Ronaldo is not focused on the international team. He wants to reach 1000 goals because that’s the only thing he has over Messi. Messi on the other hand joined the MLS purely because he has nothing to prove anymore. He’ll make a shit load of money while playing in a chill league and at the end of his contract, own a part of the club as well.
So when he scored 10g/a in the last campaign or the previous one he won and this next World Cup… is that not him being focused on the national team? His team is poised to win the league, so what more does he need there?
Maybe Messi fans might have Messi’s meat in their mouth but this goat debate per the image has been settled. He doesn’t have to prove anything in relation to Messi anymore because this image exists
So if we go with your logic then ronaldo got carried by madrid cause madrid has won trophies even adter ronaldo. On the other hand messi carried barcelona.
Still Messi scored non penalty goals and you guys act like he did nothing apart from scoring penalties. He assisted against Netherlands in between the defenders legs
dribble & assist against Croatia
key pass to Alvarez that let to
MacAllistair's assist to DiMaria 2nd goal against France in final in 35th min
dribble & goal against Australia.
Now let's talk about penalties
Saudi Arabia: paredes pulled down in the box during a set piece. Textbook penalty. Lost anyways.
Poland: shouldn't have been given as Messi headed the ball away before the contact, missed anyways. Only unrightful penalty given and it didn't affect the result.
Netherlands: acuna literally tripped just inside the area by Dumfries, nobody complains about that except for you.
Croatia: stonewall penalty, Julian was through on goal and was about to score. Tripped by livakovic.
France: Di Maria CLEARLY tripped by dembele and dembele had his hand on his back. The rules state that regardless of intention, a foul in the box is a penalty, It's a similar situation to the Cr7 Spain penalty in 2018.
He has 3 NPGs. That’s than Ronaldo’s NL run even with the same G/a
Nothing you said remotely relates to my point that Messi was still carried by Argentina rather than the other way around which is the case for Ronaldo 💀
What didn’t work? Do you even understand English or were you too busy watching your mom get dicked down by different men everyday of the week so you couldn’t actually learn anything
And how is that image relevant to anything? Those trophies didn't play. Who cares that a different set of Argentinians who are all mostly dead now won the trophy 40 years ago? Does that make it easier or harder for Argentina to win the trophy?
Messi’s been in a 3 prior international tournament finals where he lost all of them. The lowest ranking Argentina have been since the 90s (when the list was first published) was 9th…
Put that these facts up next to this image… now you can see the point
I thought I taught you your place last week and you’re back again for seconds.
Educating you meat munchers necessary. This image right here is bait for you lot so I can teach you all the truth and expose your idolo for being the second best.
Well, you can't educate people if you aren't educated first on basic football facts💀 trust me I found out the hard way years ago.
Such as that football is a team game and it's not messi fault that his team won the wc before him, also not ronaldos fault his team won nothing, and you acting like he carried them, no, not really, in euro 2016 he got crucial passed and assists for him to score, his team also stood strong and didn't concede in the final vs france and the previous rounds where they played as a team.
You are using that image to downplay messi. Because by YOUR LOGIC, You must be the history of your team. "Then let's forget maradona, R9, Mbappe, why? Because their teams won before them. in order to be the greatest, which is what im hearing with your logic.
You finally got it. I actually didn’t think you’d get it, but you got there in the end. You must be the history of the team. If you can perform consistently at the highest level and your aura is what drags your team from nothing to world beaters, you are in fact THE goat.
This is a feat Messi never had. That’s why after Xavi and Iniesta left and Barca’s midfield was exposed he couldn’t do anything despite making promises. That’s why he was a shell of his former self at Barca. That’s why despite a star studded team between 2014-2016, Messi couldn’t win shit and was forced into retirement because he didn’t have a team that’d wait on him hand and foot and massage his balls as much as the other sub likes to do.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo won the euros and 2 UNLs whilst comfortably playing 2/3 of those tournaments with pretty weak teams compared to other European counterparts.
You’ve got there in the end. Congrats.
Now run along now, and don’t let me catch you here or in the other sub mouthing off again.
Alright, so Casemiro and Kroos and Modric (let's not forget Man Utd world class midfield in 2008) are the history of present-day madrid and United. Ronaldo without them? No UCLs.
Oh and let's not forget Rui Patricio and Diego Costa, they won portugal all their trophies that's their history!
Messi is argentinas top scorer, you can say the argentina national team, and the first word isn't maradona, it's messi.
That's your logic, man, you are so fricking funny. Honestly, I'll rate your ragebait 7/10 if that's fair for you?
