My preference is Messi as he's magical to watch and is the peak of natural ability.I've always had a preference for Ronaldo. He's probably not quite as naturally gifted as Messi but there's something inspiring in the way he's worked as hard as he has to improve himself and get the absolute maximum and more from himself. I remember when he was a spotty teenager and he was all stepovers and not a lot else.
Ronaldo brings that myth back to life. Messi is magic though. Ronaldo is incredible, but Messi is art. The day Leo retires will be one of the saddest days for football. I've actually run out of superlatives for him. Normally I hope France or England win the WC (because Albania will never make it), but for this WC alone I hope with all my heart Argentina wins it, only because of Messi.Messi single handedly destroys the myth that all you need is hard work and a bit of luck to be the best at what you do.
He was born with it. He had better ball control and dribbling at 8 than mos of us ever did in our school days.
