A competitive match is a match played during a competition/tournament. E.g. during the World Cup, World Cup Qualifiers, COPA America and qualifiers, etc. for South America.

Maybe you can tell us the competion/tournament in which that particular match was played.

Note: I am not interested in Messi - Ronaldo comparison. Just felt to let you know that Messi is yet to score a competitive goal against Brazil. I hope he does in the near future. If you still don't get it after this, then I won't respond to you any further. I wish you all the best.

Are you now restricting to Brazil alone?
I thought you said top 10.
But i bet he scored against Uruguay and Colombia when they were in the top 10.

BTW,
if you counted 2 Goals for Ronaldo against Sweden in the Nations league then by all means count Messi's goal against Brazil in the Annual Super Copa. It is a competitive fixture.

Thanks a lot for your understanding.

lordtim001:
Messi 138 games = 70 goals. Goal ratio ~ 0.5 per match And 34 of those goals were scored in friendlies and a good number while playing against South American teams that you just admitted are not having enough representation in the top 10.
Ronaldo 165 games = 101 goals. Goal ratio = 0.6 per match. And he played a good number of games against European teams that you just admitted that they dominate the top 10 and are much tougher. And not to mention that he is 2 years older than Messi.
Is it not common sense?

Not common sense but nonsense.

There is nothing so sancrosanct about top 10.

What about top 20?
What about top 30?

There are about 10 South American Nations and all fall into the top 30 footballing Nations.

So Messi is basically playing top 30.

While most of those European teams Ronaldo plays against especially in the qualifiers are between 150 and 200.

150th position FFS

Lol.. We're talking Peru, Paraguay, Bolivia

You're talking Latvia, San Marino, Cyprus.

FFS.

Hello, Messi has never scored a competitive goal against Brazil. It is one of the things Brazilians taunt him with. The one you refered to was scored on 15th November 2019 in a Friendly Match. Google is your friend.

Anyways, this does not take a way the fact that Messi is a fantastic player.

Hello

It's is not a friendly match, it is a competitive match.
The fact that there are 2 teams involved doesn't make it less of a competitive match.

Even in Messi's goals list it is not listed as a friendly.

If you can count Ronaldo's UEFA Nation's league goals as competitive goals you must count Messi's goal in the super copa as a competitive goal.

You can't be clever by 50 percent.

DrayZee:
Well...you should’ve read my initial post properly.

Uruguay wasn’t a top 10 team the times Messi scored against them. Same way Ronaldo has 2 competitive goals (and 1 friendly goal) against the current number 1 (Belgium), but it won’t be added to his goals against the top 10 because they weren’t top 10 when he scored against them.

He scored against Uruguay 3 different years and against Colombia 3 different years.

You mean to tell me that Colombia and Uruguay weren't top 10 any of those times. If we're are to do a proper investigation we would find a lot of lies in that goals table you posted.

My advice is you always cross check want you see on the net before reposting.

Exonerate1:
34 out of ur Favorite player 70 goals came during Friendlies. Have some shame!

If I were u, I would have ignored this Thread.

The reason why a South American player plays a lot of friendlies and not too many competitive fixtures is obvious.

I wouldn't be the one to lecture you.

DrayZee:
Lol...see explanation. Why then is it that even the Brazil that is always in top 10, Messi has never scored 1 competitive goal against them?

The stats are there. Messi has 0 against top 10, 0 against top 20. Anyone that 8’s-2 see it can continue to deceive himself

To defend yourself, it would have been better for you to show me Messi’s masterclass against at least a top 10 country in a competitive tournament. But unfortunately, it doesn’t exist

Didn't even bother to check before but Knew I had to cross check cus I knew you were lying.

Messi has scored 7 competitive goals against top 10 teams.
3 against Uruguay, 3 against Colombia and 1 against Brazil in the 2019 super classico.
Liar.

Besides there are 8 European teams and.only 2 south american teams in the top 10.

It's only natural for Ronaldo to score more.

DrayZee:
This is the record in tournament games. All of Messi’s goals against the top 20 teams were in friendliest. He has never scored a goal against top 20 rated countries in a cup tournament.
Why do you think only Ronaldo’s international goals seem to matter even when Messi has scored up to 70? The way people talk about Ronaldo vs Sweden, or Ronaldo vs Spain, why do you think no one can talk about Messi like that even as he has scored up to 70 goals?

It’s because Messi’s international goals against important teams are all in friendly matches.

"seem to matter!"
Explain what you mean by "seem to matter"


Besides over the years the top 10, and top 20 teams have consistently been dominated by European teams; which a European player like Ronaldo has played severally because of thw qualifiers and the euros.

Whereas in South America besides Brazil and Uruguay there is hardly any other team which has been in the top 10 consistently.

So this table needs to show the number of caps against these top 10 and top 20 teams otherwise it is inconclusive.

Still doesn't take away the fact that 50 percent of Ronaldo's goals are against teams probably between 100th and 200th position in the world.

Sommyroy10:
We were minding our business oh

I tell you.

Just peep out the top 10 on this list FFS.
Countries that we never knew actually existed!


Even though they are both named Cris,
Cristopher Columbus has got nothing on Cristiano Ronaldo.


Top 10 actually account for about 50 percent of the goals!

nihilistjnr:
The team is bad, I must go to Manchester.

Higuain is bad, I retire.

Oya wait, lemme quickly come back and play against Qatar and Australia in Copa America...oh shit I don't win again...I'm crying it's Aguero's fault.

Try being Ororo winning UCL with Wes Brown as a team mate. Try being the highest goal scorer of all time in Europe with Jose Fonte as your team mate.

There's levels to this shït, my guy.

Argue with your rasclaart ancestors

Just peep out the top 10 on this list FFS.

When is the draw for UCL group stages?

1st October.

Most people don't get the picture.

Even though I am not a fan of bbnaija or whatever....

I still like the way the Ghanaian do theirs.

Looks more natural than ours.

Ours na fake, everything fake. Doesn't depict the real life situation of majority of Nigerians.

I would love to see bbbaija where people soak garri and groundnuts and experience power outages.

Bbbaija was even done in S.A. before. What a joke!

The major thing that interests most Nigerians about the show is how men and women flirt with one another.

So we are in pot 2 of the UCL!

Damn
That was way too much savagery from Freeze.

promisedeco:
a team that couldn't win a game without him.
if he doesn't score no one would score?

what's your definition of "carry"?

I Repeat in the 2 most important matches in Portugal's history, Ronaldo flopped and he did not score.

Against France and Against Netherlands.

promisedeco:
i hate to argue with unreasonable people - no offense.

so, who brought them into the "most important" games.
did you do the simple math i told asked you to do
i am not a Ronaldo die hard fan but there are thing that needs not to be argued

So because Ronaldo brought them to the most important games we should say;

"Ronaldo singlehandedly carries Portugal"
Or
"Ronaldo has no help at Portugal, He does it all alone"

Abi?

NegroAcheiver:
If you check out some of their players before they joined.You will praise Bayern fitness coaches.Lewandowski and goreztka were like toothpicks when they joined.

Seriously.

I saw that transformation in Thiago.

NegroAcheiver:
Barca wants Thiago but koeman wants wijnaldum.Technique/passing vs power/aggression.Hmmmm

Funnily enough Thiago looked quite powerful and strong on the pitch that day against us.
Really mean mugging!


Bayern don gym up.

NegroAcheiver:
But you saying the worst days of Messi was better than fati's future was absolutely uncalled for.

Of course i didn't mean it.

That's an exaggeration, a hyperbolic expression.

It was a reaction to the calls for Messi to be sold because we have Fati.

Bringing that up is totally out of context with the current discussion.

I have been one of the people actually wanting for Fati to play along the front 3.

khingTony:
Shatap there
You said messi's worst days are better than the future of Fati. Like WTF
Messi's worst days are not even better than Lingard's Best days

Shut your mandible eediota.

Fati still hasn't done 1/1000 of what Messi has done in his career.

Fati hasn't done 1/100 of what 33 year Messi has done in his career.

Fati would probably never do 1/50 of what Messi has done in his career.

And yes I said what I said but that was only an exaggeration in response to mugus like you talking last week about selling Messi because we have Fati.

Fa! what

And don't get it twisted clown!

Am a fan of Fati and I always advocated for him or Dembele playing on that left wing instead of Griezman.

So don't take the convo out of context.



PS

And you guys should better give Fati time to mature and not pile up pressures on him if not we would have another Bojan Krikic on our hands.

promisedeco:
[s]why are you finding it difficult to grasp the guys point.

portugal squad was rubbish but has improved so much now so they 'won't miss' Ronaldo that much now.
speaking of Euro:
1. how many goals did Portugal score in that tournament then subtract ronaldo's goals. also put into consideration the games only ronaldo scored

World cup:
1. calculate the total goals scored by portugal in the qualifiers subtract ronaldo's goals. also put into consideration the games only ronaldo scored
2. do the same for the word cup proper.

After you've done all these you should understand why it's said that he carried the team[/s]
#peace

Rubbish.

It is his duty to score goals that is why he is up front.

I repeat Portugal won their 2 biggest matches in history without him.

So don't you ever undermine the rest of the team by telling us that Ronaldo is singlehandedly carrying Portugal or that he is playing with thrash team mates.

Stop that nonsense.

ojaysam25:
It is the best Portugal team in ages....they now have lots of talent that plays for big clubs and Europe big five league unlike before....and yes ronaldo is the one carrying them since,but now if he retire Portugal will not miss him....they have build a great squad...

They won the last UEFA Nations league without him playing until the semi final. Even in the final he was missing and it took Guedes and Bernado Silva to step up in the final.

Portugal won the biggest match in their history without Ronaldo. The final against France.

Yes Ronaldo is their biggest and best player.

But this talk about him playing with rubbish players in Portugal is nonsense.

He's always had a good team supporting him.

haymekus:
Exactly

Still true. Abi is Fati better than Messi at 33?

Stop playing to the gallery.

What he means is dig out those posts that said Fati was inexperienced and not decisive, and not ready to start.

A couple of guys said that, won't be surprised if you did as well.

Obaseki took Edo money in billions and gave it to tax collectors.
Even the tax collectors in the bible did not collect this much.

pquaver:
. Just imagine his greatest achievement in a world up hatrick against Spain.. Are you not ashamed sef?

lol

*He has not even played in a World Cup final.
*He has not won the best player of any tournament talkless of World Cup best player.

Lol @ hattrick against Spain.

ojaysam25:
It is impossible for Ronaldo not to score in this match...Portugal midfield played excellently not that trash he had at juve

Oh suddenly Portugal midfield play excellently.

We had thought that Ronaldo was carrying Portugal singlehandedly?

SMH

Even those who were criticizing Fati for being inexperienced and indecisive at some points in the season are singing his name today.

How convenient.
