>A modern player is doing this on a weekly basis and you haven't accepted him as the GOAT
Fine, if you didn't accept him in 2009 that's fine. But it's been almost 10 years. Surely you are not so stupid to think anyone comes even close to his skill level.
>>75851330
>0(zero) trophies outside his system
If you think hes the best footballer that ever lived youre either clinically retarded or just american
must be really hard to do a quick spin and lob to the winger or jordi alba every time

Empatamos las dos finales exclusivamente porque necesitabamos, al menos, 3 jugadores para marcar bien a Messi. El que tu selección sea así de cagona, con esa ventaja, no es culpa de Messi.

That's how you win the world cup now, 2006 was the last time anyone could win. Now clubs spew out oil money left and right. The winner of the world cup will be whoever has the most players from a single top club.

You wish you were a moroccan pretty boy so that CR7 would let you suck his dick
>>75851330
>>A modern player is doing this on a weekly basis
lmao at this delusion
why didn't he do it in any champions league knockout games this year? or last year?
why hasn't he scored a single goal in the CL QF, SF or F since 2015? the real best player in the world has scored about 10 in those games in that period
>>75851330
>>75851330
He is the GOAT people just get the argument mixed up. They think that when we say that messi is the GOAT we are saying barca is better than madrid. NOOO We are saying (Messi) is the GOAT
>>75857324
>facts=bait
>>75851330
Only idiots and trolls think Ronaldo is better than Messi. All you have to do is watch.
>>75857336
Also pretty much every muslim in the world, but that's mainly because he plays for Real and Real are historically the biggest club or w/e.
>>75857324
how is it bait? it's literall facts.
didn't score once in the past 4 CL knockout games against Atletico(Ronaldo has 4 in his past 3)
didn't score a single goal against Juventus. scored one penalty in PSG
goals in QF, SF and final in 2016 = 0
goals in QF, SF and final in 2017 = 0
these are facts
>>75857378
This is all correct but it's not about who is the best right now (if Ronaldo should be considered so right now) but who is the GOAT

Ronaldo tried so hard to make a name for himself but failed. Luckily his team was there to win it for him.
You know I'm quite happy to witness the Messi & Ronaldo era.
My dad always talks about Beckenbauer, Maradona etc.
But now imagine 20-40 years into the future will we really see a better player than Messi?
I dont think so and will enjoy the banter of Messi being better than whatever fotm shit gets hyped in the future.

ugh, that team had one of best defences in the last decade. they had 7 clean sheets in 10 knockout games during those 3 runs to the final.
>>75852874
are you fucking retarded?
>>75852874
Romero < Neuer
Zabaleta = Lahm
Demichelis < Boateng
Garay < Hummels
Rojo = Howedes
Di Maria > Ozil
Macherano >Khedira
Biglia < Kroos
Higuain > Muller
Messi > Schweinsteiger
Lavezzi > 38 year old Klose
Messi is the most talented greatest player that ever lived.
Yet, Ronaldo managed to be as good as him, sometimes better, stealing titles, ballon doors and even managing to win the euros while being less talented, playing in different teams and different systems.
Messi is just a testament of how good Ronaldo is.

It's pretty easy to dribble players who are 20 cm taller than you. Your nerves are shorter (faster reflexes), the ball is relatively bigger to your feet (easier to control), and you have a lower gravity center (better balance and quicker turn-arounds).
2bh football is the only sport where being shorter can be a decisive advantage.
>People unironically rate le score important goal man
He's an absolutely shite defender.
>>75858009
>2bh football is the only sport where being shorter can be a decisive advantage.
nope, gymnastics
Missi's slight edge comes from he is allowed to roid. Sure, every footballer takes their vitamins but he is injected hgh ffs. It is not even gray zone, literally banned in all sports.
Barca should just assemble a group of midgets and send them to Fuentes camp, #ggez.
>>75858255
Please point to me the part where 1,90 m gymnasts won Gold medals in the last Olympics.
You can't, because football is the only sport where height isn't an absolute advantage.
Post ONE good play he did in the 3 finals HE lost
I only ask for one
He didnt make a single good pass, or a goal situation in 3 ! Finals

Messi was the only player who cared to win against Germany. The rest were complete choke artists because they didn't have Di Maria there to run for them.
This is him in minute 90 of the world cup, defending better than his defender, playing as midfielder, decent through pass, and when the play fails he runs back to the German defender to attempt another take-on.
No one else in Argentina had heart, I feel sorry for you and for Argentina. You never deserved Messi.

>>75851330
we tried everything, no regrets about "wasting the GOAT"
We tried making a team that works without him, and putting him on top of it, so he doesn't feel the pressure (Basile). It didn't work.
We tried making a team that plays like Barcelona so he can feel comfortable (Martino, Batista). It didn't work.
We tried making a team that is good at defending and making him the center of our attack, Maradona 1986 style (Sabella). It didn't work.
He chokes against Brazil. Okay, Brazil is a great team. He chokes against Germany. Okay, Germany is a great team. He chokes against Uruguay, okay, they are world champions.
We sacked coaches and players because he didn't like them (Riquelme, Tevez, Basile). We put in coaches and players just because he asked (Martino and his Newell's friends).
He doesn't score in KO games? Maybe he's saving up for the next game. Maybe he's saving up for the final.
Now he had this chance in silverware. He only had to perform against Chile (so you understand how small they are, 3 people died celebrating a Copa America). Many people would have hailed him as the GOAT, even though winning a Copa America of which we have 14 already doesn't mean much.
Not only he doesn't perform, that's okay, another bad day. Not only he doesn't score, it's okay, 11 KO games without scoring, but it's okay, he's still good. Not only he doesn't assist, it's okay, it's your team mates right? They are your friends Messi, you sacked Tevez, you asked for Higuain and Aguero. But okay, we get it, you didn't assist.
On top of all that, he doesn't even run. He just walks the pitch. Fuck him.

The "GOAT" now doesn't have to win anything outside of his club football because now the "GOAT" hasn't won anything outside of his club football let alone outside of the only club he has played for.
We should go back and examine other potential "GOATS" now that we can discard Maradona for being average in club football despite winning the World Cup.

Yes, but even with this fact Argentia was better in regular 90 mins. The main reason for their victory in that final is Argentina's extra time physical collapse due to 2nd consecutive extra time with a day less of rest.
