You're a Ronaldo fanboy. You're delusional and bias. Whole world thinks Messi is GOAT

Lol I think Messi is better but it's a lie to claim everybody thinks the same. People who think a different player is better aren't the idiots. It's the low IQ trolls who try to pretend either Messi or Ronaldo is chit in order to talk up their own favourite. They're both world class legends.

Messi is obviously more talented.

Kind of like comparing Sam Bankman to Elon Musk. Bankman might do better on some math puzzles, but obviously Elon seems more useful in practice.

Ronaldo is a lot bigger, more of a big moment monster who also can accomplish skills where they are effective.

In their prime, that is.

The Brazilian team is ridiculously stacked. They are the favorites to win for a reason.

I wonder how the 2026 WC is going to work with multiple cities hosting.

Your #FIFAWorldCup 2026 Host Cities:

Atlanta
Boston
Dallas
Guadalajara
Houston
Kansas City
Los Angeles
Mexico City
Miami
Monterrey
New York / New Jersey
Philadelphia
San Francisco Bay Area
Seattle
Toronto
Vancouver

That Canada defense is so trash lmao like a fukking Sunday pub team.

Surprised the Canadian keeper didn't lose it on his defenders. They were leaving people open constantly for crosses and he had zero chance with point blank uncontested shots. They are actually lucky it wasn't 7-1 because he made some amazing saves. By 60th minute they were useless.

It's basically just a discussion on whether you prefer raw talent and magic or whether you think Ronaldo's clutchness and stats in big finals/games and international career are more important.

There's decent arguments for both but in the end it's also impossible to compare those two to the likes of Pele, Maradona and Cruijff.

Messi is the GOAT of having had his prime coincide with the Spanish golden generation at Barcelona. Team that went down the toilet the day Xavi and Iniesta retired.

Messi with all his technical brilliance can’t drag a team by himself, never proven outside of Barcelona, flees to a farmers league to play for PSG, now he’s fleeing again to the MLS.

If your life was on the line and you could only chose one player to decide a match for you, you can bet your ass people will chose Ronaldo over Messi.

I don't think any team Ronaldo has played on has lost to Saudi Arabia


ayyy lmao

All the Messi/Ronaldo GOAT talk is the kind of thing you see kids posting on Football Twitter lol. Original Ronaldo (Nazario) wipes the floor with them, as does Ronaldinho.

What’s the consensus on Benzema’s injury?

Is it legit, or is he claiming unfit to avoid playing in a sham “World Cup” in light of the alleged human rights violations?

[benedetto27]

RIP Canada. Looking forward to a stronger showing at home next time.

The GOAT is going to avenge 2018 against dirty Uragay and secure a spot in the knockouts tmr.

are you implying Benzema has ethical issues to play the WC?

lmfao I was like lmfao

Messi has been complete trash so far. His goal in the last game has obscured the fact that for most of the game he did absolutely nothing and looked like he couldn't care less about being there. Argentina look like a weak team and aren't going to win this tournament. My money is on Spain on Germany, both looked class last night.

He's been doing that for years lol. Media just brainwashes everyone into thinking otherwise. Dude is nowhere near what he used to be 5-6 years ago. I can't remember any other player who so many call the GOAT that goes missing in so many big games for so long.

Does longevity not count for you? Brazilian Ronaldo was insane at his peak but he couldn't sustain it for very long (same with Ronaldinho). With that being said, Messi and CR7 in their prime were just as good as those 2 except they kept it up for a decade so that's why they get chosen over the rest.

Yeah exactly and repped. He was a zombie all game but had this feeling he'd score and then the media would go all "Messi! Ra ra ra". I feel like he shouldn't even be playing but assume the coach would catch hell if he dropped him. What do i know though, maybe he'll come alive in the next games but at the moment he looks pretty uniinterested. Doesn't seem to have the ability to take on people anymore as his pace seems to have gone.

Understand what you're saying, but Ronaldo (Nazario) was just very unlucky to practically destroy his knee at Inter in his early 20s. He came back to do well, but lost his explosive pace and was never really the same.

Edit: Cameroon/Serbia = Quality match this morning.

Ghana/SK is a great game. One of the best so far of the group stage

[stfubrother23]

Yep up there with Cameroon and Serbia (3-3)

Edit. 3-2 to Ghana now.

[Briisk]

Ghana/SK is a great game. One of the best so far of the group stage

SK needs to start taking their shots quicker

[ezmac31]

SK needs to start taking their shots quicker

Yeah there was definitely one Son got where he should’ve blasted with his left quick and likely would’ve scored, but decided to move onto his right first allowing the defender to block.

Great game to watch. Funny seeing little Asians dominate in the air over bigger Africans, but Ghana got it done

Uruguay vs Portugal should be jooocy

That new kid from Uruguay Darwin nunez is good

He was doing great at Benfica but so far hasn't showed it much at Liverpool.

Saw his first bite live at the stadium. Every single fan of an opponent club always hated him with a passion.

He bit someone when he was at Groningen? Lol


Time to start admitting pulisic is massively overrated if he can’t get the US over the hump to beat Iran. Landon Donovan always took a ton of heat but he would’ve put this team on his back and got the W in this game.

Ajax

Ajax

Ah ok

[benedetto27]

Goat goat GOAT

[Barteh]

Ronaldo didn't touch that ball.

Time to to bring on the cannibal to get you the equalizer

Suarez ready to bite
