" This was one of the worst teams to win a Trophy." EXACTLY. Ronaldo dragged this team of nobodies to a championship.

"Messi was best player at the Copa. 4 finals shows that he's taking Argentina to the brink" No, it showed that he's capable of an unprecedented 4 straight choke streak in the biggest stages of the game. It's better to lose early than lose in the finals - once you're in the finals with the #1 ranked team in the world and you lose it falls on your superstar to take the blame. And he personally choked most of those away. 0 goals and 0 assists in all of them, missed penalties to top off the choke streak.

 

 

He didn't drag his team. He didn't have a good tournament. Defense did.

And Croatia yes better than Wales and were very very unlucky. Again congrats to him but proves nothing in the greatest ever debate. 

 

I never said he's the greatest ever, neither him or Messi are. I just said this catapults him above Messi. He dragged this Portugal team on his back, most goals were either his or assisted by him. Even the finals goal he didnt play in was created by him according to Eder:

And these were no empty gestures, according to his team-mates. Already in the early hours of Sunday, this was being recorded as Ronaldo’s doing. "[Ronaldo] told me I would score the winning goal for the team," said Eder. "He gave me this strength, this energy and it was vital.”

Portugals defense was good, but Ronaldo is what broke the 0-0 deadlock almost every time, either with passing or with scoring or hitting clutch penalties.
