Hahahaha!

You should be the asked that question.

CR7 is a great player. There's no denying it.

But if this record is as "noteworthy" as you claim, why didn't we all globally revere Ali daei before now?

Why is it when CR7 is closing in on the record that the record becomes greatly magnified/ important?

It's a nice feat but not as large as made out to be BECAUSE of its inevitability. A player with CR7's caliber is naturally expected to get to 100 goals having played since 2003 (17 years).

A nice feat nonetheless.

Don't let your love for him make you sound stupid....


In the round leather game, what makes it more interesting is when you have some fans going hard against your favorite star... You can't expect everyone to "love" your superstar...

I have seen you come up with some ridiculous comments about Messi, even on this thread, but I see everything as fun....

Try and see it same way so you won't sound stupid.

Martinez39s:
Don't mind him.

Amotolongbo:
Lionel Messi can slap you for committing this fallacy bro.

Please modify your post

Martinez39s:
With enough Lithuania, Estonia, Macedonia, Luxembourg, Andorra, Latvia, Armenia and the likes, he will get there.

U think NIGERIA is a small team when it comes to FIFA IMAGE.
Do you know that NIGERIA has more INTERNATIONAL TROPHIES than all those countries CR7 has been playing against..? Including Sweden, Norway, Wales and Poland...
What do you take NAIJA for...?
NIGERIA has attained NUMBER 6 IN FIFA ranking before which is the highest any AFRICAN nation has ever attained, yet Sweden, Poland, Wales and many more of these CR7 teams has never gotten to such.

In as much as NIGERIA is suffering some setbacks due to redundant leaders doesn't mean we are not GIANTS when it comes to FIFA recognition.

NIGERIA has produced more SOCCER PLAYERS of International repute than all those countries.
U could only think of Lewandowski of Poland.
U could only think of Ibrahimovic of Sweden and possibly Larson....
After these people, who else..?

Ok

Messi's goals against teams in the world cup

Serbia 1
Iran 1
Bosnia 1
Nigeria 3

I believe Ali Daei achieved that milestone without clamouring for unnecessary penalties and jumping to the corner flag like a monkey that wants to fornicate.

Reference:


Every Continental Federation has the strong, the weak and the hapless teams. Europoe has France and San Marino. Asia has South Korea and Ali's Iran but also has Hong Kong and Brunei. Oceania has Australia and Tonga. South America has Brazil and Argentina but also has Peru and Paraguay. The North has the United States and Mexico but also St Kitts and Barbados, Africa has Senegal, Egypt and Camneroun, it also has Seychelles, Liberia and South Sudan....

I wouldn't even consider Portugal at Tier One European soccer powerhouse not with the likes of Spain, France, Italy, Germany and Holland dominating since soccer became an international sport in the 30's, yet this man is able to achieve this in the most competitive Federation in the world.

It is more than an outstanding achievement. It is the stuff of legends. A testimony of his sheer passion for the game and a record that will endure for decades to come.

Whatever! This is football mehnnnn, sh*t happens. But we move. Remember when Barcelona beat Real Madrid 5 : 0 in La Liga. Guess what, do you know that Ronaldo played for complete 90 mins and Messi was using him as target practice?

Messi did this while playing in the best leagues and tournaments with quality teams: La Liga, UEFA Champions League, Copa Del Rey, etc.

As at November 2019, 26.09% of Messi's international goals came against teams in the fifa top 10, Ronaldo had 8.08%. Breaking it further down, 56 of Messi’s 70 international’s goals have been against teams in the top 50, while just 28 of Ronaldo’s 99 goals have come against teams in the top 50. Lithuania is the country Ronaldo has scored the most goals against (7), while Messi has scored more (5) against Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay than any other team.

The highest-ranked team Ronaldo has goals against is Sweden (5) followed by Netherlands (4). Brazil are the highest-ranked team Messi has scored against most (5), followed by Uruguay and Paraguay (5).

It should be noted that Ronaldo has scored at least two or more times against these teams, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Russia and Switzerland. Messi meanwhile, has found the back of the net at least two or more times against Spain, Switzerland, Nigeria and Mexico.

If Ronaldo faced the strongest European oppositions and scored many goals against them, how come 75 of his 99 international goals, 75.76%, came against the following teams: Lithuania (7), Andorra (5), Armenia (5), Latvia (5), Luxembourg (5), Sweden (5), Estonia (4), Faroe Islands (4), Hungary (4), Denmark (3), Russia (3), Northern Ireland (3), Azerbaijan (2), Bosnia (2), Cyprus (2), Kazakhstan (2), Saudi Arabia (2), Czech Republic (2), and a single goal against North Korea, Panama, Ecuador, Greece, Iceland, Finland, Serbia, Ghana, Ukraine, and Slovakia.

I didn't even include the one he scored against Cameroon. Ronaldo is a great player, I even call him my ewure, but let's not pretend that initial post doesn't have any merit.

Who will play against this useless country that's are rank 250 above in Fifa ranking. Even nairaland team is too strong for them.
Armenia
Andorra
Luxembourg
Latvia
Kazakhstan
Estonia
Slovenia
Malta
Faros island
Azerbaijan.
Lithuania
Macedonia

I expect Penaldo to have score 250 goals. I forget the best striker Ronaldo Delima is from Brazil.
Penaldo I am highly disappointed in you

JidennaJason:
Dear Young woman,


Like I said earlier, the round leather game is the home of fierst rivalry, and it's all for fun...

My own advice for you is to accept the fact that not everyone will love or support your favorite superstar whether he chase King Solomon's record.


Have a lovely day.

Unstoppable against Bosnia, Armenia, Albania, Luxembourg, Sweden, Norway, Poland, Belarus, Turkey, Wales, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan......
Teams any unserious NIGERIAN Team can beat.
Anyway, he needs more penalties to actualize that.

Martinez39s:
Is Messi now the one with an advantage? Despite everything, he has way way more goals that Ronaldo against fifa top 50. Read this post of mine on this thread.

Openbusiness:
At least dem score 2 . And 8 : 2 is not the worst defeat in football. Everybody has their bad days. Still doesn't change the fact that Barcelona is still one of the top 10 greatest football clubs in history. And a greater club than Muchen!

Beverlyjean:


2004...not 2003... besides...when he was messis age...he had hit over 80 goals
