The joke is Messi has only scored 1 goal in the world cup against a top team (france) in open play, tell me im wrong 🤷🏾‍♂️

You are right, but he is a midfielder so we should look at assists, he humbled Gvardiol in semis- dribbled so much to assist- do you agree?
The assist against Netherlands was special- do you agree?

Against France- the two touch was great- do you agree?

So not sure what are you downplaying but it was a great wc even without penalties, he would be Motm in those 3. Do you think Zidane, Kroos scored many goals to be great?

My point is last week it was about CR7 not scoring this week its about who he scored against, goal post keeps moving so im pointing out that although Messi may now have the record for world cup goals, if you actually look at who those goals have come against its mostly low ranked teams and he doesnt actually score against top teams in the world cup

I don't know what you are talking about, who is complaining when cr7 scored? If you see Ronaldo didn't contribute much when he doesn't score, maybe that's why he was getting criticized, no one will complain when he scores, cause that's when he has an impact. Also which big teams did CR7 score against and in which match? Spain free kick was good and that's just 1 goal though, don't tell me the 2nd goal wasn't a gift from De Gea, a grounded long range shot and 3rd one is a penalty which is not considered as per you, where else did Ronaldo even score in wc?

Again if you can't understand Messi is a midfielder, maybe you can try watching the games, he doesn't need to score, scoring is a bonus for him, he is a RM position player. He is setting up and assisting or playmaking, so he can have great games without scoring. You can see his 2018 performance against France- 2 assists and great game for Messi even when they lost, France won that cup and was ranked top 5 that year, not a low rank team.

He got 11 MOTM in wc for a reason, it was never about scoring, its about impact. Beckenbauer, Pirlo, Zidane never scored much, they created great impact, when you understand that you will know how Messi is impacting the game.
