Quoted from Gaffer58
Messi has to carry basically a whole team, I think it shows that the very top 4/5 club sides, e.g. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Man City etc are better than probably every national side.


I reckon most Premier League teams could win the World Cup. They have the advantage of training together all year round and being able to pick players which complement one another and work well together.

Yeah im kidding.  Of course he's world class.  I just want to know what classes u as being "world class" thats all.  Cant argue with both Messi and Ronaldo top top players.  Argentina have never really got the best out of messi.


Being world class surely just means one of the best in the world in your position? He's one of, if not the, best player of all time.

I think it is unfair to judge him on the Croatia game. A decent goalie would have made a tremendous difference to the whole team and Croatia did a good marking job on him.

However, in the previous game Messi had the ball a lot more than anyone else, he had good chances for goals and opportunities for assists where he went for glory himself. It was as if he felt he had to win the game on his own and he didn’t trust his team mates. I got the feeling that a reaction to that showed  in the way his team mates played with him in the Croatia game.

It’s not the first time I’ve had the feeling that Messi finds it hard to be a team player in a side of lesser lights, and that contrasts with the way Ronaldo’s team works with him to get him into areas where he can be most deadly. That’s not just an ability thing is it? Messi has that in spades, but it takes more than just ability to be a great player in my book.

Messi is a better footballer than Ronaldo. But Ronaldo, on the big game stage, is a completely different animal. He drags his teams through the game with his work rate and will win at all costs.

It does make you wonder why Argentina are so bad when you see their standard of player.

Just interested to know. In what way do you think is he better?

The Serbia v Switzerland game could go either way (1-1)...into the last 15 mins

Personally I can't stand Ronaldo but in my opinion he comes very close to being the best player EVER.

Switzerland's Shaqiri trying to impress Klopp to get his transfer to Liverpool, bit too greedy for me, always wanting to be the centre of attention.
