See this is the problem. Ronaldo was an ok dribbler - inferior to guys like Neymar, Iniesta, Hazard and Ribery there, never mind Messi. He was a kick and run merchant - he would knock it past someone and outpace them - he couldn't zig zag or weave like the aforementioned players. As for 'shoot...

It isn't even a slight on Ronaldo. He's a brilliant player and one of the top ten ever. He just cannot compete with Messi, who is a severe outlier in so many areas. He has a shout to be from about 4th to 8th though, after the big three.

I am teetotal. Messi is a significantly more talented footballer than Ronaldo. As goalscorers they're about equal. Saying Messi is a miles better FOOTBALLER (not goalscorer) than Ronaldo is a very reasonable opinion. Plenty of other players surpass Ronaldo in dribbling and passing and vision...

I am not a Barca fan. I have always, always felt Messi is significantly better. The World Cup has nothing to do with it and I was saying this before he won it. He's so much better at stuff like passing dribbling, even finishing (look at shot conversion rates) that it isn't even funny. I also...

Yeah I think Inter will win in Germany. Just a feeling. They're a solid outfit and I rate Serie A as better than Bundesliga. I'm not convinced by Leverkusen, might be wrong tho.

Messi is a clear level or two or three above Ronaldo imo - Ronaldo is a lot closer to the chasing pack than he is Messi, in everything but goalscoring. Messi being better than Ronaldo isn't an unpopular opinion. Messi being significantly better (as I believe) is an unpoplar opinion even though...

Yeah, fake. The true overrating is from the clueless modern fans in the notes. Not a single mention of the likes of Modric, Xavi and Iniesta (all so underrated) and all saying Bale was the closest to Messi and Ronaldo (btw I would put Ronaldo significantly below Messi). Also some idiots saying...

Did he really say all that? What a cunt if so (Fati might be trolling), lol. Getting a bit too big for his boots me feels - he wasn't as good as Neymar and for him to think he's on Messi's level (and even Ronaldo's) is appalling. This just after me saying to Tempt the other week that Bale...

@Fati_Future_BallonDor Here is what I am on right now but may alter some

Lol yeah I think though if they're not on song Atalanta cold suffocate them so much to make the officials not matter. But this is football and can never discount Real Madrid voodoo.

Honestly, I am not sure. That top right Messi subreddit has some insane stats that in his 91 goal year he was scoring goals from extremely low xG and was a massive statistical outlier - but at the same time his passing, vision (which helps a lot with executing passing) and dribbling are GOAT...

Gasperini's team have a real chance here - Real won handily at the weekend but that doesn't confirm they're out of their slump. This away game against a team that scores for fun could be very difficult.

I guess Zidane, Platini and Mbappe also dominated in red white and blue if you count short and sock colours lol.

Garrincha would be proud.

He might be the best defensive midfielder ever. It depends what you think of prime Busquets. Matthaus wasn't a DM.

His passing might even be better than his dribbling overall. I can't say as they're both 99/100 or 100/100.

I agree with him - you are a good lad and are a good poster. The caps thing doesn't bother me that much. I can see why it would others, though. As for the actual conversation - I read through, some good points made on both sides, I think.

It's Ashworth, not Answorth. Also, apparently Ratcliffe is furious with him for backing Ten Hag and approving his signings, when it looks all gone tits up. However, it is all conjecture at the moment and nobody outside the club really knows the full details. But yeah, I said INEOS would be a...

Fell asleep and missed the Spurs-Chelsea game. Looks like I missed a thriller.

He's a great player. Some idiot on Redcafe called Rojofiam said Hojlund is much better than him in the summer :ROFLMAO:
