2014 FIFA World Cup

Yeah, because "more quality goals" is some how a metric measured. Not only is that not true, you just cannot use anything to prove that it is.

I'm assuming it is a serious post so I guess I'll give a half response.

1. Ronaldo is not a winger. The last time he has played as a winger for a club side is Man Utd in 06-07. He sometimes plays as a winger for Portugal though. Nor is Messi a pure striker.

2. Messi has scored a lot of wonder strikes. He obv isn't as atheltic, so all of his fantastic goals are from dribbling past 3-4 defenders and chipping the keeper. Vs Arsenal, Real Madrid, Valencia, Getafe all come to memory. They both score some amazing goals.

3. Messi was injured for a longer period and also played off the bench a few times. Just because he played better in a 3-4 month period, does not make him a better player, (see Durant and LeBron).

4. Score points (Goals and Assists) isn't a very good metric to use either when comparing players. It helps, but its not like sort by scorepoints=best player.

1. Ronaldo is a complete winger, Messi is a centre forward. This isn't opinion, it's a fact. Go to transfer market or whatever people use nowadays.

2. Google "Ronaldo best goals" or something and compare them to whatever Messi does. It's obvious they're better- the free kicks, pummels from long range in open play (eg vs porto), great trick shots, etc.

3. Injury is not an excuse. If a player is injured they are contributing nothing to a team and should be seen as that way, if that makes sense?

4. When Messi was scoring more but Ronaldo arguably playing much better, the main argument of Messi fans was that he scores more goals. Now it's different?

You legit cannot be serious.

I'm not going to continue having this conversation with someone who is about as intelligent as a loaf of bread.

That's a horrible way to talk about yourself. Be the best you can be. Get help man, for reals.

I am not even shocked that you or elephants don't understand, even though it really is basic football iq.

My 'night'.

5 year old has earache - play night nurse until 1.
Alarm set for around half time so I can efficiently watch first half and maximise much needed sleep.
But - seems I recorded Iranian radio on one of the SBS channels so miss first half.
Lose 47 minutes of my life watching that second half.
My only fantasy player - Ozil - gets subbed off.
Ronaldo - show pony - does nothing - get your own name pal!

At least Ozil got to 60 minutes.

Good night.

PS Child asleep!

And now Coentrao's done a hammy for the Portugese. This is hilarious as a German fan.  ;D

Thought so too but was holding his groin, so maybe that :-X. I haven't actually looked up because fell asleep around 70 minute mark (As had to get up at like 9 today).

Watched last 25 mins of Ghana Vs USA, was worth it :D.

Btw, if you guys can't have a civilized arguments/discussions without resorting to childish insults, better not start it next time please (Like El didn't) :).
