Messi or Ronaldo??

[Falkor]

Not able to call it

Messi by an absolute mile...ronaldo is good, but he cheats and dives, Messi doesn't need too

 

[Don Quixote]

Imagine if they were on the same team

Never 'by an absolute mile'....

 

[Walkers Cajun Squirrel]

Who's the worlds best player??

Many would say Messi but I would say Ronaldo. Just broken the spanish record for quickest ever to 100 goals and plays in an inferior side.

But Ronaldo went to spain at his peak. Messi has built up from 17 years old. So that stat is pointless. Messi for me but if I had to sign one for an english club, then ronaldo. Messi seems a little too injury prone and small to play in england.

But he has matched Messi goal for goal over the last 2 seasons. During his time at Man Utd he was the best player in the Prem by a country mile

Injury prone? Messi? |Do you ever watch Spanish football?

You suddenly realise you're arguing Ronaldo is better than Messi by saying he's kept up with Messi.

Xavi. Anyone notice how Messi doesn't dominate at international level like he does for Barca? Because he doesn't have the little genius behind him threading balls through. The hyperbolic mediawank over Messi is becoming a bit sickening to be honest. Yes, he's a very very good footballer. But, like Ronaldo, he's playing in a league with very few genuinely good sides, and dicking the likes of Almeria by five or six is not the same as beating the best. If Messi were that good he'd score more for Argentina.

IMHO, of course.

Purely on a playing point on view I'd say Ronaldo as Messi gets great service at Barca and that does help quite a lot.

On a person point of view I think Messi is 10 times the man Ronaldo will ever be.

Until Messi proves himself in the PL or another team other than Barca then its Ronaldo all day long

 

[OSRGull]

Seeing Ronaldo in both the Prem and La Liga and pissing both of the leagues then I'll go with Ronaldo, Until Messi proves he can handle himself against the physical sides in the Premier league then I'll stick with Ronaldo

This was my view but it appears we are in the minority

Is that the league whose 7th placed team (now 10th I think), absolutely destroyed the English Champions at home and away a few weeks ago?

Messi is far stronger on the ball than Ronaldo who goes to ground a lot more frequently

Messi plays for Barca because La Liga is a better standard of league than the Premier League, team for team. Why would he leave La Liga to play at a lower standard?

Don't buy all the crap about it being all about the big two, there are plenty of teams (Valencia, Atleti, Villarreal and Sevilla to name but 4) who would probably finish higher in the Prem than they do in Spain because the competition is not as strong here. Just ask Man United, the reigning English champions, who got ripped to bits (twice) by the team currently 10th in La Liga, and then ask yourself - could Swansea, who are currently 10th in the Prem, have done that against Barca?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the Prem is all crap, it's certainly not and there are some great teams and players there, but it's not of the standard of La Liga in my opinion.

Messi is the best, but Ronaldo has a more complete all round game.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

They're both a joy to watch (apart from CRs histrionics, of course). We've seen Ronaldo do it here, but I would imagine Messi wouldn't have much problem either. They both play in top, top teams of course, and one player cannot do it on his own. If I had to call it, I'd go with Messi, partly on personality, can't really split theit talents.
