Re: David Beckham insists Messi is level above Ronaldo. by PopeFlatino(m): 8:27am On Apr 20, 2020
Eto'o cannot and will Never pick Cr7 over Messi,he just made a controversial statement about himself having more influence in d Barca team of then more than Messi.

Pele don't have a choice,he chooses Messi this year,Ronaldo next year,Neymar next two years

Someone is Messi's country man,he once said Messi is s greatest but continuously praises Cr7 because he do touture him so much in matches.

Maradona another Argentine,just like Pele doesn't have a stand,drug influenced.
He never said Ronaldo is d best but called him a captain and Messi a general, though he regularly try to underrate Messi's national team influence whenever is been placed behind Messi in comparison by d media

What do u expect from Nani and Quaresma?
Jokerman:
Pele
Eto'o
Simeone
Maradona
Zidane
Nani
Quaresma

Ur wrong and biased

Messi makes every team he plays better,his movement alone creates spaces for wingers snd strikers of his teams.
Cr7 is great whenever his team works for him,mostly those hardworking guys are always less appreciated.
In Madrid,Benzema worked so hard for him after Marcelo,Ozil and Di Maria,,yet he receives insults rather.
Now in June,they have started doing same through Douglas Costa,dybala,cuadrado and Bernadeschi but those guys are always less appreciated.They always win pks for him to score even but in Barca sometimes If a teammate wins Ok,Messi leaves it .

What do u even mean by one directional?
jaxxy:
Messi is good or rather great no doubt bt he has sm major weaknesses which doesn’t make him better than Ronaldo.

1. He is a one dimensional player like maradona said.

2. He can not lead or inspire his team mates from his wonderful play. His play doesn’t resonate to his teammates very well. Like pele this is Smtn Ronaldo produces effortlessly.

Ronaldo wasn't as glamorous as Beckham back then. Beckham married a pop star and he was poster boy for every damn modelling agency. Just that no Instagram or fb then so just drop it abeg. Jealousy ko

if dey ask u how many goals Pele or romario scored, u can as well say dey are bad scorers because dey didnt score as much with dia head, preeq or weak foots as Ronaldo...rubbish talk
All these u mentioned are just qualities of a good scorer and Messi is one of d greatest scorers to play d game...if u lyk kill ursef because e doesn't score much wit his head.... Ronaldo can score with his head, left leg, right leg, chest, hand, preeq, bla bla bla.....but someone who is one dimensional still outscores u and has more European golden boots dan u...what a shame

Can you say d same about passing,huh
Can u say d same about dribbling??
Can you say d same about playmaking?? huh

You say cr7 has been carried abi all through,so messi was the one scoring those goals from group stages to finals no let sentiment blind you.
Who missed the Penaltea that gave Chelsea the advantage in the shootout?? Cristiano..

As a student your lecturers especially in the arts and humanities will find it very easy to thrash your arguments. Will a player get on a pitch and deliberately injure himself. French players targeted him thinking taking him out means they have won the trophy. The tackle by Payet was similar to the tackle that took Pele out of 1966 world cup. However taking him out turned to blessing in disguise as he took over the touchline from the coach. That is leadership and that is what Messi can never bring into play. There is limit to talent.
Have you ever seen Payet doing that to any player in his career?? He is not a dirty player!!
Cristiano fell. Simple!!!

It means lil to nothing 4 me... It's his opinion
My opinion is such that both has reached the zenith of football talent optimization, that grafting them into different classes based on talent makes no sense anymore, instead I look at all other criterias as to their game to make my choice, from which I simply say I prefer Ronaldo to messi...
No one is Asking anyone to love Messi or prefer Messi... I'm only reminding you what Beckham said... it's Beckham's opinion....u av ur opinión too and so does everyone else

Yes I know no doubt but u have to accept the names I listed as confirmed by you..my point was that Benzema is d major victim of Ronaldo's Madrid supremacy,he has assisted more for him.

For Messi's side Remove Neymar from ur list and add Dani Alves.

The figures won't be equal because of barca's pattern of play,half of Messi's goals are from one-two passes he do start and finish but those players will be registered for assist,secondly he has spent more years with his teammates more than Cr7 with any of his teammates.

The second point I made is Pks ..the amount of pks those boys in Ronaldo's angle has won for him alone is double that of Messi's

According to what u are saying...it's easy to say that Ronaldo shines with whatever midfield he has... And scoles was not the best midfielder at that time. Lampard, Gerrard, kaka , iniesta, xavi were all better than him ...

U say they narrowly won it...dint barca narrowly win it the year b4 by 1 point ??

What has ozil won since he left Madrid??

All those Messi achievements u posted is crap... Stop posting children achievements....I wanna c manly achievements in the national team... What the hell is junior WC and Olympics?? Even Nigeria has achieved those as well...it was even Nigeria that they faced on both occasions... tournament awards are mostly given out of compensation..
How come Modric used his tournament award in 2018 to retire Cristiano from attending Ballon d'or award ceremony!!

Humanoid01:
Thanks for the correction, but has he ever gotten to the final? hahaha. I never said it was all about dribbling. Just as someone mentioned earlier, Ronaldo has more drive and is able to create something out of nothing unexpectedly. He is a goal poacher, and he does that really well, but that makes him very selfish in a way. Most of those features you mentioned up there seem to be in favour of Ronaldo because they're naturally related to his position.

Messi on the other hand is more of a team player, and what he does on the pitch, he does it AMAZINGLY well. He creates more chances for his team mates than he scores. He makes the game too easy.
Portugal lost the 3rd place match!!! Don't mind Beverlejean!!

Cristiano was a scared kid in that tournament despite being 21!! Figo, Maniche, Nuno Gomes , Pauleta were the men and the protagonist of the team that time!!!

Messi led his team to a World cup final..winning the Silver medal collectively and the World cup Golden ball!!

Cristiano has never done that!!!

We need to remember that World cup Golden ball is the reason why Modric was better than Cristiano in 2018!!

Casillas also after leaving madrid...

And der are players wu played with Ronaldo wu say Messi's better aprt from Beckham....
Rooney
Dimaria
Tevez
Gago
Or will u tell me, all of these pple are also jealous of Ronaldo??
If anyone has had a change of mind about Messi being better dan cristiano, let dem come out and say it .... Please, if u from Nigeria, dnt come out.... we're too sentimental

Ronaldo De Lima must have won three world cups in planet MARS not on this earth.
Nationale:
Man you are utterly blind. You ask for the contribution of Messi to the Argentine national team? He is the all time top scorer for Argentina. They begged him and called him back from early retirement from international football. If he was not important to them could that have happened? Ronaldo De Lima was the top scorer in Dutch league, in laliga, in seria A. Yet he never won the UCL. But has been named one of greatest player to have played the round leather. Being the best in your field eg medical profession doesn't mean you must practice in order hospitals. Just being good in what you are doing is enough. In football they have been several one club top players. Pele being being one of them with Santos and yet nobody told him to leave Santos before he would be recognised. Winning all the team trophies in the world doesn't make anybody the best player in the world. If so, they have been alot of players that have done that more than CR7. One of them is Ronaldo De Lima (three world cups). Should be greater than European title and UCL titles judging from the wilder reach of the world cup. Watch football first and leave collective titles. We are comparing abilities and not collective honours. Nobody is taken anything away from CR7. He is quite a phenomenon. But comparing him with Messi, then Messi towers head and shoulders above him unless you are looking at collective and not individual abilities.

We all know the conspiracy against Ronaldo, shebi that's why he was denied the 6th ballondor

However since Pele( �) goes with Cr7, his opinion carries more weight than any player on earth grin
Jose Mourinho is from Portugal, former C Ronaldo coach at really Madrid. He said " If I have Messi in team, I will win Champions league always"

Re: David Beckham insists Messi is level above Ronaldo. by MrCuteking(m):

I hate Messi because he dealt with Nigeria in under 21 world cup, Olympic and even in the last world cup. You see I have every reason to hate Messi because I even hate Barcelona for dealing with my sweet Chelsea football club.

Ronaldo did me no wrong, I love Ronaldo more because he has not done anything to make me hate him. Now I am not being rationale.

If you ask me who is a better player. Like not based on depending on the performances of their team. As in natural talent. Aba now!

Messi is far far better than him.

You see, a lot of people will never admit this for a few good reason.

Maybe because they support United, or Real Madrid or even Juventus that's why they love him.

If you ask them why Ronaldo is better, they simply talk about his achievements not complimenting the efforts of his teammates. Do you know that Juventus players are under pressure cause their career currently depends on how they can feed Ronaldo in the 18 yard box?


Please come out of the box and see that when we say who is better, we are referring to individual ability, talent, football awareness, skill, knowledge, wisdom, sense of reasoning, goal technique, dribbling, pass accuracy, etc. But not how the team performed under him.

If your argument is based on number of goals, number of champions league won, then we are not comparing two players, we are simply comparing teammates.

In all, they are two good talents but Na wa for people weh dey see truth and no fit admit o

But the reason y Ronaldo is something else is that he performs wherever he goes.. even if u say he goes to top clubs that y he performs... don't forget that Portugal was never among European elite buy he turned that team around... something Messi has failed to do with Argentina...
