Sterling proven in the Premier League and Maradona wasn’t, I’ve just read above that that’s all that counts.
There are two types of football fan, those who think Messi is better than Ronaldo, and those who form their footballing opinions by looking at Wikipedia.
I mean if we're going on what leagues people do stuff in then surely Pele is just a bum that beat trash international sides. Scored goals in Brazil and USA. Top top tier that.
I'm not even sure why there's a debate. Both Ronaldo and Messi have been (and remain) totemic, fine footballers, amongst the best in the world.
I just like to admire their respect craft and evolution as players as they've aged.

South American teams were as good for a long while
What a treat in store tonight. All four teams can still qualify.
I fancy Poland to do Argentina, and Saudi to put Mexico to the sword.
Would make it Poland/Australia, Saudi/France last 16 schedule, England facing the winner of Poland/Australia in the quarters assuming they beat Senegal.
Obviously if Argentina win it doesn't look as rosy for England.

Just as Germany - if they squeak through - might face Morocco in the second round, Argentina would have a relatively handy second round match against Australia if they top this group. Starting badly may turn out well for these quasi-fallen giants in so far as nobody would consider the Moroccans or Australians as insurmountable opposition at this point of the tournament. They are both admirable, of course, but Germany and Argentina - should they get there - will be blushing at the luck that appears to have come their way...

Argentina have got a bit of work to do to win the group though by the look of it.

Pele proved how good he was vs the top Europeans in the inter-continental cup (world club championships). Smashing in 7 goals in 3 games (vs European champions Benfica and AC Milan, respectively).

I know you're s*** hot on your WC history, so you'll know/remember them scraping out the group as runners-up to face Morocco in 1986...then got Mexico in the quarters and before you know it, they're in another final!!
