My thoughts exactly. Have had the pleasure to see some truly great players in my lifetime and Messi is most definitely one of them.

Messi has put in a string of good performances now for his country. Can we put that part of the argument to rest now, or do folks still want to see him win the WC, before they say he's better than CR or can compare him to any of the other greats?

People still compare him to CR7? :scratch:

:doh:

Never been any doubt for me, but it's always been difficult trying to compare him to former greats from different eras.

Yea, I try not to compare players to past players, its just too hard. But yea, some still think CR is better than Messi. I don't personally, but I see and understand the argument.

Not really that much difference between Messi and Ronaldo honestly, they're both amazing. Who really cares who's better anyhow. :dontknow:

I just like watching them show off their skill. Let the pundits fill up airtime with the needless debating imo, gives the talking heads something to blather on about.

Yes, Ronaldo for Brazil at his peak was simply unstoppable!

Shame about the injuries but what a plaer.

Even when fat he was good.

Brazilian Ronaldo is probably the most devastating player I have ever seen
