By far the funniest part is when anyone rambles about Messi internationally, where the adaptable goat has failed to resemble an elite player in major tournaments.
That too with a team whose worst rank going into every Euro/WC since 2006 has been 11th (same as Argentina).
Ronaldo fans really manufactured "adaptability" as a metric because they have nothing tangible to rely upon while superficial explanations are easier to sell.
"mentality" "messi exposed at psg" "ronaldo 3 different clubs"
Lol.
"CR much better when you look at what I want you to look at with 9 different filters" 😂
The gap between their league careers alone puts Messi in a different dimension, CR getting compared to him for managing a similar goalscoring tally is his single greatest accomplishment.
@maktub_61 Never heard a proper argument, only sentimental, superficial & appeal to authority
Probably because there aren’t really many outside of a better WC career
I mean CR’s much better against elite countries & clubs and far more adaptable when changing clubs
That’s basically all
@steph_fmvp Bro ik it's nice he's leading the race but the games are gonna get much harder, & Mbappe/Kane look much more poised for winning it. He's turning 39 in a day after all.
Chinese Mascherano & Acuna in MIDFIELD, "salvio" "meza" "perez" who weren't even playing in a T5 league during this World Cup.
Lmao. But hey, Maradona nostalgia from 40 years ago makes it easier for them than Netherlands & Portugal.
Cristiano gets the brace vs Ivory Coast trailing 1-0 & his fans discuss how he deciphered the ball's projected path using information unavailable to any other footballer in history, showing a level of spatial computation & use of IQ the rest of the sport simply cannot comprehend.
