I understand why Man United and Real Madrid fans idolize Ronaldo, but one thing I’ll never understand is how anyone can watch Lionel Messi play and genuinely believe there’s a better footballer than him.
I hate to admit, but Lionel Messi is still the best player in the world playing in the MLS at 39 years, I know it’s hard to comprehend it but it’s the truth
The funniest part about the Messi vs Ronaldo debate right now is that Ronaldo fans have stopped fighting Messi fans and are now attacking Bruno Fernandes. 😂
Messi scores a hat-trick, Ronaldo doesn’t score, and somehow Bruno becomes the villain. 😭
They’re both all-time greats, both GOATs, but even among GOATs, one can still be superior. That’s life. Two people can be the best in their field, and one still edges the other. Loving Ronaldo doesn’t mean you have to deny reality.
The biggest problem in football isn’t lack of knowledge, it’s bias. Once people pick a favorite, facts suddenly stop mattering.
Stats? Messi is clear.
Playmaking? Messi is clear.
Trophies? Messi is clear.
Individual honours? Messi is clear.
Humility? Messi is clear.
But Ronaldo not scoring after Messi bags a hat-trick and Bruno catching the blame? Football Twitter is undefeated.😂
You lost like the Champs that you are today, you didn’t humiliate us, you gave undeserved respect to the Mexicans on the field. We have a team here that can go very far, let’s not give up on this team South Africa. Let us stand behind our Boyz.
I apologize in advance if this applies to you but I sincerely believe that if you think Ronaldo was ever close to Messi, you are of an objectively lower mental status than me, something akin to a sea urchin or maybe a mussel.
Kevin Prince-Boateng said that when he joined the Black Stars, he wondered if the players were dancers or footballers.
This video describes what he meant.
He looked so disinterested. 😭😆
🚨🎙️ Thibaut Courtois on the difference between the Premier League and La Liga:
🗣️ “The difference is much bigger than people think. The Premier League is pure chaos.
Every game feels like a fight. The ball goes from one end to the other, tackles are flying in, and sometimes it feels like teams are attacking simply because they can.
It's entertaining, but not always controlled. LaLiga is different.
Here, football is more intelligent. Teams don't just run. They think.
They move you around the pitch, they make you suffer with possession, and they punish you the second you lose concentration.
As a goalkeeper, I actually find La Liga more demanding mentally.
In England, you face intensity.
In Spain, you face ideas.
You face players who can control an entire match with one touch of the ball.
That's why I always laugh when people say one league is clearly harder than the other.
They're difficult for different reasons.
But if we're talking about technical quality, tactical understanding, and football intelligence, La Liga doesn't get the respect it deserves.
People see the speed of the Premier League and fall in love with the excitement.
I see the quality in Spain and fall in love with the football.”
