philfearon: ****** WHY MESSI IS BETTER THAN
RONALDO*********
[s]Lionel Messi's close control, his ability to
dribble out of tight situations, his vision, his
range of passing, his ability to leave a trail of
defenders on their backsides, his finishing
from inside and outside the penalty area, his
composure, his ability to remain calm under
pressure and much more all makes him the
best player in world football - and
subsequently a better footballer than Ronaldo.
Ronaldo might be faster, able to jump higher
and smash the ball harder - but that athletic
ability doesn't make him a better footballer
than Messi in terms of technical talent.
Ronaldo is a machine, but Messi was born
with a once-in-a-generation gift.
One of the things which sets good players
apart from great players is their decision
making - and part of Messi's genius is his
innate ability to chose the right option on a
scarily consistent basis.
You will rarely see him shoot when the pass is
available, or vice-versa, which is why Messi
has so many goals and assists to his name.
Ronaldo, though, likes to shoot from
everywhere - even if it doesn't always benefit
the team.
Put simply, he's a lot more selfish than Messi
on the pitch, and this can often hinder both
himself and Real Madrid.
Since the start of the 2009/10 season, Messi
has won the following: three La Liga titles,
one Copa del Rey, four Spanish Supercups, one
Champions League, two UEFA Super Cups and
two FIFA World Club Cups.
Oh, and he's also won four consecutive Ballon
d'Or awards - as well as countless other
individual accolades.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, has won one La Liga
title, one Copa del Rey title, and a Spanish
Supercup.
The Portuguese won the Ballon d'Or with
Manchester United in 2008, but has never
come close to Messi since he moved to Real
Madrid.
Sure, Messi has been part of a better team,
but Barcelona under both Pep Guardiola and
Tito Vilanova had Messi to thank on many -
many - occasions.
As Messi scores more goals, you might
naturally expect that Ronaldo sets more up for
his teammates. However, this isn't the case by
any means.
Messi is a true team player, as his assist
stats indicate. Since the start of the 2009/10
campaign, Messi has set up a whopping 58 La
Liga goals for his teammates.
Ronaldo? Just the 30 assists since his arrival
in Spain for a world record £80m fee.
There's not a whole lot between them,
admittedly, but since Ronaldo's arrival to La
Liga he has scored 152 league goals, while
Messi has netted 17 times more.
Now let's look at goals scored in all
competitions since the start of the 2009/10
campaign.
Messi, in those four-and-a-bit seasons, has
scored a remarkable 244 goals for Barcelona.
Ronaldo, on the other hand, has scored 212.[/s]

ABSOLUTE WASTE of precious MB.

this is the height of mental laziness.
cant believe someone would expect the above to convince somebody that the midget is better.

abeg carry your rbbish post go where them go read amd dey begin drull saliva for mouth like ********** (dont make me say it)

just re-inforce come january so that UCL slot will be achievable. winning the league may seem a tall order at the moment

taking time off football we have once again spanked the Barcelona basketball team.

the record still continues. 25 match unbeaten and still counting run

Krasid: Everybody is finally coming to their senses.Finally Ronaldo will win his 2nd ballon d'or and get the respect he deserves.There is nothing midgetessi can do, there is nothing Uefalona can do, and there is nothing blatter can do.

although i dont know the source of the quote above. until when he is proclaimed winner I still believe the dudes you mentioned can make the unthinkable happen most especially blatter.

raynold: 1-3 Liverpool

bettet luck next time.

philfearon: I see u have cooled down..That's good....make I go watch match then......

stop being disillusioned.
come back when you like.

we dey wait you.

switdick: Arbeloa Still Tries To Move attack Sef, I Still Want Him In The Back as Replacement

but Arbeloa is now slower maybe age is d cause.

i feel Carvajal is just not being decisive enough with attack concentrating more understandably so on defence.

which leads to my earlier ascertion the backline has enough men but the men there are just not pulling their weight when playing.

the attackline scores but d defence keeps leaking abi na Khedira/Alonso/Illara we go blame sef.

philfearon: See who is talking? you have not even completed the payment for Modric not to talk of Bale.....
Maybe u were blind u didn't see the part where goal.com showed the news on our presidents clarification of the Neymar deal...
Or maybe u have forgotten wastage of heavy salaries on a player who scores useless and meaningless goals?
Go park well....

see ya life.
we pay as at when due.
unlike defaulting employers of labor.
and its only in your miniature world CR is not value for money.
and how far with tax payers money wey una best player dey evade.

philfearon: Tell him......Maybe he is suffering Amnesia

they won twice and they are now our superiors?
SMH for this thought sense.

Snoggy: This guy don divert!

its their trade mark behaviour

switdick: What's Going On Here ? I'm Back To Slay Any Blancos Hater, I See Dead Ones Already, No Need .



Nacho Is Better Off Behind Either Pepe Or Varene To Me O... He Fits The Center Back Better, If We Ever Lose Coentrao Ehnn, I Go Fight Lotti o.. !!

I Wonder What Ramos Is Better Off Playing, Center Of Right Back ? Still I Feel With Varene Playing The Center He'd Be Fine Being a Right Back So Long As Coentrao Takes The Left..

Gosh! Why Can't Ancelotti Know This ? !!!

actually Ramos seems good in CB
But he plays best only with Raphael.
my problem is Arbeloa and Carvajal.
they tend to offer less in attack.

philfearon: Should be asking you!!
Madrid is a bunch of failed billions {€}Euro investment with nothing special about them!!
What has Madrid done for Football? Crappy capital bunch of debtors!!

Ask forbes.
And ask Barcelona players and staff that were paid thier wages late some months after winning the treble.
And ask why FIFA would make Real madrid club of the century.
And ask why a club will always under represent the cost of a player like Neymar. Oh it has to do with taxes I guess. little wonder messi is being chased around to come pay up or jail up.

philfearon: THE LAST TIME I CHECKED,REAL MADRID HAVE NOT LEFT THE SHADOW OF ATHLETICO MADRID SINCE ONE YEAR+ NOW........

whatever it is you are drinking or smoking stop taking it.
....comparing Atleti with Real Madrid.
surely Barker fanboys are colomental.

switdick: I Don't Have a Problem With Our Mid field, Alonso Had Better Stay o..lol

However, I do Want a Solid Right Back, I Want Coentrao To Always Play Our Important Matches Being On The Left Of Course, Varene Can Take Center From Pepe or Support Him, We Really Need To Get This Right In Defense.

Sadly i fear Coentrao may leave in d summer

Lotti seems to see him as third after marcelo and nacho.

homesteady: You should also come out of the closet and proclaim that you love Messi and you love barca

I love beauty
I love form
I love fame
I love strenght in d face of adversity
I love humility to all
I love wealth


Now tell me which of the above La midget has more than CR to make me be a fan of his

philfearon: Are u okay at all?

His quote is in same league as Einsteins theory of relativity
e=mc2
Krasid is infact a genius

Krasid: Barcelona will forever be in the shadows of R.madrid.That's how it was, that's how it is, and that's how it is meant to be.

GBAM
First Law of Laliga Futbol

YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE.

what will the scores be today against the Blue legion from London?

homesteady: If only there was Athletico Madrid thread on Nairaland, I won't be wasting my time with this losers! After-all they are our rivals now!

last time i checked Nomski0 baby is a los blancos.
so i know where your allegiance lies.

BTW confess and come out of the closet and proclaim that you are a true cristiano ronaldo fanboy

philfearon: The dude was talking crap,no need encouraging him!
I can never take 'em battles that i cant handle!

i bet he is around the corner will come for the jurgular once again.

philfearon: So what is this?
Is it you are blind or you didnt remember when you wrote the bolded?
A small look into the city Barcelona will tell you that even prior to the Formation of La liga,A sort of championship existed in Barcelona...
2ndly,@bolded again,did you form La liga on your own? Can u form it on your own? Will there be even a La Liga without FcBarcelona?
Think b4 you speak bro..Even your president,Perez, acknowledges these facts!!

obviously, you prefer to interpret my words the way you prefer.
NOW OPEN YOUR MIND FOR ONCE

if barcelona should break away from spain they still want to be part of spains laliga and not form a league of their own.

now tell me if what i just wrote is any different from what your eyes and brains preferred to read and translate

@ madridistas,

Seems Alonso will renew his contract finally.

That will be some good news.

switdick: You Catalan Footman, You've Started With Your Nonsense Again, Make We Start To They Fight ?

he wont survive it.

next thing he will start doing is say:

"did you say something blah blah blah..."

even on the barca thread A40 show am pepper so tey the guy kack for corner.

AjanleKoko: The Flea has won 14 titles in the same period as your boy's 3 titles. Including 2 Champions' Leagues.
I guess that's why everybody voted for him, and una dey campaign after election, creating compensation awards
Forlan win Copa America oh. UEFA Europa Cup, and UEFA Super Cup also.
Any more questions?

you sef fall my hand.
and yet UEFA in their wisdom or bias still gave the award to la midget even with Forlan winning those trophies.

shows how objective the awards organisers or is it votersriggers are.

abi that year forlan won those trophies messi win UCL to warrant the title?

philfearon: Trophyless bunch of Capital føøls!!
@Usbcable, I used to think u are wise,but was mistaken..So who and who formed La liga in the first place? Anu mpam!!

dumb wise man the problem with all of you barcelona fans save one and only one is that you always respond to something totally different from what is being said.
una need to get glasses.

go and read my comment again and show me where i said barcelona was not amongst the first clubside to form the league.
or say if and a BIG IF barcelona breaks away from spain will they start a league of their own?

homesteady: Usbcable please when was the last time madrid were on top of the table?

see jamb question

Dear madridista recognise the two below

life is just funny never say never

^^^

no dull moment with celebrations from CR7.
the best
others are imposters

Snoggy: Ronaldo was given the global soccer award today in Dubai.

He's the BEST!

surely and truly he is for many seasons now.

switdick: Definitely Bro, Definitely.

Save For Ancelotti Though, I Fear His Subsequent Tactics In Positioning Our Defense Line, I Feel He isn't Applying Much Of What He Ought To Know.

I Mean, The Defense Has Never Impressed Me and Lotti's Term Isn't Helping Matters at All.

We have a good set of players in the defence. problem is their attitude or is it mentality.

I sincerely hope carlo improves on this come 2014 making us win laliga to start with.

AjanleKoko: Don't blame us.
It's just that, going by Ronaldo's achievements, Ibrahimovic, Balloteli, Falcao, Forlan, and a host of other players, have a stronger claim to the prize than he does. They have won more titles than he has over the last 4 years. He just scores goals, but doesn't win nuthin'

then you and your cohorts should stop clamouring for the infested flea to win the BDO since its now about trophies.
BTW, why forlan dey that row call?

homesteady: I wonder what he was thinking when he called barca a 2nd class club
A club that through out a whole year, they were on top of the table! Even when we had many injury problems!

seems the new mantra in barcelona is injury this injury that.

absolutely pathetic argument
