this thread is gonna be hilarious when France cucks Messi on Sunday lmfao

[mandarino]

Messi is overrated AF.

Or rather, Messi needs a certain milieu to really do well. He's a great player in a team that suits him, but put him amongst different surrounds and he isn't so great. Barcelona? Absolutely a team that suits him. But the Argentinians? Not so much. They have excellent players but their chemistry doesn't bring out the best in Messi. And he's been a total disappointment at PSG.

Ronaldo, by contrast, has done well at every club he's been a part of. Messi's inability to acclimate to any team knocks him out of contention for GOAT player IMO.

By what criteria has Ronaldo done well at every club?

By being introduced and nurtured by Fergie?
By scoring goals for a few seasons at Madrid and not winning squat till his midfield of Kronos/Modric arrived and tailoring the team into a winning machine focused on him?
By going to Juve and scoring goals and focusing the whole team on him to the detriment of the team an evident by Juve league position and CL exploits thereafter.
Not even going to mention the ManU return.

It's gonna be hilarious either way. World cup going on and 0 IQ retards busy having a "GOAT" debate pretending like one assist, goal or win in a single game would suddenly change the entire discussion.

[luckyboy23]

What else is there to talk about when everyone knows France is going to win?

[Bodhy]

This.

Notice how the only 2 replies to this post have been ad hominem attacks. They have no defense to that simple yet glaring and painful fact about Messi.

I find it's the same with every clique or viewpoint I disagree with on here. Especially prevalent in the Trumpers. They can't have a factual or evidence based discussion, and their only port of call to someone making an argument against one of their cherished views is to just squeal like an angry child. LOL.

Can't wait for this match up

Messi vs Mbappe= PSG teammates
De Paul vs Griezmann= Atletico teammates

If Di Maria is fit and plays well and their defense holds up and Messi performs a couple of magic tricks, Argentina will win

Juve already won Serie A 5 years in a row before Ronaldo joined them. It doesn't matter if Lukaku joined them, they still would've won.

Ronaldo was carried in Man Utd and was also carried in Madrid. Bale, Benzema, Kroos, Di Maria, Modric, Ozil, Casemiro, Varane, Ramos, Higuain, Rooney, Scholes, Vidic etc.

Ronaldo gets carried and fed goals, Messi carries and does everything. You can't compare the two

I feel like maybe we are on the same side here and you havent realized lol.
I am firmly of the opinion that messi is the goat, with or without the WC.

Bruh it's funny. Imagine, you're a Messi fan, he's just reached a WC final with his country and still all you can talk about is Ronaldo. Lmao, the guy lives rent free in all Messi fans' heads. That alone should tell you all you need to know.

Merssi wasn't trash talking the refs.

He was insulting the Dutch striker Wout Weghorst, saying "Que miras bobo"

This, lmfao

Gotta love all these anti-Messi miscers finding whatever little thing he doess and attack him. I used to dislike Messi but what y'all are doing is too much.

If he wins the WC, he'll have multiple Champions Leagues, 1 Copa America, 1 World Cup, multiple ballon d or, hes legit the difference maker in his teams, (Barca, PSG this year, Argentina), and many many more accolades

He's already the GOAT hands down. A WC title will basically change the name of soccer to "messi" because thats what the sport will be called afterwards.

it was never called soccer to begin with

It is now because as of a few months ago USD>EUR. Even if the EUR is worth a few pennies more the USD is more sought after.

Real football is made of pig skin and is being adopted heavily by England, Mexico, and Germany.

USA owns the world. It's called Soccer. Soon to be called Messi if Argentina wins which I think they won't.

That's pathetic, Peter. Talking about "real football" while nuthugging Messi.

[luckyboy23]

Precisely. This.

[luckyboy23]

That's pathetic, Peter. Talking about "real football" while nuthugging Messi.

Hold up, I'm not nuthugging. I don't own a single piece of messi gear or anything related to him. However, I know greatness when I see it. He is the better than anyone with that ball at his feet. Period.

Just because I give credit to him, it does not take away from any other player. Reeeeeeeeeee-lax

[RiceBrah93]

I haven't seen a more retarded group of people than a bunch of Benchnaldo fans ITT.

So much delusion, so much denial. Messi already the 🐐. But if he wins this WC he will catapult himself 10 notches above Pele and Maradona and will put Benchnaldo more in the category of Henry, Cruyf and Zidane. Not in the GOAT category, but great category.

[RiceBrah93]

This is Messi's last dance. They will make movies and documentaries about this just like they did with MJ. All the more sweeter if he wins this. Enjoy the GOAT while he still around

[IvanFiveLiter]

Grown men in the thread arguing over two futbol players like school girls in a heated debate over which boy band is superior. NO NO NO NSYNC! NUHH UHH BACKSTREET BOYS!

[RiceBrah93]

People who hate Ronaldo and shill for Messi are the same people who hate Brady. They hate success. They hate 'Merica. They're usually third worlders who support socialism.

I mean I'm a Packers fan and I can recognize Brady is the GOAT. Not to say Rodgers isn't good, but Brady just performs when it matters. Same with GOATnaldo. But they can't handle an alpha chad just dominating. 3 CLs in a row and a euro blows away anything Cuckitini has to offer, not to say Cuckitini isn't good.

Sad.

Dumb post. Also Benchnaldo

How long will the segment about losing to Saudi Arabia last? Do you think they'll have a Saudi player say thanks for the whip? ayyyy lmao

[RiceBrah93]

Anyways guys, can we actually talk about the final match between Argentina and France and stop bringing up your idol Benchnaldo?

You Americucks don't know chit about football anyway and only watch it every 4 years or when Benchnaldo plays because he has abs.

[RiceBrah93]

It's over already man, the Saudis are definitely enjoying their whips though. Bear in mind, Spain lost their first match in 2010 and ended up winning the whole thing. Germany also lost their first match in 2014 and ended up winning the whole thing.

It's safe to say Argentina will win this whole thing if that trend continues. Their loss to Saudi was a massive wake up call.

Croatia with two beautiful goals so far

I find it's the same with every clique or viewpoint I disagree with on here. Especially prevalent in the Trumpers.

lol don’t even go there dude, don’t confuse me agreeing with probably the only logical take you’ve had on these forums with your political ideology which is laughably TDS oriented (notice how you bring Trump out of the blue). But, this is a WC discussion thread not a political discussion.
