Lionel Messi is a FRAUD that has finally been exposed

[dem bath salts]

Exactly. Those two are the reason I started following soccer. Ronaldo because of the pure scoring dominance and Ronaldinho because of the flair.

The 2006 Brazil team was just GODLY. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Robinho, Adriano, Ze Roberto, etc. Black excellence personified.

2002 was better. Rivaldo, Ronaldhino, Ronaldo all up front

Roberto Carlos running up and down wing

Croatia is really good. Argentina losing that game wasn't a crazy upset.

Messi missing that penalty probably will be the reason why they don't make it out of the group though.

casual fans, Messi was exposed ?



this is what he did in the last game of WCQ, Argetina need to win to qualify for Russia in the country where Argentina never won in decades and down by one. This WCQ exposed the Argetina squad and his name teammates are overrated because they can't qin games without him

:wrong_wrong:


Messi can't be the GOAT if he doesn't have a World Cup title.

There have been several players throughout history that have won that title with less surrounding talent. Maradona won the 86 World Cup practically by himself. Meanwhile, Messi's had an embarrassment of talent surrounding him since the 06 WC and beyond.

Get out of your feelings, stan. :MichelleSideEyeStare:

Cafu was a motherfukking rock too. He and Roberto Carlos on opposite flanks on the defense was unfair AF. :Wenger:

Roberto Carlos free kicks were the most cysed shyt ever tho. Announcers would be like he's deadly from this range. The power of his leg shyt was no different than anyone else's free kicks Still my LB

casual fans argument, you need to have won One Month event every 4 years to be consider a GOAT. So i guess Ramos over Maldini

Maradona won by himself another casual narrative. Maybe that's why he didn't need to score in the finals. And most of his teammates are in WC XI

Kylian Mpabbe >>> Messi and Cristiano

This kid got next. He looks like a blend of Brazilian Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. Best player in the world right now at the age of 19. And will be challenging as one of the best ever before his career is through.

Ronaldo and Ronaldhino combined ?

 

[Jax]

Please don't jynx this. I don't want this midget to win a world cup

 

[LeMAO]

Messi doesn’t even look like the best player on his squad. He should at least stand out if he’s the GOAT. Ronaldo stands the fukk out and looks world class even when he’s not scoring in international play.

So who looks like the best player on gis squad, then ? casual trying so hard

Dude should've never gone to Serie A. Obviously the money was too good to turn done (it was a world record transfer fee at the time) but that was the beginning of the end for dude.

Imagine prime and healthy Ronaldo and Christian Vieri together in the attack

This whole thread is fukking dumb and why sports talk in this country has hit maximum jackass. If you dont think Messi is one of the greats you're retarded. I'm sorry, but that's just true. We do this shyt in every sport now where if someone ain't doing something ridiculous everytime they're out then they're trash. There is literally no chill with the hyperbole with some of ya'll. Saying that a man with his pedigree is a fraud is just dumb. This is the same shyt some of ya'll do with Bron or Steph or KD now. It dont matter what any of ya'll type all 3 of them will be mentioned as greats.

The bash Messi is getting is so unfair

Messi and CR7 are 1a and 1b when it comes to the GOAT.

Then Pele and Maradona follow with the rest.


Edit: at comparing Messi to a scrub like Harden. The pure disrespect


Where did these football analysis come from?

Go back to watching your boring basketball shyt

Best summer ever. Between this and lebron... all these so called goats looking funny in the light

Sure he's good. He's one of the best at ball control and taking on defenders 1v1. Which is by far the most important skill in soccer. However, he has many weaknesses that make him overrated. First of all, he has no right foot. Being totally dependent on one leg is a weakness. He's also very one dimensional as a scorer. All he can do is play the ball on the ground. He can't play the ball in the air. Also for my taste he's not very charismatic or creative with the ball like Ronaldinho or even the Portuguese Ronaldo (who I'm not that fond of).

Lionel Messi reminds me of a soccer version of James Harden. Just as Harden is arguably one of the best one on one isolation players of all-time, Messi is also one of the best at taking on defenders 1v1 and controlling the ball. But just cause you're good at that one skill doesn't make you the best of all-time or even close to it. He has many weaknesses like James Harden has weaknesses which make them both very flawed players in my book.

Lionel Messi = James Harden

you better respect scam.gawd before i get you shot*
