Greatest of his generation without a doubt. And in the conversation with Pele and Maradona for the greatest ever. Simply beautiful to watch him.
They won’t count that. They’ll say Opta are deeming it as a cross and won’t pay out on it.Bookies saying hes had 1 shot on target (his goal).
What about his free kick in 34 mins
Done me for 60 notes grrrrrThey won’t count that. They’ll say Opta are deeming it as a cross and won’t pay out on it.
Corrupt cunts.
Similar. Vastly overrated.Still can't stand him.
Tell me your at the wind up ??Similar. Vastly overrated.
You lot have Calum Mcgregor, so fair enoughSimilar. Vastly overrated.
Agree, it's difficult to really say one is better than the other with a clean argument as both have incredible career stats and are different types of attacker.If its longevity at very top its him or Ronaldo. But I think Maradona and OG Ronaldo were better. But both either through injury or self destruction never got to be their very best for long.

loads of folk going absolutely tonto, sky getting bombarded with people citing this:They won’t count that. They’ll say Opta are deeming it as a cross and won’t pay out on it.

Better at what?
Obviously it’s largely subjective but for me Messi and Ronaldo have taken the game to a different level.
For all the stick Messi gets for staying at Barca so long he didn’t half cover up the absolute disaster that squad became.just like the 2014 tournament in Brazil, Messi is dragging this underperforming Argentina side along.
He came to within a extra time Götze winner of winning the World Cup on his own
Ronaldo would have been watching Messi tonight, Messi doesn’t watch Ronaldo
Greatest player to have ever kicked a ball
Can he do it in Naples?Genuinely don’t think the game has ever seen a player who has mastered both the art of scoring and creating/playmaking the way he has. Not at the highest level anyway. Can’t be many who can claim to be the best finisher, passer and dribbler around. It’s like when you create your own player in FIFA and just max out all their attacking attributes.
Yeah its your generation.Maybe it's my generation, but anyone who thinks Messi is near Maradona, they deluded, sorry

George Best was better he had it all.Greatest of his generation without a doubt. And in the conversation with Pele and Maradona for the greatest ever. Simply beautiful to watch him.
3 of them played for the same club. I wonder which of them their fans thinks was the best.Not even in my top 3. Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, then either Ronaldo or Messi.
Wasn’t that good tonight up until his goal. Good finishGreatest of his generation without a doubt. And in the conversation with Pele and Maradona for the greatest ever. Simply beautiful to watch him.
Surely they’ll do the decent thing with this? It was 100% a shot on goal.loads of folk going absolutely tonto, sky getting bombarded with people citing this:
A shot on target is defined as any goal attempt that:
- Goes into the net regardless of intent.
- Is a clear attempt to score that would have gone into the net but for being saved by the goalkeeper or is stopped by a player who is the last-man with the goalkeeper having no chance of preventing the goal (last line block).
You no deid?Clearly the second best Argentinean player of all time
This is why we need some kind of licence to use the internetSimilar. Vastly overrated.
Give deid Diego his box of Special K.You no deid?
Which is why I said it’s largely subjective.So did Johann Cruyf. They even credited him with creating a style of football - 'total football' - in his time.
Also, football has evolved over the years building on what went before. As we can't take a great player from yesteryear and plonk them down in today's game, it's impossible to really compare and contrast. We can only really go by what they did in their time.
There saying it was a cross not a shot .the keeper pushed it away .Surely they’ll do the decent thing with this? It was 100% a shot on goal.
This post on the back of scraping past a shite Mexican team, days after losing to Saudi Arabia?Greatest of his generation without a doubt. And in the conversation with Pele and Maradona for the greatest ever. Simply beautiful to watch him.
Messi won't, and still be better than the both of them.Pele won 3 world cups
Maradona won 1 World Cup
Messi won’t win a World Cup and neither will Ronaldo
Levels.
