Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland

[Kurt.]

Great goal

 

[4 Eyes Better Than 2]

That’s a superb goal

 

[Goat]

Why are people always so desperate to put things in order in a list? Just enjoy it.

Agreed.

For me its :

1. Diego
2. Besic
3. Messi
4. Sex offender

I don’t understand why people get so passionate about who’s the greatest of all time.
If somebody tells me they like Messi, C. Ronaldo, Brazilian Ronaldo, Maradonna, Ronaldinho, Cruyff, Pele, Eusebio, Zidane, etc. that is absolutely fine by me.

Yet Ronaldo breaks all the records...

Messi is younger and has more club goals so I'm not really sure what you're talking about

I feel absolutely sick for reading a paragraph from you and nodding my head. My blood pressure has gone up.

My work is done.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Wicked finish that

They are in the greatest midfielders conversation and were the best midfield duo of the past 20 odd years.

I think it was Zidane though who said that being the best forward in the world is harder than being the best midfielder. Forward is the glamour position, great goalscorers are the hardest thing to come by in football. It's not like Messi was just a goal poacher, he had insane assist statistics and was the complete footballer, capable of doing things literally no other player could do, on a consistent basis as well.

Im fairly sure both Xavi and Iniesta would laugh at the idea of them being better than Messi. Both consider Messi the clear GOAT.

I think you have to take into account position and generations.

Maldini is probably my favourite non Everton player. Defenders never in the conversation.

Also, on my original point, if we have anybody who uses the term Penaldo or Pessi they deserve a lifetime ban

Me: I'm rooting for Mexico

90 min later

Me: good riddance

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Excellent strike. Lads a bit excited now, had a great chance to mount an attack, but he over ran it.

Full confession, I don't really understand what they mean. I guess the Penaldo one means something about him scoring a lot of/only penalties. No idea on the Messi - Pessi one.

It's a response to the Penaldo thing. Twitter is the worst and football specific twitter goes even further.

 

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

Yet Ronaldo breaks all the records...

Messi‘s in or around the top 10 of all time in goal scoring, dribbling and passing- Ronaldo’s nowhere near the top 100 in 2 of those categories. He’s good at heading and stuff like that.
