so... is this correct. Simeone does the celebration, nothing. CR7 does it while scoring a hat trick and gets fined?

bs in its purest.

as a sidenote. Simeone has been pretty damned successful. But atletico play pretty negative football. at least as negative as mou.


edit- didnt realize diego got fined as well. :lipssealed: :lipssealed: :lipssealed:

Read he's the first player ever to win the title in the 3 big leagues

Surely not?

Can't think of anyone else though.

When you consider he's done it in England playing at a time where the Russian dominated, in Spain where UEFAlona dominated and in Italy playing with a team that was in serie b not so long ago. Fairytale stuff.

Lol I'm not getting in to this again. Debate was done and dusted on who's better years ago as Ronaldo won the euros and the same summer Messi cried and retired from Argentina.

If you think messi is better then I suggest you talk to fellow Messi worshippers who have no answer to my facts about why Ronaldo is better.

It's a valid argument when looking at Messi's International record but when it comes to certain players, you count the moments they pull off the unbelievable. The highlight reel plays where you see magic. Messi is that player and he'll be compared to Maradona.

Trophy counting is a bit flawed because it's like arguing Benzema is a better striker than Brazilian Ronaldo because of the amount of CL trophies he won and Ronaldo winning zero.

Pull off the unbelievable?

Have you not seen Ronaldo in the CL past few years?

The same CL Messi hadn't scored in the QF stage for 6 years before facing Solskjaer and co

Its not even close between them anymore

I know you don't care and won't reply to me, but people may listen to your argument a bit more and give it more respect if you weren't so biased toward Ronaldo and would actually give Messi some credit. To say they aren't even close is obviously wrong. And when you make idiotic statements like that it's not even worth debating anymore, cause how can anyone take you serious? Are is it you just WUMing again?

They're the two best players in the world according to pretty much anyone that watches football. The reason why people have this debate is because they are so close.
