Cristiano Ronaldo

[CardiffIrish2]

I heard a brilliant description the other day of this never ending and often tedious debate.

An amazing artist createded Messi
An amazing engineer created Ronaldo

Perfectly encapsulates I thought.

It's not facts, it's a selected bunch of stats (Some of which are wrong) written by a child.

This football generation cares about one thing and one thing only - stats.

Nobody can be arsed to watch the game for themself anymore.
One of my favourite English footballers was Glenn Hoddle but the stats would tell you that Peter Crouch is better!

Andres Iniesta controls almost every game he plays in but the "stats" would tell you that Miroslav Klose was a better footballer than him.

Stats are only part of the game. I don’t think any football fan including myself, old enough to remember watching Hoddle play would say Crouch was better. Don’t know why you used that comparison anyway. Different positions.
You do seem fixated on Messi.

Have you seen the goal he scored in warm up on Saturday gringo?

If that was Pele he would have counted it in his career goals total.

On a side note I once saw Cornelius score in the warm up. From 25 yards. There was no-one in goals though.

I never understand why every time Messi and Ronaldo do something why one has to be better than the other. It’s weird that people care so much rather than just enjoying 2 of the best players of all time.

I always think the Ronaldo just trains hard and Messi has all the talent does both of them a huge disservice too. Obviously Ronaldo is very talented or someone like James Milner would have been just as good with how hard he works. And obviously messi has to work his bollocks off to stay at the top of his game this long.

I think both players are fantastic, im just having a bit of fun with the Messi fan boys on here.

Even though I think Messi is the more enjoyable to watch, and probably just shades it, i do think this last few years Ronaldo has closed the gap. I think it used to be Messi on another level, then Ronaldo, then the rest.

Now its Messi and Ronaldo on the same level, and then the rest. Wether Neymar can kick on to that level remains to be seen but I think he will need to move away from PSG to acheive it.

I like neymar but can't see him getting anywhere near the two above money seems to be his biggest goal

I wouldnt argue with that

I just looked at it mate. Fairly similar to his free kick in the game.

He never plays or trains around his sister's birthday. Pathetic

Sums it up perfectly I think 👍

Not sure why I used the word gay to be honest. It wasn't meant as homophobic at all. Just a word I'd have used in high school when I was immature. Sorry if I've offended anyone.

Great inside insight from wales-bales there that George Best was quite good!

You are missing the point. My coach who is an ex-international was quite good, but he told me that next to Best he wasn't really all that good, and I was aiming to be as good as my coach

Sounds like you had to be there to get it

Yep, it was a devastating moment.

Who was your coach?... ( it wasn't a great penalty)
