Your quotations were ill used
Prove how they were ill used. You jumped into the middle of an on going discussion claiming all that was being discussed was subjective, and that special criteria was being used to discredit Messi.

Basically for you it was merely subjective that we refused to entertain the notion that Messi aged only 23 had already surpassed the likes of Maradona, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Zidane and fat Ronaldo over the span of their entire careers. Plus you claimed that anyone pointing out the obvious fact that club football obscures how great a great player actually is(with even C. Ronaldo and Zidane given as examples) and that Messi would have to prove himself at that level like others before him did, was just cooking it up to bring down Messi.

Once you were called out on it you resorted to calling me a liar, claiming you can prove it and that I'm on an anti Messi agenda. On top having a accused others of just using subjective analysis to target Messi.

Enough of this empty talk of yours. Prove what you are saying like a man.

, maybe you werent saying i said them, using them as an example maybe but you do have a habbit of using them.
Utter bullshit really. Maybe doesn't come into it, for I obviously never said nor accused you of what you claimed and I don't have a habit of saying people have called Messi the best ever right now.

I also, unlike you, don't have an anti player agenda. Even against players I openly hate like Zidane, Romario and Makelele.

I don't need to prove you lied anyway.
Yes you do. If you refuse to you will just prove what a low life a number of us have started to think you are.

I just dont get your indignation at the accusation when you've been proven to do so before by me.
My only indignation is that you have claimed you can prove I'm lying right now with cock sure ease and you have yet to come close to doing so. Trying to use the only time you could prove someone was lying on here as a defence. Tell us. What are you afraid of?

Nobody cared then and they dont now.
You most definitely care. That is why at every opportunity you want to point out how your proved I have lied in the past, as a defence for your refusal to prove what you bragged about. As if that some how absolves you of proving that I'm lying now like you have claimed.

News flash, It does not. If you do not prove what you said you will just prove what a liar you are. On top of what a low life you have become, the type unable to own up to his own blatant errors but all too willing to point them out in others.

The ball is in your court.
 
Messi needs to succeed at the international level if he wants to sit with Maradona and Pele in football heaven

Else he will be regarded as one of the best and most talented players, like Georgie, Cruyff or Di Stefanno, but not as one of the Football Gods

simply because players that had the same habilities like him -maradona and pele- set the bar that high

I don't think he absolutely needs to. In general, I think it is silly to set up absolute criteria for this sort of thing. Same with those who insist he has to do it with a lesser team, just because that was the career path Diego went down.

If he takes the piss at club level for the next ten years and makes a habit of bagging 50 goals a season like he is on course to do this season, there is every reason to see him on par with the likes of Pele and Maradona even if he flops at international level.

Success at international level will go a long way towards catapulting him into that echelon however. But none of these things are set in stone.
 
can't be bothered to multiquote, i admire his patients in this regard. It's his argument winning tool. I don't even see it as an argument, just me talking and him frothing at the mouth.
Flattering yourself I see. It's simple Frankly. Prove your bragadaccio or admit what you were wrong. I'm not ''frothing at the mouth'':wenger: To tell that to you. Believe you me.

I rather eat shit than froth at the mouth:)
 
Comparing Ronaldo to Messi is so unfair. Poor CR7, he shots like a 100 times a match and scores less, he has half the assists Messi has. I think Ronaldo is a good player, Messi is God.

someone, here, said that that second touch was a fluke

that he intended to score there and that afterwards he realized that the ball bounced to him so he hit it for the third time and scored

some people :wenger::wenger:

Indeed, I'd suck many cocks to be able to have the poise and ability that he showed in that instance.

I've only just got round to replying to this.

'kin hell, I hate this multi-quote shite:


That's utterly laughable really tbf. He is in a team sport. If he wasn't at a team like Barca he wouldn't have most of his current records. That is why when he plays for an Argentina, outside his comfort zone in club football he is no where near as potent.

Which doesn't take away a single point I'm making. At Barca they all have optimum conditions. The same way at Real a Ronaldo has optimum conditions to perform. A team built tailored to his strengths and around him. Surrounded by the best players around, playing with them daily for years on end. It's a comfort zone.

Barca are a prime example. The side is built to milk the best out of their 3 best players, Xavi, Iniesta and Messi.

At international level the comfort zone isn't there. Xavi and Iniesta
have won Spain the Euros and the World cup outside their comfort zone. At that level Messi doesn't look so far ahead of them any more does he? Neither does Ronaldo. That is why for me its more level playing field. It allows us to see that the likes of Xavi and Iniesta are not as far behind Messi and Ronaldo as club level makes us think they are.

This whole part of your post proves the consistency of club football as opposed to international. As we've already been over, it is better to judge anything on the planet in a consistent environment whilst making particular judgements.


They really don't. Their play for Spain has proved it. Those Barca lads have dominated midfield play since the days of Ronaldinho. They are just good at it. They even do it with the likes of Bojan playing upfront. It infact they who make it so easy for the Messi's and Villa's to shine.

Spain's formation is different to Barca's, though. There's also the fact that Spain do not dominate a football match like Barcelona do, though they're obviously feckin' amazing.

It's an irrefutable fact that having Messi, Pedro and Villa infront of them is incredibly important to dominating the final third. That is different from controlling the game. Not saying that they're not capable of it either way, but this doesn't detract from what I've said.

No. That's minimising them a bit tbh.Their job appears easier because they play with midfielders who are ace at using the ball. Surround Scholes with such players now, with energy on top of heir passing skills and he'd be consistenly god like even aged 35.

No it isn't, it's just me outlining how Xavi and Iniesta also benefit enormously from Messi. Again, that's not up for dispute. Anyone who's watched a fair bit of Barcelona in La Liga will back that up.

As I said earlier. The perfect control experiment. International football is consistent in its attributes. The shear inconsistency of it all and short time frame to prepare for competition. Thus if you are a true footballing great you will shine regardless. The difference between it and club football is your individual merits will stick out way more. Because you don't have endless hours of practice to perfect routines with your team mates. So you will shine because of what you can do rather than what platform your team provides for you.

I dunno, I didn't get that bit at all. We've been over the rest of it - being successful at international level (or at all) with the national team isn't a necessary condition for being the most talented footballer, or the best footballer of all time, say. It's too limited a way to look at what is obviously a much, much bigger picture. There is certainly a trend, but that is all it is. A trend.

It really isn't IMO. Club level is a total comfort zone. Teams are built around stars. At international level stars have to prove why they are stars. For that is the level at which their individual merits have to win out for their teams. Rather than their teams building a platform for them to shine in optimality.

At club level the individual star is always the winner. For the aim of the collective is to maximise the damage their best player/players can do. Taking his possible achievements to even high levels of acclaim in quest for the collective to win honors.

It is by no means a comfort zone.

The rest of your post, again, further highlights the difficulty in transition from club to international football, and ignores the variables of international football, and how they affect a player more nowadays than it ever has done. It is much harder to be an individual in today's game, and this sort of problem makes it hugely difficult to express yourself in an unfamiliar environment.

Such is the greater emphasis on tactical nouse, science and preparation in football.

We will leave it there because we're just going round in circles.

It most certainly does not. You missed the point completely.

Spain's formation is different to Barca's, though.
It isn't. Spain won the world cup playing 4-3-3 with Villa on the left.

It's an irrefutable fact that having Messi, Pedro and Villa infront of them is incredibly important to dominating the final third. That is different from controlling the game.
Spain already proved that claim is false. Both at Euro 2008 and at the world cup.

No it isn't, it's just me outlining how Xavi and Iniesta also benefit enormously from Messi.
Rather it was you trying to make it seem like they don't do as well without him. But that's that.....

I dunno, I didn't get that bit at all. We've been over the rest of it - being successful at international level (or at all) with the national team isn't a necessary condition for being the most talented footballer, or the best footballer of all time, say.
Being successful at international football has been part and parcel of being a football legend and anyone being rated as the best or one of the best of all time. I don't see how that can ever be in dispute.

Go through a list of the greatest football legends. You don't get in the top 10 by being a novice in international football. No matter how talented you are.

There's really nothing more to be said beyond that on the issue.

Adam, that is brilliant. Tikkaboo son, tikkaboo.
 
He was magical against the USA yesterday.

However, I think he has been getting a little selfish (and rightly so) over the past few months - it seems as if he is going on more dribbles and running into blind alleys rather than opting for a pass these days. Still sensational though.

I blame the bolded bit on his new center forward role.
 
Same.

And I dont think he was magical with that finishing. He and Di Maria could have had a hat trick each and still missed good chances.
