England v Siopis

Re: England v Siopis

I would say we are now entering the realms of absurdity. Of that Spanish squad that won the Euros, Rodri would be my only choice of a world class player.
Further up the thread, comparing Rush to Messi, is suggesting an all time World class squad,.
An interesting topic, but as in all things football, it’s just opinions.
For what it’s worth, in my all time squad, Messi wouldn’t get into it.

The board is still recovering from your last sentence. It may take some time.

I'd love to see your all time squad if Messi isn't in it

No room for him with Maradona, Pele and Best.

The Belfast Boy was great but Messi is....well he's Lionel Messi !

Lee Carsley would pick all of them, and both Ronaldos.

I’d take him as a kit man 😁, but he never gets in any of my squads before the 3 I mentioned., although Best wore no 7 most of his career, he still gets in before Lionel.

each to their own, I'm not going to try to convince you that you're wrong. but in my books Messi is well clear of any of those.

I'm not sure but that list is right but maybe in the wrong order - did Best ever need Viagra?

Whilst I respect both your opinion and your reply, you’d have more chance of nailing blancmange to a ceiling than convincing me Messi was better than Maradona .

Fair enough, that's your opinion. With all due respect I think it's insane though George Best above Messi!

likewise for me, while I enormously enjoyed Maradona you won't be able to convince me he's anywhere near Messi.

George Best - 204 goals in 616 career club games, 137 in 361 for United after which he never played at the top level again and was basically a circus act. 9 in 37 for Northern Ireland, never played in a major tournament.

versus Messi, 474 goals in 520 for Barcelona, another 22 in 58 for PSG, 109 goals in 188 appearances for Argentina. All at basically the highest level you can play in terms of club and international football with a World Cup, multiple Champions Leagues, double digit league titles. Individual achievements too long to type but just go look at Wikipedia.

Fair play, respect all opinions but that's one of the craziest ones I've seen in a long time nqat.
