Posted December 18, 2022 @UnbornTao But he was the secret weapon and the key to the game. He could have stayed a little longer to keep some pressure as advanced defense to prevent France from advancing. Right after he was out, the French started playing into Argentina's field. He scored a goal and created the penalty. France was not even able to breathe or take control of the ball during his shift. Should have stayed in my opinion. That would have made it a lot easier to win without extra time. Foolish until proven other-wise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top 10 would be players like Ronaldinho, Henry, Zidane, Roberto Carlos, Maradona, Pele, Muller, Messi, etc. There are way greater players than Ronaldo, even though he scored a lot. Cristiano definitely in the top 10-15. Don't forget his 5 "golden balls." Disappointing last couple seasons, that might be why he's been discredited. Why would the debate Messi vs Ronaldo exist in the first place if the latter didn't deserve it? Edited December 20, 2022 by UnbornTao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it was some weird gimmick they'd cooked up for Messi specifically, on account of him being one of the all-time greats and this being his last World Cup. Bet he still felt like a bit of a wally though.

Disappointing last couple seasons, that might be why he's recently been discredited. Why would the debate Messi vs Ronaldo exist in the first place if the latter didn't deserve it? This hurts a bit but Messi is the best, although 2 of his golden balls (lol) weren't deserved imo. There's something that Messi will never win... a UEFA Euro. Cristiano was great. No doubt about that. But he's not a game-changer. He's not the kind of player that weighs as 5 others, nor one that turned the tables except with his infamous free kicks. I really liked him when almost every free kick was a penalty, and basically a goal scored for him. I think when his fans compare him to Messi, they compare titles and awards, basically numbers. But a player is more than just numbers. Football is an art, and Cristiano to me is a try-hard artist. He's not natural like the players I listed. But he's also not so exceptional and unnatural. That's why he declined so bad. His skills are almost limited to scoring/finishing. Messi is capable of a lot more. Madrid also brought him from Manchester with the most expensive deal recorded at the time. That added an extra hype and made comparisons a necessity since they started playing in the same league.
