Forums - Sports - Ronaldo has surpassed Messi today

Nem on 10 July 2016

Oi... mediocre at best is not really accurate. Also, he didn't play most of the final due to injury, so he didn't carry anyone.

Aside from that yes. Ronaldo won the champions league and the Euro 2016 this season while Messi lost the copa america and left the argentinian team and got sent to jail for fraud with suspended sentance shortly after. Ronaldo is on a different level now. Sorry Messi fans, but its no contest anymore. Ronaldo is the best.

Ronaldo is bigger than Messi.

What happened this summer?

Messi loses the final and retires in a huff.

Ronaldo wins the euros.

Ronaldo recently also won the champions league.

2016 has been kind to Ronaldo in his battle with Messi.

It's also below in entertainment value for the same reason

 

Club football is (mostly) about which team has most money to pump into players and managers :-/

Less entertainment value because there's more money in it? How does that work exactly?

I think international football is less entertaining due to the higher prevalence of boring defensive teams. Champions League football is actually exciting to watch...

It's not because of the fact yhat there's more money in it, but because it becomes about which team is owned by the most spendy billionaire.

 

League football is better in quality and the individual matches are better, but a league still has less entertainment value than international tourneys.

 

EDIT: in most cases. Not always, for both of the above statements.

LOL Portugal were the luckiest team i've seen in a long time in a tournament.

Ronaldo's contribution was fumbling the ball throughout the tournament.

Luck is a common used word to dismiss merits of other teams.

Sure there were times that Portugal were fortunate in their goals and defense but to get that "lucky" you have to work for it.

Portuguese defense was simply the best during this tournament. Their midifeld was their best weapon as it dominated and kept most teams away from their goal.

Their 2 front men were combative enough to hold back their opponents' defense to press in block and choke Portuguese game and opportunistic enough to capitalize in chances they created to beat their opponents.

That's their luck buddy.

He has achieved the second greatest prize in all football, winning the Euro in an absolute dominant individual fashion. Messi is a system player, Ronaldo is an individual that can drag any team with him. What Messi couldnt achieve with the highest ranked national football team in the world Ronaldo did with a team that most consider mediocre at best. History was made.

 

Yeah he didnt play in the finals, but he dragged his team there and his leadership was the inspiration his team needed to pull out that final win.

I was just waiting for a pathetic thread like this to pop up. Ronaldo will never be better than Messi. This was one of the worst teams to win a Trophy. It happens. Ronaldo was poor in this tournament.  Very poor. Not even in the top 5 players at Euros. Messi was best player at the Copa. 4 finals shows that he's taking Argentina to the brink. 

Ronaldo is all about personal glory. Messi is a team player.  2 years younger than Ronaldo and already achieved far more.

Messi has better stats. He scores and creates better goals. Better goals to shots ratio. Better freekick taker. Better dribbler, more assists and more silverware. 

The only people who think Ronaldo is better than Messi are Portuguese, Real and Man United fans.
