Best player in the world

Messi is severely overrated. He plays in a pretty showere league (there's only really 4-5 teams who can challenge Real/Barca while in the EPL United and City can lose to anyone) for his whole career, while Ronaldo has dominated in both LL and EPL.

I do somewhat agree with you Jukes.
Messi needs to either go to another team or win the world cup to prove that he's the best player in the world.
His goal scoring rate for Argentina is pretty damn poor...

Messi is probably a one-club player. And why would he want to leave Barca when they're paying him more than any club can afford to? ::)

How is the La Liga a bad league? A Spanish Europa League Final, 2 teams in the UCL semis, and after this season they will be ranked above the EPL.

@BS The highs are very far away from the lows. Real, Barca, Bilbao, Atletico and I guess Sevilla are all good teams, but the other 15 are nowhere near, with the exception of a few; see the various 6 to 9 nil wins. Meanwhile in the EPL Blackburn who are 19th beat us at Old Trafford.

@tbag people are saying he's the best of all time. He is no where near as good as Pele, Maradona, Best, Cruyff etc and never will be.

You forgot Valencia who have been 3rd in the past 3 years.

Malaga are starting to get competitive as well

Chelsea win vs Man City was the greatest! I was in Belgium and in some dodgy bar drinking warm beer for that game... Love it hahaha.

Messi 5 goals v Leverkusen + 14 for the year to equal the record at the UCL

the UCL is a little better than the EPL right?

sure he needs to win a world cup to be the greatest but...

with that record plus 3 UCL wins he is NOT severly overated!

tbagrocks · May 13, 2012, 02:15:52 AM

btw pls, Maradona is the greatest cheat ever!
