I just think that when people look back at this period of time in football, they'll only remember it as the time of Messi.

They'll remember Ronaldo but to really leap into the pantheon of greats you have to define a big big match.
Ronaldo hasn't really done that yet.
It doesn't help that he's in Messi's shadow though, his achievements look shit in comparison. Messi is the GOAT.
I haven't seen any of those other guys player, but still, Messi is the GOAT.
because you have players like puskas and di stefano in your squad. i find it hard to believe that you've seen enough of them to make that judgement.
unless you are 75 years old of course
that'd make you older than footballfan
Go back to bed, Fry.
Messi is better, probably the best I've ever seen alongside R9, but Messi is crazy consistent.
If only Argentina had a worthwhile backline, I put them down for next year's World Cup.
and Ronaldo in the same way as people see Pele and Maradonna.
But Pele retired the year that Maradona started playing.

The only thing that Messi needs is to win the World Cup.
And that's looking difficult with how amazing Spain and Brazil is performing.

That's what you get when you go to RM, your value as a human decreases. Watch Ronaldo play for any other club and people would be getting tattoos of him.
He's shone in the Clasico's recently but I doubt he'll get the opportunity on the big stage again. I hope he does have that chance. He was great in the CL final against Chelsea, still remember that towering header he scored.The good days :')
He's unlucky to be playing in the same era of Messi. Messi's individual achievements would outshine most, yet still, Ronnie's able to compete and have people consider him better, even though most would rightly side with Messi.

Turok is 15, is my guess.
Yeah but what I mean is when people look back at the greats they will remember these two and not much else. The casual football fan I mean.
all i'm saying is: we can see players like ronaldo and messi every week in la liga, the champions league, the copa, international friendlies etc.; we can form an informed opinion about these players. when you start going way back 30, 40 or even 50 years, i think it becomes increasingly harder to name those players some of the best players of all-time based on a few videos here and there.
We just need big bids from Monaco for both of them. Messi + C. Ronaldo at their boyhood clubs. :O

The only players I've seen in that list other than Messi are Maldini and Zidane, my word. Zidane.
These two were just plain awesome.
I hope Iniesta is remembered too. Absolute joy to watch. Even against Brazil, it was like they would mark him with 3/4 players and try to get at him. He just brushed past players so easily.
Only player imo who has a similar level of ball control as Messi.

Sometimes I remember Zidane and how incredible he was, he is more in memory than games watched, Roberto Carlos is too. It's surreal to me that I've managed to watch him live. Partly because I've only seen him in his prime when he was already on the top of the world.
I wonder if kids who grew up and found Messi as he is now feel the same way.
zidane is the true goat as far as i'm concerned.
zidane was an artist. he created art.

Messi is goat. But Ronaldo still has plenty of game left and will be considered one of the best of all time.
It's just cool to hate him now, even though he sells more merchandising which is always this paradoxical shit.

modern players are more fit, tactically wise and improved overall. that fat coke snorting weirdo wouldnt be half the player he was in the 80s if he was playing now.
a modern 11 that can win with flair and a tuesday night at stoke-

So good.
Plus, he's more of a legend for saying those things about Gerrard.
What things?
If they're bad my heart will break because they're my two favourite players of all time.
are u cray cray
Gerrard is number one in my heart

Shagwell bro, when you want to go from Liverpool to Man Utd let me know. No shame in leaving Liverpool behind, success has.

I hate it how some GAF quasi celebrities have had various tags already.

I dunno, didn't really follow that. Alligatorjandro or Devolution are good examples I think
Haha, mate I wish it worked that way! I'm stuck with Liverpool for life. Been a supporter since I was four fucking years old! I cried tears of joy when we won the bloody Worthington Cup back in..2002 was it? Can't even remember at this point.
My shameful truth is that I was a regular on RAWK for a while before I wised up to its laughability. Thankfully I've found my home here now.
Although once the season kicks off and we're shite and you all take the piss I don't know if I've got the balls to stick through it. Going to need a thicker skin I reckon.

Sunshine was really good, it's not a perfect film but it had its moments. Many moments actually, I'd have prefered if it was a little slow paced. Take a moment to watch space, a bit like 2001 and Moon. I really like it though. I love the credits song too, that I'll probably listen to a lot.
It's crazy how we choose, at any age actually. I take no pride of superiority for choosing United it was pure luck or maybe because they fit my character all too well. Anyway, I can't promise I won't mock Liverpool, I am sorry but sometimes it is a bit too funny.
As an Egyptian I'd have thought you'd have a much thicker skin than most here!
