@albin57121640@luism8989 And CR7 only played for the best teams. What's your point? Every generation at Barca were vastly different from one another, thus practically different teams.
That is simply not an argument that does anything to justify trying to compare anyone to Messi.
@albin57121640@luism8989 The world cup is insanely hard. It's the crowning jewel of football. It's where players give it their all. Teams not training for as long, or being as drilled as club teams, doesn't really mean anything, since it's mutual for all teams. Has little to no bearing on the difficulty.
@albin57121640@luism8989 You cannot just hand-pick certain moments of incredibly long careers. Both Messi and CR7 have amazing CL campaigns, and have both dominated the tournament. Messi still has a higher goal per game rate in the CL, with a significantly higher expected goals overperformance.
@albin57121640@luism8989 Messi and CR7 are statistically incomparable beyond the category of goal scoring, and Messi has better goal scoring statistics than CR7. So even when you reduce Messi to only a fraction of his statistical greatness in order to compare the two, he still wins.
@DKBSTalk@PSGINT_ That means, in order to justify a comparison between the two, you must first reduce Messi to a mere fraction of his overall greatness, and yet, he still comes out on top, statistically speaking. To claim there is a valid comparison, should strip a person of their voting rights.
@DKBSTalk@PSGINT_ Yes. CR7's peak of dribbling statistically is only comparable to Messi's worst seasons. So no comparison. Same is true for every other overarching element of centralized and attacking football, except for goal scoring, which constitutes a fraction of Messi's greatness.
@DKBSTalk@PSGINT_ In terms of trophies, that was a rough period for Messi, which he has rectified to a degree words can hardly describe already, with 2 Copa's, a finalissima and a world cup. However, Messi as a football player was still in a different universe, regardless of trophies.
@dharmmyjadass1@Ayzush@BigBheLlo@FabrizioRomano Find the video. I would be surprised if that's true. There are countless videos of Bellingham proclaiming Messi as the greatest of all time. His past Twitter activity is that of a Messi fanboy.
You probably got fooled by these embarrassing AI videos made by desperate CR7 fans.
@richh36@freaked211@piersmorgan *Shows a picture of Messi being miles onside, as he is far closer to the dark grass line than the entire English defense line.*
You got smoked by the goat, who switched on his prime playmaking.
@Chukwuebuka_7@Osrandyduo@OneFootball The MLS recognizes the Supporter's Shield as a major trophy, which therefore makes it a major trophy. And no, it's not like winning a group. It's like winning a season long league, because that's what it is.
@RuddellStuart@ney2maa@markgoldbridge "Mistaken identity only applies if a separate player to the one who was cautioned - of either team - actually committed the offence in question."
This is exactly what happened in Argentina vs Switzerland.
Paredes was cautioned, but Embolo committed the offence.

@RuddellStuart@ney2maa@markgoldbridge There was no foul. It was simulation. That's what the rule is for. If a player from team A receives a yellow due to the simulation from team B, VAR can intervene.
@ney2maa@markgoldbridge These idiots don't read the rulebook and then complain about the refs doing their jobs. It's called the Mistaken Identity rule, and it has already been used in this world cup - https://t.co/7GVwhPbFtu
@EroRoshinol@hannibal_l67987@hayasaka_aryan He was in his 20's. It was 2013 before anyone knew shit about either Palestine and Israel, and literally the whole Barca team did on, and UNICEF planned it. He also visited Al-Aqsa and Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
You're actually retarded if you think that makes him a Zionist.
