Yea I agree to an extent. But no player has ever made me go “wow” like Messi has on more than one occasion.
It was a great free kick yes but he’s done that plenty of times before. If you actually break down Messi and Ronaldo stat by stat Messi is superior in almost every one. Don’t get me wrong Ronaldo is a freak of nature but Messi is just a freak on another level.
Yep, didn't do much in Stoke either, but still by far the greater entertainer. Gets my vote anyhow. Messi needed to be great somewhere else, but the comfort zone remained.
Fined 18million and given a suspended jail term today. --------------------- Today, seriously? Ironic.
I’m still yet to see a single game of the Workd cup because of frickin work. Sounds like I missed a cracker this evening
That game will seriously take some doing, 3 world class goals today! Pick of.the bunch was Costas first for me.
Personally, I think the whole Ronaldo/Messi debate is a bit boring but football and debates and comparisons go hand-in-hand. When people ask me the Ronaldo/Messi question, I tend to say this. I feel like being awesome at football has come more naturally to Messi. Messi is awesome, always has been, always will be. Has always played the game the same wonderful way. Ronaldo has grafted and built his body from scratch, he's learn and trained, trained and learned and then at the end he has trained some more. I really admire his work rate and desire to be the best and even when he's at the very top, he keeps pushing himself. He always backs himself and more often than not he comes up with the big moments in the big games on the biggest stages. It's incredible mental strength.
Ha, I said to a friend at the pub “bloody hell, Cedric has put more decent crosses in tonight than he has all season” - Cedric then proceeded to smash it out of play at his next cross attempt.
I agree dtlw and it's why I tend to mean towards Ronaldo as a personal favourite. But really, I genuinely believe that without one we wouldn't have the other at these unbelievably high levels. I think over the years they've pushed and pushed each other to improve and it's been quite incredible to follow. It's something that we're very lucky to witness and that won't be repeated again for a very long time imo.
Please refrain from passing comments at any of our matches. Unless it is to say 'That Cedric will never score for us.'
