    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Yes it's how you win. For example, I always said he was better in 2014 and 2015 and 2016 than Ronaldo was in 2016. You can perform better and lose a tournament than someone who wins a tournament. Performances don't always equal winning. And in 2022 he was superb. I don't put it on Maradona...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    True but shows how lazy they are doing that.

    Marc Cucurella

    I like him from his Brighton days, but I admit, pre tournament I would have started Grimaldo. It's all ifs and buts though - maybe Grimaldo would have been awesome too?

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    The thing they overlook is, and I have said it a million times about the pro C Ronaldo/anti Messi camp. It wouldn't matter if he'd won nothing, and Ronaldo had won everything. Achievement is not talent. Nobody can ever claim that Ronaldo is a better footballer than Messi. It's clear that Messi...

    IniestaGOAT told me Garrincha is shite by modern standards and inferior to Henry... :unsure: :inigo:

    Emiliano Martínez 'Dibu'

    Sepp Maier probably is. Martinez has been brilliant though and will go down in history.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    That was borderline bullying of him by the Ronaldo fanboys. Now that it looks so bleak for Ronaldo, they (I don't mean Fati here) say people should appreciate both - after destroying Messi in the past :lol:

    Do you play football? At any level

    Nice one mate on the playing as a youngster, glad you enjoyed. Glad you mostly avoided injuries. I have had some back pain from playing, it isn't easy to deal with.

    Jude Bellingham

    Exactly, there are far more talented and better all-round players, but as a moments player at Real Madrid he has life on easy mode. He will be successful regardless because their players and the way they play hides his deficiencies, like it did the second half of last season. Astute post and...

    Do you play football? At any level

    Have you played much football yourself? Doesn't have to be at a decent level, just curious if you play? You can talk about experiences if you like.

    Argentina

    Going back to the past - people talk about 2014, but one overlooked tournament just before Messi hit his prime is Germany 2006. I remember it well as it was just after I first got the internet in the house and began communicating online. Argentina were the best team in that tournament, with...

    Johan Cruyff

    Thought that. You definitely can make that argument. He was very influential for Holland in the 70s, when he and Michels implemented total football. Then he brought the philosophy to Barca, and revolutionised the club and influenced all of its modern legends such as Guardiola, Laudrup, Xavi...

    You mean can? I assume 'can't' is a typo.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    He's brilliant but headlines like 'Maradona, Messi, now Yamal' are putting too much pressure on him, lol. The boy just turned 17 on Saturday.

    Copa América 2024

    Yeah thought that myself. Feel he could have saved it, probably should have.

    Diego Maradona

    He had major demons and did some unspeakable things (especially in terms of domestic abuse etc), but speaking purely as a footballer, he's the only player I have ever seen who I'd say was as talented as Messi. The guy was an alien and if you ever play football, please watch him play on some...

    Johan Cruyff

    If you combine ability as a player with ability as a manager, he's the greatest of all time.

    England

    To be fair that's tame by a red top tabloid's standards, lol.

    Jude Bellingham

    That's what I meant, he's not a controlling midfielder like Kroos. I am not sure I agree on IQ - I think he makes a lot of poor decisions on the park. But it's opinions. Anyway, I am more restrained about him than many, but that is more because I am disdainful of his PR. He is a quality player...
