Absolutely wild. This puts an end to that debate. Messi joins Maradona as 2nd best ever now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheddira man. The absolute legend. Was going to get a Morocco shirt with his name if they won it all Apparently scoring for fun in Bari, which is insane considering he looked nothing like a footballer.

Suggesting he is the best ever was always nuts. Messi is now ahead of Maradona and Pele after today for me. In terms of players I've watched play (not live obvs) - 1. Messi 2. Original Ronaldo 3. Fake Ronaldo Maradona and Pele behind Messi if I'm including players I've not seen, and probably Cruyff behind Original Ronaldo, so: 1. Messi 2. Maradona 3. Pele 4. Original Ronaldo 5. Cruyff 6. Fake Ronaldo And if I'm really going with my heart and not my head, stick Hatem on his best day in at no. 2 Edited December 18, 2022 by LiquidAK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I don’t think this changes anything in terms of the goat debate. There is and always will be a debate, between who is best from Pele, Maradona, and Messi. Ronaldo isn’t in the conversation as incredible as he is.

I never saw Pele but still seems mad to think anyone would ever come close to Maradona, but maybe you're right. So happy for him anyway, I thought he was destined to miss out for the last time on a World cup winners medal. Props to the manager as well, brave call to bring back Di Maria who I thought was a bit of flop at Man U, and in previous world cups. I got that massively wrong.

Would have been incredible had Lauturo buried the header up the other end when they broke forward right after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 8 minutes ago, Kid Icarus said: Whatever Team of the tournament you had before this, Martinez and MacAllistar have to go in now MacAllister was outrageously good. On a pitch littered with talent and a few superstars. He arguably stood out the most. Special shoutout to De Paul. He really is a dog of war. Doesn’t seem to have much ability. But just grafts his bollocks off. Not trying to play down their achievement or how good Scaloni has been in the knockouts with his tactics. But it is arguably the workrate from the Argies, with moments of brilliance. Is what won them the tournament. Their energy levels were outstanding.

Chuffed that he finally got his big moment in the WC, tbf. At his age, and given Argetina's continued disappointments, I feared that he would never get that. Feels like that his legacy is finally complete now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 The only argument left against Messi is the multiple leagues one. It's the only one he's got left and by far the weakest one too. What a player, fucking hell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Messi’s still got a lot left to prove until he signs for NUFC and wins the PL of course. Shame he won’t be able to experience the crucible of rainy Wednesday night games at Stoke anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
