Messi "best player of all time"

[Walken]

Said it before, lads a bottlejob when it gets tough

 

[degsy]

The whole thing was absolutely bizarre. His answer to that meltdown was to bring on a full back. Since Guardiola departed Barcelona just seem to pluck names out of a hat for the job.

Bill wondered where that hat went

Maradonna miles better.

Was kicked all over the show, played on cow paddocks and singlehandedly dragged Napoli and Argentina to titles.

Maradonna was leagues better and not a bottle job.

Are you old enough to have watched maradona?

Personally I was 10 years old..... I thought he was incredible.... that 86 world cup he was a one man team. Never seen anyone since that get anywhere close to that level.

Cocaine is hardly a performance enhancing drug... not on a football pitch. You would get more out of caffeine, coke would likely induce a heart attack. His ephedrine use for weight loss in 94 granted..... yeah that stuff does work.... I used an ECA stack in the 90's- basically like speed.

But at his peak in 86.... no one to touch him.

You could argue Zidane above Messi for the same reasons people argue Messi above maradona.... for me Messi is above Zidane but not close to Diego

I'm old enough to remember Maradona.

With VAR hed have been eliminated against England with one goal to his name.

I dont think you'll have seen much of him though. Most games weren't on the telly.

He was good against a poor Belgian side but didnt do much in the final.

Even he, perhaps with false modesty, admits the claim he won it single handedly is nonsense.

I used to watch him as much as possible and there is a stack of footage of him out there.

Incredible player.

But a steaming cheat - so excluded from comparison.

Well he did only use one if his hands against England.

Apart from that pass for the winning goal.

Germany actually did a good job on him, choosing to try to crowd him out with 3 or 4 players each time he had the ball. He was clever enough and skilful enough to counter it by quick or instant passing; not spectacular, for once, but the mark of a great team player.

Maradona will go down in history as a football God.

Messi will go down in history as a nice little player.


In reality, out of today's game, only Cristiano Ronaldo would even get a foot in the room that contains El Diego, Pele, Cruyff.

I would put Zidane in there as well.

 

[Lelouch]

Look at ya all crawl out because he didn't score at Anfield, You people make me sick

 

[davek]

Maybe. He was a fantastic player. Matbe the passage of time will grant him God-like status.

He was for me, isn't strange defenders are not mentioned when this comes up yet Maldini was absolutely outstanding.

Beckenbauer should be, I suppose.
