@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall So how do you defeat the system product/one team wonder allegations that could be raised. Could easily be said that Barcelona adapted their game to Messi’s play style but all of Ronaldo’s teams, he had to fit in as their striker.

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall Gather the grocery lists.

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall So if there was a conversation in 2022, but not after Messi won the World Cup, then if Ronaldo goes and scores 5 penalties and Portugal wins this World Cup, then what gives?

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall Messi fan would mute replies. Isn’t that the same reaction Ronaldo gave? Didn’t want to answer a question about another player, so he didn’t. Can’t blame him lol

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall Messi a striker?

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall Already discussed this. One thing Messi does have though is more handball goals lol.

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall We already discussed the penalty argument. They either matter and Ronaldo is top goal scorer, or they don’t and Messi didn’t carry Argentina to a World Cup trophy.

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall Are we not both twitter fans? Grocery list arguments lmao

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall It is a team effort. I’m not claiming Ronaldo carried his team like Messi fans say that he carried Argentina though. Ronaldo performed at the highest level in a team sport. And those weren’t 90% penalties in each tournament.

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall But muh dribble better! Bring something new and enlightening to the table.

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall It’s expected since Ronaldo plays in Europe, but the quality of Europe is better than the quality of South America. Don’t lie.

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall But I’m not claiming Messi carried Argentina like you guys are. That’s your issue to work through. Are penalties OK, or no? If they are, then Ronaldo is top goal scorer. If they aren’t, then Messi didn’t carry Argentina to a World Cup and can’t be given that heavenly placard.

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall 2/3 of those were Messi teammates, and Rooney didn’t like Ronaldo for many reasons. Cmon now. I’m not asking for a grocery list of players who think Messi is better because I can make one of the opposite list, but your initial arguments are so so so lacking in depth.

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall Muh teammate thinks Messi better! Pique ended up on his ass because of Ronaldo dribbles/goals multiple times and you’re going to try to argue that point. From an aesthetics standpoint, un-winnable counterpoint.

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall One team wonder vs proven in 3 top European leagues. Many of Messi’s Balon dors are controversial. World Cup is a team effort. Penalties can’t be the reason Messi “carried” Argentina.

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall I have you so many characteristics of goal scorer, and you just revert back to G/A and ‘muh dribbling.’ Please provide something I didn’t already respond to.

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall Again, failed to eliminate the 5 penalty argument.

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall You failed to argue my 5 penalty carry argument. Also, European qualifiers are more difficult than South American. Why else would Europe get more spots at the World Cup?

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall I agree it’s amazing competition. You know top level club football is better though, and the louder Messi fans still try to act as if Ronaldo WC performance damns him to oblivion when he literally outperforms at the Champions League, the highest level of sport. 3 diff teams btw.

[Patrick III @the25920]

@YesavageK48333 @SPA_CEMAN10 @MartienBall I just mentioned numerous stats that Messi can’t compete with. Pure wizardry, yeah for sure, but you act as if Ronaldo was never in the conversation with his skill either. Ask Pique which laying down position while watching a Ronaldo shot hit the back of the net is.
