Messi is better than Ronaldo. But recent events suggests its a lot closer than we all thought it would be and there is a legitimate argument for Ronaldo.

frankly I have him at #4 on my all time list now.

Very strange interpretation from a strange Thicko, with a strange understanding of the game from strangely not watching anything but OUR league.

The last one year for CR7:

*Won the Champions League - twice
*Won La Liga
*Won the European championship
*World Footballer of the Year
*European Footballer of the Year (4th time)
*19 goals in his last 13 games
*60 goals in his last 63 games

:shock:

when groupies lose it, they forget what FINALS are

3 FINAL Finals. You know, the match where the winner gets the cup and the loser gets the medal

Not group/blistering stage final

WE claim WE watch football, I know WE don't understand the game. WC "finals" refer to the tournament.

PS: The winner also gets a medal in the final.

Pray, how can a player feature in any GOAT debate if:

That player has featured in 3 WCups and never even made Best XI Of The Tournament?
Forget ever sniffing Player Of The Tournament?

3 WCups!!!

If there is any other GOAT nominee who participated in a WCup and never made a WCup Best XI, kindly let us know...

This guy cannot be mentioned among the top three. He is great for Real but has never done it for the NT when it counts the most

You have to "blister" on the way to the final unless you are Fake Ron and Portugal who stank all the way to the final of the Euros and then won it without him.
