I won't compare him to Maradona, i don't think he's as good as Diego was, but i don't even want to have an argument about that as i haven't seen Maradona live, and i didn't watch him week in week out like i do with Messi. But does anyone still believe that Ronaldo is a better player than Messi??

What does Messi actually have to do before he can be considered better though? Carry a team on his shoulders to a WC triumph? That's not really fair. Plus, look at his coach. I bet Maradona took the Argentina job to prevent Messi from winning the WC.

no he would simply have to play, be more skilled than Diego, not to mention play in an era where it's ok to tackle from behind and try to take your leg out with each challenge. It's not even a contest skill-wise...

Ya, well people change their minds? Did you not change yours?
Nope, Messi was playing like he is now at the time of voting, I thought Ronaldo was the better player then and I still do now. Granted 99% of the world may disagree with me.

If I'm being truly honest I prefer watching Zidane to Messi and think he is the best player I have ever witnessed playing.
That is extremely understandable and Zidane may well be the better player, i don't know. I used to say there was a world of difference between Zidane and Messi, but lately i've changed my mind. Messi could be just as good imo.


But do you really still think C.Ronaldo is a better player than Lionel?

Better player? perhaps not the more effective one then yes.

What does Messi have to do to convince you then?

Can you honestly and objectively say with a straight face that Ronaldo is capable of what Messi is doing this season? Is he having a better season in your opinion?

Forget about being right for a second Nick, be honest.

Ronaldo has missed more games than Messi this season and it's his first in La Liga so how can one compare their seasons? if Ronaldo had played as much as Messi then I can cast judgement not know.

What do you mean by this?

Many people don't like to admit they're wrong, i really do not think Ronaldo is capable of producing the football that Messi has in the past two seasons. the amount of goals he scores, the amount of solo goals he scores, the way he completely dominates big teams like he did to us today and like he did countless times against Real Madrid, scoring a brace last season and scoring a hattrick against them 3 seasons ago.

I really cannot see how one can still say with a straight face that Messi is not a better and more effective player than Ronaldo. IMO there is really only one explanation, in one word: Bias

There really is no other explanation at all.
