Shut up man

Question: do Messi dickriders wear crash helmets?

okay…see the bigger picture

most g/a, most trophies,most indivisual awards, highest avg player rating, most motm…this can make him the goat…at least for me…for me a very strong argument…

​

however there may be arguments of others being the goat, and some stats MAY be misleading as many GREATESTS have played in different leagues,positions,timelines…id still go with messi anyday though even before this bdor

I do

Goat debate in 2023 lol. He needs it in 2012

There is no goat in football only the best of an era.

The best player I’ve seen in my lifetime, not the biggest inspiration, however, and that counts for something in this boring GOAT talk imo.

People can absorb from football either pure dopamine from its entertainment aspect or practical benefits for their daily life. Both are fine. And both players play different roles in this narrative.

Messi teaches little other than if you’re talented and surrounded by talented people, you’ll succeed. Not saying he didn’t work for it, he obviously had to, but what Cristiano achieved is more inspiring and I’d say an overall better practical example (sporting wise).

Coming from an island in the middle of the ocean, void of opportunities, and developing this much cannot be ignored. Going from that to being considered one of the best to ever to do it, believing in yourself and delivering when your peers need you to.

Whatever, disappointed in myself for having engaged in this Messi vs Ronaldo talk, but to me, I’ll always see it this way. Ronaldo is more “useful”, if you get what I mean, to one of the main target audiences of football, which are kids full of dreams.
