I disagree with the line of thought great players have to win titles such as World Cup or their confederation title to secure their place.

I also think players should be separated based on periods they play in. Comparing Puskas to Mueller to Ronaldo is nigh impossible because they played with and against such dramatically different sides in differing conditions, equipment or even rules.

It is safe to say that Messi is among the elite of this era, and when he is done people will talk about him much in the way they do Pele and Maradona. I'm just enjoying watching him play (unless it is destroying my country like he did this week...)
