manpe 10,861 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 One of the best to play club football. I want him to excel on national level also, but nowadays it's harder, I don't think there is a standout player at the moment on national football level. It's too soon to label him as the best ever, if he keeps at it for years to come, then I might consider saying in the future "I witnessed the greatest player ever". Of modern football I think he's fairly on par with the two Ronaldos and Ronaldinho. I actually think Fat Ronaldo surpasses him for the moment being and Ronaldinho was more entertaining to watch, but Messi is still young and has scary talent... I won't compare him to Peles and Maradonas, because they played in different eras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still shines when they don't play with him at Barca. Of course they are a factor, but he's still very, very good individually.In the end.. All they provide is a very accurate pass. But what Messi does is.. Extraordinary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest justin_3d Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 The best of this era yes!And please stop bringing up the excuse of nationals, cause that's not worth mentioning anymore. 20 years ago and into the past was when Nationals where the best.Now there is no point in playing them. We only play them just to represent our country and be happy for our country.But as far as a spectacle for this sport, it's a joke!The CL has now become the most important tournament of this sport. And in that event, Barcelona Messi has been one of the best i ever seen play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 You're all talking rubbish. Paul Scholes was the best ever. I should know I managed him all through his career.Mind the boy Rooney might become as great if I stay on another 10 years. By which time I should be Lord Ferguson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 He is truly amazing, but I can't compare him to Pele and Maradona since I never watched them play and that football was a bit different then. If he continues playing like for around 5-6 years which I think he will, then he will definitely be the best ever.Ronaldo is amazing player too, but what he misses for me is to make the difference in big matches. Sure he does that, but not as often as Messi. CR is a more complete player, but he loses the ball often and wastes some chances, while Messi will either make a very dangerous run, shoot very accurately from a distance or send a wonderful pass to a teammate.

SinineUltra 1,170 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Messi is certainly very very good.. with CR they are the best in the world atm.. i can't really draw a line between them two bcs they both got their pros.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 ^ Unlike a few years back, nowadays we can't compare the false Ronaldo and Messi... Since Messi is a class above of Ronalda [sic]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He & Messi are in their own league, where of course Messi comes out on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 A couple years ago I would have said him and Ronaldo are close, but now I think he's better than Ronaldo, best of this era and possibly all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguelito 459 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 messi is the best of his generation.what i dont understand is how everyone talks about ronaldo, ronaldinho, pele, maradona, messi, scholes, and other all time greats without putting zinedine zidane in to the conversation. i saw one person in the thread put him in to the talk but to me he is the greatest ever.give respect to this guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
