team , Messi is just a Camp Nou Scam

Football is a team sport madam. At least he scored one why couldn't his team mates step up to score too? Must it he messi all the time? The two trophies Ronaldo won with Portugal in finals was delivered by team mates when Ronaldo couldn't score in both finals. Argentina team is rubbish. All they have is messi and he can't do it alone

Messi fans are selling the story that he is a football god, are they not? A god that constantly fails? Do you know how many times Messi haa failed the Argentine team? Was he not the one that missed a penalty at the Copa America finals against Chile and then abandoned the team after he cost them the cup? On that alone, they ought to have exiled him from the team.

He should learn to step up when it matters, he always bottles important games. In Barcelona, Neymar eas saving his asss at some points, and later Suarez, in Argentina, the world can see him better. This is the football god that chooses when to step up and when to leave things to his team mates.

Ronaldo is an enigma, his charisma, his body language, his high Cocaine spirit, his double barrel attitude, his gingering mood can give a dead team vibes.. his eyes can make you do the imaginable, one thing Messi lacks, but you won’t blame Messi, he is cancer, July born, very emotional peeps, they get down and change mood easily, get pissed easily, signs is against Messi, when on the losing side Messi can’t finger and ginger his team, he lack communication with his players, watch Liverpool and Valencia. I wish he had the charisma of Ronaldo or aggressiveness of Tevez, leadership of Ramos, never say never of then Sanchez . he would have won the worldcup then

Well uv made ur points.
But u see, u failed to point out something.
Ronaldos penchant for scoring without assists.
His eye for the ball is unparalleled in football history.
And that's why crosses into the box 18 r always a nightmare for the opponent if Ronaldo is around.
If u watched the UEFA nations league final match between Portugal and Netherlands, ud notice that Ronaldo came close to scoring up to 5 goals with his head alone inside the box 18.
Those kind of goals reduce the need for assists or team work in sports.
Maybe he should be rechristined an Eagle becos of the way he swoops for the ball.
Jay Z once said :
Don't be good my nigga
Be Great.
Messi is good no doubt. Messi is better. In fact he's the best.
But Ronaldo is Great. Ronaldo is Greater. Ronaldo is the Greatest.

Constantly fails?
If been the highest goal scorer and having the most assists for Argentina is failures then I doubt you have a knowlegde on football. If having to win the U20 & Olympics with Argentina is failure you definitely is incoherent on this subject maybe you should switch to cricket or golf.
If Messi scoring an Hatrick to qualify Argentina to the last world is failure then you obviously is ignorant about this guy's greatness.
If Messi being the only player to have Player of the Tournament in every international football tournament is a failure I guess your MCM would want that failure.
If Messi has led his team to 4 back to back international finals is a failure I know many players who wished they had that luxury of playing in a world cup final LoL cheesy

You are speaking like Messi isn't performing when he's on the Argentina shirts. Why blame Messi for Argentina's failure? Would he defend, goal-keep, score, create chances, assists and score at the same time?

Your knowledge in football is so poor dude. Football didn't start 3 years.

I don't know who is in charge of this Argentine team. Since before the world cup, I noticed that despite having good legs like Aguero, Di Maria, Dybala, Icardi etc., this team either fails to play them or benches them for most part of the game. How can Aguero, in his current form, not play in the first match and sit on the bench for most part of the second game? How can Aguero be replaced by unknown forwards? Where is the great Dybala? Where is Icardi?

This team is set for failure with their impolitic squad selection. Who is playing politics with the squad? Messi can't do it alone. He needs other players as football is a game of eleven on each side.

BTW, I am happy that Messi many not win the Copa America. He can't eclipse my GOAT — C. Ronaldo!!! cheesy

Had he naturalized to spain like diego Costa during their golden era of winning euros and world cup, this debate of who the greatest is would have been buried. Even if Argentina wins this year's copa America, you Ronaldo fans will still troll messi to win another international trophy to match Ronaldo's two. Nothing messi does will ever satisfy you people.


He's a victim of his brillance. Simple

Football is a team sport madam. At least he scored one why couldn't his team mates step up to score too? Must it he messi all the time? The two trophies Ronaldo won with Portugal in finals was delivered by team mates when Ronaldo couldn't score in both finals. Argentina team is rubbish. All they have is messi and he can't do it alone


It was a penalty. Any body could have scored it

Too many individual players but few team players in Argentina..
Why are they fond of benching Aguero? from their previous coaches to this new one...
.
.
No winning spirit in this team at all, very lackadaisical set of players..

Constantly fails?
If been the highest goal scorer and having the most assists for Argentina is failures then I doubt you have a knowlegde on football. If having to win the U20 & Olympics with Argentina is failure you definitely is incoherent on this subject maybe you should switch to cricket or golf.
If Messi scoring an Hatrick to qualify Argentina to the last world is failure then you obviously is ignorant about this guy's greatness.
If Messi being the only player to have Player of the Tournament in every international football tournament is a failure I guess your MCM would want that failure.
If Messi has led his team to 4 back to back international finals is a failure I know many players who wished they had that luxury of playing in a world cup final LoL cheesy

You are speaking like Messi isn't performing when he's on the Argentina shirts. Why blame Messi for Argentina's failure? Would he defend, goal-keep, score, create chances, assists and score at the same time?

Your knowledge in football is so poor dude. Football didn't start 3 years.
case close we are taking goat messi to market next week

This here is the bitter truth.......His abilities seems to be diminishing with age but in his mind he is still the Messi of then.

P.S There is a time for everything under the sun, seems only Ronaldo gets the Memo.
Well said. That's is why he needs to help others evolve.. he needs to be a model for his team to follow... Ronaldo does well in that aspect, mpampe and other young stars look up to him.
That is why the world will remember Ronaldo than it will for Messi in many years to come

Paraguay and Argentina delivered an intense match at Mineirao, but neither side was able to top the other. Goals from Richard Sanchez and Lionel Messi structured a 1-1 draw that doesn’t help either side on their quest to secure a spot in the knockout stages.

Cagey, ineffectual start to the match

Neither side looked comfortable over the Mineirao’s grass, as evidenced by the fact that neither squad created a clear scoring chance in the first 15 minutes. The beginning of the match was cagey, and it seemed neither side was finding spaces in the opposing final third. The biggest “moment” early on was the injury sustained by Derlis Gonzalez, although the attacking midfielder recovered following a cut on his forehead and remained on the game.

However, Argentina took control of the match starting the 18th minute and La Albiceleste moved the lines forward and began playing near Roberto Fernandez’s goal. However, they lacked sharpness in the final meters and the attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Giovani Lo Celso and Roberto Pereyra couldn’t muster anything even remotely dangerous.

Paraguay’s late wake up enough to grab the lead

The first real scoring chance came in the 29th minute and it was for Paraguay. Derlis Gonzalez charged down the right flank and sneaked his way into the box, but his shot came wide following a deflection off Nicolas Tagliafico. Gustavo Gomez won in the air following the subsequent play and Gonzalez once again ended in a good position to score, but his effort went wide.

It seemed things would end scoreless at the break, but Sanchez had other plans. The central midfielder came out of nowhere and blasted a right-footed shot following a cross from Miguel Almiron that went out of Franco Armani’s reach. Argentina couldn’t wake up following that strike and in fact, Paraguay looked closer to add another goal during the remainder of the initial 45 minutes. All things considered; the first half ended with a surprising 1-0 lead for Los Guaranies.

Messi steals the show after the break for Argentina

Argentina started the second half with a different approach and a substitution, as Sergio Aguero replaced an incumbent Roberto Pereyra. The move paid off since Argentina quickly equalized with a well-taken penalty from Messi, although the play had several question marks around it since many experts believe that shouldn’t have been called. Wilton Sampaio called stood, however, and the FC Barcelona star buried the ball past Fernandez to even things up.

Paraguay could have recovered their lead when Otamendi committed a penalty of his own in the 62nd minute. The Manchester City centre-back made a harsh, coming-from-behind challenge over Gonzalez, but Armani denied the playmaker’s attempt from the spot. That miss lifted Argentina’s spirit and Lautaro Martinez could have scored the go-ahead goal, but his close-range header in the 65th minute went over the crossbar.

Argentina tried hard, but they couldn’t complete the comeback

Argentina sent Angel Di Maria onto the pitch looking to spark things up in the final third, but the PSG winger once again struggled wearing his country’s shirt. Paraguay decided to sit back and play on the counter, perhaps knowing the draw would still allow them to depend on themselves in the final match of the group stage.

As a result, La Albiceleste monopolized the possession and the scoring opportunities in the final 20 minutes of action. Aguero and Messi took a prominent role in the build up of play, but the lack of spaces certainly hurt their chances to create chances. In fact, Paraguay came closer to score in the 84th minute with a header from close range, but the play was ruled out due to a previous offside.

Argentina had several changes down the stretch, but they couldn’t capitalize on their opportunities. The game ended with a 1-1 draw, and now Argentina must battle in their final group-stage match against Qatar next week. Meanwhile, Paraguay will play against Colombia and they have their chance

In life you can't have it all. Life itself is full of up and down moments. As great as Ronaldo Delima who won many trophies with Brazil including World Cup, he couldn't win the Champions League which players like Daniel sturridge won recently despite playing for almighty Madrid filled with super stars. Jay Jay okocha as good as he was never won the African footballer of the year award which fringe players like Adebayor and El-hadji diouf won.


Many of you trolling messi's predicament with Argentina are doing so due to high expectations and unimaginable standards he sets for himself. He's a victim of his brilliance no doubt but never forget winning trophies is not exclusive to a player effort. Football is a team sport but i wonder why you all blame messi when he has been unfortunate to be with paper weight team mates. An injured Ronaldo won the Euro cup due to the fighting spirit of the Portuguese players (credit to Eder) after Ronaldo led them to finals with his goals. Same as the recent nations league which guedes delivered and Bernardo silva emerged best player.


Ronaldo is the arrow head of the Portuguese team no doubt but his team mates deliver when he's not in charge, unlike messi whose team mates are big names on paper but play terribly despite his efforts to inspire them to glory. Higuain missed 3 decisive one on one chances against Germany in 2014 finals before gotze scored, chances fringe players like guedes and Eder converted to win Ronaldo the international trophies you all troll about. Everything in Argentine football must not be delivered by messi. It's a games of 11 players so why place the burden on only messi as if Portugal fields only Ronaldo against other teams? When Elder and guedes scored to win the trophy when it mattered most, you guys ignore their efforts and give all praises to Ronaldo. When Argentina team plays badly even if defenders scored own goal all blame goes to messi. Haba guys, what level of hypocrisy?


This is not to defend or absorb messi of his involvement in the failure of the Argentine's team to win a major afterall he missed a penalty against chile in previous Copa finals, but i think we are too harsh on him with unreasonable criticisms.

I hope Majority of you guys criticizing him have achieved all you desire in life? I hope there is nothing again you which to achieve or conquer? Can you have it all in life? No. Even Atiku with all his billions stills dreams of being a president. You can't have it all. Ronaldo is fortunate to be in a team with winning mentality, unlike messi.

Had Ronaldo lost international matches and tournaments in similar fashion, you wouldn't have accepted this excuse and apologetics if Ronaldo fans tabled it for Ronaldo.

Oga, Messi na Camp Nou scam. I can really feel your pain.

Dey there dey type rubbish , in football your stats and results tell the story. If you would tell yourself the truth, you will realize that Argentina has better players than Portugal, but one man Ronaldo is the difference, that is the real deal , let Messi do the same. Did you watch the match yesterday? Messi's goal was even a penalty and Parag. threw away their penalty which would have sent Messi back to his comfort zone of Barca. There is just one player that is the real GOAT - RONALDO

When you speak on Messi, speak it with respect and deference.
I see it is travesty that Ronaldo is put in the same pedestal as Messi. Messi is way way way ahead of Ronaldo.
It's a big insult to say Ronaldo is better because he had won 2 trophies with his national team forgetting trophies are team achievements. Portugal won the trophies and not Ronaldo. In those 2 finals Portugal played, Ronaldo fired blank, he was completely inefftctive on the field.

I'm going end this argument once and for all. Most of us has seen Okocha and Mikel Obi played. Okocha has played in the highest level of football with the national team but has failed to lift the continental nations cup whereas Mikel Obi has lifted the Nations Cup. My question is who is the greatest Nigerian Player amongst these two?

Let's know who knows their football.
lol so you are saying Ronaldo is Mikel and Messi okocha ... Are you alright my friend ? Ronaldo and Messi have won same number of ballon d'or . Ronaldo has won champions league three times in a row in which he was a major contributor . Even the euro 2012 .. he singlehandedly took them to that finals but couldn't play it . If Ronaldo was in Argentina I bet you he would have won the world cup .... Quit whining Messi is a joker in international football and alsways hides in Barca t shirt

Messi fans are selling the story that he is a football god, are they not? A god that constantly fails? Do you know how many times Messi haa failed the Argentine team? Was he not the one that missed a penalty at the Copa America finals against Chile and then abandoned the team after he cost them the cup? On that alone, they ought to have exiled him from the team.

He should learn to step up when it matters, he always bottles important games. In Barcelona, Neymar eas saving his asss at some points, and later Suarez, in Argentina, the world can see him better. This is the football god that chooses when to step up and when to leave things to his team mates.
Make sentiments nor kill you las las...
Your hatred for Messi won't stop his shine...
Saying Neymar and Suarez saved his ass is a very foolish statement. Why were they in the club in the first place? No be to support each other?
was Neymar or Suarez in the Argentina squad when they won the Olympics? were they there when Messi won the player of the tournament in a world cup competition? Una go just open mouth dey talk anyhow, as if the other players dey do am on their own... Ronaldo that had an abysmal season with Juventus nobody came for his head oo...
I'm very sure your daily prayer is for Argentina to have an awful tournament because Messi is on the team.. Abegi

So a whole Aguero is warming bench in Argentina?

Truth is, Messi doesn't know how to motivate his teammates as a captain. Motivation boosts morale.

After now he'll vex and retire grin
