Bro go twitter and see the hate on Ronaldo by Messianic fans, even for here we don here tapping tire. we no nee. Ronaldo scored 5 goals this season, but Messi fans say na only tapping him dey done score. So it's only fare to keep same energy too when Messi score tapping or pk. You know i don't dislike Messi (you can dig to confirm this), I just can't help it when i see people try to underplay Ronaldo's achievement cos of Messi rivalry. So until proven otherwise by another mathematician, Ronaldo is ...

You know that this thing was just cooked up after livescores signed Ronaldo as a brand ambassador, right?

TrebleChamp:
Abeg leave Messianic fans to their Messi Bias. when it's Ronaldo (like the pic above), na tapping or Penaldo, but Messi' pk was a class of genius and his tapping get special shalaye.....

It's the way you people pretend to not understand the point...

We never said Messi doesn't score tap-ins, he scores tap-ins but that's not the only thing he does. He plays long balls, through passes, creates chances, scores free kicks and outside shots...

Ronaldo on the other hand, has become one-dimensional... beyond tap ins and penalties, he doesn't do much and that's why even some man utd fans are complaining despite him scoring about five goals this season already.

timbros:


To prove himself in a farmers league monopolised by PSG?

Put some respect in the name Ronaldo...

League titles in 3 top leagues in Europe check
Top scorer in 3 top leagues in Europe check
WPOTY in 2 top leagues in Europe check
2 International trophies check

There are levels to these stuffs.

So PSG failed to win the last edition of a farmers league they have monopolized??

Please put some respect on the name Messi...

More Ballon d'ors; Check
More Fifa WPOTY; Check
More Golden Boots; Check
More trophies; Check
More international individual awards; Check
More goals+assists; Check

Truly there are levels to these shit

Karleb:


Speak for yourself.

Lol.

The comment was not even directed at you.

But it's true... if ten years from now, someone tells mbappe is greater than Ronaldo, you will probably not agree because of all the great moments Ronaldo gave you as his fan. That's how nostalgia works...

odizeey:


Yes. I'm crying. I had to cry tears of joy knowing South American players won't have to go through torture anymore.
It is finished.

The same South American teams that Ronaldo loses to when he faces them in competitions??

[/b]

That is understandable. He played so long ago it is a miracle people are even still considering him. Indomie and twitter generation believe the world started with them. Nobody mentions Cryuff, Di Stefano, Puskas e.t.c anymore.

Di Stefano that won 5 straight UCL/European Cups scoring in all finals but gets overlooked in conversations.

The same craze that was making people rate VVD as one of the greatest defenders ever. Recency bias in the age of tiktok, slay queens and kings is a dangerous thing.

The old man is trying to make sure people don't forget him, and that is a very human thing to do. But like i keep saying, that you didn't see it does not mean it never happened.

Yeah, you're partially right. Recency bias is a factor. But there's also the factor of Nostalgia, people who saw Pele and Maradona play never want to believe that they could be surpassed.

In the same way, in twenty years time, it will be difficult for any Messi or Ronaldo fan to admit that one player has surpassed what they did because of the nostalgia.

I like Pele a lot, before Messi, he was my GOAT. But using the eye test, Messi is obviously the better player.

odizeey:

Story.

Lol...

Is that tears I'm seeing??

96forever:
disembark from this careless capping.. you this Random person

Why are you repeating words like a broken record??

"Carabao cup" "Random person" We have heard you but it still does not help your argument in any way

96forever:
Answer what? Enjoy your Caraboa in peace, don’t litter here with “carry talk”acting like you’re spitting facts.. you this Random person.

We have heard you. Shebi it's Carabao cup?

How many times has Ronaldo beaten countries from the Carabao cup continent??

odizeey:


Ronaldo dey one kind position that makes most people have some bais against him.

Some united fans don't like him cause he left. Top EPL club fans beef him cause of the torture they faced from him.

Ronaldo sef no dey stay one place. He for don win one more balon d'Or.

Well. I feel this Ronaldo wey we dey see fit play till 50. Person wey fit pass anything.

Many Man utd fans that love Ronaldo still acknowledge that Messi is the better player. Even some of his former teammates... it's not beef, the truth is just obvious

afrodoc2:


Thank God you accepted your mistake humbly

I was going to ask you how he scored a goal in the group stages in a tournament he didn't play in. Maybe he spoke it into existence like Pastor Adeboye.

Lol... it was not a mistake

And the point still stands...

Pele wey be say if anybody breaks any of his scoring records, na when he go remember say he score another 1000 goals against his nephew in one match like that.

He knows that his legacy has been overtaken by Messi and even Ronaldo

96forever:


your attention is needed above Mr/Mrs Random person you can answer the above kindly or Rudely doesn’t matter

I have replied. Now answer my question or chicken out respectfully

Karleb:


How many did he win?

Answer my question or sit down quietly... you are always claiming that Ronaldo always shows up in big games. Now tell me what he did in the biggest games of his international career...

96forever:
which of the Fifa? The one that awarded Modric Balon d’or and canceled it last season so that Lewandowski will not win it abi which one.. lololololololololololol enjoy your Caraboa cup in peace.

This is why it's good to be informed... you know Fifa doesn't choose the winner, right?

The winner is chosen by captains, coaches and journalists from all countries all over the world in an open voting system.

Yes, I'm enjoying my Copa America in peace. With the knowledge that Messi's GOAT status and legacy is secured.

afrodoc2:


Name the World Cup Pele won that he did not play in. I want this to be a cautionary tale to younglings to stop making careless statements.

Abeg, you know what I mean. He didnt play any major role.

He got injured two games in and Garrincha led them to the title.

Brazil won 3 world cups in 4 attempts. That's how strong that team was

96forever:
you mean in the Carabao cup lololololololololololol. Your dwarf ghosted twice in a final against Alexis Sanchez ffs!! Have some shame

Kindly explain to what exactly Ronaldo did in the 3 finals he played for portugal.

How many goals, how many assists??

96forever:
Cry for what? A competition with just 10 teams that is played every year like Caraboa cup so that the Dwarf will not be a total failure for his nation lololololololololololol

go and drink water.. you Random person

Maybe you should draft a strongly worded letter explaining this to Fifa and the Ballon d'or committee. Maybe that will stop them from giving Messi his 7th ballon d'or.

Because if Messi has the same ballon d'or as the number on the back of Ronaldo's shirt... e no go funny oo

96forever:
Random person lololololololololololol

Cry more

96forever:
We aren’t even talking about the Knockout goals and all that..if we start, here go scatter.. they should enjoy their glorified Caraboa cup in peace and leave all this GOAT talk.

Competition wey only 10 teams the play, no be juju be that

Let's compare their knockout goals and assists in the knockout stages of international competitions na

TheLequte:


Ronaldo over Messi. Messi doesn’t make the difference in a team like Ronaldo does, especially when the going gets tough.

Dude participated in how many COPA finals before he could win it?

Let me put this to you: if the COPA were a four year tourney like other respectable National tourneys, the midget will still be searching.

Lol...

This is just funny at this point.

Ronaldo has never been the best player in any international tournament and he has played in about ten of them.

Messi has been the best player in four, 4 different international tournaments.

Even before this Copa, Messi was already regarded as the GOAT by the majority of his peers. This just cements that status beyond every reasonable doubt

96forever:
Messi isn’t even greater than Ororo and they are coming for King Pèlé.

see wetin Mickey Mouse trophy cause.

That dwarf isn’t even the goat in his homeland ffs!

Lol...

Pele was fantastic at all he did too and he maintained it at the World Cup on multiple occasions. Something Messi has not done.

You can't be on a similar level with someone and that person has 3 World Cup victories to your ZERO and you claim you are greater. E no enter.

If we are comparing Messi to Totti or another obviously inferior player it would be different but we are comparing him to players on his general level. It can't be 3-0 at World Cup and you are claiming greater.

This is why it's a logical fallacy to use trophies as the major determinant in discussing a player's greatness.

Pele won three world cups and he didn't even play in one of them, which shows that the Brazil team was so good in a time when international football was not that competitive.

At the period Pele played, the quality of football was not that great so standing out was not as difficult as it is now.

Thank God we have clips of both Messi and Pele and even people who were alive during Pele's time still say Messi is better.

No player has combined scoring, dribbling and passing to such a high level as Messi... that's why he's the GOAT.

LordAdamX:


Ronaldo don already win International Trophy. Since 2016.

Why pageantry go kon touch me. No b everybody dey mentally weak lyk una.

CLOWNS!

I b jor plan to come here congratulate una (I still even congratulate una) until one clown decide to quote me lyk say nobody for GOAT list or football legend don ever win international trophy.

If Ronaldo never win, na one thing; but e don win 2. Sport FLATEARTHERS nai una b. Dey reason like COW.

-Lord

The difference is that Messi was already widely considered the GOAT even without the international trophy... the majority of players, coaches, sport journalists and fans alike already considered him the Goat... his haters decided to use the international trophy as a claim against him...

But now that he has won it, he is permanently cemented as the UNDISPUTED GOAT. The greatest thing your idol can achieve is second best of all time and even that one no sure...

LordAdamX:


Dey there dey split hairs.

Na CR7, Pele, Maradona, Zidane never offer football lots of unforgettable moments and genius.

CLOWNS! Una go just dey compete to type d most senseless BS.

E don win, e don win. Yet e no score for the final. E no assist for the final. Na still teammates carry am. No b say e injure.

If na the GOAT carry trophy like that; na so una go dey hyperventilate. How does it feel to be a HYPOCRITE?

-Lord

Omo... this guy is so pained!!

He is trying to mask it by feigning indifference but you can feel the anguish and agony...

No worry, your pain has only begun

Kholiwe:

Still very slow. Hope you parents didn't hit your head on a table when young.

Maybe if your parents hit your head on a table, the defect in your brain would have been cured.

Too bad they didnt try, now the world has to live with your incredibly stupid ideas

Kholiwe:

Whenever your point has been rubbished you shift to another garbage and the points keep flying over your head. I hope you are not this slow in life.

The only thing you've been able to rubbish is yourself.

And that's ironic because I didnt know it was possible to rubbish rubbish.

Well, you pulled it off. Messi's still the better player, though

Melvyn11:

Premium trash and Shalayes. Show us Modric and Bale trophies before meeting Ronaldo and a champions league quarter final game for both. Provide those or shut up. All your arguments are dead.

I was expecting 'K'. I'm happy you are getting bolder

Anyways, I can show you Ramos and Casillas world cup.

In the finals that Ronaldo ghosted against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool, Bale came to the rescue.

Now you show me Ronaldo's playmaker award

Kholiwe:

You have countered nothing. Stop dreaming. Ronaldo started at Sporting and then to United as a winger whose duty was not to score thats why the appearance record is dead. Since 2009 when Ronaldo went to la liga to enjoy what Messi has enjoyed all his career and evolved to the greatest goalscorer ever he has outscored Messi in all competition. Sit down boy

This your rant dey sweet me.

Messi has been the major playmaker in Barca since about 2015, usually dropping to midfield.

In fact, he has won 4 IFFHS Awards for the best playmaker in the world. Yet, he is still winning golden boots back to back.

Best Goalscorer, best dribbler and best playmaker at the same time. Ronaldo can only dream

Melvyn11:
You better go and continue arguing with your mates. I will ridicule and eat you up for dinner.

Please go ahead, I'm waiting.

Take your best shot

Melvyn11:

The only thing you can destroy here is your stupidity. Show me Bale and Modric trophies before meeting Ronaldo. Infact show me a champions league quarter final appearance for both.

That's why your logic is faulty.

Using your logic, it would look like modric and bale are responsible for the trophies.

You forget that Spain also had Casillas, the best goalkeeper in the world at the time, Ramos, one of the best right back at the time, and Xabi Alonso, a world class DM, all who played for Madrid.

But you are too daft to figure that out on your own. The only explanation for this is a genetic thinking deficiency.

Kholiwe:

Thanks to playing with better players,same system,same league,same club and a stable environment all through his career. A point you can never counter. Seems the slowpoke here is you for not grasping the point after all.

The point has already been countered and nullified, but you're too ashamed to admit it.

Messi had slightly better players, Ronaldo had far better managers.

So explain why Messi has 42 more goals and assists while playing 145 less games. That's 13,000 minutes or over two and a half seasons or football...

As a Ronaldo fan, you should be ashamed that he is playing catch up to someone two and a half years younger than he is

Melvyn11:

Leave one random person to be typing trash up and down. Messi is a fraud

If I respond and destroy your argument na, you go dey hide again

Applying this your logic na, then modric and bale should take credit for the UCLs madrid won. Because for four years before they came Ronaldo didnt win the UCL for madrid
