    Neymar Jr.

    Second most talented player of his generation. Fucked his career going to PSG in the summer of 2017, as anyone with foresight predicted at the time.

    João Cancelo

    Some decline he's had. He's looked poor for a while whenever I watch him. On the way down, most likely.

    Giorgi Mamardashvili

    He's looked very good in this tournament (though I only watched the first two games of his, not the Portugal match). He has been assured and made good saves and caught the ball which always gives defenders confidence. He looks half decent on the ball, too. It will be interesting to see where he...

    Cole Palmer

    I think Palmer should maybe start vs Slovakia. Him and Mainoo and Gordon showed enough. Palmer can play in a number 10 role or on the right wing. He offers something different with his dribbling in tight spaces and wand of a left foot. It would mean dropping one of Saka or Bellingham but they...

    You are a really nice guy I think. You have a good personality. You're just a bit OTT with Ronaldo, but you aren't obnoxious. Temp is probably a decent guy too, he just likes to troll.

    Copa América 2024

    Panama beating USA - fucking hell. As for Uruguay, didn't see the game but doesn't surprise me they're doing well. They have some great players and a crazy but effective madman for a coach.

    Ultimately it's a pointless debate. Anyone with the slightest clue about football, or who has ever played the game, can see Messi is MILES more talented than Ronaldo. And he has the performances to back it up, more than Ronaldo. He's far less reliant on service, a far better dribbler, a far...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Many of Ronaldo's goals have been sheer stat padding though. For example the two in 2014 semis after Ramos had already sealed the tie, or the fourth in the final - a penalty in 120th minute after he'd been awful and he pathetically celebrated like he'd been MOTM. In fact most of his goals in the...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    does he have this one too? maybe I should find a picture unique to the forum

    I think it's pedantry. There's no such thing as a one man team - but Maradona and Messi (and Garrincha in 1962) come as close as anyone ever has. Maradona had Valdano and Burruchaga as other top players. Messi had 2 or 3 you can argue are really top players. But they were by a country mile the...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Fair enough on the free kick - I didn't watch the game, watched the Czechia-Turkey match.

    Brilliant post - other than maybe the bit about Mbappe carrying France in the final. Not entirely sold on that, but other than that, excellent. Carrying or winning on your own is impossible in a team sport. Maradona and Garrincha came closer than anyone ever did, but ultimately you need at...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Lol that is so disingenuous. I missed the Chile game, but Messi ran the Canada game (admittedly missed two great chances) and was far better than the two games I watched from Ronaldo (and apparently he was bad against Georgia last night). It's another example of boiling Messi down to goals as...

    Lol notice it's mostly his team-mates at Man United sucking up to him. Plus an American football player who has no clue about football and likely loves Ronaldo for his physique and pace. He didn't 'conquer' the Premier League :ROFLMAO: He scored goals thanks to service, while Man United became...

    Lol fair enough. That is a bit weird.

    Fati is a really nice guy I think. Has a good heart and personality. He just loves Ronaldo :ROFLMAO:

    Anyway, back on topic... everyone knows Cristiano Ronaldo has been an excellent player for a large part of his career (personally I think he lost it when he left Real Madrid). Nobody is disputing that he had a lot of years where he provided some entertainment and scored a lot of goals, and won...

    'If its Messi who lead them to the wins why between 2010-2016 prime Messi couldnt do that??' Because football is often a game of fine margins. He had good tournaments and came very close, it isn't like he utterly flopped post 2010. If he scores that penalty vs Chile or Argentina beat Germany in...

    Argentina weren't a top 2 team, and only are now because of Messi. People used to say Argentina had so many great players...then they listed Messi, Tevez, Higuain, Di Maria, Aguero. Only two or three of them can play at once. They were top heavy in Messi's prime, Portugal actually had a more...

    Obviously I don't wanna go the other way and act like his titles and achievements are meaningless, lol. But they have to be put in the proper context. Ronaldo fanboys (not you) talk like he's a one man army dragging garbage teams to victory, and that is so detached from reality it's untrue...
