Stop hiding all those players under Team trophies!!!

How many Ballon d'ors have they won??

Pele even robbed Jarzinho in 1970 World cup Golden ball.. That is the only one he won!!

The remaining world cup was won by the whole team, not by him only... Infact he was injured in 1962 but Garrincha still win the trophy for Brazil..

Zizou was not great in the 98 World cup until the final..n Thuram was far better than him in the tournament!!!

Who else??

R9?? Remove R9 and put Lewandowski in that Brazil generation, he would win at least 2 World cup too!!

Stop hiding all these players under team Trophies!!

.Tell me anyone of them who has been in the Ballon d'or Top5 for 14 consecutive seasons!!

I will wait!!!

Only Messi!!!

WESLEY SNEIJDER 2010 . won the treble with inter milan and got to the world cup final. They now gave Messi. Absolute robbery!!!
How about Ronaldo winning the Ballon D'Or in 2013 without any trophy, just because he was highest goal scorer in Spanish league and UCL that season, despite the likes of Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery being fantastic with Bayern winning the treble. Wasn't that robbery? You won't talk about that. At least in 2010, Messi still had trophies to point to - the Spanish league and Spanish cup, was also the highest goal scorer in the Spanish league and UCL. So what are you talking about?

Hiding players under team, how many ucl has messi won since iniesta n xavi left barca. Can messi be the best player without the help of players around him. You saying r9 played in a better team. Tell me any world cup Argentina was not one of the favorites, Argentina has been doing well before messi. Messi played with the best midfielders if not best ever . Messi should be able to win win Copa with the Argentine squad he had been playing since 2006. Its shows he is average. Pele won three world cups, messi didn't even win one copa. So .... messi has not been playing with best players,,,, he cant even change team and win a trophy . If you say consistency , cr7 has been too. With his consistency he had never scored pass goals in a world cup . That dude only good in barca shirt. Zidane did well for club b country,r9,pele,Maradona,ronaldinho. These are the goats, even cr7 did well with small team,if cr7 had Argentina squad he could have won the world cup. If messi player with Brazil team of 1998,2002,1994, they wont win the world cup

Una no go ever read the content of thread well before una type oo..Didn't he win Balloon D'or? Beside why the use of original Ronaldo? He was good, but CR7 is a million times better.
How can anyone say CR7 is a million times better than Ronaldo De Lima? Such disrespect. Has CR7 even smelt a World Cup final, not to even talk of winning it and be the stand-out player.
