Messi is good in his own way and the same with C.Ronaldo, but CR is a complete player
To me if messi leave bacelon his career is call a quit .so I prefer ronaldo because he defend his title any team he is playing in

Without Barcelona there’s no messi
WITHOUT MESSI THERES NO BARCELONA
Right Messi Is the best Player Now Then Forever
you’re fucking stupid Barcelona is not just messi there are a lot of great players like Xavi Iniesta Alexis Neyma etc
totally agree, end of the day it’s the TEAM, without supply from Xavi, Iniesta, Alex or Dani Alvis, Messi will not be able to score. I agree with you Marta
LONEL MESIS IS THE BEST FOOTBALLER IN THE WORLD

MESSI IS THE BEST NO DOUGHT
Funny fans, Messi is the controller General of the round leather game, C. Ronaldo has also accepted that fact, Messi is a father to Ronaldo in football
arguing abt messi and Ronaldo is like refusing the decisions that have led to messi winning awards infront ronaldo
normally cr7 is the best. a winger competing with a forward. can u imagine who CR7 is?
cr7 is by far de best he proves it anywhere he goes, without barca there’s no messi
edmooo ndooo, u have eyes but u r blind, and u have ears but u r deaf,u and ur christia is zero zero to the world, even ur cr have admit it that Messi is his father when it come to football, if Messi stop football today his bell will still be ring to the ears of next 10 to 50 generations to come, remember that he is the first football history breakers, ronaldo is just like adolf hitler of germany.nothing good about him, cr is always arrogant and pomposity. who cares for him
Sunny, you hit the bulls eye. CR is very selfish, only like to score, very saldom he passes the ball, he is only interested in his records, where else, Messi is humble, down to earth no air about himself that’s why more people like him then CR
U guys are mad!!! Messi is the. Best are you craZy!!!!!!!!

A person who work in different areas of profession is the best person ever, A person work as a Loan Officer, HR staff on Training and Development, Treasury officer,Risk Officer and An Auditor all of which he work very well and not one dept. will want to let him go to another so can U say an other guy working as Head of Risk Is More better to the institution than the Man who work in most of the Depts.with very good records. My friends so is Football, C- Boy should be the best on Earth because he work in sooooo many depts, meaning soooo many Leagues, he must be the best.
Messi is humble and not selfish. therefore he is the best for me

el sharawi is the best
RONALDO A.K.A. C-BOY. HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE BEST BY MERIT,BUT, MESSI IS JUST BEEN FAVORED BY THE POLITICS FIFA PLAY THIS DAYS. I CAN NEVER RECOGNISE MESSI AS THE WORLD BEST,BECAUSE HE HAS NEVERED WON IT CONVINCINGLY. WHEN,CR7 WAS IN MANCHESTER UNITED, HE WON IT BASE ON MERIT,OK. HE WON THE CHAMPION LEAQUE,EPL,FA-CUP,CARLING CUP AND THE GOLDEN BOOT. BUT NOW WHAT CRITERIA DID FIFA USE TO GIVE MESSI WORLD BEST. WORLD CR7 HAS MORE GOALS THAN MESSIAND MESSI ,COULD NOT EVEN SCORE VINCENT EYEAMA OF NIGERIA A SINGLE GOAL, AND U CALL HIM BEST. MESSI CAN ONLY PLAY IN BARCA WERE U HAVE PLAYERS LIKE INIESTA,XAVI,FABREGAS,THIS ARE WORLD CLASS MID-FIELDERS WHO MAKE IT EASY 4 MESSI TO BE NOTICE. OTHERWISE,MESSI WILL BE A FLOPP. WERE WAS MESSI WHEN BAYERN MUNICH TRASH BARCA 10 GOALS HOME AND AWAY? PLEASE LET US BE FAIR TO CR7.FOR HIS CONSISTENCY. FROM ONE CLUB TO ANOTHER WINING MEDALS. HE WHEN TO LA-LIGA AND WON A GOLDEN BOOT WERE MESSI HAS BEEN AND THE LALIGA. WITH MESSI STILL IN SPAIN. PLEASE CHECK THE ALL ROUND GOALS SCORED BY EACH OF THEM IN THIER CARRIER,THEN U CAN GET BACK TO ME. FIFA PLS ALWAYS BE FAIR AND GIVE PLAYERS THE AWARDS THEY REALLY DISERVE OTHERWISE, ALL FANS WILL GO ON STRIKE AGAINST FIFA. TAKE NOTE.
hey dude relax, there is no FIFA or FA, it’s the voting system, there is no indedual decession on this BEST PLAYER, and also not much to do with the goals, it’s the performence round the year. Yes CR did extremly well by scoring 4 crusial goals to his country and also for RM is recured them a very imp time. This year he deserve the award.
But if you notice the play between these two there is diffrence, CR is not handle pressure and his game goes down but where as Messi can handle pressure and score at the same time, for sure CR can storm and score from a distance but you need sceal, tectics to come in the box and score
both are good in thier own way
where are all this money coming from to pay this players with.Those peoples should help AFRICA with it.
I will make my own money like those players.
i dont think CR7 is the best player by K.O.D from MGB
MESSI IS THE WORLD BEST PLAYER .
WHY WILL A SON LOOK AT THE FATHER N SAID HE IS USELESS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THE SON VERY EXISTENCE IS BECAUSE OF THE FATHER.
this is just a few words comparing Messi N Cronaldo
CR is a very good forwarder but not as good as Messi
Christiano rolnado remaind the best in the world. He is far far better than messi, no iniesta, fabracas, xivi no messi,
Jordi Alba ,Alexis and Fabregas THE BEST
Whe talking about football to me is all about giving poeple what their eye wish to see out they(picth) and to me they is only one man who can stand out in this,a man who’s every were in a team making sure that all when well with the team a man who heart beat is for his team to win every game,a man who’s lives in any type of country and make success his daily book,a man who’s gives live to every things he does a man who’s cheir and happiness to poeple and make them ask for more a man his touch on a picth bring nothing but moment of wonders to all that sepend their time and money to come and watch him and there will feel like they should never be a stopping time when he is on what he knows what to do best …its pains me most when people waist their energy and time talking about a man that has no comparizan CR and Messi is not to be comparing because at the end he CR remains the only man standing
cr wid a small letter n MESSI WID A CAPITAL LETTERS, Too me Messi is d best of all dat is why pele dnt want to see his face bcoz d comparizm between him n Messi, n i want to ask why not cr?
Wetin messi don do 4 barcelona when cr7 neva do b4 cr don go everywhere win trophies make messi try commot 4 dat barca make we c welder we go hear he name again 4 international cr dey do well but messi na dey do well cr7 u 2 much carry go no b bad market if dey like make dey like u or hate u,u go dey c my support shaw 4 master
If you guys think that Messi is the best football player in the world, then you guys have smoked that green. He is a good scorer, not the player. He doesn’t play like Ronaldo, he just scores. The best player should have all tactics like Ronaldo does. I’m not telling you guys that Messi is an asshole, but when you compare Ronaldo and Messi, Ronaldo is far better than Messi in term of player. Messi is a scorer, Ronaldo is a winger, you can’t compare their goals and just bark here. For example, Bill Gates failed in several classes in College but still became the richest person in the world. So, don’t compare players with the goals they have scored. Compare them with their skills and ability.
Hahahahhahahhaah come to it when people are just saying shit about messi, where was cr7 when leo messi won everything just coz messi is sideline some fucking dudes just came out and say shit about messi but don’t forgot that blessing comes from god not by makeing mouth as cr7 and his so fucking fans do, leo messi just cool down let god fight for u as he always do, cr7 keep crying lololololol dudes
You can do better without the “F” word in your comments…
Those who say politics are been played are only looking for excuses.u don’t have to argue blindly,we’re was cr7 when records wer been broken.cr7 is good but cannot be compared to ronaldinho not to talk about a four times ballon d or winner.
Someone should please shed the light.
messi is the best player, we done need any agreement.
messi is a great player but cr7 still remains the best player in the world
CR7 is the best soccer player in d world…..Messi is just and ordinary GOD OF FOOTBALL….
i love you messi you are the best no matter what happens you are all the way messinona
The world best is still leo messi, he play football that inspire team, fans and
Pple watching…. He move the ball like is d creator of football… 4 M̶̲̥̅ƹ no 1
can b compare wit him presently(in is tenure) he’s out of player in dis
world… C. Ronaldo is also a among d best but is behind leo messi d record breaker and record setter
C. Ronald is not well happy in Messi tenure bcos Messi is ahead of him
I like the German players and clubs though not millionaire but they are better football players won’t you agree? the likes of Newer, Frank Rivery, Arjen Robben, Mandukic, Lewandowski, Reus etc.,

yes
nah, to be honest Raheem Sterling is the best in the world
king leo
I think the persond who do not have any know how about foot ball can say CR7 is the best but when we go to reality by his behaviuor and his ability messi is the best best best of all the world’s player.most people who supports CR7 say that if there is no xavi, inesta messi can not score. but it is totally wrong. when messi controls a ball he looks like the creater of the ball. messi is not the only the striker but he is also the defender,the midfielder. any player cannot take a ball from messi. if the player wants to take the ball he must make a foul. I think you Sergio Ramos every time he makes a foul in messi b/c messi cannot give a ball easily to the player of other clubs but when we go to CR7 when one player takes a ball from his leg he always cries to judge. When we speak in reality the ability of CR7 is scoring of a goal far apart. CR7 is a selfish player. he makes everything as an individual game but there are 11 players in one club. when we go to CR7 he wants to play individually in 90 minutes. Tptally we I conculude all the above my ideas CR7 is the father of cry but messi is the father of football, he is the creater of a ball.
If u say messi is d bst wat about me samoski or u all of una b balli
messi is the best of the best. on other player can b compare to him.
True that I am barc fan but a hrd wrk blss I wl gv to cr7 ..messi he’s also best wth 75% nt lyk cr7
CR is a best player dont compare with Messi its to far to compare him
come on ronaldo, fuck you messi little cunt and bitch
you know don’t blame these guys nfl and mlb get paid way more and do fkall, at least these guys have skill..also nfl and mlb why they get paid $30 million a season its so sad..ppl should bitch on them instead of look at footballers..thy play 45-50 games a season, nfl what do they do
