Messi - The greatest player ever?

[Dr Rocktopus]

Probably but then as an athlete Cristiano is physically superior to Messi, which will help him have greater longevity.

I'd say Ronaldo is just about the perfect footballing specimen. If you could build a footballer physically you'd make them like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Mentally Messi is much better.

 

[Shotgunofmichalebrow]

He's also not a rapist.

Jokes aside Totti there wasn't anything in that was there?

 

[Dr Rocktopus]

Mentally Messi is much better.

Care to elaborate Notabadsquad or do you want to embarrass yourself explaining why the consistently brilliant Messi isn't mentally better than an inconsistent drug addict?

I'll wait.

 

[Dr Rocktopus]

Embarrass myself. Deary me.

Ronaldo is every bit if not more Messi's equal in terms of mentality.

For anyone to suggest different is to play to an agenda as opposed to see the facts as presented.

Tut tut.

 

[Notabadsquad]

Mentality is overrated.

Messi is better FOOTBALLER. He can do more things than Ronaldo. When we measure GOATs, you have to look what are they on the pitch. And Ronaldo was always a winger or nowadays number 9.

Messi is a lot more.

Mentality overrated - bizarre.

Adel Taarabt was one of the most talented footballers as was let's say Tony Drago in terms of snooker players.

They both had suspect mentality hence were lesser in overall terms.

Lewis Hamilton is not just an extraordinary talent but has a strength of mind second to none.

I accept sheer talent is largely unquantifiable and hard to better but to dismiss or fail to recognise the full breadth of the importance of mentality seems completely flawed to me.

Neither Messi or Ronaldo can be questioned on that front but in a game and if it were my call I would take Ronaldo over Messi.

I'd say the real Ronaldo, in his Barca spell, was the most sensational player (without the longevity after his body blew up). Incredible. Though Scarlett is very close.

Zest what you think of the goata movement?

 

[SchmoodSpur]

In terms of talent there are only two players who can play in midfield and run a game with passing and creativity setting up goals then play on the wing and beat players for fun and then play up front and score loads. They are Messi and Maradona the most complete footballers of all time. By coincidence both are Argentinian.

Exactly.

Write down a list of the most important attributes of a footballer and Messi comes out on top in nearly every one of them.

Ronaldo certainly can't pass the ball like Messi.

 

[Zest]

Zest what you think of the goata movement?

Makes sense.

 

[SchmoodSpur]

Ronaldo is superior in every way and has won more Messi ever will - nice try, kid

Lol

 

[Team Tanguy]

Yeah, it encapsulates it in lecithin (usually) and this allows it a straight bloodstream route, more or less, old forms are very iffy (Ascorbic Acid or the buffered choices) as your body will dump ascorbates or not absorb it from foods/fluids if your fluids fall below pH6.2 which is a tight gig.

I've always thought 90% of standard products in health and fitness stores are bollocks that give you nothing but expensive piss/poo but now I feel like it's closer to 95% or more.

With regards to multi vits I heard that magnesium type is a good indication for quality, with magnesium oxide the cheapest form therefore making it likely the rest is trash? With magnesium citrate, aspartate, malate, or bisglycinate having much better bioavailability?

I was told the ideal multi has methylcobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin (apparently cobalamin bound with cyanide?!)

SchmoodSpur (aka Sam Messi) celebrated when Messi scored against us - tells your everything

Tells your everything?

 

[ArcspacE]

And regardless Maradona was better than Messi.

Simply an irresistible force on the biggest stage

My metric of greatness.

He and Pele bestrode all overs.

100%

 

[superstaryid]

Messi was fucking useless when I saw him live , I couldn't believe our luck , Cristiano was pretty good.

 

[SpiderSpurs]

Pele congratulated Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portugal forward's hat-trick against Cagliari took him past the Brazilian legend's tally of goals scored in official matches.

Ronaldo netted three times inside the opening 32 minutes to take his career total to 770 - three clear of Pele's tally of 767.

Again, best ever club player quite possibly although....

Certainly greatest one-club player.

Best EVER Player - No.

Same argument as Kane for me but even higher grade.

Cometh the Biggest moment- for Messi and top top players and then the World Cup - Maradona or Pele.

Just has to be.

 

[ArcspacE]

I mean.....................

Helps when he playes against 16 teams of farmers every season

 

[Notabadsquad]

Messi has bottled every single major international tournament and will never achieve Maradona's GOAT status - he is the greatest Argentina player to date

If there is a better to come than Maradona on a world stage, be he Argentian or whatever then that wil be some player.

 

[Jenny Talia]

I think Giggsy has damaged his chances.
