This is a very hot debate in the world of football today, best player in the world, Messi or Ronaldo.

can

anyone

say

messi?

messi messi messi

miss u.

come back soon messi.

messi is best player in world apart from _______

I'd say messi because he looks like that guy from that movie

I am somewhat surprised that everyone has said Messi. Ronaldo has had a very prolific year, scoring over 40 goals, assisting many, many more, and showcasing his outstanding skills. In my opinion, Ronaldo deserves to be the best player in the world at the moment, however, Messi will surpass him very, very soon.

prolific doesnt equal good. hes the second best player in the world for sure but messi is better irrelevant of stats

I cannot really argue that, as it's your opinion, so I will just say forty-odd goals in a season means a great player. Combine that with his great dribbling skills, dead-ball ability, heading etc. I would say he is the best in the world.

Messi can actually head the ball with his hand and make it look convincing and he is much more creative than Ronaldo

Do not remind me of that. It was against Espanol.

espanyol are coming 18th

Max stop agreeing with Tim.

what the hell I have always thought Messi is better stop making crappy judgements based on me agreeing with Tim twice, which is only once more than agreeing with him one time. And what would happen if I said Ronaldo? "Oi Max stop agreeing with me!" What am I meant to say? Both are equal and soccer wins on the day? Sod off, Messi rules

i get excited to watch games with messi involved. i cant say that about ronaldo

but i know this is meant to be an objective discussion but meh.

hahaha max explosion. I actually agree with you tim, i much prefer Messi as a viewing prospect and as a player. However this is not about who is the better entertainer, I maintain that when one is choosing the player of the year one has to rely to some degree on stats, and for a forward/midfielder such as Messi and Ronaldo goals do come into play. Thus Ronaldo had a far better year, and thus, in my opinion deserves to get the award. Not to say that in the future he will be a better player than Messi, in actuallity I believe he will have a terrible year next year as his heart is not in the game, he wants to be at Madrid. But as the award is based on the years play he deserves it as a result of his prolific goal scoring and his equal skill level to Messi.

This thread is about choosing between Messi and Ronaldo, and if I had a choice between a player who scored 100 goals in four games and a player who scored 1 goal in 106 games but was exciting and creative I would definitley choose the exciting and creative guy. (Messi of course)

max do you read? The post is for the BEST, not the most exciting player. If the best player in the world was decided by excitement Paul Robinson, Marlon Harewood, and Joey Barton would be in the running. A cricketing equivalent is Chris Martin woudl win, he is very fun to watch, however is a far worse batsman than Ponting.
