Defo not a Messi thread, apart from the fact it’s definately Messi.
You will never beat Them mate! I agree with you though!For the younger generation Messi seems indisputable but I still say Maradona, having seen both.
Would be interested to know how many older fans think Messi above Maradona.
Ronaldo has won it 5 timesMessi.
I don’t get the must win a World Cup arguement. For me it’s no longer the most prestigious trophy. The Champions League is now and Messi has won it 4 times.
i was just wanting opinions rather than as the OP stating a player
If it's about "cold hard stats" then it's not about opinions is it?
Pele would only have featured on TV once every 4 years unless there was a channel showing Brazilian football in the 70s but I highly doubt it.I'm always interested in those who pick Pele or Maradona. How often did you actually see him? I'd guess that it was probably a handful of times per season (if that) or possibly even just at the World Cup.
Sure does Maradona by a good bit the best with Nil protection, can U imagine him playing now protected OOFT!!Messi has never "owned" a World Cup tournament; Maradona did, Cruyff did, Pele did. Does that count at all? I think it could be a contributing factor because how many when they suggest Messi are too involved in the immediacy of this being his time?
Not even as good as his brother But you know that and oh to see quality like that again at Ibrox
Seen Maradona weekly mate on tv, Pele 1 WC for me 1970I'm always interested in those who pick Pele or Maradona. How often did you actually see him? I'd guess that it was probably a handful of times per season (if that) or possibly even just at the World Cup.
Messi IMHO.
But if Zidane finished his career with another world cup rather than Mattarazzi's head he would be undisputedly the greatest player ever.
1. Messi
2. Zidane
3. Pele
1) Maradona
2) Messi
3) Ronaldo
It's an age thing.
It's an honour to watch Messi that's why i have him 1.Having had the pleasure of watching all three, I’d put Pele tip of that list and Messi in third. Zizu was the one I saw at his peak though and has been a hero of mine ever since. Fantastic, modern day midfield player.
Agreed1) Maradona
2) Messi
3) Ronaldo
It's an age thing.
