Let this be known to all Cristiano Ronaldo fan out there....
The only way you can lose a debate to a Messi fan is if you allow them choose how the debate or argument should go, if you don't give them the chance, they'd most likely run or insult you ๐๐๐
Firstly, whenever they say WC knockout goals, tell them "Yes, Messi is superior" but then go on to add UCL and ask them, they'll run or start insulting you lol ๐
If they ask you to put your WC on the table, let them know that
1. Portugal was never a serious football nation (2 WC in total before 2002 ๐, the country was dragging appearance with Cameroon and Nigeria)
2. Prior to 2021, Messi didn't need an international trophy to be the greatest so you too will never accept their own too ๐
If they talk about total goals involvement, tell them goals are the most valid and assist only became a serious thing to push Messi well in the conversation, infact till date, there are no exact assist count for anybody, Ronaldo's assist has been on 250 since 2015 ๐
If they talk about individual awards like Balon D'or, tell them it's inconsistent how they award it, use 2010 to counter 2023 own, they must contradict themselves, use 2021 to counter 2012, they must contradict themselves.
When they talk about eye test(it's mostly about dribbles ๐) tell them Ronaldo is never gonna be a better dribbler than Messi because of his height and Toni Kroos can only dream of doing what Okocha did with the ball, meanwhile dribbling and chances creation is not a coincidence that it's always associated to short players Messi, Maradona, Pele, Ribery, Hazard, Garrincha, if you're 6ft and above and find yourself in the list, it's a compliment of which since opta started counting dribbles, Ronaldo with his 6ft 2 height still made the top 10 ๐๐๐
All these are just for the defense of Ronaldo, I've not even started stating points of Ronaldo like playing in different leagues and co compared to Messi who flopped big time in PSG.
Messi is 4th greatest ever, if you are sure you can defeat me even with your WC, let's have a debate.
Very simple, it's my job to put Messi and his lovers to their place which is 2nd greatest Argentine ever behind Maradona and 4th greatest ever behind Ronaldo, Pele and Maradona.

๐จ๐ณ๐ด ๐ก๐๐ช: A Norway fan has gone viral for refusing to join the team's iconic rowing celebration, and says he won't do it even if they win the World Cup.
"It's historically inaccurate. They didn't ROW across the Atlantic... they SAILED."

As South Africans,we are starved when it comes to football. Especially off the pitch. What do you mean this is how one of the biggest sports presenters around tweets like a fan that cannot take a loss.
For those who aren't clear on what I said. The "touch" on Martinez and that on Salah are the exact same thing. One is a foul and the other isn't even looked at.
Egypt hard done by tonight in my view.. congrats to Argentina though.. they still scored the goals they needed.
Like they're so weird...every game when Argentine play, they do all these, looking for something to discredit or complain about. With Marawa is even cringe, I don't know why he's doing that to himself.
@Lesley380196 You can choose who you think is better, but as a pundit and someone who represents sports media in our country you must always apply sense. They never do. Particularly for Messi.
As far as football goes,you can see why all levels of South African football need a major upgrade. Seeing this with Sir Robert Marawa as well. Disappointing.
If Kylian Mbappรฉ wins another FIFA World Cup, heโll have more World Cups than Lionel Messi.
Cristiano Ronaldo already has more UEFA Champions League titles than Messi.
So serious question: what exactly does Messi have over the other GOAT contenders?
And please donโt say Ballon dโOrโฆ. ending a GOAT debate with journalist votes is hilarious. ๐ญ
